Oh, where do I even begin with Codie’s bridal portraits at Barr Mansion? Let me tell you, this wasn’t just any bridal session—Codie is extra-special to me. I’ve known her since I can’t even remember and even photographed her high school senior portraits back in 2012.  Seeing her now in her sparkly, glamorous wedding gown? My heart could burst! Photographing her as a bride was a dream come true.

Codie loved these black and white images!  There’s something so fun about the way her dress sparkles!

Barr Mansion’s architecture, from its classic porch to the lush gardens, added a timeless feel to each shot. And the tropical touches on the grounds? Swoon! They made Codie’s photos feel like we’d whisked her away to an exotic oasis. I loved every moment of capturing her in the soft, beautiful morning light, which was pure magic on her sparkling dress. Every little detail came together to make her bridal portraits feel so vibrant and joyful—just like Codie herself.

This single drop pearl necklace was perfect for Codie’s tropical bridal style.  It was a sweet wedding gift from her mom.

We picked Barr Mansion because it’s like stepping into a little tropical paradise right here in Austin, and that’s totally Codie’s vibe! With her gown’s glittery details catching the morning light and that stunning tropical bouquet filled with orchids, she was nothing short of radiant. Codie’s love for all things tropical even inspired her wedding theme, so this setting was just perfect for her.
