Emily -N- Blake / Inn at Wild Rose Hall / Austin Wedding Photographer

So we decided on the beautiful and rustic hill country venue of The Inn at Wild Rose Hall. I wore a short dress. The groomsmen wore jeans, the bridesmaids wore mix match navy dresses. And there were

Cowboy Boots! Lots of them. Both bride and groom wore Lucchese ;) I always loved the vintage feel of a birdcage veil, so I picked that, and rocked it, I must say.We served Matt's El Rancho, one of our favorite Austin Tex Mex joints. We served amazing cupcakes by the ever so talented Megan DuBois of Queen of the Frontier, she also created the rustic and beautiful display, mostly a collection of family dishes.

Did I mention I collect Coca Cola antiques? Because let me tell you my favorite part of our wedding. Well, other than marrying my knight. I had my florist Zinnia and Co. fill old wooden antique Coca Cola crates with beautiful baby's breath, billy balls, and candles. It was exactly how I pictured it in my head. Rustic, vintage, simple, casual, welcoming, warm, and unique.

We danced the night away and our wedding party did not dissapoint. We closed the place down with a 20 minute encore of Michael Jackson classics. Everything was perfectly and seamlessly stages and executed by Leah Robertson from Austin Elite.

I think one of my favorite moments was walking towards Blake, my arm wrapped up in my father's. This was it. It was finally here. And amongst all this planning and details, it came down to one thing. He was handsome, he was strong, he looked not-nervous. He looked happy. He looked ready. I am so proud of the man he has become and I can't wait for the years ahead of us

blog love - Off Beat Bride - Austin Wedding Photographer

A little love from Off Beat Bride this morning.

A skyped elopement was shot and broadcast from The Inn at Wild Rose Hall.

Amanda -N- Jason - a destination elopement - Inn at Wild Rose Hall - Austin Wedding Photography

Amanda and Jason met on an online dating service. Perfect match. They love the same things, they laugh at each other's jokes. They are so fun. To say that Amanda is obsessed with owls would be a gross understatement. When Jason proposed to Amanda he rented and wore a gigantic owl costume and she only knew it was him cause she spotted his shoes underneath. She said yes and the date was set for July 3. Then somewhere in the mix they decided to instead elope. They found a location, The Inn at Wild Rose Hall in Austin, Tx from Offbeat Bride. Austin was not a place that either had ever been. They picked it out of the clear blue sky from only having seen the  pictures on Offbeat Bride. They invited all of their guests to an engagement party on May 15 in WI. Jason even took a call from one of their guests and said "Yeah, we're right around the corner."

They and their 2 guests, myself and their officiant turned off our cell phones and turned on the cameras and the rest is history. It was a  elopement. They also had a reception for friends and relatives in WI on their planned July 3rd.

Amanda is a DIYer and she made her bouquet, the boutonnieres, handbags for she and her "bridesmaids," and invitations.  She carried it all to Austin in their suitcases. She wore her Grandmother's pearls and a very Marilyn gown. They hired a personal chef to prepare their first meal as husband and wife, The Red Headed Chef. What did they have you ask? Diner food. Omelets, bacon, home-fries, and local artisan bread. And to complete their quadruple threat of great Austin vendors, The Knot Tyer. He really took the time to get to know them and was able to connect with them even before they came for their wedding day. It was one of our favorites.

Kelly -N- Jeff Married! - Inn at Wild Rose Hall - Austin Wedding Photography

Kelly and Jeffrey met while she was tending bar in Washington DC and attending school. She vowed she would not date a customer, but slipped him her number on a CC receipt and the rest is history. They currently live in the Bay area. They chose to have a wedding in Austin, Tx because she has family here.

It was important to them to leave a small carbon footprint so she used all locally-sourced vendors. Including hand-picking wild flowers from a Arnosky Wildflower Farm. Their entire vegan menu and cupcakes came from Green Island Catering. They also wanted to work with local woman-owned businesses The Inn at Wild Rose Hall and She-N-He among them.
