Austin Wedding Photography Highlight

August is a month of warmth, love, and celebration—a perfect setting for Alexa and Anthony’s intimate wedding. While their special day took place in Burlington, Ontario, the timeless beauty and heartfelt moments of their backyard celebration resonate with couples everywhere, including my new home in Austin, Texas.

As an Austin wedding photographer, I’m inspired by intimate, personal celebrations like this one. Backyard weddings have a special charm, blending the comfort of home with the elegance of a wedding. Alexa and Anthony’s day was no exception—it was a heartfelt celebration surrounded by the people who mean the most to them.

Getting Ready in a Familiar and Comfortable Space

The couple’s day began with a relaxed vibe as they prepared in their backyard alongside family and friends. The setting was a reflection of their love story—intimate, warm, and filled with personal touches that made every moment meaningful.

A Timeless Ceremony in a Historic Setting

Alexa and Anthony exchanged vows at St. John’s the Baptist Church, a historic gem in Burlington. Its classic architecture and serene atmosphere made for an unforgettable ceremony. As an Austin wedding photographer, I’ve seen how churches and chapels, whether historic or modern, create a special ambiance for couples to say “I do.”

Capturing Romance in Scenic Locations

After the ceremony, the couple took advantage of two breathtaking locations for portraits: the charming Village Square and the stunning shores of Lake Ontario.

• Village Square offered European-inspired charm, much like Austin’s South Congress neighborhood, with cobblestone paths and cozy courtyards that added a unique flair to their photos.
• Lake Ontario brought a natural, romantic backdrop. Even a light drizzle added an ethereal quality to the images, proving that unexpected weather can create truly magical moments.

Whether in Burlington or Austin, finding locations that blend charm and nature is key to creating wedding portraits that couples will treasure forever.

A Cozy Backyard Reception Filled with Love

Backyard receptions are a trend I’m thrilled to see more of in Austin. Alexa and Anthony’s tented reception was beautifully decorated, creating a warm, inviting space filled with laughter and heartfelt toasts. Backyard weddings offer a level of intimacy and personalization that larger venues often can’t match, and Alexa and Anthony’s celebration captured this perfectly.

Why I Love Photographing Intimate Weddings in Austin

Backyard weddings, scenic outdoor ceremonies, and personal touches are as beloved in Austin as they are anywhere else. Locations like Austin’s rolling hills, scenic parks, and historic venues provide endless opportunities for capturing stunning wedding photos.
