Bethany+Brandon’s Backyard Elopement | San Antonio Wedding Photographer Kelly Cameron

Photo & Video Sharing by SmugMug

Bethany+Brandon eloped with a sunset ceremony in their beautiful San Antonio backyard overlooking stunning vegetation and rolling hills.  With design, furnishings and florals by me and delicious petit fours, cake pops and a red velvet wedding cake by Paige’s Bakehouse, this intimate celebration was a sight to behold and I am so honored that I had the opportunity to be so involved in such a special day!  Their wedding was officiated by a dear friend and Bethany’s son, Mason, was the most adorable (and hilarious) ring bearer.  Come join me as we journey through the sneak peeks of their beautiful backyard elopement!

Bethany bought charms, each with great significance to each member of the family, to place in the vase as they performed a sand ceremony symbolizing the union of these three precious people as a family.

Mason was quite ready to dig in to all the goodies!

And as any 5 year old should, Mason spent the time we were taking formal pictures with Bethany+Brandon spitting on bugs.  SO loved this!

 Are You Thinking About Eloping?

Elopements and smaller weddings are trending, but couples aren’t content with just running off for a small ceremony.  They want style, less stress and the freedom to enjoy their day together and get beautiful photos of a priceless time to treasure and share with their friends and family.  I’ve booked more elopements and small weddings (15 guests and under) this year than ever before and I love doing them!  I have another wedding I’m designing, coordinating and shooting (like this one) in September and I am so excited to continue planning with the bride.

If you’re thinking about doing what Bethany+Brandon did, let’s talk!  I’ve got lots of ideas and so many resources to help create the perfect, intimate wedding for you two.

One of her sweet little flowers girls, also her niece, insisted on holding Michelle’s hands the entire time she got her hair done.  So precious.

There’s definitely a story here.  The father of the bride and his brother got low, low, low during “Shout!” -a performance they performed at Michelle’s sister’s wedding, too.  It’s a tradition.  And a riot!

How About A Party?!

What I love most about Michelle+Adam’s wedding is the spirit of celebration the couple and their guests enjoyed the evening in.  If you’re going to throw a party, THROW A PARTY!  Enjoy yourself and your guests will, too!  Make sure you take time to eat an savor your meal, go round and say hello to those precious folks who came to surround and support your union, and tear up the dance floor!

Sneak Peeks: Rachel+David’s Backyard Wedding | Georgetown Wedding Photographer

Photo & Video Sharing by SmugMug

Before Rachel’s hair appointment, David went to the salon and delivered a dozen roses, spread Hershey’s kisses all over the table tops and left her the most beautiful love poem he wrote especially for that moment.  It was read allowed twice and, I admit, it was so precious I cried both times.  Rachel+David met working together at Dell in Round Rock.  They love enjoying the great outdoors together, along with their 3 fabulous rescue dogs -a passion of Rachel’s from an early age.  For their honeymoon, they flew to San Francisco then traveled the Pacific Coast Highway into Oregon with stops to camp in the Redwood forests, enjoy wine country and feel the salty sea air are on their faces.

Rachel+David had their wedding ceremony at The First Baptist Church of Georgetown with a phenomenal backyard reception at their home, styled entirely by Sweet Sunday Events.  You are going to need to sit down when you see the designs and florals they created -they are knockout!  Come enjoy a supremely colorful, relaxed and inspired celebration as I share Rachel+David’s sneak peeks!

Is she not the cutest little flower girl?  Look at those lace bloomers!

The bridal party all wore Toms. :)

Welcome to the shindig!

A floating bed made the perfect swing -a huge hit with the kids (and the newlyweds!  David and Rachel actually contemplated spending the night outside, it was so fun!)

Have you thought about having a backyard wedding?

Rachel+David decided to spend the last year investing in their home and landscaping instead of spending it on a venue.  They hired Sweet Sunday Events to style, furnish and provide amazing flowers and design, and kept it casual (and delicious!) with gourmet sandwiches and salads.  Over the past year, they purchased all sorts of different wine to share with their guests, and since they wanted a relaxed reception to simply enjoy all of the family and friends who attended, they opted for a playlist and some speakers instead of a DJ.

There are so many ways you can create the perfect wedding for you as a couple.  Think about what’s most important to you, write it down, and start planning based on your priorities, not conventional expectations.  It’s your celebration of love -CELEBRATE your way.

Kristi+Jimmy: A Texas Tech Wedding at Kindred Oaks | Georgetown Wedding Photographer Kelly Cameron

Photo & Video Sharing by SmugMug

Kristi+Jimmy met in college at Texas Tech and it’s been a big part of their relationship since, so much so that their wedding included lots of fun touches based on their alma mater.  Kindred Oaks in Georgetown, Texas was their venue and it’s sister business ZuZu’s Petals did all the gorgeous arrangements.

This was quite a party -so many fun moments and laughs!  Come enjoy the sneak peeks of their beautiful and joyous celebration!

Cakes by Simon Lee.  Aren’t they divine?!

Get ready for this: Kristi+Jimmy’s ceremony broke the shortest time record at Kindred Oaks (Roughly 4 minutes.) Quick, quick, quick -and ending with the most beautiful kiss!

Wine from The Georgetown Winery -the happy couple with the owners, and dear friends.

Singing along to a special request, “Red Solo Cup.”  THIS was fun :)

The photobooth was open air so everyone could play with the props and get in the fun -and bring it on the dance floor.

And the highlight of the reception:  ”Thriller” danced with the full choreography.  Well, it was my highlight, anyway -I’d never seen the whole dance done in person and this was a hoot!  So fun to see such a large group getting into it!

The last dance.

Congratulations, Kristi+Jimmy!

It was clear to see how very loved this couple is by so many family and friends.  Their celebration was just that: a celebration!  If you’re planning your wedding or assisting a friend, remember that the goal is FUN.  You should have a great time at your wedding!  Don’t get hung up on all of the details and stress yourself out so much that you and your loved ones can’t enjoy themselves.  Delegate, plan ahead, check things off the list and then don’t worry about it.  My best advice is to hire a coordinator to plan your wedding with you or create a strong team of friends/family that have designated responsibilities regarding the planning process so you can simply show up and let the day roll without scrambling to decorate tables or set out place cards half an hour before the ceremony.  It’s a once in a lifetime day, make sure you can enjoy it!
