Authentic Wedding at The Chapel at Palacios in the Heart of Westlake, Texas

Wedding

This wedding was one of those days I’ll always remember; the kind that felt deeply personal, wildly joyful, and full of heart at every turn. From the emotional chapel wedding ceremony surrounded by family to a private first look that had everyone (yes, including me) tearing up. Daniel and Z’s day was completely rooted in their love story. Every detail spoke to who they are as individuals and as a couple — intentional and deeply connected to their cultures and faith.

A wedding day that felt fully and truly theirs

What stood out most about Daniel and Z was how confidently and wholeheartedly they embraced who they are. Their wedding wasn’t just beautiful, it was a true reflection of them. They included the sweetest incorporations of their faith with an intimate communion and prayer during ceremony. That and the way they seamlessly wove together their Hispanic and Asian heritage was hands-down one of my favorite parts. They had a fortune cookie seating chart made from scratch and a dinner spread featuring both fajitas and a ramen noodle bar, plus more! Every element reflected their shared story and the families that shaped them. This chapel wedding was such a beautiful celebration of legacy, love, and laughter.

An elegant chapel celebration with soul

Held at The Chapel at Palacios, the ceremony was nothing short of timeless. Soft florals and touches of blue lined the aisle, adding just the right amount of elegance to the moment Z walked in. When the party began, there were so many moments where their personalities shined though unapologetically. From emotional toasts to a dance floor packed with the people they love, the energy stayed high and joyful all night long!

A note from the bride

Kind words like these mean the world to me:

“Macey is the absolute best!! If you are debating booking with her, this is your sign to go for it. She is incredible and she went above and beyond for my husband and I’s wedding and engagement photos. She made us feel so comfortable and she offers such great communication. Not only did we love her but so did all of our bridal party and guests. She is an incredible photographer and we are absolutely in love with all of our photos. I cannot recommend her enough!!!”

Thank you, Z — so much love for you both!
