Cinnamon Barn Wedding Photos

Ashley and Alex tied the knot last Friday night at Cinnamon Barn in Princeton, TX, and their wedding was nothing short of magical. This was my first time capturing Cinnamon Barn wedding photos, and I was absolutely blown away. The venue is stunning, with its charming rustic elegance, and the owner is the sweetest!

Ashley and Alex share a unique love story. Both grew up in Farmers Branch, attending the same schools and even overlapping in college, yet their paths never crossed. That all changed in 2021 when they both swiped right on Bumble. A month later, they made it official, and two years later, Alex popped the question at Mexican Sugar—the restaurant where they had their first date. To make the moment even more special, Alex had gathered their closest family and friends, completely surprising Ashley when she arrived for what she thought was just a girls’ night. Of course, she said YES!

Fast forward to their wedding day, which brought a little (okay, a lot!) of wind, but that didn’t stop them from having a beautiful outdoor ceremony. When I arrived to start capturing their Cinnamon Barn wedding photos, Ashley and Alex were in their respective suites getting ready. Ashley was all set, waiting for the moment to step into her dress. As soon as she did, the emotions set in—tears of joy flowed as she realized she was about to marry her best friend. One of the sweetest moments of the day was the love shared between Ashley and Annabelle, Alex’s daughter. She was overjoyed for her dad and her new bonus mom, making the day even more special by delivering gifts to both of them. Alex received cufflinks with a picture of his father, while Ashley was gifted a James Avery charm bracelet.

Their first look took place in the reception area, and the excitement on their faces was priceless. Afterward, Ashley shared a special first look with her dad before we began capturing the pre-ceremony photos. And let me just say—the bridesmaid dresses were EVERYTHING! The vibrant colors, paired with the gorgeous floral arrangements, created such a cheerful and elegant atmosphere.

The ceremony was officiated by Ashley’s brother, and he did an incredible job. As Ashley walked down the aisle, both she and Alex couldn’t hold back their tears. Their heartfelt, personal vows were the perfect mix of sweet sentiments and laughter.

After the ceremony, we took family photos, and then the celebration continued! A lively Mariachi band led the cocktail hour while guests mingled on the patio, enjoying drinks, a photo booth, and an audio guestbook. Once Ashley and Alex made their grand entrance into the reception, they shared their first dance as husband and wife. One of the most touching moments of the night was Alex’s dance with his daughter, which had everyone (including me!) tearing up. They also shared heartfelt dances with their parents before kicking off an epic dance party.

The night was filled with love, laughter, and nonstop celebration, making for the most incredible Cinnamon Barn wedding photos. Ashley and Alex’s wedding was a perfect reflection of their love—joyful, vibrant, and unforgettable. I’m so honored to have captured their special day at this beautiful venue!
