From Select Studios… When
Megan and Matt first met, she was modeling in Houston and he was
playing baseball for Tulane University. After Hurricane Katrina hit New
Orleans, Matt’s baseball team spent a semester in Lubbock. During that
time, Megan visited some friends who attended Texas Tech. Matt and Megan
were then introduced by mutual friends over a game of sand volleyball.
Though they had fun, it was a year and a half before they saw each other
again. Megan was spending a weekend in New Orleans with her friend
Blair, who was secretly trying to set the pair up all along. Much to
Blair’s delight, the two hit it off and have been together ever since!
We were thrilled when Megan and Matt asked us to be a
part of their wedding day. We’ve known Megan since she was in her teens
and worked with her throughout her modeling career. The venue she and
Matt chose for their big day was another plus. Located in the hill
country near Austin, Texas, Le San Michele offered a peaceful, yet
vibrant atmosphere. Ornate garden accessories and hanging lanterns along
with various arrangements of plants and flowers surround a cottage
beautifully decorated with antique furniture and unique accessories.
This gorgeous setting, paired with such a sweet couple, made it easy for
us to capture some beautiful images.
From the Bride… It was the best day of our lives! We wanted our
wedding to be a celebration of our new life together. We had 160 of our
close friends and family at a hill country outdoor venue called Le San
Michele in Buda, TX (about 15 miles south of Austin). Our venue gave us
a lot of flexibility to incorporate various ideas and details – it was
perfect, and thankfully the weather cooperated too!
I had a great time getting ready at Hotel San Jose with
all of my bridesmaids, and both my mom and future mother-in-law. We
drank champagne and laughed and cried. Later on at the venue, while
patiently waiting inside my dressing room, I peeked out the window and
saw my soon-to-be husband arriving with his groomsmen. I was so excited
to be marrying my best friend.
Once our marriage was official, we had a great party
with live music from Sauce and amazing food & drinks from Austin
Catering (the build-you-own mac & cheese bar was a huge hit!). We
also had an airstream trailer photo booth which was a lot of fun, and
made for some hilarious pictures. The folks at Select Studios were
there taking pictures and did a beautiful job capturing the many
memorable moments from our special day.
There’s only one thing I would have changed about our wedding day… I would have made it last longer!
