French riviera inspired microwedding in dallas | Carmela + Matt

The Big Fake Wedding Team brings talented local vendors together in cities all around America to inspire and connect engaged couples who are wedding planning. This is a unique wedding show experience, as they stage a real couple’s vow renewal, so each of the attendees can see the vendors in action.

The vendors had a simple challenge: “Let your mind run away to a warm afternoon in Cassis, France. This bride and groom are taking their nuptials to a century-old chateau surrounded by pebbly beaches and limestone cliffs. With panoramic sea views, you can’t help but be filled with peace and serenity. Draw inspiration from the pastel-colored buildings, sidewalk cafes, and local white wine vineyards.”

Fall Wedding Day

This day turned out to be a blast. We enjoyed a beautiful, sunny and 75 degree October wedding day. I arrived at 10 AM to set up a vendor table that included a few sample wedding albums and photos. After that, I jumped into photographing Carmela and Matt. On this day, they renewed their vows for their 5-year anniversary.

Despite losing my voice a few hours into the event, I had a ball connecting with talented Dallas-Fort Worth wedding vendors and meeting so many newly engaged couples. The final result of each vendor’s work was jaw-dropping, and it was a lot of fun seeing their businesses in action.
