11.11.11 is for Siobhan & Johnny’s Hill Country Wedding « Wedding Warriors - [...] 11.11.11 mean something to you? Well, it did for Siobhan & Johnny, when they decided to marry at Siobhan’s parents Hill Country home in Wimberley. The setting, a field flanked by Oak Trees, which became a magical twilight setting with festoon lighting, and other dramatic lighting created by Eric Holtz Entertainment out of San Antonio. Add in some musicians with a Bluegrass twist, then a DJ to get everyone warmed up under some pretty cold Texas skies! The food, the food, sigh . . . a gourmet treat for this foodie couple – Salt and Time with their Charcuterie and then Austin Catering for some truly fab Fall Cuisine! Some beautiful photos from Matthew Johnson Studios to follow, but check out this adorable couple at: http://www.matthewjohnsonstudios.com/blog/?p=2202 [...]
