For Georgia and Thomas, planning their wedding was more than an event, it was a reflection of who they are: joyful, family-focused, and unafraid to do things their own way. They chose a unique setting that offered a lush backdrop, warm fall light, and a touch of whimsy: The Fort Worth Zoo.
Family was at the heart of it all. Georgia’s wedding band belonged to her great-grandmother, her garter had been worn by generations of women in her family, her sister’s wedding shoes made a second appearance, and her late grandparents were lovingly honored with a wedding photo on display. Even the family dog made a cameo during the morning portraits at home, because everyone had a part to play in this day.
One of the bride’s most hoped-for moments came true during portraits arranged with the giraffes. As the sun dipped behind the trees, Georgia and Thomas shared a moment feeding the gentle giants: an experience both surreal and unforgettable.
The guest list was intentionally curated, filled only with people who had played meaningful roles in the couple’s journey. The result was a celebration that felt deeply personal, full of warmth and connection. Their nephew made an adorable entrance as the flower boy, and Georgia shared a sweet, reflective father-daughter dance to Georgia on My Mind, capturing a moment of stillness amid the joy.
At the reception, energy filled the air from the first dance to the last. Georgia’s timeless gown, elegant and Audrey Hepburn-inspired, moved effortlessly through the evening as she and Thomas soaked in every laugh, hug, and spin on the dance floor. Set against the most unexpected backdrop, Georgia and Thomas’s wedding was a blend of beauty, sentiment, and originality. A love story celebrated with giraffes, golden light, and a whole lot of heart.
