Elegant Fall Wedding at the Gardenia in Dallas

Weddings

February 20, 2024

Congratulations to Ashley and Jonathan! This October, I had the joy of joining them for their elegant wedding day at the Gardenia in Dallas, TX! I absolutely love the Gardenia and was pleased to be back with this beautiful couple. With elegant details, a beautiful chapel wedding, surprise portraits with some farm animals, and an outdoor cocktail hour, Ashley and Jonathan’s wedding was a dream! Scroll down to see some of my favorite moments.

Fall Wedding at the Gardenia

Ashley and Jonathan prepared onsite with their family and friends. The Gardenia has some gorgeous getting ready spaces, which always makes my photographer heart very happy! When they were ready, it was time to meet for their ceremony. Onsite, the Gardenia has a beautiful room that can be converted into a chapel or reception space with huge windows for lots of natural light. That’s where Ashley and Jonathan had their ceremony. It was so sweet and watching them exchange their vows was super special! I’m still obsessed with the incredible floral arbor they had at their ceremony!!

Afterwards, Ashley and Jonathan (and I!) explored more of the grounds at the Gardenia for their portraits. They even got to bring their pup along for some of their photos. He was a sweetheart. But, he wasn’t the only animal we found! The Gardenia had some of their little cows available for some super cute photo ops – and it was absolutely adorable! When the newlyweds were done petting the animals, we headed out to some of the fields on the edge of the property to capture our last portraits as the sun began to set. I loved photographing all of the lace detailing on Ashley’s wedding gown. It looked amazing on her!

Dallas Wedding Reception

Ashley and Jonathan ended their night with a beautiful and elegant wedding reception inside the space at the Gardenia. The venue has a lot of white walls and large windows, so Ashley and Jonathan brought pops of color with their light pink tablecloths, glass and gold accents, and pastel pink flower arrangements. Their pup made another appearance in a figurine on top of their beautiful wedding cake, too! So sweet.

Congratulations again, Ashley and Jonathan! I’m so happy for you both and thrilled I could be with you to celebrate this big moment for you both!!
