Dallas Wedding | Perkins Chapel & The Arts District Mansion Wedding
Perkins Chapel on the campus of Southern Methodist University is one of the most beautiful and iconic wedding venues in Dallas. Known for its stunning architecture, soaring ceilings, and intimate atmosphere, the chapel provides a perfect setting for couples who want a traditional church wedding in the heart of the city.
For this wedding, the day began with preparations at The Crescent Court Hotel surrounded by family and close friends before everyone gathered at Perkins Chapel for a ceremony filled with emotion, laughter, and beautiful moments. The chapel's picturesque grounds provided an elegant backdrop for the first look and bridal party portraits and the light airy chapel space lit up in the afternoon light made for a stunning ceremony backdrop.
One of the things we love most about photographing weddings at Perkins Chapel is the variety of locations available for portraits. The historic architecture, tree-lined pathways, and classic university setting offer countless opportunities for natural, storytelling images that feel unique to each couple. Rather than relying on a predetermined list of poses, we use the light, location, and personality of the day to create portraits that feel authentic and personal.

Wedding Photography at Perkins Chapel
Our approach to wedding photography is rooted in storytelling. We believe the most meaningful images come from real moments rather than constant direction. Throughout the ceremony and celebration, we focus on documenting genuine interactions, emotional moments, and the small details that often become the most treasured memories years later.
For portraits, we collaborate with each couple to create images inspired by the unique combination of light, architecture, and personality present on their wedding day. The result is a collection of photographs that feels distinctive rather than repeated from wedding to wedding.
