Katlyn and Dylan | Villa Del Lago Wedding

There are so many different options when it comes to wedding decor. From regal and elegant to rustic and DIY, you can find just about anything to fit your vision and theme. Whatever you decide though, seeing it all come together on that big day is priceless. Being able to document and cherish that process is one few people are lucky enough to experience. Katlyn and Dylan here are among the lucky few, blogging their entire wedding planning process. You can read more about that process on her amazing blog here!

Katlyn and Dylan’s Gorgeous Villa Del Lago Wedding

Katlyn and Dylan got married at Villa Del Lago on Lake Travis. Their wedding was so beautiful and timeless. Katlyn looked absolutely stunning in a lace mermaid gown, while her wedding party wowed in every shade of gold. She is a style and beauty expert, so she definitely has an eye for fashion and what looks aesthetically pleasing. From the white rose bouquets, to the gold photo frames, to the perfectly manicured tables… this event was the definition of elegance.

Katlyn and Dylan started their courtship on twitter, and met up hundreds of miles from their respective homes and she says she knew the day they met that she would marry Dylan. What a great story these two have! It was a beautiful event for an even more beautiful couple, and I have a feeling they will have so many more amazing stories to tell in their future as husband and wife.

What a gorgeous day these two planned! Being Katlyn and Dylan’s Villa Del Lago Wedding photographer was nothing short of an absolute joy!

Laura and Dustin | Barr Mansion Wedding

This wedding was beautiful from start to finish. Our favorite time of day to shoot weddings is during the late afternoon so we can capture some amazing shots of the couple in the golden light of the sunset, and then dance the night away! Laura and Dustin’s wedding was a perfect example of the ideal timeline from the first hello, to the last wave goodbye.

Laura and Dustin’s Barr Mansion Wedding

These two free-spirited souls bring such fun and joy wherever they go. We were honored to have been chosen as their Austin area wedding photographers!

The backdrop for this special day was the Barr Mansion and Artisan Ballroom in Austin, Texas. One gorgeous venue, to say the least. Aislinn at Barr Mansion coordinated the day to perfection with Sixpence Floral providing the stunning, colorful blooms! Laura and her bridal party and family were able to dress and primp in the classically restored Victorian Farmhouse. Even her little terrier, Rufus, was able to take part in the preparations! I loved the expression on her mother’s face seeing her daughter as a bride on her wedding day. Even moreso, we were able to capture this photo for the couple!

A Stunning Setting for a Stunning Bride

Laura was absolutely stunning as she entered the site for the ceremony surrounded by lush ornamental gardens. The reception took place in the Ballroom with antique barn-wood tables and lots of candlelit tables for all of Laura and Dustin’s friends and family to celebrate together at. The afternoon sun danced through the trees creating beautiful highlights and shadows around the venue. Our portraits of the newly married couple in the open fields in the warmth of the sun are some of my absolute favorites! Make sure to scroll down to see all the beauty and celebration of Laura and Dustin’s love!

What a gorgeous day spent celebrating the union of two beautiful souls. We are so lucky to have been Laura and Dustin’s Barr Mansion wedding photographers!

Laguna Gloria Bridal Portraits | Kelly!

Laguna Gloria bridal portraits are my favorite! The combination of the beautiful, green solarium and all the lush landscaping make it the perfect spot for some classic bridal portraits! We were so excited when Kelly, one of our favorite brides, chose it for her bridals! She is SO STUNNING, it’s not even fair! I’m so happy she and Bryan are finally wed and I can show you these!

Laguna Gloria Bridal Portraits | Tori

Tori is now a newlywed, and I’m so happy to share her Laguna Gloria bridal portraits! She has had one busy few months, graduating from A&M, getting married, visiting Aruba and then moving to Austin this fall! Laguna Gloria is amazing. It was POURING rain at the beginning of her shoot, but the solarium is so gorgeous we didn’t mind at all! Later, the sun came out… and so did the magic. 😉

Here are a few of my favorites!
