Andi + Devin Wedding

There’s something about Fort Worth — the kind of magic that makes your chest swell with pride just for being here. A city that carries the grit of the Old West, the elegance of modern Texas charm, and a heart as big as the wide-open plains. Andi + Devin’s wedding was exactly that kind of day: bold, romantic, full of history, and unmistakably Texan.

The day began high above downtown in the Presidential Suite of the Hilton, where Andi and her crew got ready. What a space! Bright, airy, and full of personality — just like Andi herself. The laughter, the champagne toasts, the quiet moments between best friends — it all felt like the soft opening to a true Fort Worth love story. Every mirror reflection, every shared smile, every swirl of a dress set the tone for something extraordinary.

From there, the story moved to Hotel Drover — a venue that blends Fort Worth’s storied past with modern comfort in a way only this city can. Reclaimed wood beams, longhorns, leather, antler-inspired chandeliers… it’s more than décor. It’s a love letter to Cowtown. Andi + Devin’s black, white, and gold palette fit right in: elegant, timeless, and glimmering with just the right touch of Texas sparkle.

And then there’s Shannon with Integrity Events + Design. Y’all… if you want calm in the middle of the wedding whirlwind, she’s your person. Watching her guide the day with that signature steadiness — smoothing edges, solving problems before they ever surfaced, and keeping Andi + Devin fully present — that’s the kind of coordination that turns a beautiful wedding into a flawless one. If coordinating weddings is a rodeo, Shannon is the reigning champion rider every time.

The first look was everything — quiet, emotional, grounding. A little pause before the celebration surged forward. Devin’s brother officiating added such a heartfelt touch, weaving family, faith, and tradition into a ceremony that felt intimate yet monumental.

And then… the cocktail hour magic. Literally. Guests wandered into the social hour expecting drinks and conversation — and instead got close-up illusions, card tricks, and that “how on earth did he do that?” wonder that lit up the room from @oh.my.bill. It was unexpected in the best way, one of those unforgettable touches that people will be talking about for years.

Once the dance floor opened, Fort Worth showed up the way it always does — with joy, grit, heart, and just a hint of rowdy fun. Friends and family packed in tight, boots tapping, dresses spinning, everybody celebrating like the night would never end. After a year of planning, their vision didn’t just come to life… it came alive.

Capturing this day reminded me why I love my job: Fort Worth’s legacy, Hotel Drover’s charm, Shannon’s mastery, a cocktail-hour magician (come on — how fun?!), and a love so strong you can feel it in every frame.

This was a wedding that will live on in memory, in photos, and in the heart of Texas.
