JW Marriott & Waller Creek Boathouse Wedding (in extreme weather conditions)

This Memorial Day weekend wedding happened to coincide with the infamous storms and floods here in Austin, probably the most difficult weather conditions of any weekend in Austin in the last 15 years. Amidst a pretty crazy weather day (think guest phones going off with tornado warnings during toasts), I love how they took it all in stride and were up for anything! We worked really hard to get some amazing images that they will love forever, and the wedding was raging success anyway! This is why you hire experienced photographers that can pull off awesome photos no matter what crisis happens on the wedding day!

The bride and bridesmaids started with hair and make-up at Milk & Honey Salon, followed by the couple’s first look at the new hotel, the JW Marriott Austin. They had a moment of  privacy in their room where the groom got to see the bride for the first time. Then we all adventured up to the amazing pool area for some portraits with the stunning downtown Austin views, rain and all. That’s what umbrellas are for, right? :) The ceremony was moved inside at the adorably unique Waller Creek Boathouse (located right on Town Lake), where the couple tied the knot under the giant light-up letters spelling out LOVE… how sweet! And I loved that the guests enjoyed the ceremony from their dinner seats – genius. A delicious dinner was served by Royal Fig, followed by passed desserts. The couple was able to enjoy their first dances outside under the deck tent, before the heavy rain and winds moved in. Guests, and the groom himself, helped Live Oak DJ quickly move indoors and escape damage, so the late night dance party could begin! On their way out, guests enjoyed Cool Haus custom made ice cream cookie sandwiches before being shuttled back to the hotel courtesy of Star Shuttle, where Sarah works! You can tell from the big smiles on their faces that the weather didn’t keep them from having the happiest day of their lives at their Waller Creek Boathouse wedding!
