Diana & Bryan’s Wedding at The Venue at Leaning Oak Ranch

There’s something extra special about getting to photograph a beautiful wedding right here at home.

Diana and Bryan were married at The Venue at Leaning Oak Ranch in Centerville, Texas, and this one was especially fun for me because the venue is only about three minutes from my house.

I spend so much of my wedding season traveling across Texas, so getting to photograph a gorgeous celebration this close to home felt like such a treat.

That Black Chapel

One of the things that makes Leaning Oak Ranch stand out is its beautiful black chapel.

It has such a striking, timeless look and photographs beautifully against the surrounding Texas landscape. It gives the venue so much personality without taking attention away from the couple, which is exactly what I love in a wedding backdrop.

Diana and Bryan’s day felt warm, relaxed, and full of those little moments that make every wedding different.

A Wedding Close to Home

Photographing weddings in Centerville always means a little more to me.

This is home, and I love getting to show couples that you don’t have to travel to Houston or Dallas to find a beautiful wedding venue. There are some incredible places tucked right here in Central and East Texas.

And Leaning Oak Ranch is absolutely one of them.

Getting to photograph Diana and Bryan surrounded by the people they love, at a venue practically in my backyard, made this day one I’ll always remember.
