Dana and Jeremy came all the way from Washington DC to get married at the Four Seasons Hotel, so I was overjoyed when the Austin weather was on it’s best behavior for their big day! The couple chose to have a first look to calm the pre-wedding jitters, and I love how Jeremy sprang his arms open in surprise when seeing Dana for the first time. While Dana’s cute little baby nephew stole a lot of hearts that day, Dana was the real show stopper in her one shouldered asymmetrical wedding dress. After 8 years of friendship, the couple tied the knot on the back lawn surrounded by fabulous Lady Bird Lake views and accompanied by Allandale Quartet strings. We were even able to get some perfect sunset photos right as the bats were taking off of the Congress Street bridge… LOVE! The wedding guests all enjoyed a patio happy hour as the sun began to set, followed by a dinner where they ordered off-the-menu entree options (wow!), some sweet and hilarious toasts, and most definitely a mega dance party complete with clothes coming off! It was super fun seeing wedding guests Sandhya & Guarav again, as we had so much fun together on their airport engagement session 2 years ago (wow, how time flies)! Big congratulations to the happy couple, and their super sweet family and friends!

The look of love on Elizabeth & Dustin’s faces throughout the day is enough to melt about any heart, and most definitely the heart of this photographer! Theses sweet families were so full of smiles, joy & excitement that it was totally contagious. Guests were greeted with an iced tea fountain under the Vista at Seward Hill gazebo, which this southern gal thought was genius! Bouquets of white lilies and blue hydrangeas perfect matched the bridesmaids blue dresses, and felt perfect for the incredible spring weather. Something to Celebrate coordinated the day to perfection, and Word of Mouth provided a yummy buffet dinner of deliciousness. Afterwards DJ Anthony introduced a very sweet first dance, followed by a big ole dance party complete with crazy awesome dance moves! The ring bearer couldn’t keep up and eventually passed out next to the extremely loud dance floor – ha! – and during the last song, the crowd spontaneously gathered around the couple and ended the night with a group bear hug surrounded by all their loved ones. It was pretty much as perfect as it sounds. Big congratulations Elizabeth & Dustin!
