Save the Date!

ok, because I wasn't able to do the engagement photoshoot until late, it was too late to do get awesome postcard Save The Date Cards/magnets I had planned printed and mailed, so we're doing an e-savethedate! It's green-er anyways, right?
(I am not dissapointed. I am not dissapointed)

Anyways, hardcopy or not, I think they came out nice.
coming soon to an inbox near you.

bridal shower invitations have gone out

My shower will be Sunday, Sept. 5th, at Alyson's house in South Austin.
It's a lingerie shower, so I am nervous. eeeeek!
Bring on the awkwardness!


After the shower we will all head over to the Meatheads Luau in Dripping Springs.

Mittens? Seriously, who puts mittens on their party favors?!?

I ordered the clauddagh on these matchbooks, but recieved mittens. The Knot has good customer service though, they are sending out a corrected set, and I get to keep these.

Now, what to do with 100 personalized mitten matchbooks?

Cake Topper Search over??

ok, so this isn't exactly what I was going for, but I think this may totally work. My buddies Lloyd and Elizabeth have a booth at City-Wide and I saw this little ceramic heart shaped container, with a lid with the cutest little birds on top. So, as it stands now, sitting on top of the cake will be these little birds sitting on a heart.

I will keep my eyes out still, but this is a pretty rad fall-back option...

Engagement Shoot!

Today we had an amazing photoshoot!

The wonderful and talented Stephanie donated her time and expertise to take our Engagement Photos Saturday, Aug. 7.

We started on top of this cliff overlooking the lake, 360 Bridge, and an amazing view of downtown Austin. Then we headed over to the spot where we got engaged and shot a little and told the story. Another short car trip later we stopped at this nursery I LOVE on 360 and 2244 (Bee Caves) and used their amazing space as a backdrop for some pretty cute shots.

Lastly we headed down to South Congress and had lunch at Zen and visited/shot about 4 more spots of significance to us.

It was a really great day and I could not be more happy or excited with the way they turned out...
