Chapel Dulcinea Wedding + Trattoria Lisina Reception | Shelby & Adrian

Filed in : Elopement, Wedding

Shelby & Adrian’s intimate micro wedding was one for the books. My team member Emily photographed their wedding, and editing their photos honestly made me pretty jealous that I wasn’t there!

Kelsea & Jose’s Spring wedding at Chapel Dulcinea needs a spot on the blog. Now that I’m on maternity leave, I’m catching up on blogging photos from the first half of the year, and there’s SO MUCH to go through. But am I really on maternity leave if I’m blogging for hours every day? 🤔 […]

Austin, Texas Elopement Guide

Filed in : Courthouse, Elopement, LG Tips, Wedding

Jillie & Michael’s wedding was amazing in every way! It had been raining almost constantly for 2 months, and rain was predicted for the whole day (and for the foreseeable future).
