Rustic Grace Wedding Photos

Amanda and Cory were referred to me from a past bride. I quickly fell in love with these two during their engagement session. Since COVID blew through, they weren’t sure if they were going to even have a wedding and luckily, everything went as planned… Well, except for their honeymoon :(.

Amanda and Cory met at OSU in 2014 where Amanda was getting her Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Cory was getting his MBA. In 2015, they moved to DFW where Amanda pursued a Master of Education in Counseling and Cory started his career.

On April 8th, 2019, Cory proposed at their favorite cabin in Broken Bow, OK. He prepared a candlelit dinner on the back wrap-around balcony overlooking a beautiful creek. He made a playlist of their favorite songs and hung twinkle lights around the deck. It was very sweet and thoughtful and she of course said YES!

Rustic Grace wedding photos are probably some of my favorites, especially in the chapel. Their chapel is so gorgeous. Amanda and Cory chose to do a first look and it was filled with tears of joy. They wrote letters to each other and sat in a pew while they each read to the other their personal vows. That was such a sweet moment to witness.

After the ceremony and a few quick photos, they entered the reception complete with their first dance. While the guests were enjoying the cake, we snuck out for some sunset photos which were perfect. As all the guests enjoyed dancing, the night came to an end and the couple shared a private last dance and then walked through bubbles full of well wishes from all of the friends and family.
