Lisa Woods and I tromped Sherry and her awesome husband Sean out into a field the other night for a Diva shoot fest! Sherry is super-de-dooper photogenic and has, hands down, the most delightful candid laugh you will ever see. She’s just so fun to be around and I am so excited that her baby girl will be with us in just a few weeks! I love you Sherry!

Sherry and Sean are also great together. It’s going to be such a cute little family!

See what I mean about the laugh?

I share a cute studio in east Austin with two other photographers (Sherry Hammonds & Lisa Woods) plus a great makeup artist (Katie Astoria). Although we all own and maintain our separate businesses, we have named the studio the ‘Urban Wedding Divas’. We even have a fun blog that is all things wedding – go see it here (and bookmark it!)

We had our grand opening party last week and it couldn’t have been more fun. I have a million people to thank for helping us make our big night a success.

Becky Brock of Something to Celebrate: Planner extraordinaire! We could not have pulled everything together without her. We are all around weddings all the time, but actually pulling together a party is a bit of a mystery to us and Becky made everything a-mazing! I know I am constantly harping about hiring a wedding planner, but this experience just reinforced that you MUST hire one if you want a stress free day. We LOVE Becky!!!

Wendee Robbins & Petal Pushers – Take a look at the beautiful flower arrangements that Wendee made for us!!!!!!! For my money, Petal Pushers is THE place in Austin to get your floral arrangements. They are so creative and can work with any dream you can imagine. Wendee also runs her own event planning business, Lucie’s Events. You want a gorgeously designed wedding? Call Wendee!!

Cake by Bridges – see those cute little truffle looking things? They are actually cake calls – teeny little cakes covered in chocolate. They are even better than they sound and there was a little scuffle at the end of the night about who got to take the leftovers home. They were a hit

The Sugar High – Oh cupcakes, I could never stay made at you. This company describes what they do as ‘sugar art’ and I cannot disagree. Guests love cupcakes at weddings and bridal showers – FYI. I have seen grown adults freak out over cupcakes. So beautiful and tasty. Thanks Delana!

Mancino Ironworks – donated the cute tables and benches that we had in our outdoor ‘lounge’ area. We had the perfect weather for hanging outside. They also supplied us with our cute iron shutters that we have in the studio full time. Lounges are really popular at weddings right now – so give them a call if you need some help. Plus they are about the nicest people in the world.

Wildwood Wine & Spirits – Who doesn’t love the wine and cheese people? Seriously yummy and a dream and a half to work with. Thank You!

Unbridaled -The lovely Kim from dress shop Unbridaled let us display an adorable dress and hat (HATS!) from her shop. Want to be different on your big day? Go see Kim.

Dagar’s Catering made us a HUGE tray of cookies (Do you see the theme? We like sweets!). Love them.

Also, a big thanks to all of you who came out to support us. We couldn’t do it without you – thanks a million!

Enjoy the pics – I have photo booth pics coming soon!!!!!

I LOVE this series of Lisa & Sherry
