Denise and Doug's wedding at D'Vine Grace Vineyard in McKinney was a day full of love, laughter, and unforgettable memories. The venue, with its elegant charm and picturesque surroundings, provided the perfect setting for the couple’s celebration of their love.
The day started with the bridal party getting ready in their separate rooms at the venue. The guys played a friendly game of pool, sharing laughs and enjoying the moment, while the girls popped champagne and prepared for the big day ahead. Denise was surrounded by her mom and best friend, who helped her with the final touches. Before the ceremony, Denise had a beautiful first look with the rest of the girls, creating a heartfelt moment captured by our Dallas wedding photographers.
Doug and Denise shared a special moment with their own first look, exchanging personal vows to each other before the ceremony. This intimate moment set the tone for the rest of the day, full of love and personal connections.
After the first look, we gathered the bridal party for some stunning group photos in front of D'Vine Grace Vineyard. The vineyard provided a beautiful backdrop for these memorable moments, and the laughter and joy from the bridal party made for some truly candid shots.
The ceremony took place indoors, where a close friend of the couple officiated, making the ceremony even more personal and meaningful. Doug and Denise shared lighthearted moments during the ceremony, including a funny joke from Denise in reference to Doug and his best man, which had everyone laughing. The couple’s connection was evident as they exchanged vows, surrounded by the love of their family and friends.
After the ceremony, we took some beautiful family photos before transitioning into the reception.
The reception at D'Vine Grace Vineyard was filled with love and joy. Denise and Doug shared their first dance as husband and wife, a magical moment filled with emotion. The evening continued with family dances, where Denise shared a dance with her dad, and Doug shared a dance with his mom.
As the night unfolded, the couple took a moment to step outside for some stunning sunset photos. The soft lighting and the vineyard’s serene surroundings provided a perfect setting for these portraits. Back inside, the dance floor came alive as guests enjoyed the music and energy.
The surprises didn’t stop there. A fun and spirited shoe game followed, where Denise and Doug answered questions about their relationship, adding an element of fun and entertainment for everyone. The cake cutting was followed by sweet toasts and more dancing, ensuring the evening was full of celebration and joy.
In a beautiful moment of gratitude, Denise gave her bouquet to her mom, acknowledging how fundamental her mother’s role has been in her life. This tender gesture was a reflection of the deep bond they shared.
