Union on 8th Wedding Trailer

Rebekah and Memo’s Union on 8th Wedding Trailer, brings a smile to our faces! We first met this lovely couple for their engagement session, and we had a blast. We expected nothing less from this charismatic duo on their Wedding Day. We began downtown at the historic courthouse for the ceremony. The couple was then led into Union on 8th for the reception, located just 20 miles north of Downtown Austin. With the “Keep Austin Weird” vibe, it was the perfect venue.

Union on 8th is a super cool venue just off of Georgetown’s old time square. It started life as an automotive repair shop and that texture shows through. The interior is perfect for small to medium weddings with cool old wooden ceiling joists and floor to ceiling glass doors overlooking the intimate courtyard. There is even a classic Airstream trailer that makes a nice get away location for the couple during the reception.

The Wedding Team

What a way to close out 2014! I know it seems like we posted only the pictures of Michelle and Todd smiling, happy and looking lovingly at each other, but all 2000 photos are like this! As always we believe that weddings are a day of firsts, first kiss, first look, first night as a married couple. Here are some of the firsts we observed at this last wedding of 2014.

First reception we have seen where an octogenarian led the dance floor. I believe she is 83 and she had more fun than just about anyone. I hope to dance with that much enthusiasm when I am 38 in two years! This was also the first wedding where Andrew tested out his tintype process. There will be more advancements in this process as it grows and changes materials but we think it’s a cool analog memento of the wedding day. The other big first was this was our first time photographing at the super cool Union on 8th wedding venue. I remember seeing the building as a mechanic’s garage 4 years ago on a photowalk and thinking it would be an interesting place to photograph, now with the renovations and the conversion to an event venue, wow, a newly refurbished place with an old vibe. Love it.

As always thanks to 11:11 Events for planning and coordinating, you make our days easy.

Big group hug to Michelle & Todd on their nuptials. We loved being there to document your wedding day (and your awesome engagements) and we love the way yall laugh with each other. Keep on laughing
