It was great to walk around and see our work portrayed not only in our booths, but in many of the vendors that we have worked with in the past year, such as Vintage Villas, The Terrace Club, Vista West Ranch, Wildflower Cakes, Lakeway Resort and Spa, Kindred Oaks, Arbor Pointe Event Center, Bella Notte on Main, and Amanda Pye of Austin Makeup Design. Barr Mansion also has a display album, but since it’s so big, they left it back at the Mansion, so future clients can check it out there.

Thanks SO MUCH to Signs Express for printing my new banners so fast and for Stacey Hogge from Petal Pushers for providing the AWESOME flower arrangement for my booth!

Here’s some fun images from my booth setup.  I took them all with my kick-butt Canon G9 point-n-shoot camera.

Stephenie also surprised David with a groom’s cake, which was a big surprise.  He’s a big fan of the Texas Rangers, and she got a baseball field cake made for him, as well as get two personally-autographed baseballs from two of their all-star players!  How special is that?

Another awesome couple in love and it showed.  I’m glad that we photographed this wedding.

We started out at the home of Katie’s mom. Her parents have a lush and beautifully landscaped backyard that was ideal for a background for group portraits. We hung out there for a while and captured a lot of fun moments. The only ‘downer’ was that the forecast was rain, rain, rain and the ceremony was going to be outside at Avery Ranch Golf Club. We waited until the last hour or so before it was decided whether or not the wedding would be moved to inside, or stay outside. Fortunately for us, the rain went north of us, so my streak of ZERO wedding ceremonies with rain was NOT broken (but it finally was a few days later at another wedding – ).

We then headed over to Avery Ranch to meet up with Mark. We felt pretty safe since he and many of his buddies are police officers with APD. One thing that I forgot was that they were going to involve their little doggie in the ceremony. They even dressed him up in a little tuxedo! How cute is that! The ceremony was also preceeded by the beautiful sounds of a bagpipe. Katie’s heritage is Scottish.

The ceremony went with no rain, and we even upset some golfers by doing some group portraits on the 18th hole. I’m glad they decided to NOT hit any golf balls our way during that time! I also did a gopher search, but couldn’t find any. They must have awesome greens-keepers there.

Katie and Mark were then whisked away in their own limo over to Bella Notte on Main, a nice and cozy wedding reception facility in downtown Round Rock. Their reception was unique in that they had all sorts of awesome desserts to choose from (as well as regular food). The reception was filled full of fun and laughter, as well as I know their marriage will.  I’m so excited that they chose us to be their Austin Wedding Photographer.
