What a gorgeous wedding! I had the pleasure of photographing the groom’s sister’s wedding last year, and knew that these two were headed to the altar soon to follow. I secretly wished that they would contact me when it was their day, and to my delight, they did! The ceremony brought tears to my eyes, the reception brought celebration, and their departure left joy to all those that attended. Perfect!
(My husband took the above shot – I love it!)
And some of the details from their day…
… and they can! But first, let me show you the gorgeous preparation and ceremony images we captured from this fabulous day!
I do love the full hanging dress picture as well, but my favorites of the dress are always the details…
The ceremony took place at the beautiful St. Austin church on Guadalupe. I always love photographing weddings here!
How fun is this… they wedding party took a trolley to the reception venue!
The reception was held at the Texas Federation of Women’s Clubs. I may have found my new favorite reception site!
The couple decided on a dinner served “family style” at each table, which was such a nice touch! Stefanie with Your Wedding Your Way coordinated the reception. I was very impressed with the dj, Greenbelt DJ. I highly recommend!
These moves deserve a little series of their own:
What a fun night (as you can see)!
If ever you have been a skeptic about love, you wouldn’t be after meeting this sweet couple. I’m always thrilled to capture a little stolen glance on the wedding day, but there were literally dozens of pictures of the two of them together – gazing and happy as can be.
Their wedding took place at the Allen House in central Austin, one of my favorite venues for pictures. What a gorgeous backdrop!
What a lovely day – I’m so glad that I was selected to capture it!
I just posted on facebook that I’m on vacation until the 27th. ‘Tis true, but I do have a layover in Salt Lake City right now, and thought I’d post a few of the pictures I’ve been working on for the beautiful bride and her groom!
I’m glad that my job is to reveal the connections between people through photographs instead of writing about them. I’ve been “pretend tapping” my keys here for a few minutes. How do I tell my blog readers that this family loves beautifully? How do I tell them that their love really moved me and inspired? Well, my hope is that words aren’t required!
This is the groom and his son. I had to collect myself for a second after shooting these – how touching the moments between a father and his boy!
I have a feeling these adorable tutus came from Smartie Pantz Boutique in Bee Cave/Marble Falls!
I love this sweet moment:
This wedding took place at the Hyatt Lost Pines resort in Bastrop. It was very special, as you can see!
I left this wedding smiling. I have picture after picture of the two of them together – happy. What joy they brought to everyone attending the wedding! Their wedding took place at the beautiful Mercury Hall in South Austin.
I was editing some of their wedding pictures tonight and just fell in love with these formals! Aren’t they dreamy? Such a loving and sweet couple!
And one from their beautiful ceremony underneath the trees…
Monday through Wednesday we worked on moving into our new place and I somehow managed to meet with two clients, make three trips to the post office, and return about 50 e-mails, on Thursday my parents arrived from Phoenix, on Friday I worked on calligraphy and then at night I photographed an intimate wedding at the beautiful Allan House with a couple who is just as in love as can be and then at 5:00 AM Saturday my husband and I started the drive to Midland, where I photographed another gorgeous wedding with an inspiring couple (and a sweet family I was so happy to see again)! I went to bed at about 1:30 Sunday morning, woke up, drove straight from Midland to the movie theater in Austin to watch Toy Story with my family (Father’s Day celebration) and hug and kiss my son a million times, and now I’m submitting a few print orders so that they’ll be happily waiting when the print shops open tomorrow morning. So, as you can see, LOTS of stuff has been going on – and with it there have been so many blessings! In the midst of personal busyness, I’ve gone through hundreds (perhaps thousands) of images of people who love, have cried happy tears at two beautiful weddings, and experienced a renewed energy for what I do. My commitment to spending the proper amount of time with my client’s images is still going strong and I do believe any additional wait time incurred is well worth it!
And what is a post without some pictures? I have LOTS (must go with blog post title) of love for this bride-to-be, who drove in from Temple with her mom (incredibly patient with Austin’s tendency towards three names per one street) for her bridal portraits. What an honor! She’s selected such a fabulous dress – I can’t wait for the big day in August!!!
Um, yes. She is one beautiful bride!!
There are so many things to say about this wedding. The bride is a timeless beauty. I have a feeling that her detail selections will never go out of style. I love bridesmaid’s dresses with pockets. You couldn’t ask for more than a set of groomsmen who will sing All 4 One’s “I Swear” during the formal portraits. Stephen F. Austin hotel on 7th Street is gorgeous for “getting ready” pictures. The Allen House is one of my new favorite wedding venues. Lucky for me, I have two more wedding to photograph there in the next few months! It was great to see the 36th Street Events gals again! Okay, I could go on and on and on!
Now on to fabulous pictures!
Nestled in the middle of spring came this pretty wedding. It was a special day made even more special because the bride’s sister was married last summer and you-know-who photographed the wedding! It was fun to see familiar faces! I love photographing weddings at St. Austin, UT Club, and the beautiful AT&T Executive Education and Conference Center. And this couple made it even more beautiful for sure!
