Carrie + Eric : Married
Wedding Date: October 19, 2008
Photographers: Thurston* and Mariae*
Venue: Villa Antonia - Austin, Texas
Makeup: Adrienne Pitkin
Dear Stalkers, I apologize for not updating the blog as frequently as I should..and I find myself falling more and more behind. All I can say is that we have had some amazing weddings..and equally amazing engagement sessions, bridal sessions, family sessions, individual portraits..that I am really looking forward to sharing with you ladies (and maybe some guys) out there. And because I will be having my FIRST FREE WEEKEND since March, I think I may possibly (should life not get in the way) more frequent blogs...daily..or perhaps twice daily blogs. (But please don't hold me to this!)
So to kick off my very sincere attempt at blogging more frequently, I am super excited to share with you Carrie+Eric's wedding day images. I have been looking forward to Carrie+Eric's wedding for a long time now. I have loved hanging out with them from our very first meeting and we got the chance to celebrate their wedding on Sunday afternoon out at the beautiful Villa Antonia the day after Michelle+Thomas' wedding. (And yes, that was one crazy run-on sentence!) What made me a little sad was that this was our last wedding of out of Villa Antonia for 2008, and we have sooo enjoyed working with Michaja and the staff at Villa Antonia this year. :) But stalkers, can I tell you that Carrie and Eric had a wonderful Sunday evening wedding - that was just the perfect topping on a double wedding weekend.
Stalkers, meet the lovely Carrie and her husband, Eric!! :)
Carrie's sister and her bridesmaids....buttoning up the millions of buttons that makes up the wedding dress. Seriously, this took like 3 or 4 different pairs of hands...and in shift as well.
I love the monogram on their program! :)
The darlingest flower girls ever...and they were sooooooo good during pictures!! Carrie's "Paw Paw" walked her down the aisle. It was so sweet. :)
I love this moment, when "Paw Paw" is about to give Carrie away to Eric. :) Stalkers, look how thrill he is here!!!
Some sweet moments during the ceremony. :)
Yes, it was a perfect day for a wedding. :)
The first kiss..........but I love how Thurston also got the flower girl's expression here!!!
The wedding party...and no, you are not seeing doubles....Eric has a twin brother who stood next to him as the best man. :)
Thurston took the guys out for some "guy" time........
...While the girls and I hung out. :)
..and girls always deserves more blog love than the guys right? :)
..And of course some must have "couple" time after the ceremony.
I am in love with the look of the boutonnière and the bride's bouquet. Stalkers, how lucky am I that I got two back to back weddings that boasted amazing florals?
Yes, more florals... and the very beautiful cake.
Check out this gorgeousness!!!! I heart her ring and her wedding band.
The reception venue. :)
Mr. and Mrs. Napoleon first dance. :)
...with the flower girls looking on. :)
Let's say, there were some "Love Shack"-ing happening here. :) It was seriously sooo much fun to watch the girls sing Love Shack at the end of the night. :)
The exit.
The best part of the exit is that they really took their time exiting and enjoying the exit. So many times, my couples just "rush" through their exit...but it's always lovely to see the couples enjoying their final minutes with their friends and families. Who says you have to be limited to walking or running during an exit? Dancing and Kissing is perfectly acceptable as well. Plus, it will make your photographer really happy! :)
Carrie and Eric, congratulations! :) Thank you for a lovely Sunday evening. :)
