Austin Wedding Photographer | Some of our favorite moments from a wedding weekend happen before the wedding day even begins.
Leah and Jeremy invited their closest family and friends to Murray’s Tavern in Austin for their rehearsal dinner, and it was the perfect way to kick off the celebration! We always encourage couples to consider rehearsal dinner coverage because it gives us a chance to meet your people before the wedding day. Conversations happen naturally, stories are shared during toasts, and everyone becomes comfortable having us around. By the time the wedding day arrives, the cameras feel familiar and guests are free to simply enjoy themselves—and that’s when the most genuine photographs happen.
The Wedding Day
Every detail reflected Leah and Jeremy’s personalities, from the vibrant color palette to the playful design elements that would later transform the reception into an unforgettable celebration at Camino Real Ranch.
Leah and her bridal party had a sweet morning laughing together while getting ready with Viva La Glam. Excitement filled every room!
One of our favorite moments from the morning wasn’t planned at all. Leah unexpectedly strutted into the room in her wedding dress, and her bridesmaids’ genuine excitement said it all. Those spontaneous reactions—the laughter, cheers, and happy tears—are impossible to recreate, which is exactly why we love them!
Jeremy and his groomsmen kept things relaxed, sharing a few laughs and soaking in the excitement together before the day officially began.
Bride + Groom First Look at Camino Real Ranch
One of the most emotional moments of the day came during Leah and Jeremy’s first look. Jeremy could hardly contain his excitement as he saw his bride for the first time. Joy was written all over his face!
Moments later, Leah shared an unplanned first look with her dad that unfolded naturally and was so special to witness!
Their wedding party was just as memorable. Bold colors, unique textures, and incredible personal style made every portrait feel like an editorial while still feeling completely authentic to the people wearing them.
The Ceremony
With family and friends gathered beneath the Texas sky, Leah and Jeremy exchanged heartfelt vows in a ceremony that felt both intimate and deeply personal. Their friend and fellow musician, Sammy Powell, filled the space with live piano music, adding a simple and meaningful backdrop to the ceremony.
Newlywed Portraits
Their portrait time was filled with big smiles, lively celebration, and the kind of laughter that effortlessly shines through when the excitement of “we’re finally married” starts to sink in! Some of our favorite portraits happen in these moments—not because we’re posing every second, but because we’re giving couples the space to laugh, talk, and be fully present with one another.
Rather than disappearing at cocktail hour, they chose to spend much of it celebrating alongside their guests. This is a decision we’re always excited to see! Some of the best conversations, hugs, and candid moments happen during cocktail hour, and it’s a chance for couples to truly experience the day they’ve spent months planning.
A Lively Reception
As the sun went down, the celebration shifted into high gear. The sparkling disco balls, shimmering ceiling tinsel, and bold checkered dance floor perfectly reflected Leah and Jeremy’s fun-loving personalities!
To kick things off, Jeremy, who currently plays drums for William Beckmann and previous guitarist with another band, joined fellow musicians/friends for a live performance that brought everyone to the dance floor. It was personal, energetic, and the perfect beginning to an unforgettable night!

When every part of a wedding reflects the couple behind it, the day becomes about so much more than beautiful details. It becomes a celebration that no one will soon forget. As Austin wedding photographers, we’re grateful to have been trusted to document it!
Cheers to the Woldas!
