My good friend Holly referred Stephanie and Jesse to me for their wedding photography, and this one was definitely one for the books! It was my first time shooting at Red Ridge Receptions on September 28th, 2019, and I have to say... this place is GORGEOUS! While many people choose the hill country west of Austin for their weddings, they often overlook the amazing views and scenery east of Austin.


I had a blast meeting this lovely couple and capturing their big day. And when they played "No Diggity" at the reception, you better believe I couldn't resist breaking out some dance moves. You'll even catch a little peek of me break dancing in the photos below!


If you're looking to capture your special moments with someone who truly cares, book a session with The Vinyl Lens. Let's create some unforgettable memories together!


When: September 28th, 2019
