I’ll say it again…forget everything you know about courthouse weddings. They’re the best! 🏆 The downtown Austin Travis County Courthouse is particularly a great experience for my couples. It’s never crowded, ceremonies always start on time, the judges are super personable and considerate, and the courthouse building is beautiful. Nina & Curtis were married in […]

Ahhhh! I just finished editing Ale & Zack’s engagement photos and need to share them right now. We rescheduled their session twice because of below freezing winter storms. On our third try, we lucked out with a sunny, 70 degree day. In January! It was worth the wait. 🌤️ Ale wore three gorgeous dresses. The […]

The best engagement photos include some type of activity that feels natural and fun. Doing something in your photos automatically makes them more interesting and personal. Bree & Terrence wanted to start their session at Meanwhile Brewing, one of their favorites (and mine!) in Austin. These photos feel like they were taken during a real […]

Jenny & Andrew were married this week, and we took some photos afterward to celebrate! We started at one of their favorite parks in Belton. Their adorable and super well behaved dogs, Carson and Scout, joined them. I’m so impressed by their off-leash abilities. #dogtraininggoals The dogs also wore the cutest tuxedo collars + bowties. […]

There is no “correct” way to get married. I love when couples throw the rules out of the window and create their own wedding experience. Annalin & Spencer did just that! A month earlier, they got married at the courthouse and had an after party with friends at GameOn ATX. I haven’t been there, but […]

Eeek I’m pumped to share Samantha & Francisco’s elopement! They originally planned to get married at the Travis County Courthouse, but then decided to switch venues and have a minister meet them at Chapel Dulcinea. This venue appears on my blog often, because it’s one of my favorite places in Austin! It’s gorgeous all throughout […]

I met Danielle & Nate in the most random way! Not through the internet at all, but in person. Are we sure this is 2023?? A few months ago, I was standing outside of the Travis County Courthouse about to photograph an elopement, and Danielle & Nate walked out the door with a “we just […]

Welcome to your Austin, Texas elopement guide! Austin is a popular place to get engaged and married. I work with LOTS of couples who know almost nothing about Austin before choosing it as a destination for their elopement. I think that’s because Austin puts out a good energy, and that comes across even over the […]
