Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.  Cinderella and her glass slippers and horse and carriage.  Jasmine and her magic carpets.  Belle and her big poofy dress. Sometimes fairy tales are just, well, fairy tales.  They’re nothing more than a dream.  A child-like, unrealistic, butterflies and rainbows dream.  But in a little place called Austin, Texas, fairy tales do exist.

Her name is Aundie, short for Aundrea.  His name is Adam.  Their hearts are as big and bold as a finale song of a Broadway musical.  And their love is as passionate and strong as those characters of a  fairytale.  I’m a better person for having photographed this wedding.  For having been a part of Adam and Aundie’s lives.  I’ve gained two life-long friends and am forever grateful for their love and support.

Adam and Aundie, you two amaze me with your spirits.  Everyone who knows them, knows exactly what I’m talking about.  Thank you for living and loving life (and each other!) as passionately as you do.

Enjoy.

Step 1 of a Fairytale: Have knock-out shoes.

Step 2: Add in some sparkly jewelry.

Step 3: Oh, and don’t forget the crown and gloves.

Step 5: And the big poofy dress.

Step 6: A princess.

Aundie, you are breathtaking!  I love these shots Jesie grabbed of Aundie opening her gift from Adam.

Brad Paisley tickets and her University of Texas class ring.

Aundie’s mom was fabulous.  Love her!

Meanwhile, let’s not forget about our prince.

Lovin’ the Kleenex Adam took to the sanctuary! Just in case!

After a few wedding party shots, it was time to head to the University Christian Church on campus at the University of Texas.

It’s just about go time and Aundie was fighting back the tears.

Aundie’s sister!

Stay tuned for part II and more fairytale goodness!
