Meredith and Mark’s Austin Texas wedding at Barr Mansion

“I would like to thank you Al Gore and eharmony [for this marriage], because after all we all know that Al Gore created the Internet” said the Father of the Bride as the crowd ERUPTED in laughter! This couple met on eharmony and feel in love! They have been camping numerous times that is the reason their engagement photos are in a tent! :) It was such a fun memorable wedding! I stayed a little longer than usual to photograph them at the Driskill Hotel in Austin Texas. They were such a laid back and fun couple that you could tell loved to hang out with each other and laugh together! Best wishes guys!

So the bracelet that is wrapped around the bouquet is the bride’s great-grandmother’s her great-grandfather gave

it to her when he was away in the war he made it from coins from the country he was in.

Look at how BLUE her eyes are! I didn’t enhance them in photoshop other than lighten a little. Otherwise that

is her natural BLUE eyes! AMAZING! Meredith you looked GORGEOUS! I love her Dad’s expression!

I was looking at how to photograph the musicians and looked down and noticed the heart on the bridge of this

particular instrument and thought it so charming. It plays LOVE!

This couple loves stars so their theme for their reception was based on stars. These were the place cards.

Father/Daughter dance, I LOVE his expression! You could tell how much he loves his daughter! To keep from

crying as he walked her down the aisle they both agreed to tell jokes on the way. It was so precious!

Each table was a constellation, all the tables had a card with a Greek god of that constellation with funny comments on them.

I couldn’t stop giggling as I took this photo.

I don’t know if this was a gift or if this little set was something they brought but either way it was ADORABLE and

how could I resist putting the rings in the hands of little Lego bride and groom?? You can’t you simply can’t!

So they wanted me to follow them to their honeymoon suite to take photos.

When I found out they were doing this at the Driskill Hotel and we had permission I was

SUUUPER excited because usually you have to pay $200 to shoot there (unless they are having there wedding there of course)

but since they were staying there for their honeymoon night we got to take some photos! The shot above was

in the elevator at The Driskill Hotel.
