Let’s start this story off with two incredibly happy people spending their first moments as husband and wife exploring Texas’ most beloved city. I discreetly tagged along on their adventure, documenting every jubilant moment as cars honked and people cheered their congratulations. No one could doubt their happiness.

Relish the Moment

Although all eyes were on them, it’s easy to see that this wasn’t about the attention but about relishing in the moment together. They hardly noticed their audience, and spent the day whirling, twirling, and kissing the day away together.

Family is important to both of them, and I absolutely love the moments shared between Yvonne and her mom. They have a special mother-daughter bond. As her mom walked her down the aisle, I captured some of the sweetest aisle shots I’ve ever gotten. And when Yvonne and Brendan’s eyes met, that was it. Pure magic!

Yvonne and Brendan, hope you always dance through your days the way you did on your wedding day!

For a traditional Catholic wedding, these two chose the gorgeous St. Mary’s cathedral. This is one of my favorites because of the stained glass windows and spectacular architecture that lends itself to beautiful photos.

For the reception, they invited their closest friends and family to celebrate with them at The Line Hotel who created a gorgeous banquet setup in conjunction with The Flower Studio in Austin. All in all, it was a day to remember. For a full list of vendors, check out the links below!
