Natalie and Tim

Natalie and Tim planned a magical fairytale wedding to take place at the Smith Family Chapel at Riverbend Church and the Austin Club. We were so excited to share the day with them, and impressed beyond belief out how truly magically the fairytale played out!

The day began with happy tears, as Natalie slipped into the perfect customized princess dress  by Essence of Australia, with the help of her mother and bridesmaids. Even their pretty pooch, Belle, got dressed up and adorned with flowers. Tim made a very charming prince, entertaining families and guests before the ceremony. After the exchange of vows, everybody made their way to the Austin Club (already a beautiful venue, but totally surreal with the lighting and decorations – like walking into a dream!). The room was generously sprinkled with romantic flowers and candles, like some kind of fairy dust, by Craig from Photosynthesis.  There was a fairytale cake, of course – a glass slipper set atop a stack of pillows, made by Michelle’s Patisserie. Josh Wilkensen from Penguin Entertainment played a great mix of music (that naturally included a selection or two from Disney) while guests danced under a blanket of stars in front of a castle made of light… At the end of the night, Natalie and Tim made their exit through a shower of rose petals and into a horse-drawn carriage. What a perfect start to their happily ever after!

Jacob and Joanna – engaged!

Jacob and Joanna are actually from the same hometown, Elgin, and met once – but didn’t connect and really get to know each other until college.  When Joanna got to UT, she realized it was about 50,000 times bigger than any place she’d ever been before, so she reached out to her fellow Elginites for some help meeting people. Jacob had an intramural volleyball team that he invited her to play on, and they’ve been together ever since!
Jacob and Joanna love hiking, so when Jacob suggested that they go to Enchanted Rock for a day hike, Joanna didn’t really think much of it (although she might have sort of hoped…).  They began their typical off-the-trail hike around 3pm and went all over the Rock, just enjoying the sights and sounds, and one another’s company.  Joanna had her UT ring on, and at one point, Jacob said she maybe shouldn’t have worn nice jewelry out there, since it would get scratched up.  Pretty much every thought of a possible proposal left her mind, at that point.  But, when they broke for a snack on the edge of a cliff, the weather was perfect, the scenery was perfect, and Joanna thought to herself, “It’s the perfect time, maybe today’s the day.”  Jacob looked at her and smiled and her heart skipped a beat.  He said, ”You ready to keep going?” Joanna laughed at herself and agreed to keep going.  So they kept hiking, and she resigned herself to the fact that the proposal was planned for another day. After a final steep climb up one face of the Rock, and 3 hours of hiking, they took a rest on a rock at the peak near sunset.  Joanna turned away to grab her water and was jokingly complaining about how tired she was.  Jacob said, “Well, I know what will make you feel better.” Joanna turned back to see him, holding a beautiful diamond engagement ring!

Nikki and Cameron

Their story, in Nikki’s words:

“Cameron and I met in 2008 at the University of Texas in Austin. Through our network of mutual friends we developed a deep friendship based on our love for God and our natural ability to have a great time in any situation. After dating throughout our last year of college, Cameron finally popped the question while we watched the sunset on Lake Travis. I could barely sqeak out the words “Absolutely! Of course!” as my knees seemed to give way! After the most beautiful wedding anyone could pray for, we are happily living our lives together, enjoying all the new adventures that come with being married to your best friend.”
Alex HammondFebruary 3, 2012 - 5:33 pm

Courtney and Edwin

Courtney and Edwin met in the Army. Their recruiter gave Courtney Edwin’s number, so she could answer his questions about Officer Candidate School.  They became instant friends over the phone, but didn’t meet in person until a few weeks later… Edwin invited her out to Sushi with a group of his friends, to celebrate his birthday. She had to call him for directions, so Edwin navigated Courtney through the restaurant’s crowded porch until they finally saw each other. Edwin and his friends cheered when they saw her, glad that she was as attractive as she had sounded on the phone! After food, drinks, and live music on 6th street, Courtney was witness to Edwin’s claim to fame: the ‘lotion dance’!  When she drove him home later that night, he leaned in for “the kill”. He  was a bit inebriated, and figured there was no way Courtney could resist his good looks, but Courtney turned so that he smashed into her cheek.  He said “No lips?”, got out of the car and said through the window again, “no lips?!” before going inside.  He was pretty sure he had blown it, but Courtney agreed to meet him for lunch the next day. He’s pretty sure it was the lotion dance that won her over…

One day, Edwin took Courtney to the Fort Worth Botanical gardens, and gave her a handmade photo album.  Halfway through the album, Courtney realized there was a photo poem! She began to read it out loud… at the end of the poem, Edwin was on his knee with ring in hand!

Their wedding took place at the Barton Creek Resort.

Rachelle OsborneJanuary 22, 2012 - 10:29 am

I love all these pictures!! :)

Sarah KueblerJanuary 8, 2012 - 11:32 pm

James and Sharleen – engaged!

James & Sharleen met, as so many people do nowadays, via the internet. It was inevitable that a girl who is infatuated with computer nerds would find a computer nerd via an online dating site. They started slow at first, meeting for coffee and walks around town. Casual dating turned into a relationship and love. They traveled a bit, met each other’s family and started learning each other’s quirks. Turns out, they were a great match! Sharleen hated doing dishes but didn’t mind laundry, and James hated laundry but loved working in the kitchen. On their first anniversary, they went away to Canyon Lake for a weekend. It was there that James surprised Sharleen with a ring. He originally asked “Would you marry me?”, to which Sharleen replied “Now?”. James then clarified “Someday”, and showed her the ring. Sharleen said “Yes, I will marry you someday!”. Someday is April 28, 2012.

JB BruceDecember 18, 2011 - 1:29 am

Super awesome pics. Love the venue!

Aunt JanDecember 16, 2011 - 6:18 pm

So creative! I love it :)

Melissa E.December 16, 2011 - 7:03 am

I had the pleasure of meeting Sharleen when we were in high school. One of my fondest memories of her is when she had to memorize part of “The Raven” by Edgar Allen Poe (a part I now have memorized myself) and quoting “Monty Python and the Holy Grail” during lunch. I’m so glad she found someone who is such a fantastic match for her. These pictures are unique and wonderful. I love the photo of Alice and the engagement ring – a stunning bauble, by the way.
Sharleen and James, I wish the two of you nothing but the best as you journey through life together.
