This one’s a love story I’ll hold onto forever. Selene and Nikki’s wedding day at Cathedral Guadalupe was everything—intentional, heartfelt, and full of moments that made me stop and just soak it in.

The day started with the buzz of excitement in the air. Selene and Nikki got ready separately, surrounded by their closest family and friends. It was beautiful chaos—laughter echoing through hotel hallways, the shuffle of dresses, last-minute details, and sweet hugs from family who had flown in from all over the country. They didn’t see each other until the ceremony, saving that first look for when Nikki walked down the aisle. Cue tears (mine included).

The cathedral meant so much to them, not just as a stunning space but as a reflection of their faith. And wow, was it breathtaking. The light streaming through those tall windows was perfect—soft, warm, and dreamy. No need for flash here; it was all natural, organic, and full of life.

After the ceremony, we headed outside to the stairs (a literal dream spot for photos). Selene and Nikki couldn’t stop smiling as we captured some of my favorite portraits ever. Then we roamed around downtown, grabbing a mix of editorial shots that felt modern but still so them. There’s just something magical about the mix of city vibes with the timeless feel of a cathedral wedding.

The reception brought us back to the same hotel where the day began. It felt cozy and intimate, like one big family dinner that turned into a dance party. Everyone there was so full of love for these two, and it was clear how much Selene and Nikki adored them back.

I left that night with my heart full and my memory cards overflowing. These two? They’re the kind of couple who remind you why you do this—why capturing love stories matters.

If you’re dreaming of a wedding at Cathedral Guadalupe in Downtown Dallas, I’d love to help you create something just as meaningful and uniquely you.
