I don’t know it is, but it seems like every year I have one or two venues that I just constantly end up at. For the first part of 2025, I spent a ton of time at Pecan Springs Ranch! I shot associate weddings, second shot, shot a couple of weddings of my own, and documented the AWPA Olympics. I basically lived at Pecan Springs Ranch and Hummingbird House in 2025, and I’m not mad about it at all!

A bit on Pecan Springs Ranch…

Pecan Springs Ranch is a great venue that has something for everyone (and it has an Austin address!). If you want it to have a more rustic vibe, you can play up the ranch vibes. There’s a little mini barn-like building called the love shack and overgrown field spaces. If you want to go more elegant, they have great manicured landscapes around the main building and a beautiful pond. It’s a huge venue with a little bit for everyone. It can be hard to find a venue in Austin (*not* the hill country) that has a sprawling ranch, but Pecan Springs kind of has it all.

Megan and Reece went the more elegant route, but incorporated tons of fun bright colored florals by Meek and Wild (who is just the sweetest ever, btw). They did an outdoor ceremony under the huge shade trees, THE cutest vintage getaway car, and even offered hand rolled cigars throughout the evening.

A Tangent on the Myth of Bridezillas

Megan looked stunning and I just loved her vibe in general. This is a tangent and absolutely not related to anyone at Megan’s wedding, but it’s always funny to me when people ask me if I’ve had a ton of “bridezillas”. Because like… no. I almost never experience a bride being less than lovely. *IF* there’s someone less-than-pleasant, it’s almost always a bridesmaid or mother (bride’s or groom’s). But back to Megan. She was gorgeous and came across so warm and a bit bold. Reece was more sentimental and a bit more reserved. I think every couple needs that balance.

Stop Writing, Show Me Wedding Photos.

Anyways, I’m pretty sure you guys don’t actually read this stuff and just scroll down and say “pictures, PLEASE”. No judgement, that’s what I do when I’m reading wedding blogs. So I’ll stop dragging on and get to the part you really care about… Pictures from Megan and Reece’s Summer wedding at Pecan Springs Ranch!
