Sometimes, brides cry when they walk down the aisle on their wedding day.  It’s a lifelong commitment to love someone for the rest of forever in front of GOD, friends, and family – who wouldn’t be a little choked up in that moment? Well, Shay did more than get a little teary-eyed as she walked toward the aisle to Drew on their wedding day.  She sobbed.

Shalyn was just so thrilled that the man of her dreams had actually asked her to marry him.  She was more than excited that this was the start of the rest of forever – together.  More than anything, she was really just happy that she had a permanent dance partner and that she could squeeze his bum every day from there to eternity!

For those of you that thought I added the deer in post-processing of the images when I posted a sneak peek earlier this week on Facebook, please notice ALL THE DEER in the following photos.  I may have some photoshop skills, but I am not that good, yall!  The secret to getting these cute deer into these wedding photos is the awesome husband and wife wedding planner team of Yellow Umbrella Events!  They had deer feed in their pockets, since they already knew of the people-lovin’ deer that Events at the Pointe has to offer!  Events at the Pointe is a new Austin wedding venue that overlooks Canyon Lake.  It is absolutely breathtaking out there and is only about an hour and a half from downtown Austin.  It also has ALL THESE DEER!!  The deer are super friendly, but they find bouquets rather tasty…  :D These next shots remind me of Snow White!  Really, who else has photos of themselves on their wedding day feeding a baby deer?!?!  You can if you get married at Events at the Pointe!

The beautiful bouquet in these images was made by The Flower Box in Georgetown, TX!

Shalyn’s beautiful hair and make-up was done by the super awesome, Tavia Williams!  This lady rocks my socks!  Drew and Shalyn got stuck in traffic for about 40 minutes.  Without skipping a beat, Tavia had Shay in and out of hair and make-up by the ORIGINAL START TIME!!!  She had Shay looking oh-so-gorgeous, on time, despite the 40 minute delay.  If you need hair and make-up done for your wedding, I’d call Tavia!  Look at how stunning she had Shay looking!

Because I LOVE it so much (and you may, too), Shay got her headband at Burlington!  

This stunner of a dress is from Alexia Gavela!  Ask for Geri because he is the man!  Seriously, I’ve only ever heard fantastic things about this bridal boutique and they have a wonderful selection of dress, belts, and accessories!

One of the most attractive features about Events at the Pointe (besides the fact that you get the property for the full weekend, it sleeps about 60 of your closest friends and family, and it is affordable (oh, and the cute deer)) is this view!  Weddings that happen at Events at the Pointe overlook Canyon Lake.
