Yesterday, Rich and Eleanor got married at the Driskill Hotel in Austin! Everyone looked great, and there was some great dance action happening as well! Jenn and Amy from Your Very Own Fairy Godmother did an outstanding job keeping everything smooth. There were so many incredible parts to this wedding, so let’s get started!
The beautiful bride:
Rich was looking great too:
Married!
*Loved* the lighting they had set up in this room!
Eleanor’s father provided wonderfully carved seat cards, as well as the cake stand above, and numbers for all the tables! All of the wood came from his property, and the craftsmanship was excellent!
The cake gods at the Driskill outdid themselves with this golf bag groom’s cake, complete with tags naming a couple of the big courses!
Eleanor’s dad and her grandmother:
A tender moment at the end of the generation dance:
They had someone there making cigars for people on the spot! How cool is that?
I love non-traditional group shots!
Someone got ahold of Rich’s senior class picture, and I was dragged in (against my will, Rich) to take this shot.
There was no end to the dancing action!
The band was a group called The Pictures, and they were excellent! I’ve never heard a band that can nail songs from different eras so perfectly!
Rich got up on stage during the night and gave the crowd a rousing performance of ‘The Piano Man’!
Congratulations to Rich and Eleanor!!!

Believe me, we have been to hundreds of weddings, and this was spectacular – every detail..so personalized. The hotel did a fabulous job on the food, etc. The band was incredible – male singer one of the best
Most of all the bride and groom were so adorable – I did not see them sit one dance out. Oh, to be young again……..
