I have a really fun meeting yesterday with a potential client and she mentioned that she saw on my website there was a photo of Wendy’s with a bride and groom leaving it. It took me a second but I remember what it was immediately and it is one of my favorite images from Vladi and Jeremy’s wedding last year at the Hyatt Regency Austin.
So here it is, a little story about how that photo was taken.
The story is this – whenever I can, I always ride with the wedding party between the ceremony and reception, particularly if there is a long break. In this case there was at least an hour and a half, so the plan was to go from St Ignatius church from South Austin to the state capitol to get some photos on the grounds, with a possible stop in downtown Austin.
On the way over, people were getting hungry in the car so the decision was made to stop at a local Wendy’s. So I followed them in:


So here it is the story behind the image at Wendy’s. We did stop by the capitol and took a lot of photos there but didn’t have time for downtown Austin. In my view, a few images at Wendy’s beats anything in downtown Austin. We did, however, stop by a park south of townlake (now Ladybird’s lake) for some photo with Austin skyline, but this moment really stood out for me that day.
When you see a couple as relaxed as Vladimira and Jeremy on their wedding day, stopping by Wendy’s to grab a bite, you know the rest of the day is going to be really fun – and it was.
