Wedding Date: June 14th 2025

Amber and Tucker’s day at Panola Valley Gardens held the kind of magic that made you feel like you were stepping into a secret garden.

The gardens were in full bloom, lush, wild, and green with all the charm of a summer day you don’t want to end. Everything about this wedding felt loving and warm, starting with the ceremony under a beautiful open pergola that let in all the surrounding nature. No doors, no walls, just a gentle breeze, birdsong, and two people promising forever surrounded by the people who love them most.

They chose not to do a first look, which made the moment Tucker saw Amber for the first time, walking down the aisle in the softest summer light, even more powerful. You could feel it ripple through the crowd. The ceremony itself was heartfelt and meaningful, made even more special by a symbolic tree planting, such a beautiful way to mark the beginning of something meant to grow.

As they made their way back up the aisle, Amber and Tucker didn’t rush off. They stayed and embraced every guest, one by one. After the ceremony, we wandered the grounds together, stopping by the quiet lakes, under arches of greenery, and eventually climbing to the rocky cliffs where the view stretched for miles. Then, because this was a day with heart and personality, we all detoured to a nearby small-town pub with the wedding party. It added just the right bit of fun and lightness in the middle of a deeply meaningful day.

Their reception took place under the stars in a tent and it was nothing short of dreamy. Dinner, toasts, laughter, and then, a quiet stroll after dark. Just the two of them soaking it all in. It was peaceful and perfect.

Amber and Tucker, your wedding was timeless and it was an honor to be the one behind the lens for it all.
