Kelly -N- Stephen / Green Pastures Wedding / Austin Wedding Photographer by Melanie Grizzel

Our wedding was in the planning stages for quite awhile - we were engaged for over two years (since 9/18/10) before our big day.  I really wanted the event to reflect a combination of our personalities - casual, laid back, and natural - but still special.  I knew Green Pastures was the perfect location because it felt like coming to someone's home rather than a stark event center.  It felt warm and cozy, despite still being able to accommodate our 130 guests.

The colors (teal and yellow) actually were inspired by the colors of my shoes.  I was shopping just a month or two after our engagement, and I fell in love with these polka-dot Seychelles shoes.  At the time, I wasn't looking for wedding shoes, but these were perfect.  I used them to help pick out the bridesmaids dress color and the yellow ties for the guys.
Going with the "natural" look, Bouquets of Austin did our floral arrangements and did an absolutely perfect job.  I wanted lots of color, and a "gathered" look.  I pretty much gave them a blank slate and they didn't disappoint!  It was wonderful to walk into the room at Green Pastures and be greeted by the smell and sight of our beautiful bouquets!  A few of my other favorite details: my garter, knitted by one of my bridesmaids, Trisha; the cake-topper of two teal lovebirds, custom ordered from Orly Design on Etsy; and the guys' Texas cuff links, ordered online from who-knows-where by Stephen.
Of course, it threatened rain all day on Saturday, and ended up pouring right during the window of time our ceremony was supposed to be outside.  Stephen and I both love the outdoors, and it was a bit of a bummer to not get to have the ceremony under the beautiful live oak trees at Green Pastures.  But, I do have to say that the indoor ceremony was intimate and beautiful, and was everything we wanted.  We didn't know what our officiant was going to say, and his speech was perfect.  Again, the folks at Bouquets of Austin really did a wonderful job accommodating the last-minute rain changes!  And the fact that it rained made our after-ceremony photo session even more intimate because all the guests were still inside.  I thought it was so great that we randomly found that UT umbrella to use in the pictures - perfect touch!
And of course, there was plenty of dancing!  That might have been the most important thing to me: there had to be dancing!  Heck we even did Gangnam Style. If anything it just went by way too quickly.
Finally, we got to make our get-away in an awesome teal Cadillac from Vintage Rides of Austin.  Even though our hotel was only about 5 minutes down the road, the driver (who happened to also be the owner, Ed) took us for a spin through downtown.  It was really a magical way to end our night!  We got to have a little time to just bask in all that had just happened.  People waved to us and shouted congratulations as we cruised down the streets.  It was a perfect ending to a perfect night!  Our only regret: hopping on a plane the next morning at 10am to head back to North Carolina.  A leisurely after-wedding brunch might have been nice :-)

Christine -N- Don / Stonehouse Villa Wedding / Driftwood Wedding Photography by Melanie Grizzel

Christine -N- Don

Absolutely sublime wedding at the Stonehouse Villa. The weather was a little unseasonably chilly, but it didn't stop this crew from dancing all night long. Stonehouse Villa is a fairly newish venue in Driftwood, it offers beautiful sweeping views of the Texas Hill Country landscape. The interior, formerly a furniture design studio, is an intimate and sophisticated canvas.  The couple used the space perfectly with a minimal touch of flowers and table runners, totally my style ;) The flowers and some vegetables from Central Market were variations of green and white. A single center piece in the middle of a grey tweed table runner from Premier Party Central was intoxicatingly beautiful! Pink Avocado provided a delightful meal complete with butternut squash lasagna (truth be told it was my first experience with it, YUM! I found a recipe and made it myself a few days later). It was the perfect menu for a surprisingly chilly evening.

Christine and Don met in a church group and quickly found they were perfect for each other. Don has quirky sense humor and Christine with her warm heart is the perfect yang to his ying. Enamored I tell you. Congratulations you guys I am excited to follow your life together.

Julia -N- Cristihan / Nature's Point Wedding / Austin Wedding Photography by Melanie Grizzel

Houston-dwellers Julia and Christian chose to celebrate their wedding in Austin on Lake Travis so they could provide their guests with a destination feel.  Their wedding day was truly made special by their guests that traveled from near and far to share in the occasion.

The wedding theme was inspired by the Bride and Groom’s heritage, she being English and he being Colombian. The ceremony took place at Nature’s Point’s beautiful outdoor arbor and English garden, which was complimented by white roses and Royal purple orchids provided by Bouquets of Austin.  When it came time for the bride to walk down the aisle, good fortune was showered on the couple (literally!!) when a rain storm moved through the area. Lindsay Blackwell from In Her Shoes Coordination moved the the couple's guests swiftly and efficiently back inside, the ceremony was quickly reset and the bride had the pleasure of walking down the aisle a second time. The ceremony was followed by a cocktail hour where English fish & chips and Colombian empanadas (the groom’s own recipe!) were the featured hors d’oeuvres from Austin Catering.  Day turned into evening when the vibrant and colorful reception began.  The happy couple, along with all their family and friends, danced the night away to an array of Salsa and Colombian music by Houston's DJ Johnny Black.
The wedding was described by many as magical and unforgettable, and the couple say they could not agree more.

Ragan -N- Harley / Lighthouse Hill Ranch Wedding / Johnson City Wedding Photographer by Melanie Grizzel

Ragan -N- Harley - Super sweet and unbelievable crafty folks.

The couple showed up for their wedding at Lighthouse Hill Ranch two days early with a trailer in tow. In that time they constructed a hinged set of double doors for the couple to walk through on their way to the alter; a farm table to compliment their shabby/ chic theme, which they MADE from SCRATCH; lastly and most notably, they design and built their own alter, which was built to enhance the 360 degree views from the top of  the Johnson City, Tx high peak. The stage had to not only be beautiful but also structurally sound, it held both Harley and Ragan and their entire wedding party plus the "Knot-tyer".  The stage was built from recycled palette wood and also features a chandelier for the couple to stand under while receiving their vows. All of these projects were completed IN TWO DAYS!   Recycled glass bottles for flowers stacked on recycled books from goodwill, handmade napkins in the couple's signature mustard/grey/ivory, table numbers in frames made with buttons, and recycled tin cans with doilies as candle holders all graced the tables of the reception area. The handmade napkins after the wedding will be recycled back into a quilt for the couple to have in their home. Harley's mom constructed the napkins and personalized clutches for Ragan's bridesmaids. All the decorations, guy's boutonnieres, and table centerpieces were also handmade by Ragan and Harley. The BBQ style food from Werner's Catering was outstanding and Classic Cakes by Lori created an absolutely awesome tongue in cheek replica of the Harley Davidson logo for Harley's groom's cake! All of the DIY goodness was executed flawlessly and in a timely manner by Britany Krause, Social Butterfly Events. Ragan and Harley say they couldn't be happier with their day, it was ALL them and some careful choosing of some awesome vendors! Nice Job Everybody.

Camille Styles / Halloween Party Ideas! / Austin Wedding Photographer by Melanie Grizzel

I don't know if you've ever seen "The Birds" by Alred Hitchcock... I saw it at the Paramount Theatre in late summer. I'm not afraid of birds and the movie didn't scare me, but coming out of the theatre in the late summer with all of the grackles flocking in the trees and in the area overhead... well let's just say I noticed them a little more that night ;)

Halloween Inspiration by Camille Styles.

This "The Birds" inspired party shoot was eerie and sexy with it's brooding black and white theme and tiny pops of red. It also suggests a fall/wintery feel - my favorite. Tiny birds littered the scene to reinforce the concept and make it a little scarier. The dining table from LOOT vintage rental was perfect with it's ornate and classic feel. I assure you this is not patinated, that baby is original. The table is beautifully bookended by big poofy black and white striped chairs I would gladly store for LOOT should they ever run out of room in their warehouse. The white walls and stained glass of Mercury Hall were characters all their own in this story.

The bar cart complete with vodka and tomato juice for the luxurious bloody marys. Each place setting came complete with a menu with a tiny accent feather.

All of the snacks including salted caramel apples and black bird suger cookies we expertly created by Sara from Sara Belle's Bakery. Sara explained that birds were easy by comparison, they looked pretty hard to me, until I went to her site!!! WOWzers, I can hardly wait until B's next birthday, I am going to ask Sara to rock out some Star Wars characters.

A couple branches suspended from the ceiling served as a perches for the wandering bird posse. It was a wonderful addition, and gave great dimension to the already spooky table.

The crew doubled as cast and wore their best Halloween holiday fair. Even B asked me when I was editing if she, on the right, was Cruella de Vil.

Byrd Collective's Ashley Bailey created these divine autumnal arrangements in creamy toupe and deep red, low so the hanging birds would have a little room to take flight.

Sara's beautiful and delicious cookies. B loved them, plus when he munched on them, his whole face turned black, it was so cute.

Jen came up with this outstanding idea for a photobooth, the sheer backdrop and bird cut outs shining through. So clever and what an awesome effect.

And just a couple behind the scenes so you can see just what goes into such a wonderous production.

Nyssa -N- Brett / Palm Door Wedding / Austin Wedding Photographer by Melanie Grizzel

Nyssa -N- Brett's wedding at Palm Door was beautiful, theatrical and full of life and promise. Nyssa, together with her family and friends, created the wonderful beaded flower bouquets. They were perfect, even when they snagged on her dress in the middle of ceremony (I left those shots out.) It's like I tell every couple, it's the little things, the slip-ups and folly that make a wedding charming and memorable. It was no different here, Nyssa and her sister giggled their way through unsnagging the ruthless flowers. The couple imagined trees for their theme, and with the help of her sister and brother-in-law they were able to accomplish the look with theatrical flair, blue gobos and tree limb cut outs. Pink Avocado put together a beatiful vegetarian spread for the couple and their guests. The flower girls looked like little fairy princesses in their custom brown bodices and a HUGE bell of tulle in turquoise and brown, and they both lasted the entire night, and in their outfits! Nyssa wore jewels and carried a handkerchief of her grandmother, who incidentally wasn't well enough to make the trek so they skyped the entire wedding back to her grandparents at home. Nyssa's Dad in his commanding stature came into the tiny bridal suite and looked across room to Nyssa's mom and said "Can you believe THIS is happening right now?" Then he launched into the story about how he and Nyssa's Mom met and how amazing it was that they were here, at this moment, celebrating their daughter's wedding. These are the moments I love, this is why I do this. Nyssa, in turn, surprised her dad by making "Yellow Submarine" their Father/Daughter dance. Her dad is clearly a huge Beatles fan. The love in this family and in this wedding was infectious. It was a great event and super fun party, I am so happy for you both.

Now, let's have dinner ;)

Jessica-N-Alex / Vista on Seward Hill Wedding / Austin Wedding Photographer by Melanie Grizzel

Jessica -N- Alex

The Vista on Seward Hill was an outstanding location for their colorful wedding ceremony and reception. The boys started out at Alex's boyhood home where they played in the pool and otherwise goofed around until it was time to learn how to tie a double windsor ;)  The girls holed up at Embassy Suites getting and their hair done and make-up applied by the talented Michelle Cox (and otherwise prepping as ladies will). The wedding party and guests converged on The Vista on Seward Hill for the dreamy sunset ceremony and danced all night. With a 5 am flight to Thailand looming, Jessica and Alex sped off to their future but not before they checked for their passports in their pre-packed bags. It was wonderful working with Three Apples Events, Royal Fig, and the insanely gifted Margot Blair for flowers. Congratulations to you both.

(Almost) Just Married! at Nature's Point!

9.29.12 –5:09pm.

Julia was upset and cried for nearly 2 weeks, the weather man had been predicting the worst case scenario for a long while. On September 29th it rained early, but the clouds parted and everyone reported to Julia that it looked like everything was going to be fine. About 4:40 thunderheads rolled in and started rumbling, but still not rain. The guests were assembled and Julia began her decent to the alter, the first drops started falling, by the time she got to the alter it was a full fledged monsoon. Thanks to the quick thinking of In Her Shoes and the staff of Nature's Point, guest were moved in covered groups back to the terrace, starting with the beaming Julia. The room was flipped in seconds and take two began. The rain was barely a blip at the end of the night, their wedding was beautiful and so packed with love. They know in 40 years years they will have an heroic tale to tell about their wedding day.

Marlene -N- Eric / Mercury Hall Wedding / Austin Wedding Photographer by Melanie Grizzel

Marlene -N- Eric -- Mercury Hall -- 3.4.12

She is a teacher and he is a co-founder of the internet start-up Forecast. They are ridiculously loved by their friends and family and silly adored by each other. Just look at them. They were pure pleasure to work with. Thank you both for having me.

Mercury Hall was a beautiful backdrop for their brunch nuptials on what was a perfect March morning to tie the knot. Marlene and her bridesmaids spent the morning at Hotel San Jose  feeling "easy breezy" and getting their hair and make-up done by Kathryn Lyons and Houston Puryear respectively. A quick but completely terrifying ride from Hotel San Jose to Mercury Hall courtesy of the bride's sister, just in time for a quick first look with her soon-to-be-husband Eric. Friend and Officiant, Jason Callahan delivered a beautiful service to unite the beloved couple. A reading from The Velveteen Rabbit  rounded out the service. They chose Kerbey Lane to cater their delicious brunch. Yum. POLLEN provided the beautiful succulent, billy ball, and peony brimming bouquets, boutonnieres, and corsages. The rest of the floral decor was subtle and elegant from Austin Flower Company. With a nod to Eric's childhood home in PA, the delicious (and gorgeous) pies and cakes were provided by Quacks and Sao Paolos respectively. Friend and DJ R.J. Johnson played an awesome tailored mix of tunes complete with Italian pop hits for Marlene's "Italian Crew." This entire divine event was pulled together by yet another friend and coordinator, Linda Huynh.

Congratulations you guys. Thanks for having me.

Jessica -N- Brian / Barr Mansion Weddings / Austin Wedding Photographer by Melanie Grizzel

 

Positively delightful, clearly. Jessica and Brian have been through a lot in the last year. And here they are, sitting in the back of a limo newly husband and wife. You deserve it. Congratulations!

Their wedding was held at Our Lady's Maronite Church on east 51st street. From there they moved on to Barr Mansion where they feasted, danced (by the tunes of  full circle media), and mingled with their guests. There was love and romance in the air that was perfectly accented with sprays of babies breath, mercury glass, and cream candles courtesy of La Fleur Vintage. It was a wonderful evening, a night where beautiful memories were made.

Jessica / Allan House Bridal Session / Austin Bridal Photography by Melanie Grizzel

Jessica was married in early 2011, she didn't get enough pictures of herself for her wedding and wanted to add a little something to her collection. We went to the Allan House where her wedding originally took place, it was great to work with her. She was terribly nervous to get started, as it is for most folks but she was putty at the end, nice job Jessica it was great to work with you!

K+K / Vista West Ranch Wedding / Austin Wedding Photographer by Melanie Grizzel

K+K

Katie and Kieran met in New York City while working as copywriters for an ad agency. Katie is from Houston while Kieran is from New York. To celebrate the great distance they crossed to come together, and in honor of all the worldly places their guests traveled from, they created a lavish destination affair.

Their centerpieces and table numbers were custom designed maps of locales that the couple hold dear to them including Manhattan, Mexico and Austin. Carrying the theme of travel throughout the wedding, K+K added to their guests' escort cards the couples favorite travel destinations. They also included nods to their host city of Austin with charming cowboy boots, BBQ from Gourmet Gals and Guys, and tabasco sauce party favors. Their awesome wedding color combo of turquoise and pink was in every detail including bridesmaid's dresses, flowers from Petal Pushers and a 4 tiered pink gradient wedding cake by Simon Lee Bakery. The whole affair was pulled together perfectly by Aimee Villa of Lizze Belle Event Planning

Kieran mentioned during their engagement session that Katie requests or plays "Boot Scoot Boogie" everywhere they go in New York. hmmm, sounds familiar. With the Matt Wilson Band at the helm there was not a still moment on their dance floor. It was an amazing Sunday evening with the most perfect sunset. A day any couple would proudly relive again and again.
