Melissa + Dustin are the sweetest couple you will ever meet. They definitely break the elopement myth.

Melissa + Dustin, without a doubt, are the epitome of a sweet and genuine couple. They shattered the elopement myth that suggests it requires an extravagant location or an Elvis-led ceremony. Their love story unfolded in a small, picturesque chapel that captured the essence of their intimacy and devotion. It was a true gem nestled in the heart of a Fort Worth, Tx. As we prepared to begin the ceremony, it was as if the beauty of their love filled every nook and corner.

One little detail that left me in tears on their wedding day as I watched it unfold. Melissa’s mom, her best friend, passed away only a couple of years ago. It was a painful, hard death and time for Melissa + her family. So on her wedding day, even though her mom couldn’t be there, Melissa incorporated little details of her: including her mom’s picture, which she set on the front pew where her mother would’ve sat.

Melissa + Dustin's eyes sparkled with affection and tenderness as they exchanged their vows, surrounded by their closest loved ones. They embraced the simplicity of the moment and showed the world what true love looks like. It was an honor to capture their special day and to witness the undeniable connection they share. Melissa + Dustin's love transcends any extravagant setting or flamboyant act; it shines brightly through their unwavering dedication to one another.
