One of my favorite venues this year so far, Mandola Estate in Driftwood Texas, makes a lovely & romantic setting for a wedding. Vows were exchanged under beautiful live oaks hung with little floral jewels placed in wire wrapped mason jars. After a sunset filled ceremony Alex & Dave celebrated with a special tour of the winery cask room and of course lots of local wine. Dinner was served in the warmth of Trattoria Lisina and after several lovely toasts everyone moved outside to share in some dancing under the stars. A very big congratulations to Alex & Dave! Rose Hip Flora was behind the creation of the gorgeous flowers at this wedding and Austin Cake Ball made the yummy & playful desserts.

Michelle & Eric are an amazing world traveling easy going couple that have great taste in wine. Capturing their wedding was a breeze and everything went off without a hitch. I love it when I get couples that I want to to spend time with after their wedding is done. Too bad you guys live in Dallas! In any case it was a joy working with them and despite feeling nervous Michelle looked absolutely beautiful. You could sense her relax right after they exchanged their vows and you could feel how much love these two have for each other. A special thank you to Katherine O’Brien for being a fantastic mind reading second photographer! Congratulations you guys!
