As a Canyonwood Ridge wedding photographer (and one of the venue’s preferred vendors, also recommended by their in-house planning team, Blue Events), I absolutely love documenting weddings at this stunning Dripping Springs venue. Katie and Jett’s celebration was everything couples dream of: joyful, faith-filled, and full of vibrant summer details. If you’re searching for inspiration or considering Canyonwood Ridge for your wedding day, their story will give you a beautiful look inside this Texas Hill Country wedding venue gem.

Getting Ready at Canyonwood Ridge Summer Wedding

The bridal suite at Canyonwood Ridge was buzzing with excitement when I arrived. Taylor Swift was blasting, the energy was high, and Katie’s bridesmaids were twinning in matching pink-and-black polka dot pajamas with heart-shaped sunglasses that read “I Do Crew.” It was the ultimate hype squad moment before slipping into elegant pink bridesmaid dresses.

Katie, with her stunning curly hair, radiated joy the entire day. Jett matched her energy with his own curls and big smile! You could feel how much fun these two have together.

A Rainy Day Wedding with the Perfect Backup Plan of Canyonwood Ridge Indoor Chapel

Their wedding weekend coincided with the Texas Floods, but Canyonwood Ridge’s indoor chapel was the ultimate blessing. Not only does the chapel provide relief from Texas July heat, but it’s also a dream ceremony space for rainy days. With tall windows and natural light, Katie and Jett still had a bright and airy setting for their vows.  Even better? Jett’s dad officiated the ceremony, making it deeply personal and unforgettable.  The Maid of Honor and Best Man also performed the job of flower girl, tossing petals as they walked down the aisle.

Vibrant Summer Florals & Confetti Moments Captured by Dripping Springs Wedding Photographer

The floral design leaned into vibrant pinks, perfect for a summer wedding vibe. Against the neutral backdrop of Canyonwood Ridge, the colors popped in every photo. Their wedding party went all out with a confetti cannon during portraits, which made for some of the most joyful, celebratory shots.

Dancing the Night Away with Exodus Sound Company

Katie and Jett’s reception was a true party. Their DJ not only kept the dance floor packed but also sang live during the afternoon, which gave the evening a personal concert feel. And of course, Katie and Jett snuck in plenty of twirls and lifts on the dance floor, just like they did back when they first started dating.

A Love Story That Started at Texas A&M

Katie and Jett’s story began at Texas A&M, where fate brought them together. Jett’s roommate was none other than Katie’s brother! From there, their love grew with country dancing, twirls, and Jett’s signature move: picking Katie up mid-dance. Their relationship is rooted in faith and joy, and their wedding day reflected both beautifully.
