Our Labor of Love Photography got in contact with us after shooting Meriwether and Will's wedding. They thought that you guys might get a kick out of a tattooed groom, a rocking band, and the little offbeat details of this Fort Worth, Texas wedding.
This amazing property is Greenwood Farm and the bride's mom has lived and operated a horse farm on this property for over twenty-five years! So she was thrilled when Will agreed to marry on the property.
They also hired a vaudeville/Romani-inspired/rock band from Austin, Tx called Wino Vino — violins, horns, accordions, the whole nine yards. Meriwether explains,
“Right up until the middle of the wedding I would have panic attacks that this would be waaaaay too much for our Deep South/Texas family members. Turns out, they were absolutely amazing. Our non-traditional wedding songs were so memorable and, by the end of the evening, they had everyone on the dance floor doing this crazy whirling-dervish circle dance. It was frantic and so unbelievably fun. They also looked so cool.”
Here's what that crazy whirling-dervish circle dance looked like!
Run over to Our Labor of Love's blog and eat up some more of this wedding.
