Kaci & Roy’s vintage Victorian junkyard wedding bash

Kaci & Roy got hitched at The Cathedral of Junk — her in a 1920s gown and him in a Victorian top hat and tails (and pants and stuff 🙂 ). Their ceremony featured a Unity Volcano ceremony(!) and a reading from Shel Silverstein. After their outdoor ceremony, they headed to an old Austin music venue for beer, BBQ, and southern fried foods.

Aryanna & Craig’s vintage, big easy-style wedding/party!

Aryanna & Craig really wanted to have their wedding in their house. However, cramming more than eighty-five people into their humble, little (one-bedroom/one bathroom) home seemed unlikely. But they were determined. With some careful spacial planning and a little re-arranging, they were able to successfully throw a killer wedding and awesome party, New Orleans style!
