Weddings at the Renaissance Hotel in Austin TX

Wedding ceremonies in the Wedgwood Room

What a great story.  These two knew each other long before today.  If I remember correctly, they met late in High School, or perhaps it was college.  But then life took over and they each went their separate ways.  Then, several years later, these two reconnected when one searched for the other on the web (who doesn’t do that every now and then).

Unfortunately, life gave one of these two a nasty turn, but their love was true and deep, and a few days ago they decided to get married in Austin.  The rehearsal was at the amazing Oasis Restaurant overlooking Lake Travis, or right now because of the low rainfall, the Islands of Lake Travis.  Rehearsals are always so much fun.  I love hearing all the toasts because it really helps me to get to know the couples even better.

Then, the next day, showed up early to the wedding at the Reniassance Hotel.  My good friend Joe Simon, one of the best wedding videographers in austin, was already there hard at work shooting detail shots of the shoes, rings, and getting ready.  Not to be outdone, I jumped right in, and the fun began!

Here are some of my favorite back and white wedding photos.  If you want to see the entire  800+ wedding proof gallery, here is the link.  Send me a note and I’ll give you the password.

The guests arrive to the ceremony site inside the WedgWood Room.  Summers in Austin are HOT, and if you want to keep cool, the best bet is to find a venue like this one which has an indoor option.
