From Chapel Tears to Pop-Punk Cheers: A Spinelli’s Wedding Day

You know those weddings that are just so perfectly matched to the couple that you can't imagine it any other way? That was exactly the case at this Comfort, Texas wedding at the beautiful Spinelli’s Wedding Venue. Their wedding party lineup broke tradition in the best way: 11 groomsmen, 4 bridesmaids, and zero concern for what’s ‘typical.’

From the unconventional wedding party setup to an emotional surprise during the ceremony, every moment felt like a reflection of who they are.

Spinelli’s is a gem of a venue tucked in the Texas Hill Country. It’s got that charming, rustic-meets-elegant vibe with multiple buildings spread across the property: a gorgeous reception hall, a guest house available for rent, dedicated getting ready spaces for both the bride and groom, and the true showstopper—a historic chapel that looks like it was pulled straight out of a movie set. And that’s where the real magic happened.

The ceremony started like most others. Vows were exchanged, rings were slipped on fingers, and just as the officiant was about to make it official, the groom held up his hand and said, “Hang on one more second.” He turned to the bride’s 4-year-old daughter, dropped to one knee, and pulled out a second ring and a special vow just for her.

Let’s just say more than one guest was a puddle of tears. (Honestly, Jordan was the biggest puddle of them all.)

After all that emotion, the reception offered the perfect reset. While the structure of the evening followed the typical flow—dinner, toasts, and dances—things took a turn once the DJ caught wind of the crowd’s music taste. The second he started dropping 2000s emo anthems, the dance floor exploded. We're talking full-on singalongs to “Dear Maria, Count Me In,” “Sugar, We’re Goin Down,” and all the other angsty bangers that defined a generation. It felt less like a wedding reception and more like a live reunion tour... and we were here for it.

It’s always fun to photograph a wedding that blends sweet moments and total chaos in equal measure. This one had both in spades—and it was perfect.
