A Rustic Outdoor Venue with Heart
If you're dreaming of a wedding with a peaceful, outdoorsy feel and a touch of rustic elegance, Cross Key Acres in Richmond, TX is a gem of a venue. We had the pleasure of photographing this laid-back and stylish wedding there, and it was such a joy from start to finish. Our coverage began during the final touches of the bride's prep. After a quiet moment for a first look with her dad (cue the tears!), we moved right into the ceremony. The deep red florals popped beautifully against the lush greenery surrounding the venue, and the soft blush tones of the bridal party's dresses added just the right amount of warmth to the palette. The ceremony was short, sweet, and full of love. The couple exchanged rings and lit a unity candle while their loved ones looked on, creating such an intimate and meaningful start to their marriage.
Natural Moments and Romantic Details
Then came one of our favorite parts of the day—portraits of the bride and groom. These two were effortlessly sweet together, and it was clear they were just soaking up the moment. Every laugh, glance, and hand squeeze felt natural and full of love. The reception was held indoors beneath stunning chandeliers that gave the whole space a soft romantic glow. Candles on the tables flickered through dinner and the first dance, creating an atmosphere that felt warm and celebratory. And that cake? A total showstopper, adorned with rich red flowers that tied everything together beautifully. Once the dance floor opened, the DJ kept the energy up all night, and guests of every age were out there having a blast. The night ended on a high note with a sparkler send-off—always a fun and photogenic way to wrap up a gorgeous wedding day.
