Polly & Rigel | Christian Orthodox Wedding | Austin

Polly and Rigel are amazing. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more laid-back bride and groom, ever.

Their wedding was held at St. John’s church in Cedar Park, with the service indoors and a rockin’ white tent right outside. Polly crocheted all of the little boutonnieres that were later given away as wedding favors. It was a totally gorgeous afternoon!
