Elegant Camp Lucy Wedding

From Shaun Menary Photography…Jennifer and Gardy Garcia’s wedding was a breath of fresh air; they did something personal and beautifully reflective of their personal style and beliefs. Jennifer’s parents are the Senior Pastors and founders of Abundant Life Christian Center in LaMarque, TX, so the ceremony location was a given. The couple opened the ceremony to their entire congregation, or extended family, as far as the Garcias are concerned. They then hosted a reception in the church’s lobby, where guests enjoyed cake (the CUTEST cakes!) and a plethora of other goodies. For their formal reception, the couple’s family and close friends enjoyed a waterfront dinner at Olympia Grill in Galveston. Floor to ceiling windows and a wraparound deck offered the guests stunning views of the ocean while they enjoyed fresh seafood served up from the restaurant. The entire affair was heartfelt and lovely, and we were happy to be the ones to document it. Cheers to the Garcias!

Romantic Spring Wedding on a Budget

From Mint Photography…Alisa and Gary’s wedding was on of our favorites by far! It was the perfect mix of elegance and nature combined. Alisa’s dress was a gorgeous Enaura Couture gown with outstanding detailing. Her yellow diamond Tiffany engagement ring was one of the prettiest we’ve seen! The uniqueness of it was exceptional! Gary was just as dapper in his Vera Wang suit and colorful bow tie. To top all of the amazing details off was the loving connection between these two! It was such a joy to photograph this gorgeous wedding and this sweet couple!

I really can’t put my thumb on just exactly what it is about this wedding that makes my heart race. Every time I think I have it figured out, some other romantic detail, a perfect color, a beautiful bloom catches my eye and steals the show. All I know is the gallery from Bella Reese Photography is my new favorite place to be.

From Bella Reese Photography… This wedding was the epitome of romance. From the colors, to the meaning behind their cake topper, to the couple themselves. This bride was on a strict budget but knew exactly what she wanted and found amazing vendors to help her achieve exactly what she wanted, along with the help of her family and friends for some DIY. The Vineyards at Chappel Lodge is absolutely gorgeous, with it’s great vineyard, large pond (frogs included!), abundance of trees and the amazing sunlight. When I first came in and saw everything she had done I quite honestly got butterflies and knew it would be nothing short of amazing. Tiffany (the bride) wanted her wedding to reflect romance and the love for one another and I think she really accomplished that! I couldn’t have asked for a more romantic place to have the honor to shoot at.

Bohemian Texas Engagement Session

From Nostalgia Film…Mimi and Clint had a beautiful and heartfelt wedding day at Nature’s Point on Lake Travis. Mimi was stunning in her beaded Jenny Packham dress. Their ceremony was humorous and touching, and I literally got chills from their ceremony musicians, Deric Lewis and The Church Choir, who lead the unique processional with “Oh Happy Day” and “All You Need is Love” and the recessional with “Happy” by Pharrel Williams with a dancing wedding party! (Featured in their 20-minute film; the highlight film is below.)

The reception was quite the party with dancing on a patio over Lake Travis fueled by the sounds of Sauce. And one of the most unique takes of the photo booth/sketch booth trend was The Original Butt Sketch artists working the reception!

The day was captured beautifully by Diana M. Lott Photography (and Stacy Sodolak). For cinematography, we (Nostalgia Film, Little Black Book member) captured the day on a combination of Super 8mm film and HD video. It went perfectly thanks to Barbara Hearne of Barbara’s Brides (Little Black Book member as well).

Mimi and Clint’s joy was palpable on their wedding way, and we wish them many, many years wedded bliss!

Inspired by one of the most iconic couples, John Lennon and Yoko Ono, this free-spirited Bride and her handsome edgy Groom have stolen my heart with their bohemian-loving ways. Hello, gorgeous blooms, floral crown and peace sign from Posh Floral Designs! And did you see those adorable signs?! It’s all boho perfection in the form of this pretty gallery from Jennefer Wilson.

From Meggie Francisco…When I first met Amber and Clinton, I fell in love with their adoration for each other – and with their style! Amber is such a boho babe with an incredible fashion sense, and Clinton has more edge, more rock n’ roll. He’s actually a traveling Videographer for DJ group Caked Up! Their chemistry immediately reminded me of one of history’s most iconic and romantic couples: John Lennon and Yoko Ono. We took this inspiration and ran with it, pulling out all the stops with modern “protest” signs, a tribal bohemian picnic in the middle of the hills, and a moody creek setting (which inspired some seriously steamy shots!). It was so much fun to watch these two celebrate their engagement and I can’t wait for their wedding in October at the Dallas Arboretum!

From The Bride…Clinton and I first met in elementary school. I thought he was the cutest little baseball player! We “dated” while I was in 4th grade (he was in 3rd). I don’t even know if we had even held hands! We just knew we liked each other and each of us thought the other was cute. I remember he gave me his baseball card with a sweet little note. We stayed friends throughout elementary and middle school, and then parted ways while he went to Sachse high school and I went to Rowlett high school. Our mutual best friend, Katie Wynn, reunited us in spring of 2009. We were both single and things just clicked immediately!

On our 4-year anniversary, Clinton had the whole night planned. We went to dinner at Kobe steak house in Addison and then stopped at the Nylo Hotel downtown to drop off our bags and have a drink on the roof top while watching the sunset. We ended up “running into” our photographer friend Cagle up on the roof top. He said he was supposed to shoot a model, but she had totally bailed! He asked if he could grab a couple of pictures of us just for the fun of it since it was our 4 year anniversary. He started posing us, and while we were laughing and being sexy for the camera, Cagle asked us to do one last pose that he “always does with all of his couples.” He told us to put our backs to each other for a few shots, and then asked us to turn back around. When I turned, there Clinton was, on one knee, asking me to marry him! I was speechless and completely shocked. Of course, I said YES!

Sweet Diner Engagement Session

When it comes to picking that perfect spot for an engagement session, just about anywhere is possible. Just take this photo sesh captured at the couple’s favorite brunch spot, Liberty Kitchen. It’s romantic and modern, and Miabella Photography documented memories these two will hold onto for years to come. See it all here!

From Miabella Photography… Our gorgeous couple opted for a morning session so we could not only take advantage of lovely morning light but also so we could hit up their favorite brunch spot before the crowd poured in. Liberty Kitchen in Houston let us come in before the opened to have full reign of their venue (and honestly, its gorgeous.. I want to live there). The bride wore a short white 60’s inspired sheath by Nha Kahn which she rented from Rent the Runway. For a pop of color, Lacey wore blue pumps by Kristin Cavalari for Chinese Laundry. The brides hair and make-up were done by Mely Cruz Artistry. These two adorably laughed and snuggled their way through this session making my job very easy!

Nature Preserve Wedding in Texas

From Christina Carroll Photography…Lauren and Bobby had a glamorous wedding at one of my favorite Austin venues, Villa del Lago. Lauren’s wedding dress might be the most beautiful and unique dress I’ve ever seen. She looked absolutely stunning in it. The couple decided to do a first look and I loved Bobby’s reaction to his beautiful bride. The ceremony site looks over Lake Travis and was a perfect fit for this glamorous affair. After the cocktail hour the guests went to the lawn where there was one long table where everyone sat with chandeliers hanging above. The wedding was personal and creative and I was so happy to be apart of the day!

As the first couple to wed at Dogwood Canyon Audubon Center, these two left a seriously stylish mark on the venue. Ashley Braithwaite brought in pops of watercolor design, with escort cards in soft pink and handmade ceiling fixtures to match, while eclectic centerpieces and beautiful blooms by Lizzie Bees added another layer of charm. See it all in the full gallery captured by Shaun Menary Photography!

Rustic Wedding With Pops Of Pink

From Shaun Menary Photography…Erin and Mike are one of the most delightful couples we’ve had the pleasure of photographing. They are kind and goofy and oh so in love, and their wedding day was truly lovely. They incorporated so many sweet personal elements. The two have a history of travel, both together and individually, and they incorporated “travel” in some design details of their reception. My favorite was their sign in table: they had guests sign in by writing messages on vintage postcards collected from the Design District that would be sent to the couple after their honeymoon. Also, the couple made custom lettering, decorated with a collage of vintage stamps, to hang on the wall behind the head table (those letters currently adorn the wall above their bed…clever, huh?). Another nice touch was the table numbers. Each card had a corresponding fun fact about Erin and Mike’s love story, according to each number. For example, the Table 2 card share the number of times Mike visited Erin in Peru. So cute.

They were the inaugural couple for the new event space at the Dogwood Canyon Audubon Center in Cedar Hill State Park. The ceremony site could be described as “a concrete hole in the ground,” but it’s so much more! I think the couple themselves best described it as “The Thunderdome of Marriage”. The couple had their close friends and family down on a wooden platform at the bottom of a concrete basin, which was covered in wild foliage and trees. The remaining guests took a standing position on the balcony above and got an ariel view of the ceremony.

The reception room is so very nice, and since one of the walls is floor to ceiling windows that let in the surrounding nature preserve, it needs little help. But Ashley Braithwaite, the event designer and coordinator, brought in a pop of color and took the room from beautiful to stellar with her handmade ceiling fixtures, crafted in the colors of the wedding. As far as the centerpieces, Ashley and Erin chose an eclectic set of wooden boxes and ceramic and glass vases, and then they chose the flowers from Lizzie Bee’s Flower Shop and had the florist construct the arrangements. Erin and Mike’s personal style, and the natural wooded beauty of the venue made this wedding aesthetically beautiful. But it was ultimately Erin and Mike and their perpetual cuteness that made this wedding so memorable.

Packed with a glittering punch, this rustic wedding is covered in some serious sparkle. And when the bride is an aspiring event designer, you know the party will be pin-worthy perfection down to every. last. detail. Combining creative DIY decor with florals from Charming Events, the venue shimmered in gold and popped in pink, and you can see ALL the prettiness unfold in the gallery by Haley Rinn Ringo!

From the Bride…After meeting Jeremy at the young age of 12, we quickly became the best of friends. We soon learned that there was more to this little friendship of ours and started dating our freshman year of high school. After being boyfriend and girlfriend for what seemed like an eternity….11 years to be exact, he finally proposed on the most beautiful day in December. This wedding has been a long time coming and to us was something that held so much meaning. There were a lot of things leading up to this point for us, our family and friends that we all needed a day filled with love, laughter and happiness. We wanted this day to be a day that everyone would remember and would leave filled with so much love in their hearts. Yes! This day was about Jeremy and I starting this journey together of creating our own family but it was also about everyone who was there.

When searching for a venue, I wanted something that felt very pure, something that was one with nature but also something with a bare canvas so I could really create the vision that I had in my head. We ended up choosing The Springs Events located in Poetry, Texas. It was so breathtaking with all the beautiful trees it’s surrounded by as well as the sweet deer that frequently take little strolls across the property! It was beyond beautiful and then the “Wedding in the Woods” idea was born! It was such a labor of love created by everyone around us and so for that I also found my self creating many little details, like the neon pink escort cards that I painted with watercolor and then hand wrote each persons name with calligraphy gold ink. I also created small hand painted tree trunk place markers that were at everyone’s seat. I wanted these to be little gifts of love that they could take home along with a little mason jar filled with my Mom’s famous homemade chocolate chip cookies. Our friends and family mean so much to us and we wanted them to really feel that.

I glittered just about everything you could glitter, I hand drew out our invitations with a mixture of print and scroll writing then had them printed by a local printer which I then tied each one with a hand dipped ombre’ muslin strip of cloth. The Cake topper as well was super fun! I was able to draw it out and then have a family friend cut it out of metal which I then of course gold gilded it! You can’t go wrong with gold! I made big humongous tissue paper flowers that would line the staircase and sorted through many old funny photos from over the years of Jeremy and I that were then attached to a chicken wire that hung at the entrance. My Mom and I made the wedding cakes.

Mostly all of our vendors were small local businesses, for instance our florist Alicia, she is a single mom who works a full time job and then comes home and works full time running Charming Events, a Flower and Event shop out of her home. We met a lovely lady Laurie. She is a stay at home mom who runs Pretty Little Plates, a vintage china rental company, out of her home. She is so sweet and has the most beautiful China I have ever seen. Our food we used a local restaurant, Chiloso, they serve delicious Mexican cuisine. Every one who works there is so awesome and was the perfect addition to the big day. Our Photographer Haley Ringo is a student who is about to graduate from The University of Texas where she will continue to live out her dream of capturing the most beautiful moments through her camera. We have since become great friends and she has been such a blessing to our lives.

With all that said I think it really added so much fun and even more meaning to our special day. It wasn’t just about how perfect the big day ended up but it was about the journey getting there that was half the fun. These are people that we probably wouldn’t have met other wise and so for that we are very thankful for their friendships as well as all the hard work they put into our special day. We will forever be grateful and thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Sweet Texas Wedding at Vista West Ranch

From Lindsey Shea Photography…This photoshoot was completely inspired by the romanticism of Romeo and Juliet’s love story. Their story enchants even the biggest love skeptics. I wanted to do a more modern take on their romantic tale of how two starcrossed lovers become united forever. From details like the striped bowtie to the gorgeous rustic florals, it shows how romanticism can be found from the 1920’s to the modern day. Thanks to all of the vendors for making this modern day Romeo and Juliet styled shoot a success!

Intimate Ranch Wedding in Texas

From SMS Photography…Elissa and Forrest said their I-Do’s at the gorgeous Vista West Ranch. They wanted a laid back affair that represented them both so perfectly. They opted for a first look to have extra time to take portraits and the light that day did not disappoint. A small wedding party and a guest count of under 125, let the couple relax and see everyone. Elissa wore a stunning and elegant dress that fit her personality and grace so wonderfully. Forrest looked very dashing in his custom suit with all the accessories. Just a perfect day full of lots of smiles and warm embraces.

I love seeing how couples incorporate personal details to make their day that much more special to them. A beautiful showing of sentimental value is this next cute, country wedding set at The Spur, the family ranch, and decorated by Wolfe Florist (aka the mother of the groom). The heartwarming celebration had priceless details that made the day truly unforgettable, and you can see all the treasured memories, from Jared Tseng Photography, here.

Country Wedding in Wimberley Texas

From The Bride…Since we lived far away from our family and friends, and because of Jeremy’s service in the Army, we really wanted to incorporate a lot of personal touches to our wedding weekend. We wanted it to be a relaxing time for everyone who traveled to Waco since we had guests coming from Ireland, England and all over the US. We saw this as an opportunity for our families and closest friends to meet and blend.

We decided to have our ceremony and reception at Jeremy’s parents Ranch, The Spur, because it has always been a relaxing getaway for us and a beautiful sight to see. We used antique silver and china from both sides of the family to include some of the loved ones who couldn’t be with us on our wedding day. Our theme was sort of a like a country garden party. We didn’t want to overdue the ranch theme or be too “matchy-matchy”. I used my grandmother’s rosary on my bouquet, and wore my mother’s pearls. Jeremy’s Father became an ordained minister before the wedding, so he married us under the pecan wood arch he built and surprised both sides of the family. It was really special. Jeremy’s mom was our florist with the help of family and bridesmaids the night before. We put together lavender sachets for guests to throw as we came up the aisle as Mr. and Mrs.. Jeremy’s grandfather created our new initials out of wood, which hung behind us at dinner. We did a lot of antiquing in Texas and DIY-d chalkboard signs, table numbers, hay seating and lighting décor. One of my bridesmaids painted a tree for guests to sign and stamp. For the unity part of the ceremony, we watered a potted tree to symbolize our growing love that we will continue to nurture.

We are such foodies, so we really wanted to make sure all of the food served on the wedding day and at the rehearsal dinner was local and consciously raised. I arrived to the ceremony, and we left in Jeremy’s grandfathers 1940’s Ford that he restored himself. Jeremy’s father came up with the brilliant idea to serve beer in the bucket of the tractor, which was pulled up next to the original 1900’s barn, turned bar for the reception. We built a couch lounge out of hay for guests to sit on and sip margaritas while enjoying the lawn games put out for cocktail hour. Guests enjoyed s’mores after cake and tons of dancing before the night was over. Both our mother’s were so wonderful to pick up on all the small details leading up to the big day. Our wedding couldn’t have been the most perfect day of our lives without our family and friends to be there and for all of their help. We have never felt so loved.

Dallas Engagement at White Rock Lake

From The Bride…Ted and I met when we were both working at a bookstore here in Austin. I had just moved back home after college in New York, and Ted had managed to work his way down here from Fargo via Minneapolis. Needless to say, we’re both total nerds and revel in finding that other person who effortlessly “gets” your weirdness.

Everyone says your wedding is your day, all about you. But we both knew that probably the biggest reason we were throwing this party was for our family and friends. So throughout the entire planning process, we tried to keep our wedding party and guests very much in mind.

The venue was perfect. I knew I wanted an outdoor wedding, which in Texas means any time except summer pretty much. The Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center in March is as lovely as it gets. (My “something blue” was a pressed bluebonnet in my shoe.) Somehow, it had rained every weekend in March and then for our wedding it was absolutely gorgeous. We had guests from places as cold as Minneapolis, Massachusetts and even Iceland ready to move down here :)

With my bridesmaids, I wanted them to feel beautiful so I just gave them a color palette, and I was really happy with the result. Ted’s dad runs the men’s clothing store that’s been their family business for about 100 years, so he generously helped out a lot of the groomsmen with their suits.

When I started planning, I made one Pinterest board (naturally), but as I delved deep into the world of wedding blogs, I found I had to create a spinoff board just for all the florals. Flowers, flowers, flowers, all the time. My uncle, an award-winning pastry chef, made the wedding cake, and even though he’s so talented and could do anything, I made him just do white fondant so I could decorate the cake with flowers.

Luckily, I found Bird Dog Weddings. From our first meeting, I knew Emily had the same vision that I did and it was such a relief to just let her and Sarah do their thing and know it would turn out perfect. And they didn’t call me crazy when I gave them a list of flowers I didn’t want to use based on their Victorian meanings, haha (sorry anemones).

And Julie, our photographer, was such a delight. I wasn’t even going to send her a query because she was based in Florida, but I just loved her photography that I had seen online so I figured I might as well just in case. But she was happy to travel to Austin and was so sweet that she just put all of her subjects at ease and made them look wonderful.

When everything came together, it was even better than I had imagined. You can plan and plan and plan, you can attend millions of other weddings, but there’s really no way to prepare for the sheer joy of marrying the person you love.

Inspired by the same themes they’re infusing in their wedding day, this e-session is the epitome of classic. Set in a romantic garden at White Rock Lake, we can’t get enough of this pretty shoot. From the lush greens to the lakeside sunset, the backdrops are to die for. Click here for all the beautiful shots by Marcie Meredith Photography.

Romantic and Elegant Lubbock Texas Wedding at The Historic Watson Building

From The Bride…Reid and I met the old-fashioned way– online! My college roommate had met her now-fiance’ online a few years ago, and as a result she had a prepaid match.com account sitting unused. She put it back to work by changing all the profile information to mine! She told me to log on and start using it, since I’d be getting messages whether I liked it or not. A few emails from Reid and a single date with him later, my online dating career came to a quick end. A year and one cat later, Reid asked me to marry him standing in the Cervantes Rose Garden in Barcelona. We’re now happily planning a summer celebration with our family and friends next Memorial Day weekend! Our engagement shoot was inspired by the same themes we’re involving as we plan our wedding– a fresh take on classic with romantic, lush, garden vibes and saturated colors.

I am pretty darn sure I’ll be spending my entire day devouring each and every stunning image sitting in this gallery from Marcie Meredith Photography. Because not only is there a whole lot of pretty tucked in that gorgeous collection of images, but there is also a whole lot of love. The result? A wedding I simply can’t get enough of.

Vibrant, Spanish-Inspired Wedding Inspiration

From the Bride…James and I met during our first year of medical school in Lubbock, Texas and started dating two years later. Living in Lubbock was such an important time in both of our lives that we knew there was no better place to get married. We spent 7 months planning our wedding while interviewing and applying for residency positions across the United States. Because of the difficult process of “Matching” into residency, we were not sure if we would be living in the same city, let alone the same state, once we were married. It was a bit stressful. Regardless, we wanted our wedding day to be a celebration of the love that we have for each other and our family and friends.

We found the Kent R. Hance Chapel to be intimate with a sense of elegance that set the mood for the evening. We also wanted the ceremony to be fun, in matching with our personalities. Our sign in “book” was a wooden Texas (we’re moving to Georgia and wanted to take a piece of Texas with us.) My Daddy and I fist bumped before he gave me away, and James and I walked out to “You’ve Got What I Need” by Freddie Scott.

The reception was located at the Watson Building with beautiful hardwood floors and tall ceilings.
We had 3-foot diameter balloons floating high above the tables with ivory ribbon hanging down. This was definitely my favorite touch to our decorations. Lou Dee’s Floral also created gorgeous arrangements with champagne, blush, raspberry and gold colors in both the reception and ceremony spaces.

The evening was spent out on the dance floor, and enjoying laughter and love with our friends and family. It could not have been any better. Most of all, the best part is we’re now married and get to spend the rest of our lives together!

Elisabeth Carol Photography is producing some serious pretty today by way of this stunning, spanish-inspired shoot from the Taylor Lord & ,Jess Barfield workshop, and it’s so good I want to kiss her for it. Styled to perfection by Lindsey Zamora, this gallery is beyond beyond. See it all here.
