A Tuscan-Inspired Celebration at The Springs in Waxahachie: Isabella & Thomas Lampkin

Isabella and Thomas Lampkin’s wedding at The Springs in Waxahachie, Texas, transported guests to the rolling hills of Italy—without ever leaving Texas. With elegant Tuscan-style architecture, romantic details, and lush outdoor scenery, their day was the perfect blend of charm, sophistication, and heartfelt moments.

A Venue That Feels Like Italy in the Heart of Texas

Part of the Springs Event Venues collection, the Waxahachie location is known for its Italian-inspired design and expansive outdoor spaces. Surrounded by trees and featuring a serene pond, the property offers endless opportunities for cinematic photography and videography. The reception hall’s warm stone façade and arched windows gave the entire event a European destination wedding feel—something rarely found in North Texas.

A Couple Full of Energy and Joy

Even without knowing them personally before the wedding day, it was immediately clear that Isabella and Thomas were a joy to work with. They were natural in front of the camera, enthusiastic about every part of the day, and deeply appreciative of their vendors. Their warm personalities helped create a relaxed, celebratory atmosphere that carried from the first look to the last dance.

An Emotional First Look and Letter Exchange

The emotional centerpiece of the day was the couple’s letter readings after their first look. This quiet, private exchange allowed them to express their love and anticipation before stepping into the ceremony. It’s moments like these—full of raw, unscripted emotion—that bring depth and intimacy to a wedding film.

A Vintage Touch with Super 8

The Lampkins wanted their wedding video to reflect a vintage, timeless feel, so Super 8 film was incorporated throughout the day. The soft grain and warm tones added a nostalgic quality to the final edit, perfectly complementing the old-world elegance of The Springs.

Scenic Portraits and Italian-Inspired Backdrops

From the sunlit walkways to the tree-lined views by the pond, the portrait sessions were a highlight of the creative process. The natural light, elegant architecture, and romantic outdoor settings came together beautifully, giving the couple a gallery of moments that could easily be mistaken for a European destination shoot.

A Seamless Vendor Team with Careful Coordination

With a full creative team—two videographers, two photographers, and a content creator—the key was constant communication to ensure everyone captured their moments without crowding each other’s shots. Despite the number of people working behind the scenes, the day moved smoothly thanks to professionalism and coordination.

The Couple’s Reaction to Their Film

Isabella and Thomas loved their wedding film. Even during the wedding day itself, they expressed genuine gratitude for the work being done to capture their memories—something that always makes the process even more rewarding.

What Made This Wedding Stand Out

While many Texas weddings lean rustic or country-chic, this celebration broke the mold with its refined, Tuscan-inspired aesthetic. The architecture, atmosphere, and styling created a truly unique experience that felt both grand and intimate.

Tips for Planning an Outdoor Texas Wedding

If you’re planning an outdoor wedding in Texas, keep this in mind:

• Prepare for the heat and humidity. Even spring weddings can feel like summer—have water, shade, and fans available.
• Choose a venue with versatile indoor and outdoor spaces. The Springs venue offers both, ensuring comfort for guests without sacrificing beauty.
• Coordinate closely with your vendor team. Multiple shooters and creatives can be a huge asset if managed well.

Whether you’re envisioning a Tuscan-inspired wedding or simply want a venue that combines elegance with natural beauty, The Springs in Waxahachie offers the perfect canvas—and Jade Films is ready to bring that vision to life.
