The Chapel at Chestnut Square Wedding Chapel is one of my favorite wedding spots. As a local McKinney resident and a preferred photographer for the venue, I I love having a historic and super photogenic venue so close to home. The chapel hosts both small elopements and full weddings, which makes it a great option for various budgets and visions.
Brides get ready in the charming 1870’s Victorian Johnson House next door to the chapel with tons of cute furniture to photograph getting ready moments. The Chapel can hold up to 150 guests or you can also hold your Chapel at Chestnut Square Wedding ceremony in their adorable garden when the Texas weather cooperates. The garden seats up to 75 guests. They even ring the bell in the chapel after your first kiss!

(You will find a flyer for Haley Katherine Photography in those bags!)
