** Editor’s update: be sure to also check out their engagement, Natalie’s bridal, and the new family newborn session **

I’ve been shooting long enough (pre-digital) to see the progression of smiling, happy faces  to backs of cell phones lining the aisle during  a wedding processional. It is a bit saddening. As you can imagine, my heart did leaps of joy when I found out Natalie and Michael were having and “unplugged” ceremony.  This idea of asking guests to turn away from their devices for 30 minutes meant everyone was truly paying witness and present.. Here is part one of their wedding day, just before the bride walked down the aisle at the Terrace Club in Dripping Springs.
