Mr. & Mrs. Roberts

St. Francis de Sales Cathedral | Ellendale Country Club

Married: June 29, 2024


When I arrived at the Fondren home, I was immediately greeted by the most incredible group of girls. Seriously, I don't know how these amazing brides find me, but they sure know how to make a girl feel welcomed! The room was buzzing with excitement, champagne, and fun music. I especially loved that Courtney & Ben decided to embrace some Texas traditions since Ben is from Texas, including a house party. Each girl had a unique dress, and it was just perfect.


From the stunning flowers to the array of dresses, everything came together beautifully. One of the highlights for me was witnessing Courtney's dad's priceless reaction when he saw her for the first time.


Meanwhile, the groom and groomsmen suited up at the Courtyard Marriott. Spirits were high, and laughter filled the air as they made their way to St. Francis de Sales for a mix of formal portraits and lighthearted moments in the beautiful courtyard.


Before we knew it, Courtney was gracefully walking down the aisle to marry the love of her life. St. Francis de Sales Cathedral provided an exquisite backdrop; it's easy to forget how stunning our hometown cathedral is. Courtney & Ben's candlelight ceremony was simply breathtaking.


After the ceremony, we took a few portraits in the church before heading to Ellendale Country Club to celebrate. Joe Stark set the perfect tone, and when the cowboy hats came out, the energy never left the room—it was an unforgettable experience!


Courtney & Ben, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for allowing us the honor of photographing your special day. We hope your honeymoon was incredible. Congratulations once again!


God Bless,

Crystal
