Kristin and Evan's Barr Mansion wedding

Kristin and Evan were married a few weeks ago at the Barr Mansion. If you follow our blog at all you will notice that we have had the opportunity to photograph at the Barr many times in the past. It is one of my favorite Austin locations. Yet no matter how many times we shoot there we always find another beautiful spot or angle. Maybe it's the couple that bring out these new visions of a familiar site.

Here's to wishing Kristin and Evan all the best in their new life together, congratulations!

Josh and Franny's Barr Mansion wedding

Franny and Josh were married on a chilly December day. The bride wore a victorian-era styled dress and the groom wore a custom-made suit. They both looked great. The ceremony and reception took place within the cozy confines of the Barr "barn" which looked perfect decked out with holiday flowers and lights.

Congratulations Franny and Josh!

A beautiful day at the Barr Mansion

It was a crisp autumn day with plenty of sunshine. The Barr Mansion did a perfect job with delicious organic food, beautiful flowers and seasonal decorations. In addition to the bride and groom, Samantha and Andrew, there was also Nathaniel and Elizabeth, their children, who played a big part in this wedding.

I loved the choice of favors, a graphically designed card made of handmade paper that contained wildflower seeds. In the spring, with the newlyweds in mind, you plant the card and watch it grow, a blossoming reminder of the love shared.

Kristin and Andrew's wedding at the Barr Mansion

Kristin and Andrew exchanged their vows at the lovely Barr Mansion last week. The bride and groom met in the Army at flight school, and as you might expect many of the wedding party and guests were also in the military. We had folks from the Army, Marines and the Air Force.
I have to admit I loved the uniforms, as well as the bridesmaids lovely yellow dresses.
It was a beautiful day and a hopping party. Here's to Andrew and Kristin, wishing you the best!

Ian and Chris's wedding at the Barr Mansion

Have I mentioned lately how much I love it at the Barr Mansion? The location, the staff, the food, all amazing. As well the people who choose to be married there, some of my favorites.
Ian and Chris fit right in. Their wedding last weekend was simply beautiful. I especially loved the flower arrangements. The bride went all over Austin searching out the various glass jars, vases and pitchers for the tables. And Chris's bow tie, a real one, he came prepared with directions on how to tie it.
Oh and I can't forget the groomsmen and their surprise toast in Zoot suits. So fun!

Jessie and Tyler's Barr Mansion wedding

This has been a spring of awesome weddings, so Jessie and Tyler's wedding at the Barr Mansion fit right in. Besides the ever so beautiful gardens, the expanse of green grass, and the magical evening light of the Barr Mansion, the bride sparkled with each dimpled smile. Practical and stylish in her gold Manolo Blahnik flats, she seemed perfectly at home in her mothers 70's era wedding gown. I loved it.

It was fun right from the start. We did all the family and wedding party photos before the ceremony and as you can see in just the few photos below, they knew how to have a good time. Friends served as DJ's, bringing along their record collections and their good taste in music. Sparklers, cigars and a little karaoke made for a great night.

Gena and Chad's wedding at the Barr Mansion

This past Sunday at the Barr Mansion Gena and Chad were married. The wedding party and guests were as beautiful as the day and the gardens. Chad, a metal worker, crafted a wonderful arch for them to be married under. Gena, a lover of plants, chose potted orchids for the tables.

The Barr Mansion, the only certified organic events venue in Austin, provided a delicious vegetarian feast. Gena and Chad made the wonderfully unusual choice of a reggae band, The Stingers, for the reception, and they kept the party jamming.
