Cristina and Moatez’s Fall Wedding at Tuscan Courtyard
I had the pleasure of photographing Cristina and Moatez’s wedding at the beautiful Tuscan Courtyard in Dickinson. It was a perfect Fall day for celebrating this incredible couple and their unique love story.
Cristina and Moatez’s wedding was a remarkable blending of cultures, with Cristina’s Mexican Christian heritage and Moatez’s Lebanese Muslim roots both honored throughout the day. It was an event filled not only with love but with rich traditions and, of course, a bit of Texas flair.
This wonderful couple met at work and knew from the start they had found something special. After dating for just four months, they realized they didn’t want to wait to start their lives together. Their deep belief in God’s timing gave them the confidence to take this big step, and watching them on their wedding day, it was clear to me that their love is the real thing. As a photographer who married her own husband after 11 years together, I deeply admire their faith and conviction in following their hearts.
The ceremony was held in the scenic courtyard of Tuscan Courtyard, surrounded by friends and family under the warm autumn sun. Their reception was equally memorable, beginning with an energetic introduction featuring traditional Lebanese drummers, setting the tone for a lively night. During the reception, both Cristina and Moatez took a moment to honor their mothers in an incredibly heartfelt way, which brought many guests to tears and made the celebration feel all the more special.
Their closest friends gave heartfelt toasts, sharing stories that highlighted the love and joy this couple brings to everyone around them. Once the party officially began, Cristina and Moatez brought in a lively Mexican tradition—the serpentine snake dance—to get everyone onto the dance floor. It was the perfect way to kick off the festivities!
Though I hadn’t met Cristina and Moatez until their wedding day, it was instantly clear how warm and kind they are. I couldn’t have been happier to capture such a beautiful celebration for two wonderful people who so genuinely love one another. Wishing Cristina and Moatez all the best as they start this new chapter together!
