KARINA + GARRETT THE ALLAN HOUSE WEDDING | AUSTIN, TEXAS

Marisol Roten February 25, 2015

I was in Minnesota for a wedding about a year and half ago. It was at this wedding that I had the pleasure of seeing my sorority little sister Karina for the first time in a few years! She was traveling from Boston with her then-boyfriend Garrett for the same wedding I was photographing. After a full day's camera work, I finally had the opportunity to meet Garrett and say hello.

Fast forward a few months later and when they became engaged, I was hired!

The most beautiful memory I have of their wedding day is when I walked into her bridal suite. There she was, mid-morning, sitting in front of a large window with the Austin skyline behind and a coffee mug in her hand in her most humblest form with a big smile. She was smiling as she said hello and while her hair and make up were not even started yet, she was glowing. How awesome is my job!

It's these moments, and many more like them, that I love photographing weddings.

Karina and Garrett got married in downtown Austin and couldn't have picked a more awesome place. The Allan House is a beautiful old-world home located in the middle of downtown. It served as a perfect backdrop to bring two beautiful families together from the south and from the east coast to witness two beautiful souls get married.

Karina's father had the BEST speech I have ever heard at a wedding. The Best!

Congratulations Karina and Garrett! I am so honored to have had the pleasure of sharing in your celebration of a beautiful marriage. I look forward to seeing you both grow in marriage and love.

Happy Wednesday friends!

Catie + Austin Flying T Ranch Wedding | Bertram, Texas

Marisol Roten November 11, 2014

I didn't get to meet Catie until the day of her wedding but seconds after seeing her lovely smile it felt like I had met her before. After email and phone conversations, it was awesome to put a lovely face to her sweet and charismatic voice. I felt very welcomed when I arrive at the Flying T Ranch outside of Austin, Texas. Catie's wedding involved a lot of do it yourself projects and it was great to see so many of her friends and family so willing to help put her dream day together.

Catie and Austin, I since learned, met each other at camp and eventually began dating. Both of them have a deep love for the Lord and it was beautiful to seem them worship during their marriage ceremony. With a recent college graduation, Catie and Austin decided to embark on the next step of their lives and join together in marriage. I was chosen to photograph their lovely September wedding and couldn't have been happier to meet them.

The two of them are honestly so gushingly sweet to watch interact and are very much in love with one another. During their prayer time before the ceremony, Austin was blindfolded and couldn't visually see his beautiful bride. Together they prayed and were so eager to get their life together started. This was truly a beautiful wedding to be a part of.

Catie and Austin, thank you for allowing me to document your wedding day. I wish you every blessing in your marriage!
