I’ve found my new favorite thing in the world besides chocolate, cuddly animals, and hot peppermint tea: small, intimate weddings at sunrise. Texas has these amazingly beautiful sunrises, and spending time outdoors before it gets too hot out is one of Lara and Daniel’s little pleasures. Their wedding ceremony was held under a giant tree in Zilker Park with only 17 people and 2 dogs in attendance. I’m so excited to share a few photos from this amazing celebration with you.

What area of zilker is this? I would like to have my ceremony at that tree.
Hi Hanah, it’s the big tree around Rock Island (which I think shows up on Google Maps), in the triangle between Barton Springs, Lou Neff, and Stratford.
Gorgeous! Where exactly in Zilker is this tree and how did u make it so private???
Oh man…I love intimate stuff like this. You captured it beautifully! I love the running pictures. :)
Great photography Elissa! You really captured the joy and the positive energy. I love small weddings.
THAT TREE! so perfectly lovely. amazing wedding and photography.
Loved seeing your wedding pictures, Lara. Congratulations!!!
Zohmygoodness the shot of the elopement with the sunrise in the background and the tree arcing over them. Be still my heart. So wonderfully and beautifully documented. Also her dress is to die for.
