I have been happily married since May 12th, 2005- WOW that went by so fast! That is a photo of my husband and me to the left! I also love my job, I have photographed weddings since 2001 and owned my business since 2005. Do you want me to shoot your wedding? I have a current passport and love to travel even in America; Email me : info@jessicamonnichphotography.com and let’s talk!
So my husband and I celebrated our 7th anniversary. It was a lot of fun and exciting. He gave me a new iPad (so now I can do fun instagrams yay!!) This one is us just being silly while waiting for our food at Annie’s on Congress. He got these tatoos because I have low [...]
So my husband and I celebrated our 7th anniversary. It was a lot of fun and exciting. He gave me a new iPad (so now I can do fun instagrams yay!!)
This one is us just being silly while waiting for our food at Annie’s on Congress. He got these tatoos because I have low blood pressure so the Dr. told me that I am able to eat as much salt as I want (Thanks Dad!! then he got the pepper for our daughter who is “spicy” although she wants to be like mommy so she always says she is the salt too .
I’m a lucky woman! I got him a massage (that we have to reschedule because they accidentally booked us for the wrong time, oh well things happen.) and both of us a night stay at Casulo hotel here in town, we has our own in ground Japanese bath! We also went to see Dark Shadows at Ipic, wasn’t as funny as I thought it would be! Daniel walked out with the same feelings he had watching Breaking Dawn when he went with me to see that not really a cheesy vampire fan. Then Saturday we went to Annie’s on Congress it was awesome! Sooooo going back. I wanted to surprise Daniel with dinner so we went to Whole Foods and picked out what we wanted (not the surprise part).
He is so cute! I love him and all his quirky facial expressions.
Then I blindfolded him and drove to the top of the parking garage downtown where he proposed. It was awesome! We danced to the same song he played when he proposed then ate on a blanket.
I got those battery tea lights just in case because at our wedding it was soooo windy that all the hundreds of candles we bought wouldn’t light!
It was a pretty sunset and a pretty sweet view but the best view of all was my sweet husband! (You can follow me on Instagram if you want just look for jessica_monnich, this will be my new real-life contact for clients as I turned of my facebook a little while ago.)
So I wanted to share our experience with you all because you don’t have to go to Jamaica (which we were hoping to do but with airfare, hotel, food, and spending money it was a little much plus we wanted to use Daniel’s big bonus from work to pay off most of our bills so that maybe next year we can go!) for it to be a nice anniversary. Also that love can last and that once the dress is packed away (and in my case doesn’t fit anymore) the best thing from your wedding that still remains years later is your LOVE! So while your planning your wedding take a deep breath and remind yourselves why you are doing all of this….. LOVE (and maybe get a good planner like Beth of Stylish happenings .
P.s. More wedding related posts on their way! Been a little crazy around here with weddings, my daughter’s birthday, then her getting sick for a week, our anniversary, mother’s day…. anything else we want to cram into this month? BUT I love my life and am sooooo thankful for it all!
This was such a fun wedding for me it was really short (compared to most weddings I photograph) but very sweet. They were married at the Justice of the Peace the day before so this was pretty much a reception/celebration. It was a night wedding during December thus the moody lighting and fire in the [...]
This was such a fun wedding for me it was really short (compared to most weddings I photograph) but very sweet. They were married at the Justice of the Peace the day before so this was pretty much a reception/celebration. It was a night wedding during December thus the moody lighting and fire in the fire places. Oh and a COFFEE BAR!! Awesome! Well it is 5:30 am on Christmas Eve, I think I will head to bed, until next year… Happy Holidays all!
This is one of the things I LOVE LOVE LOVE about Zilker clubhouse, the VIEW!
They had cake balls made in their new last name.
They had a ribbon waving entrance, I LOVE this idea!!
AND Amy’s icecream! Def. went off the diet that night! SHHHH don’t tell my trainer!

This was a unique Austin wedding in which a handful of Austin Texas’ most talented wedding vendors came together to stage a one-of-a-kind REAL wedding. Complete with an unforgettable ceremony, unique 80′s details, food, and KILLER reception including 80′s cover band, and a ZOMBIE exit! This was an Austin wedding that will be remembered for years to come! I assisted Beth Bennett in styling this wedding it was probably one of the funnest experiences of my career so far! I hope you enjoy these images and are inspired by them to think outside of the box for your wedding. I hope that it helps you to think about how to add your personality to every bit of your wedding. Please see the list of vendors at the bottom of the post as well. You can also check out www.80swedding.com for a list of vendors. Also at the end of this post is a link to the Youtube video that Elizabeth Jayne (one of my assistants for the night) and I put together.
About the Bride and Groom: Shelby (the bride) and Stephen (the groom) met at a break dancing concert. Stephen LOVES Starwars and both of them love all things 80′s so what better theme for them than an 80′s wedding. They had their ceremony in Beijing China (which I was privalliged to be their photographer there as well) which was beautiful! But as you may have guessed not all their friends and family could make it to China so they ask Beth Bennett and I to style and coordinate their wedding ceremony/celebration here in Austin Texas.
It was a LOOOONG 6 months BUT we pulled it off and it came out to be a STELLAR party that all their guests were raving about! Again we couldn’t have done it without the AMAZINGLY talented vendors that were involved so if you would like your wedding to be unique and creative PLEASE contact any of the lovely people involved!Enjoy!!!
then he got the pepper for our daughter who is “spicy” although she wants to be like mommy so she always says she is the salt too 
I am soooo excited to share this with everyone. It was several months of hard work and one day of truly sweaty work as it was 90+ degrees outside the day of the shoot. I hope you enjoy the details and creativity that all of us gathered for this fabulous feature. Please scroll to the bottom for the entire list of amazing vendors and their links!
