There’s something special about engagement sessions at Hotel Drover, and Elise and Parker’s was no exception! Set against the character and charm of the Fort Worth Stockyards, their session struck the perfect balance of relaxed, timeless, and full of genuine connection.
We wandered the brick streets, paused under string lights, and chased the last bit of golden hour – and they brought so much personality and warmth to every part of it. Hotel Drover’s mix of modern Western style and rich textures gave us a setting that felt both iconic and personal.
This shoot felt like a preview of everything their wedding day will hold – joy, connection, and a whole lot of fun!
