Mark & Lorna had a romantic garden wedding at the Hyatt Lost Pines Resort. Both families flew in for the special occasion from England and Ireland. The theme of the wedding was all about cheerful oranges, yellows and golds with beautiful butterfly accents throughout. Lorna looked so elegant in her silk gown with her Filippa Scott shoes and her marigold sweet pea bouquet. Such a lovely couple. And I love the Hyatt Lost Pines, it feels so private and intimate even though it’s just a short 30 min drive outside of Austin. The event team was sensational, staying abreast on every detail throughout. A BIG thank you to Brenda Abbott of Brenda Abbott Floral Designs for the exquisite floral arrangements! What an inspired summer wedding!

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 it’s all inclusive eco friendly wedding & event services. And Emily & Jeremy’s wedding was green. All the flowers, food and decor was provided by the Barr Mansion which is certified organic. And of course we are a carbon neutral business and proud members of Greener Photography.org! I asked Emily about why she chose to do a green wedding and she said that although they hadn’t planned on it she was thrilled that it turned 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 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!
