I got married at vintage villas!

So, the WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER gets PHOTOGRAPHED and MARRIED!

I got married on May 24, 2009. It was very intimate, emotional, and fun. All of our vendors were AWESOME and went above and beyond for us, such as our wedding coordinator, Lauren, of Vintage Villas, Tony Ku of Ku Photography and Amelia Tarbet of Amelia Tarbet Photography photographing our every step, Stacey Hogge of Petal Pushers producing the beautiful colors of flowers, and Simon and Judy Lee of Simon Lee baked us an awesome chocolate ganache with chocolate mousse filling yummy cake. Mike Rinehart did a fabulous job of making us laugh and cry by officiating over our ceremony, and Ryan Waguespack kept the background going with some classical guitar.

It’s really awesome to plan a wedding and to have the chance to work with many of my favorite vendors!

Here’s some of the fabulous images from our special day, captured by Amelia Tarbet of Amelia Tarbet Photography. I’ll post some from Tony Ku shortly.

Mary Jane and Mike started off the day at one of my favorite places for BBQ, the Salt Lick in Dripping Springs, Texas near Austin, Texas. It was beautiful day and the temperatures were mild. Stacey Hogge of Petal Pushers did an awesome job with the flowers.

I wish this couple the best!

amanda + jake | lady bird wildflower center | engagement | austin texas

Amanda and Jake wanted to take advantage of the 2-3 week annual window of bluebonnets in Austin for their engagement session. We had a hard time finding bluebonnets this year because of the lack of rain, but we found some great patches. We also captured some fun portraits over at the Lady Bird Wildflower Center. It’s great that Lady Bird Wildflower Center allows you to use their awesome facility for free if you are going to have your wedding there. I’m excited that we will get to work with Bethany of 36th Street Wedding Planners again, Stacey Hogge from Petal Pushers, and awesome lighting from Ilios Lighting.
