Jen & Ben
Not only did Jen and Ben’s north Texas wedding take place at one of the most beautiful and romantic wedding venues in Texas, but their day included so many fun details and relaxed moments with the couple. Going into their wedding, these two wanted a huge party with their loved ones mixed with a few moments set aside for just the two of them and I think it’s safe to say that’s exactly what they got!
D’Vine Grace Vineyard: an Italian-themed North Texas Wedding Venue
When I first stepped onto the grounds of D’vine Grace Vineyard, I instantly felt like I had been whisked away to Italy. This north Texas wedding venue has all the making of a Tuscan vineyard and was the perfect location for Jen and Ben’s romantic wedding. The venue features lush green gardens with stone fountains, a grand staircase, Juliet balconies, and a sprawling vineyard just to name a few.
As a full-service wedding venue, D’vine offers everything couples need to bring their wedding day to life. Add to that the peaceful Italy-themed ambiance, and you’ve got a near-perfect wedding venue if you ask me!
Jen and Ben’s Relaxed North Texas Wedding
Surrounded by loved ones who had traveled to Dallas for their special day, Jen and Ben’s June wedding began with the couple getting ready in separate areas of the venue. Jen did a first look with her wedding party and father before doing a first look and letter reading with Ben. She had left the choice up to Ben whether or not to do a first look before the ceremony or when she walked down the aisle. There is no one way to do it when it comes to first looks, but I especially loved this couple’s choice to share a private first look as it allowed them some quiet moments together before the day began.
Their outdoor wedding ceremony took place on the patio with lush greenery views all around. After saying ‘I Do’, the couple took wedding and family portraits with their guests before running off to the vineyard for some couple photos.
One of my favorite memories from this north Texas wedding was during golden hour. Jen and Ben started running through the vines together laughing and taking in the reality that they were finally MARRIED! It was obvious how much love these two have for each other and I think you’ll be able to feel it in the images too.
Once we were done with their couple portraits, we headed back inside for the couple’s dinner reception. Jen and Ben had hired a saxophone player to play live music during cocktail hour which was such an elegant touch. On top of that, they included so many fun details which I absolutely LOVED! Some of my favorite details were the custom marquee sign and custom cocktail napkins (complete with fun facts about the couple), champagne tower, coffee truck, and sparkler exit complete with a vintage getaway car.

This north Texas wedding day was seriously perfect and, as you can tell, there was no shortage of good times. I sometimes find myself wishing we could go back and do it all again!
