This review has been put off for far too long. Truly. But it's hard to write at the same time, and I love to write. It's hard because no matter what I say it won't do The MacMeekens justice.
It won't convey how months later, looking at our photos again, we still cry. It won't make you understand how much their love meant to us, how when Christina told us they were going to be our biggest cheerleaders they weren't just trying to sell us a photo package. This review won't make you understand how much it meant to us that they spent time learning Spanish so that they could talk to my husband, and it won't help you feel the joy we did the first time we heard one of them say, "DALE PUES!" More than anything, this review will inadequately demonstrate the value of true and honest allyship.
Will and Christina are a phenomenal team. They make promises that they keep. Being with them, whether it's on zoom, at dinner, or in the middle of a shoot, is a joy. It's impossible to talk to them and not smile. To not be happy. Somehow, they have learned to make the awkward moments fun, and they are experts at catching the fun moments.
I'd do it all over again if I knew I'd be working with them. They are people we feel so lucky to have in our lives, not just as our photographers, but our friends."
They were out biggest cheerleaders and they make promises that they keep."

We couldn’t have asked for better wedding photographers. From the moment we met them, their warmth, kindness, and professionalism put us at ease. As a gay couple, feeling truly accepted and celebrated was incredibly important to us, and they made that effortless.
Their photography style is nothing short of stunning. Their art is elevated and full of emotion. Every shot captures not just moments, but the energy and essence of the day. They traveled with us from Texas to Switzerland, handling everything with grace, enthusiasm, and an incredible eye for detail. Beyond their talent, they were simply a joy to have around. They were fun, easygoing, and genuinely invested in making our wedding experience unforgettable.

Meet Christina MACMEEKEN
Hey! I’m Will — the other half of The MacMeekens, your husband-and-wife wedding photography duo, dedicated to capturing raw, radiant, and real-as-hell love in all its forms.
Originally from the white sands of St. Pete Beach, Florida (so yeah, I’ve always had a thing for golden light and slow, intentional sunsets), I’ve called Dallas-Fort Worth home since 2003. But my heart? It’s wherever your love story unfolds — whether that’s an intimate backyard ceremony in Bishop Arts or a joyful, technicolor celebration at The Modern.
I’m the guy behind the lens capturing the wide-open, cinematic shots, the blink-and-you-miss-it moments, and the in-between glances that make your gallery feel like your own indie film. I’m also the one color grading and obsessing in post — making sure every photo feels honest, immersive, and just as alive as the day itself.
When I’m not photographing or editing LGBTQ+ weddings across DFW, you’ll usually find me mountain biking, geeking out over tabletop RPGs, or exploring new trails with our kids and a cold brew in hand (coffee or beer — I keep it ambiguous).
What sets us apart? Christina and I aren’t here to stage you into someone else’s idea of what a wedding should look like. We’re here to create a space where you can be. Loud, quiet, joyful, sacred, messy, grounded, wild — whatever love looks like for you, we’ll be there to celebrate it and turn it into art.
Planning a wedding that’s unapologetically you? We’d be honored to help tell that story. Let’s make something unforgettable together.
Hi friend! I’m Christina — one half of The MacMeekens, a documentary-style wedding photography duo based in Dallas-Fort Worth and fiercely committed to capturing bold, honest love in all its forms.
Alongside my husband and partner-in-everything, Will, we specialize in photographing wildly personal, deeply felt queer and LGBTQ+ weddings that center your truth, your joy, and your people. Whether you're saying your vows under a canopy of oaks in Oak Cliff, turning a warehouse into a glitter-drenched celebration in Fort Worth, or throwing a color-soaked backyard party that breaks every so-called tradition — we’re here to document it all with heart and intention.
I’m an emotion-chasing sap, a total nerd at heart, and a full-time homeschool mom who believes your wedding day should be a feeling — not a performance. We’re not here to pose perfection. We’re here to create space for your realness: the belly laughs, the messy kisses, the quiet in-between glances that say everything.
We’ll help you with the timeline, the flow, and the story — you just show up and be fully you. Because one day, we want you to look back and say, “Damn. We really lived that.”
If you’re planning a Dallas-Fort Worth wedding that’s anything but ordinary — and want photographers who’ll celebrate your love, honor your voice, and photograph your story with care and zero assumptions — we’re so ready to meet you.

Have you heard our podcast yet?
do you shoot destination weddings?
How far in advance should we book you?
What the faq
Heck. Freaking. Yes. We are based out of DFW and Houston but will go wherever your story is taking place- whether that be on top of a snow-covered mountain, on a white sandy beach or in a historic European village. The world is our canvas and you are the paint.
Most couples start calling us their wedding besties about 12-16 months before their big day. We do only take a limited number of weddings per year so availability fills up quickly.
IT IS ALWAYS CHRISTINA AND WILL?
WHAT DOES YOUR CREATIVE PROCESS LOOK LIKE?
Heck yes, it's always us! We shoot every wedding together (whether we like it or not ;P) . We value the trust you put into us as your photographers and sure as hell wouldn't want to miss out on a good party. So yes, it's always us. Period.
We strive to allow you to live your wedding day as it unfolds authentically. uninterrupted, and undisturbed by our presence. We let your desires dictate the timeline rather than our timeline dictating your day. We’ve been known to stand on chairs shooting high in the sky, slide on the ground under tables, and shoot through legs, arms and whiskey glasses to create something unique, epic and unexpected while also patiently waiting for magic emotion to happen naturally.
ARE YOU LGBTQIA+ FRIENDLY?
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO RECEIVE OUR GALLERY?
ABSOLUTELY!!! Love is love, boo. And we are here to celebrate your love no matter your gender, orientation, race, religion, or creed!
Portrait sessions are delivered within 2-3 weeks of your session. Wedding galleries are delivered within 10-12 weeks of your wedding day. We know the wait for photos can feel like an eternity but I promise you won’t regret giving us the time to dive in and fully curate your story.
