Charles & Abby's Vibrant Wedding at Brik Venue

A Heartfelt Wedding at Brik Venue in Fort Worth, Texas

Cinematic Wedding by Dallas-Fort Worth Documentary Wedding Photographers

A Love Story Built on Laughter, Music, and a Whole Lot of Heart

From day one of meeting Abby & Charles, we knew their wedding would be a celebration that felt exactly like them—laid back, joy-filled, and surrounded by people who truly love them. These two balance each other perfectly: Abby is the outgoing, talk-to-anyone type, while Charles is the calm, grounded presence who lets her shine (and occasionally breaks into a Greatest Showman duet). Together, they’re a perfect pair—an easy blend of humor, heart, and connection.

They met us with open hearts from the very first call, saying how important it was to feel comfortable with whoever would be documenting their day. That trust shaped everything about how we photographed their story—leaning fully into a documentary approach that let them relax and simply live out the moments as they happened.

Getting Ready in the Heart of Fort Worth

While Abby and her crew prepped at Brik Venue, Charles started his day with a classic Fort Worth move—walking down Magnolia Avenue to brunch at The Bearded Lady with his guys. It was the perfect, low-key start before the whirlwind ahead.

Back at the venue, the industrial white-brick walls and warm wood beams were transformed with lush greenery and elegant floral touches, striking that perfect balance of refined and relaxed. Abby’s family buzzed with excitement, and there was this underlying theme of “let’s just be together.” No stress, no fuss—just presence.

The Ceremony: A Perfect Fit

Abby said from the beginning that Brik felt like their spot. And standing there on their wedding day, it was obvious why. The space glowed with natural light and felt intimate despite the crowd. There were laughs, a few happy tears, and that unmistakable “we’re really doing this” kind of energy.

The ceremony flowed with sincerity—equal parts sacred and silly in all the right ways. It was one of those moments where you could feel their story unfolding, surrounded by everyone who had been part of it from the beginning.

The Reception: Family, Fun, and an Unforgettable Stage Moment

When Abby & Charles said the part they were most looking forward to was dancing with their family and friends, they weren’t kidding. From the moment the Royal Dukes Band kicked off the first set, the dance floor never stood still.

And then came the surprise twist—their own family’s band jumped on stage during the Royal Dukes’ second break and absolutely crushed it. Watching Abby and Charles sing and dance with their loved ones performing live was one of those moments that perfectly captures why we love documentary wedding photography: it’s unfiltered, real, and completely one-of-a-kind.

Late-night jambalaya snacks fueled the party into the night, and when it came time for their final exit, Abby & Charles were the first ones on the shuttle, ready to keep the celebration going at Studio 80 in downtown Fort Worth. Because of course, they weren’t done dancing yet.

Why We Loved This Day

Abby & Charles are the kind of couple that remind us why we do what we do. They trusted us completely to document their story as it unfolded—no posing marathons, no forced moments, just genuine connection. Their Brik Venue wedding was filled with music, laughter, and all the beautiful chaos that comes from two people celebrating exactly as they are.

For us, it was an honor to capture their story in a way that felt authentically them.
