One of my very favorite things about my job is discovering new talent. Great new photographers, invitation designers that are just starting out, cake bakers and planners, cinematographers and event designers. It’s so incredibly inspiring to watch people who are living their dreams, who are just taking off on their creative adventure.
Which is exactly why I am so thrilled to introduce Heather Wendling, a brand spanking new photographer who just happens to be one of my childhood besties. I was totally blown away by her work and by the charming, Texas style wedding that she recently shot…
Heather was assisting Ever After Images on this particular shoot, though all of these shots were captured by Heather herself. And, she’s stopping by to share a bit of the detail!
Both the outdoor ceremony and reception took place at Starhill Ranch in South Austin. The ranch consists of several re-stored buildings which have been re-located to the site, including a house for the bride and bridesmaids to relax and get ready, a “saloon” for the groomsmen, a chapel perfect for small weddings, a barber shop which serves as an office for the ranch owners, a large house with a porch overlooking rolling hills where dinner was served and a dance hall with old wooden floors for perfect dancing. Essentially the wedding took place in a charming little town where everyone knew one another. As the night wore on guests were outside under string lights enjoying the beautiful night, chatting on the porches of the buildings, ringing the bell in the chapel (a favorite for younger guests) or inside on the dance floor.
