About the Wedding

Ethereal Elegance Meets Southern Charm: A Romantic Wedding at Joslyn Castle in Omaha, Nebraska

With the bride hailing from Nebraska and the groom from Texas, their union felt like the perfect merging of Western warmth and Southern charm.

Before the formal ceremony, the couple shared a private vow exchange with the enchanting backdrop of Joslyn Castle & Gardens. Just the two of them, away from the crowd. It was a quiet, heartfelt moment that set the tone for the love-filled day to come.

Style That Spoke Volumes

From the fashion to the florals, every detail was intentionally curated to reflect the couple’s elegant yet playful style.

The bride, a talented photographer herself, knew exactly how to craft a visual story—and she did it flawlessly with her sleek, modern wedding dress that felt effortlessly sophisticated. Her groom stood beside her wearing a classic black tuxedo and crisp white tuxedo shirt that popped beautifully in contrast to the black dress shirts worn with the groomsmen attire. All the men—groom, groomsmen, ushers, and both fathers—were outfitted in sharp looks from SuitShop.

On the bridesmaids’ side, the fashion was equally striking. Each wore a floor-length black gown with matching neck scarf, a delicate ribbon of fabric.

A Ceremony That Felt Like a Dream

The outdoor ceremony was nothing short of ethereal. Guests were seated on clear chairs that almost disappeared into the landscape, making it feel as if everyone was floating amidst the garden. Calla lilies—simple, sleek, and beautiful—adorned the ceremony space with just the right amount of floral flourish.

A Love Story Born in the DMs

Now, you might be wondering: how did a Nebraska bride and a Texas groom even meet? As the bride tells it:

“One of my good friends lives in Texas, and she kept telling me about one of her husband's friends, who she thought would be a perfect match for me. Eventually, he slid into my DMs with a message that said, ‘I know you're a photographer, so who would take our wedding photos? Would you just use a tripod or something?’ And now… we're married! So consider that your sign to shoot your shot, because you never know how it might work out.”

It’s a modern love story with a classic ending—and a reminder that sometimes the best things start with a clever message.

Let the Party Begin

As the bridal party and groomsmen made their entrance into the reception, it was clear: this was going to be a celebration.

Inside the reception, the groom waltzed in wearing his own cowboy hat, setting the stage for a Texas-sized party. And, the bride changed into cowboy boots and a cowboy hat for their golden hour portraits. Guests were treated to a live saxophone player who took the DJ set to the next level, a sparkler installation on the dance floor, and a “Just Married” cake adorned with trending bow details—the perfect mix of whimsy and chic.

Final Thoughts

This wedding was intentional, stylish, and full of personality—a reflection of two people who found each other against the odds and built a celebration that honored both their journeys.

Whether you’re planning your own wedding or you are simply a fan of love stories with a twist, let this be your inspiration: shoot your shot, wear the boots, float down the aisle, and dance under the stars with sparklers in hand.

Because when love looks like this, you want every moment to shine.

Western style meets classic wedding in adaptable, timeless black tuxedos. Trending details like black dress shirts, grounding elements like a castle backdrop, and statement extras like cowboy hats bring this wedding aesthetic to life.
