Ah sweetness! Bride and Groom snuggling on their wedding day.

Gorgeous flowers from Whole Foods! I LOVE their flowers!

Bridesmaids praying for the bride! How sweet!

More prayers.

Alexia’s (the bride) gorgeous hair from the back!

I see your cards!

They didn’t want to bet the groom

Groom’s boutineere

They had hershey’s kisses printed with their names on the bottom so of course I was going to use them for a ring shot! FUN!

“Bubbles, bubbles, bubbles” – from Finding Nemo. I loved how I was able to focus on the bubbles! That is the joy of a day wedding! Thanks Alexia and Jeffrey for having me be a part of your wedding day! It was beautiful! I am so excited for the two of you and the path that life will take you down. Best wishes!

Purple, passion, royalty, LOVE!

February 19, 2010

So what do all those have in common? Jessica and Nathan’s wedding! It was fabulous! It was at Jessica’s parent’s house (so sorry ladies it isn’t a “venue”) in Dripping Springs. The color theme was purple and jewel tones which complimented each other very well. They also brought along their two dogs to play, their girl dog was dressed in a doggie dress and they were both walked down the aisle and layed in the aisle as mom and dad got married!! It was adorable.

Their little girl dog is all dressed up below! Isn’t she the cutest little wedding dog!!! Also I love how Jessica had her name sewn into her dress in blue (something blue).

I love how you can see the water on the flowers below! I loved the flowers at this wedding- Jessica do you remember your vendors so that I can give them credit too.

Daddy kisses before the first look moment with her groom. It was such a sweet moment, he was so happy for her.

I love those white shoes with a white rose CUTE Jessica! The photo below is my FAVORITE photo of Nathan and Jessica! I love the colors!

I LOVE how the guys all wore different jewel tone ties! Those pimp cufflinks were a gift from the Father of the bride. I thought it was funny how the flower girl was treating the doggy like a little dollie. Poor thing!

These tulips are so beautiful in little cones on the aisle chairs.

Harpist above sounded so beautiful! What a beautiful day!

Bride- Jessica walking down the aisle with her Mom and Dad. It was a sweet moment! When the priest asked who gives this bride her Dad

said ” I do” and then her mom looked at him then he said “Oh we do” and smiled really big It was cute.

Man and wife!!!

YUMMY YUMMY food !!!

Cocktail hour was on their back porch by the pool the sky was so beautiful!

Bride and groom feeding each other their beautiful cake!

Gotta love a man who give a little blue box! These cute pups above were given as favors to the kids they got them at FAO Schwartz!! There were two left and all the kids had one so Jessica said I could take one home to my three year old Bella and she LOOOOVES it! Thanks Jessica!

Living strong! Loving strong!

January 2, 2010

I started photographing this couple at 6 am! They walked the Lance Armstrong Livestrong challenge the morning of their wedding with their Aunt and Uncle who survived cancer. It was a very sweet gesture! I got VERY teary eyed as 6 immediate family members have battled cancer! The rest of their wedding was ABSOLUTLY gorgeous! I loved the details that they had. Enjoy!

Barr Mansion and Ballroom

10463 Sprinkle Road
Austin, TX 78754-9604

p.s. This wedding is also in the Real wedding section of Wedding Chicks- Check it out!

This bachelorette passport and goodies came from Stacey’s friend! Too cute!

She has an etsy.com storefront I need to find out what her’s is so I can let you ladies (and gents know where to find her stuff!

Above is a sixpence Stacey put into her shoe.

She is even gorgeous when she is nervous!

Her sister was her maid of honor. They are such sweet sisters! I wish I had a sister! Well now I do I have a sister-in-law!

They got the ring bearer to calm down with trucks that Stacey gave him that afternoon. He would not let them go!

Stacey’s Mom and Dad, I like to tell jokes to get people to warm up and not have the “deer in headlights” look on their face!

Just a side note I am not a comedian nor am I guarenteeing my jokes by ANY means! Listen at your own risk!

His brother and sister were his “groomsmen” so sweet!

Yes this was during the ceremony, I guess Stacey noticed me off the the side

and looked right in the lens with her beautiful smile!

It started to get pretty dark halfway through the ceremony. The lighting was so AMAZING!

Flower petals lining the aisle.

So Jacob is so suave with his hand in his pocket

Stacey and Jacob LOVE dogs! So they had some of their guests give them photos of their

dogs and put them at each table labeling them with who they belonged to. It was so fun!

I wanna rock and roll all nite and party every day- Hannah and Derrik’s Villa Antonia wedding

December 13, 2009

This was an AMAZING wedding! It was beautiful all the personal touches that Hannah included! The flowers were breathtaking! The venue- Villa Antonia, was spectacular as usual! All adding up to a recipe for an AMAZING wedding! Oh and the band- I can’t think of their name (will someone email me to remind me who these guys are), was show stopping! Oh but then the GROOM got up with his band (I think from when he was in college) and the ROCKED our FACES OFF! Litterally! EVERYONE was dancing and sweet little ladies where holding up tea lights to try to get them to do an encore! It was so hopping that they had to leave the door open to cool the place off even thought it was FREEZING outside! Also best of all you could tell these two were in love and so excited to be married! It was so sweet the friendship and love they share! I know I am using a lot of exclamation marks but really that is how I felt about this wedding! BEST WISHES Hannah and Derrik!

Hannah was a “Sundancer” at Westwood Highschool (the highschool I graduated from and attended for 4 LONG years! which they would do routines during the halftime and at pep ralleys they did some pretty awesome moves! Well all that to say that Hannah LOVES to dance! So of course her and her dad did a coreographed routine to the song My Girl. It was ADORABLE! This was them (above) practicing that morning!

Austin wedding photography

Hannah’s Dad rented Father of the Bride, Bride Wars and CoCo Chanel (he picked them out! I know what a GREAT Dad!) for them to watch as they got ready. I got teary eyed seeing parts of Father of the Bride (So did her dad, I didn’t tell you that ) Doesn’t her dad resemble Steve Martin?? In a good way

Hannah’s friend/personal assistant for the day (EVERY BRIDE NEEDS a friend to do this- BEYOND the maid of honor, it is another friend who makes sure you have water, your dress gets bustled, helps you to chill out before you walk down the aisle

AHMAZING! Need I say more about the FANTASTICALLY AMAZING wedding flowers! They popped so well against the gold sheen of the bridesmaid’s dresses!
