DIY Lago Vista Wedding by Jennifer Lindberg Weddings

June 24th. 2011 by A. Blaire | Filed Under | 32 comments

After an embarrassing amount of time spent fawning over the images from Jennifer Lindberg Weddings of this fab fête, I have come to terms with the fact that I am completely in love with this couple. Yes they both look like they stepped right out of a magazine, and yes she may actually be snow white, but the real reason I now have a serious crush on this duo is they just look SO in love with each other. True partners in crime. Their story is worth the read and will make you love them even more. So settle in, and move gazing at the gallery of images from this gorgeous affair to the top of your to-do list today. You’ll thank me.

From the Bride…Paul and I met, fell in love and were engaged in a little over six months.  Our whirlwind romance was eventually slowed down by life; four months after our engagement, my mom had a near-fatal operation that left her in a coma for two months.  She survived, thankfully, and was able to make a full recovery over the next year.  Around the time we were thinking of revisiting our wedding plans, life gave us a happy surprise: I was pregnant.  We put our wedding on the back burner {again} and later that year I had our son, Dylan.

About a year and a half later, our dormant wedding plans finally found new life.  A spring wedding at my Aunt & Uncle’s home in Lago Vista, Texas, just outside of Austin, was set and, lucky for us; the third time truly was a charm! With its lush gardens, impressive cypress trees and intricate stonework, my Aunt & Uncle’s home, named Mariposa, is almost reminiscent of an Italian villa.  We wanted our wedding to be an intimate celebration of love and family and Mariposa was a perfect fit to the relaxed and sophisticated wedding we had always dreamed of. Looking back, we couldn’t be happier that it took five years (!) for our wedding to finally happen.  Because, when it did, it was amazingly wonderful and everything we could have asked for.  Thanks to husband and wife team Jenn and Jim for capturing the sweetest, funniest, dearest and loveliest moments of the day for us to remember.

My Advice: We planned our wedding ourselves and relied on help from our amazing friends and family.  But, if I could go back, I would hire a wedding coordinator for our wedding day.  I think I would have saved myself some moments of stress and the basket of 115 hand-stamped muslin bags with chocolate covered almond favors that my mother-in-law assembled may have actually been put out for our guests!

    I am the niece of Paul (the groom) and have known Steph since her and my uncle started dating. I can personally attest to the fact that the love and beauty that is obvious in these pictures is simply a projection of the way that they live their everyday life. They are both truly beautiful people whose wedding and union was a great thing to witness...especially with their total cutie-pie son in attendance!

  17. Stephanie says:

    From the opening photographs, you've shared a movie set perfect wedding. The striking photo of the bride with her bouquet draws you in and the story unfolds to a matching dream realized photo of the bride with her handsome groom. The setting, the flowers, the food, the family and friends capture a story of joy and promise. Best wishes. The start couldn't be better. We're big fans of Jennifer Lindberg Weddings and she's a proven story teller through beautifully composed pictures. There's a lot of other great work on display from the entire team, but it wouldn't work without the stars. This bride and groom look lovely and in love.

  26. Robyn says:

    Unbelievable! SO beautiful. Stunning, classic, there are really just no words to do it justice. And the fact that you did not have a wedding coordinator blows. me. away.

  27. Melissa says:

    Steph...I am not surprised in the least to see your wedding featured on here! When we were there celebrating it was just perfect and we all knew it would eventually be showcased somewhere. You are so talented...and beautiful! Love you!

  28. Gaia Thomas says:

    The photographs are absolutely stunning!! A beautiful wedding and a beautiful couple. Congratulations to all.

  29. Kelli Domke says:

    Intimate, evocative, moving and lovely... what a sweet couple beautifully captured on their happy day! I especially love the image of their son gazing up at them... this is exactly the type of "hidden moment" Jenn & Jim quietly immortalize with their work. Nice.

  30. trina says:
