Colorful Austin Vintage Villas Wedding | Chelsea & Travis

This Austin Vintage Villas wedding was very classic yet so colorful! The Villas in Austin was the perfect venue for Chelsea and Travis, and offers the most stunning views that overlook Lake Travis while surrounded by their grand oak trees. Both Chelsea and Travis are Aggies from A&M University, and they incorporated a lot of that into their wedding day.

Austin Vintage Villas Wedding

Getting Ready With The Bride

Chelsea got ready for the day with her mother and she had the sweetest first look with her father. It was truly so precious and to me, was the most special part of the day. They were both so emotional seeing eachother and you can tell what an amazing relationship they have and how much love they have for eachother! Chelsea wore the most beautiful classic dress and I loved the colorful bouquet she had to go with!

The Wedding Party

Chelsea and Travis had such a fun and beautiful wedding party! I loved the simple yet beautiful colors of plum and dark blue for the groomsmen and bridesmaids, the colorful bouquets, and of course the beauty of Lake Travis and the vintage gazebo as the backdrop! Everyone was so happy to be here and celebrating the love of Chelsea and Travis.

A Beautiful Austin Vintage Villas Wedding Ceremony

Chelsea and Travis’s Austin Vintage Villas wedding ceremony was absolutely beautiful. They had their ceremony under the vintage gazebo which offers the most beautiful panoramic views of Lake Travis and the landscape beyond. They exchanged the most heartfelt vows to one another and it definitely pulled at my heartstrings! After the ceremony, Chelsea and Travis enjoyed private hors d’oeuvres together while signing their marriage certificate!

Sweet Words From Chelsea and Travis

“How Aly and I met was through my wedding planner because she thought Aly and my husband and I as a couple would be a good fit. Our wedding planner was right! Aly was the perfect fit! Not only was her photography style what we were looking for, her personality really made us feel comfortable and confident while taking our photos.

The first time we met Aly was at our engagement photo session and our personalities just clicked! She was the best hype woman and director that led with a gentle, but firm hand, because of her swim coach experience, which is exactly what we needed. We got to know about Aly’s life and her family and it was just so refreshing how easy she was to talk to. It felt like we had known her for years.

When our wedding day came, Aly scoped out the venue to find the perfect picture locations and worked seamlessly with the rest of the wedding day support to make sure our day was the most perfect it could be. One of my husbands’ and I biggest concerns on the wedding day was the family pictures and being efficient with the time that we had before the sun set. Aly was so gracious with all of our family and directed everyone on where to stand in a way that only an experienced and well-versed photographer would be able to do. She treated everyone with such respect and she never seemed put-out by any of our photographer requests, even though she was traveling from Austin to Houston at 12:30 AM after our wedding.

What I think we enjoyed most about Aly besides her being an amazing photographer is that she is just an amazing person and someone who I have considered a friend even after the wedding is done and over. She is your hype woman throughout the entire wedding process and after. We made the best decision by trusting our wedding planner to choose Aly!


P.S. Aly loves some reception flash photography so be ready for the best experience of your life!”
