I love it when people bring their pets to their weddings!  And so does Brides.com.  They’ve done a feature on pets at weddings, including two of our couples.

- Jennifer and Scott and Blue…the biggest ringbearer, ever.  And possibly the cutest!

- Allie and Brian and Pablo…slightly smaller ringbearer, but quite capable at capturing all the attention on the wedding day…read Allie’s story for a good laugh.

Pretty cool…we were selected to be part of The Cream Event.  Curated by the talented team at bash, please.

Here’s happy anniversary wishes to Jessica and Dwight, married one year ago today.  All of their friends and families pitched in to create a love-filled day, starting with a morning ceremony in a historic schoolhouse church, followed by an 80s party at Momo’s. So many great moments, but I thought I’d post just a few of my favorite images.  To see more of this beautiful wedding, check out the amazing features on Bow Ties and Bliss and Oh Lovely Day.

I received an amazingly thoughtful gift from Paige and Zach, who got married this year at Laguna Gloria.
Paige designed their gorgeous wedding herself.  It’s so good, it’s been featured on Project Wedding and 7 Centerpieces!  I included some images below just for fun.

The gift they sent me was a stunning picture frame by artist Michael Aram.
And, how cool is this… Paige and Zach put a picture of yours truly in the frame!
It’s an action shot of me photographing Paige in her gown.
I’m pleased to say that I don’t look fat (see, even photographers worry about how they look on film).
Even better better yet, it brings me right back to that special day with great people enjoying a beautiful Austin day.

I am touched that they appreciated me and created such a personalized gift for me.
Big hugs to Paige and Zach!

Austin has so many cool places to shoot for an engagement session that it can be overwhelming.  For Karen and Stephen, they wanted a little bit of South Congress and then a bit more romantic to match the art nouveau theme of their wedding at Laguna Gloria.  Which is today!  As a child I was fascinated with art nouveau after seeing a whole section on it in a book, so I’m looking forward to this!

Plus, Karen and Stephen are sweeties. They met at work and had to keep it secret.  And finally they didn’t want it to be a secret anymore, so they both quit their jobs!  Love that, so romantic!

Happy Wedding Anniversary to Sarah and Ryan!  They created a very personal, meaningful and noncheesy wedding one year ago today.  They have a great sense of humor and a fantastic sense of style. There were succulents, moss, gluten free desserts, white pumpkins, a silver pig and an old fashioned Southern porch complete with columns, blue ceiling, ferns and rocking chairs.

In fact, their wedding was so amazing it was featured on the launch of Style Me Pretty’s Texas blog.  Pretty special!  They also had the cutest flowergirl, complete with teddy bear.  Here are some of my favorite images, with many more on the Style Me Pretty blog.

Wow, one of my brides wrote an amazing story about having her father be the officiant at her wedding and it’s on The Huffington Post!  Huge congrats to Elisha (and her hubby Buzzy).  Their ceremony was so personal because of Moshe, her dad.  It was the greatest gift a dad could give.  Read the story…Elisha is a wonderful writer!

Just pleased as punch to see the beautiful feature for Paige and Zach’s Laguna Gloria wedding on the 7 Centerpieces blog.

If you’re getting married or you just love pretty things, go now to Bhldn, Anthropolgie’s bridal boutique.  I went to the one in Houston and was in awe over the unique little details on every dress.  Plus they have accessories and wedding favors and all kinds of goodies.  Even the window display was lovely!

The McNay Art Museum in San Antonio is a visual beauty.  What a treat to be asked by the McNay to photograph the buildings for a new brochure!  Here are some of the more artsy images that were just for me.
