So it seems that I need to have another wedding…..Why you ask? Well, I was lucky enough to be asked to photograph the AWEC (that’s Austin Wedding and Event Coordinators) Media luncheon last week.
It was super interesting because a panel of wedding industry vendors were talking about trends for the upcoming year plus some really compelling reasons for hiring a Wedding Coordinator (We’ve discussed this I know, but a reminder never hurts)
I, of course, ate it all up. It made me want to have another super stylish, fabulouso wedding with lighting and a European wedding dress. That’s probably not going to happen, but at the very least, I got some great ideas and tips for you all and got to hang out with a few of the AWEC ladies, who are great.
Info is after the photos- enjoy!

Geri A. Vela, owner of Alexia Gavela. I was so excited to meet him as several of my brides have purchased their dresses at his store. He will find the perfect dress for you – seriously. Women that get their dresses at his shop have a dress that is perfectly suited for them and it’s always tailored impeccably. Plus, after meeting him, I can tell you that he is a sweetie. Run, don’t walk.
These are what put me over the edge as far as wanting another wedding.
Erica & Josh!! They were part of the Bride & Groom panel because they are awesome. As a little sneak peek – their wedding is going to be published in a magazine very, very soon!
