One year later, and we’re still feeling every bit of the magic. ✨

As we revisit these favorite moments from Alyssa & Dylan’s unforgettable wedding weekend at Horseshoe Bay Resort, we’re reminded that the most beautiful celebrations are about so much more than the details—they’re about the people, the promises, and the love that fills every room. The happy tears during the vows. The quiet moments of romance between all the excitement. The joy on the dance floor. The laughter shared with family and friends.

Happy First Anniversary week to a couple whose love shines just as brightly today as it did on their wedding day. ❤️ And as always, a huge thanks to Lauren at Eclipse Events for making the party such a smooth success!

Now this is the kind of ladies night I’ll ALWAYS

Now this is the kind of ladies night I’ll ALWAYS say yes to. ✨

An unforgettable evening spent listening to some of the most incredible female songwriters and artists of this generation share the stories behind the songs that have shaped so many lives. From heartfelt inspirations to hilarious behind-the-scenes moments, each songwriter took her turn around the table, revealing how a lyric, melody, or life experience became a song we all know and love.

Featuring the legendary LeAnn Rimes, Miranda Lambert, Shelby Lynne, and Natalie Hemby, this intimate saloon-style songwriter round was a rare glimpse into the creative magic that happens long before a song ever reaches our ears.

Moments like these remind me why I love documenting music, storytelling, and the artists who bring both to life. Truly grateful to have witnessed and captured a little piece of history as so many talented worlds collided in one extraordinary event.

Happy anniversary to these love birds! Ever wonder

Happy anniversary to these love birds! Ever wondered what you do when it rains on your wedding day? You grab the clear umbrellas and run outside during the breaks in the sprinkles ☔️✨⁠
⁠
A little rain didn’t slow this celebration down—it made it even more romantic. The soft drizzle, the vineyard air, and a glowing tent tucked in the middle of Camp Lucy’s vineyards created the dreamiest atmosphere for the evening.⁠
⁠
Sometimes the most magical moments happen in between the weather—those quick dashes outside, the laughter under umbrellas, and the way the light reflects off the raindrops. It turned into the warmest, most intimate night surrounded by vines, glowing lights, and all the love.⁠
⁠
Proof that a little rain on your wedding day just adds to the story 🤍

Happy Anniversary Amanda & Jamie! We're floored ye

Happy Anniversary Amanda & Jamie! We're floored yet again as we look back on their colorful, joy-filled wedding at Hotel South Congress 🌈✨⁠
⁠
Pearl Events transformed the space with a ceiling covered in a rainbow of metallic streamers, creating the most playful ballroom and modern backdrop. The aisles and a semi-circular altar outlined with the most gorgeous spring blooms by the one and only Bouquets of Austin. Vibrant & lush florals paired with all that shimmering color overhead made the entire room feel alive.⁠
⁠
What began as a whimsical ceremony instantly shifted into a full-on festive dance party the moment the celebration began. I whole-heartedly believe that the best design choices are the ones that spark joy the second you step inside. Still smiling thinking about this one 💐✨

Let’s have a moment for these sleeves, shall we?

Let’s have a moment for these sleeves, shall we? 🤍✨⁠
⁠
These delicate lace beauties were the perfect little touch to add some extra VA-VOOM to an already stunning wedding look. Carolyn's intricate lace detail brought such an elegantly stylist vibe to the dress while still feeling fresh and modern.⁠
⁠
We love when brides add unique design choices that take their dress up a notch and make it truly their own. Carolyn’s sleeve moment pictures here is proof that sometimes the smallest details make the biggest impact.⁠
⁠
And can we talk about how killer they are? These sleeves simply pull on and off whenever you want—ceremony elegance one moment, reception-ready the next. Talk about versatile fashion! Tell us: what unique design or fashion choices did you make to elevate your wedding dress? 💫⁠

There are so many parts of wedding photography you

There are so many parts of wedding photography you’ll never see 🌸 Until now that is!

Like bringing a bouquet home at 1am after a wedding and putting it straight into the fridge so it stays fresh until we have time to properly style the invitations the next day. Sometimes the timeline on a wedding day just doesn’t allow for it, but beautiful invitation photos are always a must on our shot list. Enter our little tradition we like to call “Sunday Styling.” We pull out the florals, search for the perfect mix of big and small blooms, add any monogrammed goodies & props, and carefully arrange everything to highlight the colors, textures, and personality of your invitation suite.

These are a few behind-the-scenes clips straight from our phones — the quiet, creative moments where we slow down and style each detail so your paper goods get the spotlight they deserve.

And if you love stationery as much as we do, you might just enjoy a little invitation inspiration too ✨

Rehearsal dinners always feel like the true beginn

Rehearsal dinners always feel like the true beginning of the celebration. 🤍 This swoony evening at Lonesome Dove Steakhouse set the tone for an incredible wedding weekend — full of warm hugs, long-overdue conversations with out-of-town friends and family, and that unmistakable excitement in the air.

It’s often the first chance everyone gets to slow down, reconnect, and soak it all in before the big day. And honestly… who doesn’t love an extra night of great food, great company, and more photos to remember it all? ✨📸

The last of this year’s winter weather seems to

The last of this year’s winter weather seems to be passing us by in Austin, so let’s just pretend it’s not 90 degrees and that we’re cozied up on this romantic aisle overlooking the mountains at the luxurious @steinlodge in Party City, UT. Big thanks to @elleusa for picking up this wedding for bride’s winter wedding inspiration!⁠

Want the most epicly Texan wedding portraits ever? If you are getting married around the Lonestar state in late March or early April, bluebonnets are in full bloom and make for the most beautiful wedding photos!⁠
