This couple’s Austin TX wedding was low-key and everything that Jon and Laurie dreamt of and wanted.

Love at First Meet Up …

The very first time these two met, they were paired up as partners while playing cards at a meet-up. It was fated that they were to be together.

Since then, they have enjoyed traveling together, playing games, watching movies, enjoying brunch, and cooking as a couple. Trust, love, and communication has shaped their relationship into a strong one. It was only a matter of time before Jon popped the question …

And so the time came. After Jon proposed in the car, they started planning their Austin TX wedding …

Zilker Park Engagement Session

Jon had seen photos of a previous Zilker Park engagement session on my website and they knew it was the perfect place for their session. Not only did they love being outdoors, but they enjoyed visiting this specific park.

It was such a fun session, despite the heat (thank goodness for cloud coverage!). I love engagement sessions since it’s an amazing opportunity to get to know my couples. And I got to do just that. Not only is this couple absolutely adorable, but they are such beautiful souls.

Jon and Laurie’s Austin TX Wedding Day

About two weeks after their engagement session, Jon and Laurie are ready to tie the knot at Laurie’s church!

Although their wedding ceremony was a traditional one, these two are not so much into the traditions. They didn’t want to make a big deal out of seeing each other for the first time. After getting ready together, we were able to take some photos of the two of them prior to the ceremony:

Then they got the chance to greet their family and friends as they arrived to the church.

They are finally married!!! And partners in crime (and cards) forever!

Wedding Reception at Chez Zee

As casual and low-key as their wedding reception was, they wanted to include one tradition: cake-cutting (I mean, who could blame them? Everyone should have cake or some kind of sweets table at their wedding!!)!
