Cory and Jordan’s wedding was a very special wedding for me. I mentored Cory in high school and saw her grow and transform to a beautiful woman and now wife! Being a wedding photographer is so fun because you get to witness so many special moments from the engagement to the wedding day!

The wedding was at Marty Leonard chapel which is now one of my favorite locations. The chapel is brilliantly painted in natural light, and since they don’t place any restrictions on photographers, I could get pictures from every angle! Which was perfect for the romantic Cory, who wanted pictures capturing the look on Jordan’s face as she came into view.

The reception was at the Woman’s Club of Fort Worth, a venue charged with vintage charm. I loved the understated elegance of Mason Jars wrapped in lace filled with simple pink and white roses as centerpieces. She is the ultimate crafty lady and made everything from metal trays with chalkboard paint for table signs, a Carter Reception plaque, vintage contrasting china plates for her candy display, and even all of the bouquets. The Carters have some of the most eclectic friends! I had to include the timeline of the bouquet and flower toss. Check out the bridesmaid that gets hit in the head with the bouquet. It broke apart so 2 girls got 1 flower. I guess that means they are second and third in line for marriage!

When departing the reception, they passed through a sea of guests waving streamers with bells attached shouting well wishes to the happy couple!
