Springtime Wedding at Omni Barton Creek

July 8, 2017

Wanting to get married in Austin during our peak spring or fall wedding seasons requires advance planning, which usually means planning more than a year before your preferred wedding date. My favorite weather in Austin is in April and November. The temperatures are perfect, not too hot and not too cold. So planning with Erin and Graham began 14 months before their wedding. We toured many of Austin’s indoor and outdoor options, but the only perfect fit was the pavilion at Barton Creek. They wanted a fun dance party and for their guests to enjoy great food and drinks. Thank you so much to Henry Uribe for all his help on the wedding day and Diana M. Lott for capturing all the wedding fun.

Having amazing vendors makes a huge difference, so thank you everyone for creating a wonderful evening for Erin and Graham.

Austin Honky Tonk Wedding

June 3, 2017

Get ready for one of my biggest photo re-caps to date. It is not every day that a bride calls you with her wedding ideas and the discussion is full of neon bar signs, colored Christmas lights hanging in the bar, wedding colors that match the Pearl Snap beer can and a roasted pig. Woo-hoo, sign me up! I was so thrilled that Linnea brought me on to assist in planning her wedding at Mercury Hall. It was such a fantastic event and to say everyone had a blast would be an understatement. Many thanks to Jennifer Jones with Luxe Photography for capturing all the unique and amazing details.

December Driskill Wedding by Barbara’s Brides

January 2, 2015

Alison has a very busy work schedule, her mom lives in Florida and her fiance is active duty military. She wanted more than day of wedding planning and wanted to still be involved in the planning. The most challenging part of the planning was keeping the band a secret in order to surprise the groom. They were his favorite so we did all that we could to keep it a secret until the great reveal. The groom was stateside in October which made everything better for Alison. Nothing like having a military fiance on home soil. Tyler Schmitt did a great job with all the photos and is just fun to have at a wedding http://millphotostudio.com . Melanie Tipton with http://lastpetal.com did a wonderful job on the flowers.
