Matt & Hanna – Pecan Springs Ranch & St. Mary’s Cathedral Wedding
Congratulations Matt & Hanna! What a picture perfect, destination wedding they had in the beautiful Hill Country outside of Austin, Texas at Pecan Springs Ranch! I am so honored and happy to have captured their love story and enjoyed being a part of their celebration – watching them supported by so many incredible family members and friends. The ceremony at the downtown, beautiful St. Mary’s Cathedral was wonderful and who couldn’t resist taking photos with the legendary beer burros!

Great Bridesmaid Gift Ideas
As a wedding photographer, I love arriving to the bridal suite the day of the wedding and seeing an abundance of cute things to photograph!

I recently partnered with Bridesmaid Gifts Boutique to review one of their awesome bridesmaid gifts, the Sugar Set and needless to say I’m smitten! The process to order the set was really easy and customizable including choosing monogram letter and color. Naturally, I chose all the sparkle options and was surprised by how many options are available so the items match your wedding color scheme. Check it out or send this link to a girlfriend getting married to see all their great options!...
