Hollow Hill Event Center Wedding in Weatherford, Texas

Miranda and Malik’s wedding at Hollow Hill Event Center in Weatherford, Texas was a perfect reminder that the heart of a wedding day isn’t the plan — it’s the people and the commitment they’re there to celebrate.

When the weather shifted their ceremony indoors, the two of them took it completely in stride. What mattered most was getting married surrounded by the 80–100 people who mean the most to them, and their joy never wavered for a second.

From portraits beneath the historic Angel Tree, believed to date back to the 1700s, to dramatic moments inside Hollow Hill’s Western saloon-style rooms, the day was filled with variety, character, and meaningful moments. And once the reception began, the celebration quickly turned into a full dance floor and a night that felt more like a party than a formal event.

Miranda and Malik’s wedding was joyful, grounded, and a beautiful reflection of what really matters at the end of the day.

Our Favorite 5 Places for Engagement Photos in Fort Worth, Texas

When people think of breathtaking scenery, Fort Worth—and most of North Texas, for that matter—probably doesn’t come to mind first. After all, if you spend enough time navigating I-35’s perpetual traffic and dodging construction cones, you might start to wonder if the only landscape this city offers is a sea of brake lights and detour signs.

But beyond the orange barrels and overpasses, Fort Worth is packed with stunning locations that make for incredible photo backdrops. From hidden green spaces and historic architecture to skyline views that shine at sunset, the city is full of unexpected beauty.

Lauren & Dylan: A Beautiful Beach Wedding at Angler’s

If you ever find yourself searching for wedding venues in Fort Walton Beach, Florida, you might be tempted to pass over a result named “Angler’s Beachside Grill.” Sounds more like a casual dining joint than a business that could facilitate a full wedding, right?

That’s exactly what Dani and I thought when we headed to my niece’s wedding at that exact location. And it turned out to be far more stunning than we anticipated.

Moments and Miles: A Look Back at Summer 2024

Back in May, we kicked off the season with a post titled "Summer 2024: Moments, Not Miles." 

The mission? Shift gears and focus less on cycling and more on building the wedding and engagement side of Red Family Photo. While I’ve had fun using photography to justify traveling all over Texas and Arkansas following mountain bike race series, it’s time for RFP to become something that can one day support our family. Well, spoiler alert: we definitely made some strides in that direction!
