Detail of the Week: Anniversary Wine Bottle ‘Guest Books’: Austin Wedding Photographer

I am currently working on David and Elise’s wedding album and I remembered their super cute ‘sign in bottles’.  This wedding was so fun. People from New Orleans just know how to have a good time.

These two had their guests sign bottles that had 1, 5 and 10 years on them. They planned to drink the wine on those anniversaries and then keep the bottles.

I love this. I am coming up on my 10 year anniversary next year (seriously??!!) and I think it would be so fun to have a nice bottle of wine and reminisce about the people at our wedding.

Elizabeth + Martin: Wildflower Center Wedding: Austin Wedding Photographer

You can always tell when I haven’t blogged in a while. Generally, I start the post talking about how I haven’t blogged in a while (check!) and then the post is massive because I get excited (check!).

Elizabeth and Martin are two delightful souls that couldn’t be a better match. They have a calm and warm presence that made working with them such a pleasure. Martin also has a wickedly dry sense of humor that kept me on my toes. They met in running class (at Rogue running, a program which I have also trained with and loved – highly recommended) and the rest is history. You’ll see a really cute nod to how they met in their exit – make sure you make it to the end of the post. They had an amazing wedding at the Ladybird Johnson Wildflower center. I remember when we first met, Elizabeth told me how they didn’t want to fight with the natural beauty of the Wildflower Center.  They decorated with bright and soft pinks. It was a cheerful pop of color against the stone and greenery. So pretty.

Bethany and her team from 36th Street Events made sure the day ran smoothly as always. Thanks so much for your help wonderful ladies. You make my job easier.

The love and happiness from all of the family friends in attendance made this a very special day to be a part of. Thank you Elizabeth and Martin for having me along.

A cutie of a little girl that is very special to Martin and Elizabeth. Pie lollipops! Yes, please. A wishing well! Yes! Such a great idea for the pond. Thank you fabulous, golden, sunset lighting. I mean…I die. I Love. This was all them, by the way. Cowbells and ribbon wands were given to the guests for the exit. Elizabeth and Martin dashed to the finish line (aka getaway car) wearing adorable custom racing bibs.  Venue: Ladybird Johnson Wildflower Center

Detail of the Week-Recipe Escort Cards: Austin Wedding Photographer

I’m three weeks in! Now it’s a tradition. I’m having a lot of fun choosing these posts each week.

Lisa and Nayon celebrated their marriage and the creation of a new family all at once. They each have two children of their own and together, they made an amazing blended family of six. Their wedding at Lakeway Resort and Spa was a family celebration as much as a marriage.

For escort cards, they had envelopes laid out on a table with a recipe book inside entitled ‘Table for Six: Our Favorite Recipies’

Hell-O! So cute. This could easily be translated for a couple that loves to cook.
