Amy and Nick had an amazing vintage throw-back wedding, complete with oldies song, a rockin’ car, and Amy’s bombshell tea-length wedding dress! I’m SO glad I was there for the amazing food, that dancing, and the beautiful weather. Congratulations, Nick and Amy!

March 2, 2010 - 9:54 am Ashley - Hey there! I love your work!!! I saw this post on RnR Bride and I adore the 45s on the table! I have a wedding blog all about music called Hi-Fi Weddings, and I'd love to feature this wedding. Of course I'll link back to you and Kat, I just really want more details about the 45s :) Please email me at hifiweddings@gmail.com if you are interested! Thanks much, Ashley

JC + Autumn – Mansion at Judge’s Hill

So I know I have an entire blog post where all I could do was talk about how amazing Autumn is, but spending time with JC and all of their family and friends made me adore this couple that much more. Mansion at Judge’s Hill was the perfect setting for this wedding. It was elegant, lighthearted, soft, and beautiful. I’m so blessed to have met this couple and to have gotten to be a part of JC and Autumn’s wedding and I just wanted to say congratulations again!

Annnddd a big thanks to my second shooter, Martin Cherry, who drove all the way from Nashville, TX to help me out me out. I wish I could steal him for every wedding!

Melizza + Greg – Wedding at the Winfield Inn

I love being around couples that I just want to hang out with. Melizza and Greg are just… fun. =) Their  wedding was at the Winfield Inn in Kyle, TX and I’m officially in love with the trees on their grounds. Melizza just has amazing taste in clothing, flowers, all things design, and candy!! She had a gloooorrriouss candy bar and Amy’s Ice Cream at her reception and her continuity and love for sweets makes my heart warm.

I love that they swing dance with a group of friends for fun regularly so they didn’t practice their first dance, but it was fluid and beautiful anyway. I loved the sunset that day. I love their family and friends. I love that they met through Craigslist because we all need to hear amazing stories about how two people found each other in amazing and unlikely ways.

They’re about to move to Europe which makes me incredibly jealous, but I wish them all the best! I know they’re going to have an amazing future together. Congratulations, guys!

Light writing proposal

A friend of mine sent this to me and I haddddd to share it. I love when people get creative with their wedding proposals, but I don’t know that I’ve ever actually cried listening to an engagement story. This video just gives me chills in the best way. To have a fiance and a group friends willing to spend hours in the cold for several nights to help with our wedding proposal? What truly blessed couple. =)

Read about how this amazing proposal story went down, and all the fun technical stuff for you nerds out there!

xoxo

January 8, 2010 - 7:16 am Rickard - WOW!!!! That is one outstanding video!!! really amazinG!!! I also have to share this:) People need to see those brilliant, creative and "lovefull" things! We need to get reminded that not every thing in the world is bad:) I have to link to your blog on my blog: http://www.therickardnilsson.com

Autumn’s South Congress Bridal Session

Autumn is beautiful, classy, her dress is amazing, her hair is perfection, AND she’s delightful to boot! Really, though. I seriously considered dying my hair red for about a month after this session. I can’t get over how brilliant her hair looked in the sunlight! It was so hard waiting to post these until she was married and I’m still jazzed about this session!

Leslie + Andy at Mercury Hall

Leslie and Andy made their way into my list of top favorite people ever for asking me to photograph their engagement session at a carnival. As a lover of lollipops, funnel cake, cotton candy, deep fried anything, and bright colors, I loved this couple immediately. Their wedding was just as bright and amazing as they are, and their families are fantastic! Leslie’s family always prepares fun performances for family members’ weddings, and for Leslie, they did none other than a medley from “Annie.” I love my musicals and I keep the “Annie” soundtrack in or near my record player at all times, so I got so much out of that. What a rockin’ wedding!

Exploring: Austin, TX

Made by Nessa K and Martin B. Cherry.

December 28, 2009 - 3:37 pm Mary - LOVE THIS! Such a beautiful magical video.

Emma + Daniel

I adore Emma — her smile, her upbeat attitude, her natural beauty, and Daniel is a riot to be around — he’s hilarious and keeps Emma laughing, making them the perfect couple to photograph! They drove down from Houston for their engagement photos and I’m incredibly glad they found me and let me be a part of their wedding this summer because I truly enjoyed just being around them.

Here are some of my favorites from our session together!

John & Kelly are married!

John and Kelly are just rad people. I met John through my boyfriend, Josh. He went on tour with Josh and I got to hear all about how amazing he was before I even met him. After spending time with both John and Kelly for an engagement session and smoothies, and then spending another day with Kelly in her gorgeous wedding gown for her bridal session, I can’t even begin to express how excited I was to get to hang out with them all day for their wedding. John and Kelly are a perfect match. They write songs together (I hear Kelly is quite the lyricist!) and John even broke out his guitar to serenade Kelly during the reception. Is that perfect or what? They were married at the Umlauf Sculpture Garden and the entire event was flawless. Laid back, unrushed, not too hot, awesome music, beautiful people, tasty food, and just plain ol’ good company.  Thank you guys for letting me a part of your big day!

And Austin folk, trust me on this, you HAVE to stop by John and Kelly’s vegan food stand DeFresh Mode for some meatless goodness! It’s ridiculously good. =)
