Jessica & Charlie’s Villa Antonia Austin Wedding

stacyreeves — Tue, 26 Jul 2011 16:22:11 +0000

Generally when you see a couple this attractive, you just assume they must have some major flaw, some chink in their perfect armor. Maybe they’re snobby, or not very nice, or not very smart, or not very interesting. This couldn’t be further from the truth with Jessica and Charlie. To an outsider, they seem to have it all together. They are warm, nice, loving people who come from two joyful families that seemed to be thrilled to see them married, they have awesome, supportive friends who partied the whole night long, and of course they’ve got that whole Aggie thing going for them, too! I kept catching myself grinning at this wedding, unable to resist the contagious joy from all the fun and super-nice people I was surrounded by. This is the kind of wedding I live to shoot – two genuinely good people surrounded by loving family and friends, celebrating their love without a care in the world. Here are some of my favorite photographs from their wedding at Villa Antonia in Austin Texas:

Lindsay & Jim’s Austin Wedding

Jim is kind of a big deal – to me, at least. In college, Jim served as Student Body President my senior year. To some of you, being the “SBP” might be meaningless, and at some smaller schools it might indeed be just a figurehead position, but at one of the nation’s largest universities and Texas’ oldest public college, it’s a huge responsibility. Jim traveled the world representing Texas A&M, hosted visiting presidents and other dignitaries from various countries, worked on a regular basis with Robert Gates (how would you like to have a letter of recommendation from the US Secretary of Defense?), and had an impact in how millions of dollars were spent on behalf of the students of Texas A&M University. Despite the fact that I campaigned against him, Jim took a chance on me and asked me to serve on his Executive Council, which was one of the most rewarding experiences I’ve ever had. The team Jim assembled was full of some of the smartest, most talented, most accomplished people at A&M, and to this day I stand in awe of what everyone has gone on to achieve. Serving under Jim’s leadership and working with the team he put together encouraged me to dream big, to never settle for mediocrity, and to work hard to have a positive impact on whatever I was a part of. Jim is a fabulous leader, and I really feel like a better person for having known him.

Over the years, Jim’s friends all mused about who he would eventually end up with. We knew she would have to be incredibly smart, outgoing, kind and friendly to all people, able to adapt to both Jim’s goofy fun-loving personality as well as his serious drive for success, successful and driven in her own right, and generally an all-out rockstar. We set the bar pretty high for Jim, knowing that he wouldn’t settle for anything less than amazing, and I’m happy to say he found it in Lindsay. I knew the moment I met her that she was great for Jim. They seem to make each other blissfully happy, and they’re all smiles when they’re around each other. Working this wedding was emotional for me, seeing a good friend find such happiness. Here are some of my favorites from their wedding day!

Jessica’s Bridal Session at Villa Antonia

Beautiful bride, beautiful dress, beautiful location.. I really get far too much credit for taking pretty photos – with a bride like Jessica in a place like this, taking stunning bridal portraits is child’s play. I’m especially in love with Jessica’s two piece Winnie Couture wedding gown, as well as those FABULOUS blue suede shoes! Shooting at Villa Antonia in Austin is always a pleasure – everywhere you turn is a new and even more lovely spot, and the incredible views of Lake Travis are the perfect backdrop for a wedding or portrait session. Here are some of my faves from her session:

I’m not sure who is more excited for these photos to finally be public – Autumn or me! I’ve been holding onto this gem of a wedding for months, but now that Style Me Pretty has published the images, I can finally show them off! Autumn’s wedding had some of the most lovely details and locations I’ve ever seen. Everywhere I turned, I saw attractive people, gorgeous buildings, pretty flowers, and amazing views. It was like a wedding pulled straight out of a magazine! Thankfully, this wedding was genuine and real, with more than a few tearful moments. Here are some of my favorite images from the day:
