As an Affordable [Packages Prices Rates Under $2000] Best Austin Wedding Photographer & Affordable [Packages Prices Rates Under $2000] Best Austin Wedding Videographer, I had the privilege of photographing and videographing Karla and Idar’s wedding ceremony and wedding reception at Holiday Inn Austin Northwest in Austin, Texas on Friday, October 8, 2010.
In the early afternoon of the couple’s big day, I began at the venue by photographing and videographing the bride and bridesmaids’ hair and makeup being done by two of the bride’s closest female friends. This Affordable [Packages Prices Rates Under $2000] Best Austin Wedding Photographer & Affordable [Packages Prices Rates Under $2000] Best Austin Wedding Videographer was also able to capture a few shots of the bridesmaids helping the bride into her wedding dress. Once the bride was in her wedding dress, her mother helped her put on her wedding veil.

At around 3:00 in the afternoon, the wedding ceremony began with the entrance from behind the altar of the groom and the officiant.
Then the wedding processional began with the seating of the couples’ grandparents, the groom’s mother and father, and the bride’s mother, all escorted by the ushers. Both of the couple’s mothers lit the outside candles of the unity candle arrangement.
Afterwards, each bridesmaid walked up the aisle, escorted by a groomsman. Then the ring bearer entered, followed by the flower girl.
After the congregation rose for the bride’s entrance, the groom finally got to see his beautiful bride in her wedding dress for the first time, walking up the aisle, escorted by her father.
After the bride and groom exchanged vows and placed rings on each other’s fingers, the couple lit the unity candle. They then kissed and walked down the aisle together as husband and wife.
After all of their family and friends congratulated the new couple, this Affordable [Packages Prices Rates Under $2000] Best Austin Wedding Photographer & Affordable [Packages Prices Rates Under $2000] Best Austin Wedding Videographer then took some formal pictures of the couples’ families, the bridal party and, of course, the bride and groom by themselves. After formal pictures, we all headed over to the reception at Tan My Restaurant.
The reception began with introductions. Once the couple’s parents were introduced, the DJ then introduced the bridesmaids and groomsmen, which was followed by the entrance of the bride and groom. Once introduced, the new couple had their first dance as husband and wife. Before everyone ate dinner, a minister friend of the couple gave a pre-dinner prayer.
After dinner, the best man and the maid of honor each toasted the new couple. Immediately after the toasts, the bride and groom thanked their wedding guests for attending.
The couple then cut both the bride’s wedding cake and the groom’s wedding cake and fed each other from each wedding cake.
This was followed by the father-bride dance and the mother-groom in which this Affordable [Packages Prices Rates Under $2000] Best Austin Wedding Photographer & Affordable [Packages Prices Rates Under $2000] Best Austin Wedding Videographer captured some special moments of the bride dancing with her father and the groom dancing with his mother.
The bride and groom then led their guests onto the dance floor as the DJ played the Cupid Shuffle, the Wobble line dance, the Electric Slide and a few other line dances.
After a few hours of an open dance floor, the bride threw her bouquet. And after the groom removed the garter from the bride’s leg, this Affordable [Packages Prices Rates Under $2000] Best Austin Wedding Photographer & Affordable [Packages Prices Rates Under $2000] Best Austin Wedding Videographer captured the garter toss. The single guy who caught the garter then placed the garter on the leg of the single girl who caught the bouquet.
As they left their reception, the bride and groom were given a bubble grand exit by their wedding guests.
Thanks again, Karla and Idar, for allowing this Affordable [Packages Prices Rates Under $2,000] Best Austin Wedding Photographer & Affordable [Packages Prices Rates Under $2,000] Best Austin Wedding Videographer to photograph images of and videograph your special day!
