This French-meets-Texan wedding was so full of love, the happy couple decided to throw two parties instead of one! Inspired by their favorite French restaurant, Jen and John chose Justine’s Secret House as the intimate venue for their très français ceremony and dinner. The couple embraced the fact that everything’s bigger in Texas for their large next-day reception at the bride’s parents’ ranch, inviting everyone that is near and dear to their hearts and passing out bandanas personalized with the ranch’s brand as favors. We are so in love with how Amber Vickery Photography beautifully captured the couple’s French Victorian ceremony vision as well as their country sensibilities for the ranch reception.
The Couple: Jen and John
The Wedding:
Justine’s Secret House, Austin, Texas

We chose our venue based on our favorite French restaurant in Austin, Justine‘s Brasserie. They happen to run a small event venue called The Secret House: A beautiful French Victorian house secluded from the business of E. 7th street by a magical fenced-in courtyard lined with palm and loquat trees draped delicately with cafe lights. A New Orleans vibe with a French flair and an oh-so-French attitude. It was beyond perfection.

The most memorable part of the day for me was forgetting to carry my bouquet down the aisle. Yup, I forgot it. Never felt more naked standing at the altar sans-bouquet! Lucky for me, the bouquet magically mad...
