Ritz-Carlton Las Colinas Wedding (Former Four Seasons Dallas) | Inside Weddings Feature

There are certain venues that hold a long-standing reputation for elevated Dallas weddings, and The Ritz-Carlton Dallas, Las Colinas — formerly the Four Seasons Resort Dallas — is one of them. With expansive golf course views, timeless architecture, and a resort-style setting, it has remained a destination for refined celebrations for decades.

This elegant outdoor wedding, later featured in Inside Weddings, brought together Oklahoma legacy and Dallas sophistication in a celebration that felt both grand and deeply personal. Rooted in collegiate tradition and shaped by a life lived between Norman and Dallas, the day reflected a seamless blend of both worlds.

A Tented Ceremony on the Golf Green at The Ritz-Carlton Las Colinas

The ceremony unfolded beneath a custom tent set directly on the sweeping golf green at The Ritz-Carlton Dallas, Las Colinas — formerly the Four Seasons Resort Dallas. Surrounded by expansive fairways and open sky, the setting felt both grand and intimate.

The ceremony space featured sculptural white florals, gold-leaf accents, and a dramatic calla lily chandelier installation suspended overhead. The tented structure transformed the landscape into a refined architectural moment while preserving the softness of the outdoor setting.

With over 15 years photographing Dallas luxury weddings and beyond, I’m continually drawn to venues that offer both scale and intimacy. As light filtered through the tent and across the green, the atmosphere felt luminous and deeply personal — the kind of setting where emotion naturally takes center stage.

Designed by Jordan Payne Events

The celebration was beautifully orchestrated by Jordan Payne Events, whose refined aesthetic and meticulous coordination shaped every detail of the day. From the ceremony design to the ballroom reception, each element felt cohesive and intentional.

Luxury weddings at The Ritz-Carlton Las Colinas require thoughtful execution. The property offers grand spaces, but this wedding maintained a sense of intimacy while embracing the venue’s scale. The reception design honored classic elegance while incorporating modern editorial touches — a balance that ultimately led to its feature in Inside Weddings.

A Wedding Bridging Oklahoma and Dallas

What made this celebration especially meaningful was the Oklahoma legacy woven throughout the day. With strong ties to the University of Oklahoma and a life built between Oklahoma and Texas, the wedding honored both communities effortlessly.

Now based in Norman — just blocks from the University of Oklahoma campus — I photograph weddings throughout Oklahoma and Dallas each year. While much of my 20+ year career was established in Dallas and expanded into destination celebrations across England, the Bahamas, Mexico, Napa Valley, Pebble Beach, Santa Barbara, and Aspen, returning to Oklahoma has allowed me to serve couples whose lives naturally move between these two states.

For many families, Dallas and Norman are deeply connected — through university ties, business, athletics, and generational roots. This wedding reflected that beautifully.

National print recognition speaks to the level of artistry and refinement behind a wedding day — but what matters most is the trust placed in me to document it with discretion and intention. Whether photographing high-profile couples, multi-generational families, or intimate gatherings, my approach remains rooted in calm presence and careful observation.

A Legacy Venue for Dallas Luxury Weddings

The Ritz-Carlton Dallas, Las Colinas — formerly the Four Seasons Resort Dallas — continues to be one of the most sought-after venues for couples planning a Dallas luxury wedding. Its expansive grounds, elegant interiors, and resort atmosphere make it ideal for celebrations that feel both destination-inspired and locally rooted.

Having photographed weddings throughout Dallas for decades, I understand how to anticipate the rhythm of these spaces — from outdoor ceremonies overlooking the course to candlelit ballroom receptions.

Planning a Ritz-Carlton Dallas or Oklahoma Wedding?

While based in Norman and Nichols Hills, I serve couples across Oklahoma, Dallas, and select destinations each year. With family in Dallas and longstanding ties to both communities, travel between the two feels seamless.

This dual-market presence allows me to work with couples who share connections to the University of Oklahoma, Dallas business circles, and families whose stories span both states.

Whether you’re planning a Ritz-Carlton Las Colinas wedding, a downtown Dallas celebration, or an Oklahoma wedding rooted in tradition, I approach each event with an editorial eye and over two decades of experience.
