Amie + Brenden| The French Farmhouse; Collinsville, Texas

Sep 24

Some weddings leave you smiling all the way home. Amie + Brenden’s? This one had my whole heart.

The French Farmhouse was showing OFF, y’all. Sunshine poured into that beautiful chapel, white flowers stood out against black dresses, and all that Southern romance wrapped up in one gorgeous place. Then you put these two in the middle of it, looking at each other like THAT? Goodness. We could have photographed them all day.

Their private vow reading was one of my favorite parts. With a celebration this big, I loved that they made room for something so personal. Just their words, their promises to God and the person they’re choosing forever with. Those are the moments that stay with you long after the music stops.

And then came a thoughtfully planned ceremony, a wedding party bringing ALL the good vibes, and a room full of people ready to celebrate them big. Because this is Texas, honey. We can do timeless romance AND a dance floor where nobody wants to go home!

Can we talk about the cars?! The French Farmhouse’s stunning 1920s beauty, a Ford Model T Tudor sedan, was made for a little newlywed romance. Then Amie’s dad brought his own coupe for their getaway! Of course, we grabbed him and his wife for a photo with it, too. It’s not ALL about the bride + groom, y’all!! Haha! There’s a whole family’s story unfolding on a wedding day, and I want those memories saved, too.

And speaking of Family… After Amie + Brenden booked Blackall Photography, we discovered we had so many Lewisville local people in common. Her dad was a Lewisville Fighting Farmer AND friends with The Cowboy… Y’all know how much I love taking care of our Farmer Family.

And after the dancing, the dips, the happy chaos, and that bubble-engulfed last kiss before driving away… these two jetted off to PARIS, FRANCE at 5 a.m. the next morning! From The French Farmhouse to France. I mean, come ON. What a whirlwind weekend, and what a way to begin married life!

None of this happens without people pouring their hearts into it. Stacey + her team deserve so much love for helping bring this beautiful day together. And LS Catering? The BEST food we’ve ever had at weddings. I have said it, I will keep saying it, and that is a hill I will die on!

So much love also goes to our beautiful friends at Coco Fleur Events, Ben with IYN – DFW Wedding DJs & Lighting, who is an incredible artist. Amie’s beautiful gown was by Stardust & Lulu’s Bridal; Ashley Inglet with Glam By Ash & Team IS PHENOMENAL Y’ALL, Barnett Sweets & Co. provided the delish cake; Cheyenne with All Good Moments- Wedding Content Creator. It was the first time working with a content creator, and she was just as sweet as could be, with a beautiful presence! Our friends at S&S Events and Rentals – Shindigs & Socials, The Scoop Ice Cream Cart, Revival Photo Booth Co., INKredible Dance Floor Wraps, and Professional Partiers Bar all brought their A game! What a team to have loving on our couple!

And one more BIG love note to Jenna, my ride-or-die wedding photographer extraordinaire. This girl shows up, speaks fluent Kelly (a special skill, y’all!), and gets the job done, and then some. She’s right there with me for the beautiful moments, the happy chaos, and all the little things it takes to make Blackall Photography… well, Blackall Photography! Having someone beside you who gets your heart AND your crazy? That’s gold. Jenna, you are the absolute best, and I’m so thankful I get to do this with you. 🤍

Amie + Brenden, thank you for letting us be part of it all. The quiet promises, the arms wrapped tight, the people cheering you on, and the beginning of a life big enough for all the adventures ahead. Texas hearts, Paris honeymoon. Oh, what a beginning. 🤍
