Abby & Garrett’s Marie Gabrielle Wedding | Dallas Wedding Photography

This Marie Gabrielle wedding was truly one for the books. It was the loveliest of garden weddings for Abby & Garrett in Dallas this spring at Marie Gabrielle! You might remember this sweet couple from their Highland Park engagement session at Lakeside Park & Prather Park. From the moment I arrived on a sun-kissed spring morning, the day felt like a dream that had been carefully and joyfully unfolding for months. Abby and Garrett’s love story first began under Dallas skies, and their wedding day at Marie Gabrielle Restaurant and Gardens was the perfect reflection of who they are as a couple: intentional, elegant, joyful, and deeply rooted in family and faith.

Their celebration began in the sanctuary of St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church, a beloved Dallas landmark where timeless architecture and soft natural light created the most heartfelt backdrop for the couple’s vows. There was a quiet stillness in the air as Abby walked down the aisle, every moment echoing with the promises they were making to one another. The church ceremony was both reverent and filled with the kind of tender joy that makes you believe in love all over again.

Once the ceremony concluded, guests were welcomed into the enchanting garden at Marie Gabrielle while the bridal party took photos in Turtle Creek’s Reverchon Park. Nestled in downtown Dallas, this venue is a hidden gem with lush greenery, winding pathways, and classic European-inspired charm that feels both timeless and intimate. It was the perfect setting for a spring celebration like theirs.

The reception space was a masterpiece of thoughtful design. Soft pastel florals by Root & Bloom seemed to float atop tables dressed in elegant linens, reflecting the quiet romance of the day. Each detail – from the delicate floral arrangements to the curated place settings – felt intentional and perfectly suited to Abby and Garrett’s aesthetic.

Social Graces ensured that every transition throughout the day was seamless. Their coordination allowed moments to unfold naturally – from heartfelt family portraits in the garden to the laughter shared during the reception toast. Being able to capture not just the big moments, but also the quiet ones – the exchanged glances, the spontaneous laughter, the joyful tears – is what makes days like this so unforgettable as a photographer.

As a Dallas wedding photographer, days like this remind me why I do what I do: beautiful weather, gorgeous light, and an even more beautiful couple surrounded by the people they love most. Every time I look back through Abby and Garrett’s images, I’m drawn to the authenticity of their celebration and the heartfelt details that made this day uniquely theirs.

What makes this celebration even more exciting is that it was published on Style Me Pretty, a wedding resource I have long admired and am so grateful to be featured on. Being able to share Abby and Garrett’s story with a wider audience – and inspire other couples as they plan their own wedding days – is such an honor.
