Perot Museum LGBT Wedding: Stunning And Unparalleled

June 12, 2024

Rebecca and Kristin’s Perot Museum LGBT wedding will go down in history as the boldest & raddest celebration of pride EVER!

I can’t even begin to describe how much love I have for this museum. I’m an avid fan of anything scientific, and I can’t imagine a venue that’s more of a perfect match for Rebecca and Kristin’s vibrant personalities.

These two had such an impeccable sense of style. Kristin had her custom suit and T-Rex suspenders while Rebecca had her ethereal wedding gown and wedding cape! (And given the suspenders, we obviously had to take a photo by the iconic T-Rex skeleton.)

Their wedding was the embodiment of everything I love about pride, and I felt so inspired watching them say I do in front of the biggest, sparkliest geode in the Gem And Minerals Hall.

Please can we make museum weddings more of a thing?!?

Couples like Rebecca and Kristin are the type of people I want to pour my heart into creating for for the rest of my life.

Y’all make me proud to not only be an ally, but also proud to be myself!

Thank you to the Perot Museum for having us and for all the other incredible vendors and new friends who made this dream into a reality.

Are you having a Perot Museum LGBT wedding? Or a wedding at a venue that defines you and your partner? I’d love to help capture every moment, so feel free to reach out to me here to set up a meeting!
