The Harwell Wedding

Pure joy. Those are the only words that can come close to capturing the wedding celebration of Karla and Glenn Harwell. 

In a heartwarming ceremony at Christ Chapel Bible Church, Karla and Glenn pledged their love to each other as well as to Glenn’s son William who was an important part of the ceremony. The bride was stunning in her elegant lace and satin dress from Mockingbird Bridal, while the groom and son looked particularly dapper in their custom tuxes from Men’s Warehouse. The entire event was both seamless and entirely authentic thanks in large part to behind the scenes magic worked by Gracie’s Events. 

The effortless elegance and infectious joy continued at the reception held in the art-deco glory of the T&P Building just outside of downtown Fort Worth. The bride and groom entered with an unforgettable, choreographed first dance and the party continued with plenty of dancing, a breathtaking five-tier cake from Creme de la Creme, and of course a rousing rendition of the Aggie War Hymn.  

As the evening finished with a silver-streamer sendoff and the bride and groom drove away in a vintage car, I couldn’t help but let out a happy sigh. I am so lucky to get to observe and capture such joy!

The Granaghan Wedding

Every wedding is full of joy, but not every wedding is full of such a rambunctious, tight-knit, enormous wedding party. Rudy and Randi became Mr. and Mrs. Granaghan on January 5th, and I couldn’t have dreamed up a more fun-filled wedding to kick off 2019. 

The day began with mimosas and makeup. Don’t be deceived by how elegant and gorgeous these ladies looked in their lilac dresses. When it comes to fun, these ladies know how to celebrate. When piling on the queen sized bed for a classic pre-wedding photo, these dainty ladies somehow managed to break the bed! Yes, you heard that right. Don’t worry, no permanent damage was done and we made some great memories and got some fantastic photos out of the mishap. 

This exuberance lasted all day long. It may have been a chilly evening, but inside Christ Chapel Bible Church, the auditorium was filled with warmth as family and friends gathered to celebrate this beautiful couple on their special day. Randi looked breathtaking in her dress by Bliss Bridal and Rudy was, of course, grinning from ear to ear. Highlighted at the center of the ceremony was a wooden cross adorned with cream and lilac flowers by Sage Floral Design, reminding everyone present that for this couple, Jesus is central. 

The celebration continued at the gorgeous Ashton Depot where the food was the delicious, the bride’s cake by Stir Crazy was a showstopper (as was the golf-themed groom’s cake by Loft 22), the speeches brought tears and ruckus laughter, and the dance floor was packed! Did I mention this wedding was a blast? In an exit lit by sparklers and smiles, the Granaghans set out on what I’m sure will be a lifetime of fun and joy together.
