Hooray! Merrill and Blayne!! These two are some of my favorites, both as individuals and as a couple. They were married at The Ladybird Johnson Wildflower Center in a romantic night-time ceremony.
I had an instant connection with Merrill when I met her. I’m so glad she and Blayne chose me to photograph their wedding because we spent several afternoons laughing and having fun during their planning. I’ve said many times that Merrill has the most infectious smile that I know and Blayne is sweet and tons of fun. He also busted out the dance moves at the reception, which I always appreciate.
Merrill and Blayne opted for a first look since their ceremony was at night. As usual, it was a great choice and the whole wedding party had tons of fun playing out in the fields. The ceremony was softly lit, meaningful and beautiful. The reception that followed was a huge celebration and even a blown fuse only stopped the party for a few minutes. Merrill left the reception in her Grandmother’s vintage fur which was to die.
Thanks so much to Merrill and Blayne and their families for having me along for such a fun year. Best of everything to you both.
Ah! Shannon, as always, everything looks stunning! We love our pictures more and more each day, and are so proud to display them in our home in Fort Worth! Thank you again for EVERTYHING!
Aisling and Chris were married at St. Austin’s church followed by a reception at Green Pastures in South Austin.
These are two of the most interesting and adventurous people I have met. They are also two people who are unbelievably loved by their friends and family and a true perfect match for each other. During the toasts at their reception, we heard about decades old friendships, their love of travel and how Aisling can sink a jump shot in the clutch. I also knew this wedding would be fun because Aisling’s family is Irish. Having married into an Irish family myself, I know they bring the party when they come to a wedding and this family did not disappoint. The White Ghost Shivers had to play an encore because this raucous group would not let them leave. Fun!
Chris and Aisling moved overseas right after their honeymoon in Turkey (I know!) and although I know they are homesick, I know they are going to have an exciting life together. Thanks so much for letting me be a part of such an amazing day!

LOVE the creativity of the ring shot – and your black and whites at the beginning of the reception are beautiful!!!
Kristen and Brad are incredibly fun and make me smile bunches. We spent a windy, but gorgeous day all around Austin shooting their engagement photos. What we didn’t realize was that Austin Comic-Con was also going on just down the street from where we were shooting. We saw all kinds of more weird than normal Austin-ites out and about. You’ll see one of my favorites a few photos down.
They will be married this May at Riverbend Chapel followed by a reception at Kristen’s family home, which I cannot wait to photograph. Everyone I’ve met that has a part in the wedding (mom, sister, Grandma, Brad, Kristen) has just been awesome and I’m so excited to see how everything comes together for an amazing wedding day.
Thanks you two! See you soon!
These are gorgeous!!! Love the one with Skeletor!
What a sweet and stylin’ couple! Love these!
[...] viewing these photos, check out their amazing chemistry and style! Riley is a friend of Kristen and Brad (whose adorable backyard wedding will also be coming up this month) and I can tell why those two get [...]
Hey remember how it didn’t rain allllll summer and then we had that one weekend where it poured?
Well that was the day that the darling Jill and Matt had scheduled their engagement session. They came in from out of town too. Boo weather! We tried our best, but didn’t quite get what we wanted so we rescheduled for a day that turned out to be extra beautiful.
The bonus side of our reschedule was that I got to spend a little extra time with these two. I am very much looking forward to their September wedding!
Love the last shot, Shannon!!
Today is a cold, damp and rainy day in Austin and it makes me long for our typical warmer, sunny days. Let’s look at a warm Chapel Dulcinea wedding shall we? Maybe make yourself some hot tea too. I did.
Aurelie and Jarod are an extremely special couple to my family. Aurelie or ‘Miss Young’ as she was known to my daughter, was Little S’s preschool teacher for two years at her French immersion preschool and is someone that we will always be grateful to for teaching our daughter French. Jarod and I were in French class together too, but alas, we are not as good as either Aurelie OR my daughter.
Aurelie and Jarod had originally planned a wedding in France, where Aurelie is from, but due to logistics and time and just wanting to be married, they decided to have the wedding sooner in their adopted hometown of Austin. I’m so glad they did, because it meant that I was able to be there. Family from London, Pennslyvania and France all flew in to attend.
These two incorporated things they loved about Austin, with some lovely French traditions and inspirations. Aurelie’s sister Skyped the ceremony for her Grandmother in France and we all got treated to a Bordeaux region toast over creme brulee cupcakes and champagne.
Small, French-speaking pre-schoolers abounded and it was just a lovely, lovely morning. I was thrilled to be there and wish these two nothing but the best in life.
If you’ve spent any time around here, you know how I love shoes. Enjoy some of my favorite footwear from 2011 weddings.
Happy New Year!
