Clay and Elizabeth had such a fun and lovely wedding at the bastrop convention center. The whole place was covered in lovely vintage decor and the band was fabulous. There was even spontaneous limbo dancing that happened during the night. It was definitely a good start to the spring wedding season!
This Austin spring wedding was so much fun! In the middle of the father and daughter dance, a brass band suddenly showed up and a New Orleans style second line parade happened. The guests were surprised for a moment, and then they quickly joined into the the parade.
Katie and Adam had a lovely vintage themed wedding at the Allan House, with wonderful little DIY touches. I was fortunate to be assisted by the talented Jenny DeMarco, and here are a few of our favorite images.

Great photo! congratulates. Beautiful shot.
When Noelle and Adam suggested the Dallas Arboretum for their engagement session, I wasn’t sure what to expect. But it was definitely not the glorious blooms of color that were exploding everywhere. It definitely was different from the rest of Texas that is dry and bare right now. I love the colors!
