How do I even begin? Diana and Michael’s wedding day was beautiful: there was some rain in the morning for good luck, and then wonderful overcast skies graced us for the rest of the day. For April in Texas, it was amazingly comfortable. And in the end, people went inside of the lovely Mercury Hall for refreshments, cake, and taking photos in the photobooth, but spent most of their time dancing under lanterns and string lights on the lawn. It was laid-back, it was fun, it was full of Austin Beerworks‘ beer and Diana’s hand-crafted details… In short, it was amazing seeing these two people that I’ve known for years get married and celebrate in a way that absolutely reflected their personalities.
