Set in the heart of a working equestrian property just south of Fort Worth, this venue blends rural charm with beautifully designed indoor and outdoor spaces.

Versatile enough for ceremonies, receptions, dinner, and dancing, it's an elegant, year-round option for couples who want breathtaking scenery without worrying about the weather. Getting-ready spaces feel like retreats of their own, with a renovated 1950s farmhouse bridal suite overlooking the water and stylish casitas for the groom's party, complete with ADA-accessible guest restrooms.

Absolutely loved this place and 100% glad we had our wedding here. The grounds hands down; peaceful, quiet, breath taking. As a bride the long walk to the outdoor alter makes your pictures and videos that much better! The bar company they provide were very nice and quick. The general manager Montana who we dealt with 90% of the time was beyond amazing and made our wedding experience with the venue seamless! She was so patient (we took many months to decide and she never kept bugging us!), extremely helpful, very quick to respond, and helped us so much with random things. Our only negative we would say or headache for us was just the long drive, but that's tolerable. :)

We have only positive things to say about the Pines of Alvarado. There was ample parking. With the gazebo, two pergolas and multiple blooming plants, the approach to the building was very attractive. It was 99 degrees when we arrived at the venue, but the room was cool and comfortable. The catering kitchen worked well (our caterer loved it) and included a freezer, which was really nice since we served ice cream for our groom's treat. The kitchen also worked very well as our bar, with a convenient place to put a large frozen margarita machine. We loved having the ability to provide our own alcohol and appreciated the Pines providing the (required) security officers. We did put one row of pipe and drape up so bar goers didn't see the catering work going on behind the drape. The room was large enough to seat 130 guests for a dinner buffet - with adequate space to move about. There was also room for multiple "specialty" tables and a dance floor. There are giant barn doors that were perfect for entrance of the wedding party, as well as for the sparkler send off. A large window at the far end of the building let in ample natural lighting. The building was spotless every time we were there and they had ample tables, chairs, and cloths to meet our needs. The building is rustic in design, but became really pretty with minimal decorations - especially once the strings lights were turned on. Kylie was great to work with. She was flexible, responsive and attentive. Her knowledge and suggestions (when solicited) were invaluable. We are so glad we found the Pines of Alvarado. It was definitely worth the short drive from the metroplex.

I'm Michael Anthony, a wedding photographer based in Dallas–Fort Worth, with a second studio in Los Angeles. I shoot across DFW — Dallas, Fort Worth, McKinney, Frisco, Prosper, Plano — and travel for couples marrying farther afield. Nine countries and 1,000+ weddings so far. My approach is editorial and unobtrusive. I document the day rather than direct it, because I want your images to make you feel the moment again, not simply see it. I take a limited number of weddings each year so each one gets real attention. Tell me your date and venue and I'll confirm availability right away.

Awarded Best of Zola
Michael, Jen, Courtney and the whole team was an absolute joy to work with from the start! I’ve had the pleasure to have our engagement shoot by Michael and Jen, my wife had her boudoir shoot by Jen, and our incredible wedding shoot by Michael and Brian; each experience was smooth, simple to follow and so much fun! Courtney was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process emails, texts and walking us through our picture reveals! My wife and I have never had our pictures professionally taken and didn’t know what to expect, to say we were blown away is an understatement! We felt so comfortable throughout the whole process, looked beautiful in each shot, but what I loved the most was how perfectly Michael captured our playfulness in the most beautiful way. Everyone seeing our pictures could experience our love story just jump off the page. Truly magical

Fast forward six years and over 100 weddings—I’m in love!! With my couples and with running around the world chasing epic moments and beautiful sunsets. With you and for you <3 With an editorial background from the likes of Vogue, I also incorporate romantic poses that truly make each couple shine.

We knew Julia Styles Photography was the right choice after our engagement session turned out incredible, and our wedding day confirmed it. Julia communicated with us every step of the way and guided us through the entire process so we felt confident and ready. On the day of our wedding, she was so kind and captured beautiful moments that we'll treasure forever. Her work is stunning and the pricing is so affordable, which honestly shocked us given the quality. We're already planning to use Julia for any photography needs we have going forward. Highly recommend her to any couple looking for a photographer who truly cares about their day.

You are adventurous, unique, & real in every way Your wedding photos should be too. I work with fun couples who are madly in love, each unique in their own way. I don't work with models... Which means, almost every couple I photograph is not experienced in front of the camera! I understand that "posing" doesn't feel natural for a majority of people, which is why I create an environment that prompts fun movements, natural laughter, and draws out your vulnerable emotions.

Lexi really cared about what we wanted and stuck with it, making us feel comfortable and at ease throughout the entire process.

With award-winning shooters plus features like 10 hours of coverage, a guaranteed 2-4 week turnaround time on all videos and a Hi-Resolution Flash Drive with full release coming standard with every package, Epic can help you get the most out of your wedding photos + films.

We cannot say enough amazing things about Epic Photos! They were absolutely the best choice we could have made for our wedding day. From start to finish, they made everything feel so stress-free and easy, and somehow managed to keep me calm, happy, and easygoing throughout the entire day! One of the things we loved most about Epic Photos is that they have multiple locations. Since we were getting married in St. Louis but living in Colorado, we were still able to have our engagement photos taken by the same company in Colorado. It was so special to have that consistency and experience with them leading up to our wedding day. Our wedding day was a HOT summer day in St. Louis, with plenty of humidity, but our photographer was willing to do absolutely anything to make sure we got the photos we wanted. Even when we went outside in the humid heat and the camera lenses were literally fogging up, he never complained and was completely willing to roll with it to get the shots we envisioned. That level of dedication meant so much to us! We have very large families, and he took on all of the family photos like an absolute champ. He was patient, organized, and somehow managed to keep everything moving smoothly. He also captured all of the moments of our day so perfectly, including the little candid moments we didn’t even realize were happening. Looking through our photos feels like we get to relive our entire wedding day all over again, and that is something we will cherish forever. He also did an amazing job keeping me happy, calm, and easygoing throughout the entire day. Wedding days can be stressful, but having someone there who was so confident, flexible, and willing to do whatever it took made such a huge difference. My brother and his wife used Epic Photos for their wedding, and after seeing their experience, we knew we wanted to use them for ours. We are SO glad we did! From our engagement photos in Colorado to our wedding day in St. Louis, they exceeded our expectations every step of the way. We would recommend Epic Photos to absolutely anyone looking for a wedding photographer. They are incredibly talented, professional, flexible, and genuinely care about making your day special. They gave us photos that we will treasure for the rest of our lives and memories that we can relive over and over again. We are so grateful they were such an important part of our wedding day!

I absolutely would get married here again if I got to plan my wedding all over again. The team was amazing and always so helpful. Throughout the planning process if I needed pictures/ information regarding the venue Shelby was a text message away and she always replied promptly! As for the our Day of Event Coordinator Addie was absolutely amazing. She was on top of it meeting with my husband and myself before our big day! The day of was amazing we didn't stress about a single thing everything flowed smoothly, Addie was on top of it giving me updates, she helped steam out my dress, and adapted to quick changes the day of. Addie was phenomenal we don't think our wedding would've been the same without her!! We were so happy with how everything turned out and most of all with the springs team. The two wonderful young ladies that stayed till the end I believe one was named Sam and I can't remember the other lady's name they were both so wet and helpful!

If you’re on the fence about hiring a DJ, look no further. Jeff was fantastic to work with. In all honesty, he tied the whole wedding together. He kept us on point, kept us updated with our day of schedule. And most importantly… the dance floor was PACKED. His energy was perfect for the occasion; not cheesy, not over the top, not lacking in energy; just spot on. He knew what to say, when to say it, and how to say it. Not only was the music on point, but so were all the little details my wife and I didn’t even think about. We asked for a mix of country to two step to, party songs, and some wedding classics. It was like having a family member be our DJ. He made our night so special. Thank you for the help, suggestions, planning tools, etc. Thank you Jeff. You made our wedding unforgettable. We have received nothing but praise from our 200 guests. You’re the man! Thank you

Now, my husband and I don’t know how to pose or take photos like at all. Lauren though? She is so good at directing you but making it feel natural. The photos were gorgeous. Her angles and her ideas are just top notch and really come out so beautiful. There wasn’t one awkward moment, it was just laughs and fun the whole time. 100% would recommend Lauren!

We had the pleasure of working with Jacilyn for almost a year and a half on our wedding. When it finally came to the big day, everything came out perfectly. She was detailed through every step and helped organize things where it was easy for us to know what the next steps were. She was also so communicative with us when we texted her or scheduling calls when we needed to speak about something. My husband is a pilot so his schedule would make things difficult at times but she was always accommodating. On the wedding day, she was there every step of the way helping us decorate, keeping everything on schedule, and helping making sure we were given moments alone to ourselves to enjoy it as well. Her taste was impeccable with all the vendors she recommended and how she helped us set up our vision for decorations. We could not recommend anyone better than her as your planner as there is no one else who could be better. Nothing But Love absolutely describes how she handles every part of her business and made us feel that way as well.

Magdiel and his wife are professionals at what they do and they love what they do. Magdiel did our photography at a windy train station with not much going on and he made it work! He did a lot with very little and we were super happy with the results. He was very good to us for the whole session. When it came to the wedding, Magdiel and his wife were prepared with multiple cameras and lighting options. The staged photos after the ceremony were perfect, showcasing their skills to the fullest! We have shots of almost every guest during the reception, they did a great job getting everyone! The ceremony photos were quick and seamless while still maintaining the best quality. Thank you guys so much for your hard work!

  • Serves Alvarado, TX

We’re Will & Christina MacMeeken, the married team behind The MacMeekens Photography. Based in Dallas/Fort Worth and photographing weddings wherever our couples take us, we create bold, honest, documentary photographs of weddings as they actually felt. We’re drawn to the belly laughs, happy tears, packed dance floors, quiet glances, and beautifully unplanned moments. Come exactly as you are. We’ll bring two photographers, over a decade of experience, and everything we’ve got to tell the heck out of your story.

If you are looking for a true professional who cares about you as a couple, the overall process of the services you hired them for, and someone who delivers a top-notch, perfect end product, then look no further! From the moment I met Christina and Will, they stood out among the crowd. In this industry, it's harder than you think to find vendors that are in it for the long haul and not just interested in a quick buck. They care...that's it. They care about you, they care about the process, and they care about making sure you get more than you ever thought you needed. When you hire The MacMeekans, you are not just hiring a photographer to shoot your wedding...you are hiring someone to take care of you, and let every last ounce of love you share that day, shine through in its truest form. Hire them today. You will NOT be disappointed!

Hi, I'm Kim Overholt and I've had passion for baking (and sugar) from a young age. I started Love + Sugar in 2014 and have loved every second of it. I love amazing feeling that comes when someone exclaims after eating my dessert that it is the "best tasting cake (or cookie) ever!" I invite you to try out our desserts for yourself. Whether that be for a special event or a night on the couch.

Miss Kim made the perfect cake for my best friend's birthday! She was extremely professional with prompt communication, easy to follow directions for transportation, and sweetest attention to detail. Not to mention the cake was delicious! You should give her a try!

Everyone loved DJ Paul at my daughter’s wedding! He struck the perfect balance between fun, exciting, & still classy. The sound quality was terrific in a challenging indoor/outdoor space.
