Nelda & Karl {Married}

Nelda and Karl's wedding has been a blessing in so many ways. It's a blessing that they found each other and that they spend so much time giving to others. They were married in Austin, Texas on Mount Bonnell at sunset on a beautiful autumn Texas day. Surrounded by a handful of friends and family, they said "I do" as rays of beautiful golden sun enveloped them. It was simply breathtaking.

But that's only part of their amazing story.

That story is not mine to tell, but you might notice from the photos that Nelda isn't wearing a traditional wedding dress. The dresses that she, her daughter and granddaughters are wearing were custom made by The Freed Jubilee Market, which gives women who are rescued from sexual slavery a way to restore their lives and to have their dignity restored.

After the ceremony, the entire group headed to Asti, a local restaurant, for a private dinner and reception and some of the tastiest food I've ever eaten. 

Nelda and Karl's day was filled with love, laughter and life in a way that was deeply moving.

Thanks you, Karl and Nelda for allowing us to be a part of your beautiful day. May your lives together be long, happy and full of life.

Thanks also to my amazing second-shooter on this wedding, without whom I literally could not have captured this full day. Heather Robards of Fields of Heather Photography is simply awesome!
