Fort Worth Courthouse Wedding Photographer

A courthouse wedding can still feel like your wedding

Courthouse weddings are usually simple, but that does not mean the day feels small. There are still nerves before the ceremony and that little moment afterward when you look at each other and realize you are actually married.

If you are getting married at the Tarrant County Courthouse, the Parker County Courthouse in Weatherford or somewhere else around DFW, you do not need to know how to plan the photos. I will help you figure out where we need to be and what makes sense with the time we have.

I will give you direction when you need it, but I do not want the whole day to feel like one long photo shoot.

What three hours of coverage actually gives us

Three hours normally gives us time for you arriving, the ceremony, photos with the people who came with you and then portraits of the two of you around the courthouse or downtown. The exact order will depend on your ceremony time.

If you are planning dinner, cake or something else afterward, tell me when you reach out. We can talk about adding coverage so we are not trying to squeeze too much into the three-hour collection.

How the day might flow

I normally arrive about thirty minutes before the ceremony. That gives us time to meet, take a few photos and get inside without starting the day in a rush.

After the ceremony, we will do the family photos you care about while everyone is still together. Then we can let everybody go celebrate while we walk around and make portraits of the two of you.

One of the nice things about getting married at the Tarrant County Courthouse is that we do not have to spend half your coverage driving. We can use the courthouse and downtown Fort Worth without moving the car. I will plan the route around the weather and light.

Courthouse wedding photography begins at $950

The starting collection includes three hours of coverage for $950. A 30% deposit is due when you book to secure your date.

How much coverage do we need?

Three hours works well for most courthouse weddings when the plan is the ceremony, family photos and portraits afterward. Once I know your ceremony time and how many people are coming, I can help you make sure the plan fits.

Can family and friends be included?

Absolutely. We will make a short list ahead of time so we do not forget anyone who matters to you.

What if the weather changes?

We will adjust the portrait plan around the weather. Downtown Fort Worth has covered areas and plenty of places we can use without turning the day into a scramble.

What if we are planning dinner or cake afterward?

Let me know when you reach out. We can talk about adding coverage so those plans have enough time instead of trying to force everything into the three-hour collection.

Tell me what you have planned so far

Send me your date, the courthouse and a little bit about what you are planning. It is completely fine if you do not have every detail figured out yet. I can help you sort out how much time we need.

If you want to see what one of these days can look like, you can look through a real Fort Worth courthouse wedding before you decide.

When you are ready, send me a message and tell me a little about the two of you.
