There’s so much to enjoy when you have your wedding at the Sanctuary Event Space in Austin!

The glowing string lights that hang over the dinner tables, the gorgeous natural light in both getting ready spaces, the intimate size of the venue and the easy access to after party venues .. you know what I mean. :)

Kari and Dan had a cozy, candid wedding last fall with jewel tone flowers and a laid back attitude towards the day. We started off with a little bit of getting ready pictures for both the bride and groom. Dan’s green suit was so fun and different! I am a huge fan of photographing the getting ready since we get so many candids from the day!!

Kari’s sister dabs her under eye to avoid any mascara smears pre-ceremony. the getting ready space at the Sanctuary is large, spacious and tucked away from all the guests curious looks!
