A lover of all things vintage and Austin, Amanda and Timur used this awesome vintage Austin postcard as their RSVP cards. LOVE!

A few months ago, I entered a super fun contest called ‘Emerge’. It’s different than ones I’ve entered in the past as you were required to enter 10 images from the same wedding in each category rather than a single image. The point was to craft a story with your entry.
I found that intriguing because that’s what I strive for when I’m shooting a wedding. I’m certainly not a strict photojournalist – I love fun portraits and amazing shoe shots and cool ring photos. However, preserving the story of one of the most important days in a couple’s life is something that is very dear to me.
So anyway, long story short, I won ‘Honorable Mention’ in the ‘Venue’ category. I didn’t take the Grand Prize, but I’ll take 4th. I’m pretty proud of fourth.
I chose Amanda and Timur’s purple Laguna Gloria Wedding as my entry for this category. This was a gorgeous wedding made so beautiful with Amanda’s vision and the awesome planning and execution of a great team of vendors including Prive Floral and Becky Brock with BZ Events. Plus, Laguna Gloria was a natural choice for a ‘venue’ category’.
Here are the images.

Before I get going on this post, let me tell you one of my resolutions. Never, ever, will I get so far behind on blogging again. Evah!
Daniel and Leah, where to begin? Daniel and Leah were referrals from some past clients of mine (the always delightful Erica and Josh) and knowing their group of friends as I do, I could not wait for this wedding. I knew fun was in store and I was not wrong. As you will see, personal, thoughtful details and an incredibly honest and emotional ceremony were also dialed up. It could not have been a better night. I am so thrilled for these two. As I heard many times during the night, this was a long time coming and everyone was over the moon for the wedding.
The day was wonderfully coordinated by Gina and Jayme from Clink Events. All details were taken care of and the day flowed beautifully. Other vendor information is at the bottom.
Thanks you so much you two. I was honored to be a part of your day. I thank you for your friendship and fun this last year. Keep enjoying your beautiful life together.


These shoes get their own collage.


First look! Huzzah!




As with much of their day, Daniel and Leah chose to personalize their ceremony. They walked in from either side of the ceremony site flanked by their parents. It was a wonderful visual to symbolize two families coming together.



Cutest table cards ever. Each table name was a pair, like PB&J or milk and cookies. On the flip side was an adorable illustration.


Apples? Oh yes. It was the return of ‘The Ocho’ and apple roulette. For the full story, head on over to Erica and Josh’s blog post.



There is just something about this photo that I really like.
See? Super fun friends + good dancing music = dancy fun!

Note Leah’s second dress. CUTE!


As a surprise to Daniel (and the guests), Leah arranged for a New Orleans style jazz band to lead them out. I love how they squeezed every last drop of fun out of this night.
