This beautiful bride is Christy. We had the distinct pleasure of being able to photograph her at the Wildflower Center in May.
You might remember her from the blog post I did of her Save the Date card, (http://stellaalesi.com/wordpress/?cat=80). She
and her fiance JC are currently residing in Dubai, but she came back to Austin for this portrait session and to prepare for the
wedding.

The wedding took place this past weekend at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center. If you have never been out there, you really
should make the trip. No matter what time of year it is, it is always beautiful. This was late June, so the echinacea and indian
blankets were blooming.
JC and Christy had a fairly large wedding party, 28 in all including themselves. A good friend served as officiant, and wore
a custom made stole with their names, wedding date and an image of interlocking rings. I loved the seersucker suits the
groomsmen wore, and the adorable, colorful skirts of the bridesmaids dresses. The ceremony took place inside the gallery, which
has a spectacular view of a field of native grasses and large Live Oaks. Keeping with the season Kurant Events served peach
cocktails. They also created a French Fry station; five different kinds of fries with at least as many types of salt. Yummy!
The reception took place in the courtyard with plenty of mingling and dancing. And as a special treat, the groom’s sister and her
band the Boo Who’s, played a few songs, and happily they rocked!

Congratulations Christy and JC!

Jamie and Jason traveled from St. Louis to be married at the Umlauf Sculpture Garden here in Austin, Texas. Guests as well
came from afar and the day proved to be worth their travels, with the garden lush and flowering from all the recent rain.
I have posted below just a few of my favorite details and portraits from the wedding day. It was a relaxed affair that strayed from
tradition and  showcased the Bride and Groom’s personalities. The band, The Spazmatics, were absolutely fun and I am certain they
kept everyone dancing long after we departed.

Congratulations Jamie and Jason!

location: Umlauf Sculpture Garden

Devon and Charles were married on Thursday, November 5th at the Chapel Dulcinea. A date that has significance in the film
“V for Vendetta” of which Devon and Charles are fans. Check out the masks the bride and groom bought along to be
photographed in. They made for some fantastic photos.

Blessed with the most beautiful weather, their intimate event for 12 of their closest friends and family was a day to remember.
The Bride and Groom were absolutely stunning and a pleasure to photograph.

Congratulations Devon and Charles!

Hannah and Nick contacted us about a year ago to photograph their August wedding in their home town of Lubbock, TX.
I had met Nick at the Santa Fe photo workshops a few years back when I was working there.
We flew up to Lubbock for the long weekend to capture the rehearsal dinner and the wedding day. It also allowed us a
little time to do some photo exploring in the downtown area.

Nick and Hannah met in high school during drivers education. Before the actual wedding rehearsal we went over to their
high school to commemorate their beginnings.
