WEDDING EDITORIAL: Fresh Fall Elopement
Woah. I can't even tell you what a dream come true this shoot was for me. Early into moving to Austin, I contacted Kali of Kindle and Gather, a wedding designer, to help make a vision come to life. We met over the next couple months at so many coffee shops to work out details, specifically our dream team of vendors we were dying to work with. Countless cappuccinos later, and this shoot came together without a hitch. It was featured over on Grey Likes Weddings a few weeks ago! From the table runner with a favorite poem scripted on it [written below], to the lush organic florals, to the cake that ended up being my dinner later that evening, this shoot was everything I dreamed of and more. Here are some of my favorites from the day, including a list of amazing vendors at the end!

Hand-lettering something like "The First Marriage" across a linen runner feels so much more personal than the usual monogram, and it makes me want to try something similar for a small backyard ceremony. The line about repeating those magic sounds has stayed with me since I finished reading.
