Austin Wedding Photography: Sandra & Hiawatha

Sneak peeks from Sandra & Hiawatha's wedding on Saturday, April 16th! This adorable couple tied the knot at a beautiful park in Manor, Texas. After meeting in high school marching band, they quickly became friends, and have been together for 9 years! The bride's uncle married the two on a deck overlooking a beautiful lake. Sandra & Hiawatha incorporated a unity rope ceremony, as well. They are so nice and gracious, not to mention fun and romantic together. I'm so honored we could be there to capture these special moments between them. It rained a little bit, but I heard it's good luck when it rains on your wedding day ;) Here are some of my favorites, which one's are your favorites? Let me know what you think & leave a comment!

Austin Bar-mitzvah Photography: Dylan

Sneak peek photos from Dylan's Bar-mitzvah on Saturday at The Oasis on Lake Travis! We are so honored the Salem family asked us capture this right of passage in Dylan's life. What an exceptional kid; he is so well spoken, funny, and charming! The party was really fun, all their family and friends had a blast. It was a Texas Chic theme, equipped with a horse ice sculpture, decor that matched, they even had a two-step instructor, ice cream, and more. It was fabulous :) Here are some of my favorites!

Wedding Photography: Longhorn Cavern State Park

Sneak peek images from Heather & Brandon's wedding yesterday, at the Longhorn Cavern State Park in Burnet, Texas. This was a very sweet and intimate wedding mixed with some old and new traditions. The bride handmade the flowers, boutonnieres, decorations, robes for her bridesmaids and even decorated her own high-top shoes! They also incorporated legos into the ceremony & cake topper. It was very unique and special! The couple even did a unity lego heart ceremony together with their children. It was a really sweet ceremony. Here are some of my favorites ;)
