Classic Wedding at The Preserve at Canyon Lake

We adored capturing Becca and Tanner’s simple yet classy wedding day! They hosted their celebration at The Preserve at Canyon Lake, an up-and-coming venue in central Texas. It features beautiful outdoor space and lovely white interiors filled with natural light. The minimalistic design is perfect for putting your signature spin on the venue with flowers and décor! We’re so glad we could document a wedding there, and we’re already looking forward to the next opportunity.

First Look Photography at The Preserve at Canyon Lake

Becca and Tanner chose to do a first look before their ceremony, and it was one of our favorite moments from the day. When Tanner turned around and saw his bride, his face wore the biggest smile! The two enjoyed intentional time together before getting swept into the busyness of the day. Meanwhile, we captured some stunning portraits! The Preserve at Canyon Lake sits inside a 170-acre wildlife preservation, and the 100-year-old trees and natural lakes dotting the landscape make beautiful photo backdrops.

Becca’s first look with her dad was also one of our favorite moments from the day. They share such a sweet relationship, and their embrace after Becca’s dad saw his daughter in her gorgeous gown melted our hearts! After they shared a private moment, Tanner joined them. Becca’s dad prayed over the couple, then Becca and Tanner read handwritten vows to each other in private. We love this option for couples who want to write personalized vows but don’t want to read them in front of hundreds of guests!

A Romantic Dance Under the Stars

The heartfelt moments didn’t stop there! Before Becca changed into her reception dress, she and Tanner staged a breathtaking sparkler exit with all their guests. Tanner dipped his bride and gave her a swoon-worthy kiss! Then, Becca changed into a shimmering silver-sequined gown perfect for dancing. She and Tanner took a spin on the outdoor dance floor beneath strings of romantic lights, and we had so much fun capturing the moment.
