A Tuscany Inspired Texas Wedding Workshop & Shoot at Le San Michele in Buda, TX

As soon as I saw this style board I was in! This was a dreamy styled shoot to participate in, hosted by the very talented and kindhearted Jessica Frey! {Jessica Frey Photography}

After walking in the rustic blue door of this perfect Texas Tuscany style Villa, Le San Michele, we were greeted with hand crafted italian cocktails by She + Him Bartending of Austin. I mingled and networked with other photographers who came in from all across Texas and even Mr. De Cuba from Aruba! Jessica had a gorgeous press magazine style handbook ready to give us some excellent tips to benefit our shooting, marketing, business skills and brand identity. I think I was so excited I chattered like a dingy chatterbox – probably due to the italian cocktail also. But thankfully everyone shared the excitement. The rain and fog from the morning cleared out just in time to open up the amazing Tuscan style gardens behind the villa for a photographers’ paradise.

The shoot was incredibly styled by a talented team of vendors, credited below. And at the end of the night we all sat down to eat at the styled reception table a delicious Italian dinner, complete with the best Italian Cream Cake I’ve ever EVER had by Simply Delicious Custom Cakes in Austin. When I found her, all I could do was hug her in gratitude it was so dang good. The evening light faded and we were under cafe lights and it was just one of those picture perfect cinematic moments I’ll never forget being a part of.

So here’s my take on this gorgeous day!
