In addition to the theme, there were two other elements that raised the roof off of this mother. Kurant Events rocked the food like no other. There is no other catering company that can make comfort food (sliders, frito pie, and the like) glamorous like these guys.
To round out the night, one of my favorite bands ever performed. The Spazmatics brought the house down and made sure all the booties were shaking. I love those guys and I loved everything about Melissa + Jason's wedding day.
Thanks, also, to my fantastic friend Kathryn Krueger for helping me shoot this wedding. The amazing shot of Jason at the beginning of the ceremony is all hers.
I really adore you, Melissa + Jason, and hope that we can meet up in ATX for some fun sometime soon! Hugs to both of you.
Their wedding day at Vintage Villas in Austin was filled with heartfelt moments, gorgeous scenery, and loads of laughter. Adding to the festivity was Nadav's family, who came all the way from Israel, as well as many of Jen's family members from all over the U.S. I adored the winter wonderland theme that Jen and her friends Lisa (the rainmaker...girlfriend worked her tail off with the event design + production) and Ruth (fab floraliscious mama) created. It was magical in so many ways and helped set the stage for all of the day's little miracles to unfold. I was beyond honored to be there to capture them as they did, and am so glad I now can call Jen + Nadav friends.

I also have to give props and triple snaps to Elizabeth Elias of Caplan Miller Events for making this thing go off without a hitch. There was never a dull moment, and the AT&T Center looked stunning! Flawless!
Here are my favorite images from Megan + Mike's day. It was soooo hard to narrow them down that it has taken me quite a bit of time to pick them out, but here they are! Enjoy, and Happy Holidays!
