Emily & Jeremy | Sometimes love stares you in the face

Posted on February 24, 2010

Falling for the girl next door, or in this case, the girl at the next desk over. Sometimes the key to love is just plucking up the nerve to ask someone out. Most of us don’t think about finding the love of of lives sitting in the cubical next to ours. Well, Emily & Jeremy were especially lucky. They met at work and over the course of time Jeremy finally got the courage to ask Emily out. The rest is history, they became best friends and fell in love. What more could you ask for?! They had an amazing winter wedding at the Barr Mansion, one of my personal favorites here in Austin for all inclusive eco friendly weddings & events. And Emily & Jeremy’s wedding was green. All the flowers, food and decor provided by the Barr Mansion is certified organic. They had lovely soy tea lights and of course, La Dolce Vita Photography  is carbon neutral and a member of Greener Photography.org!  Funny, I asked Emily about this and she said that although they hadn’t planned a green wedding it just happened to turn out that way! Don’t you just love serendipity? Check out some of the gems from this wedding below. A special thanks to Suzi Q of qweddings for lending her eye to this beautiful event and to the  Barr Mansion team for all their work and gorgeous floral arrangements. Dress by: Paloma Blanca | Shoes by: Manolo Blahnik

Holly & Jeff | Their Wedding Story

Posted on February 3, 2010

Holly & Jeff were married in Austin’s Smith Family Chapel, just south of Pennybacker Bridge. It was a gloriously sunny day with just enough of a nip in the air for Holly to wear a fabulous fur wrap which had been her grandmother’s . Her classic gown was paired with a dainty pair of Stuart Weitzman’s and the entire ensemble set off by a beautiful crystal hair piece.  Smith Family Chapel is a pleasure to photograph in. It’s high ceilings and stain glass window give it a light filled glow. After the ceremony friends and family gathered at the Austin Country Club to welcome the newlyweds for an afternoon brunch and some lively celebrating. Toasts were shared, fond memories recounted and joy abounded. Austin Country Club did an amazing job creating the whimsical wintery table accents and floral decor. The whole day was a testament to how much Holly & Jeff love each other and how greatly they care for their family and friends. Congratulations to you all!
