Exquisitely photographed by Bradford Martens, Dorothy and Mac’s garden wedding is a breathtaking combination of earthly beauty, originality, and romance. Inspired by the themes of naturalism and sensuality, the bride and groom incorporated their passions into their ceremony and reception flawlessly.

The Couple: Dorothy and Mac

The Wedding: 4.12.2014 – Umlauf Sculpture Garden & Museum, Austin, Texas

The Inspiration: We were inspired by the themes of naturalism and sensuality, with a hint of avant-garde. Our approach to our marriage is the same: the world is changing, and we want to define what marriage is for us and allow it to evolve for a new generation. Along the same vein, I wanted to find a venue that felt sacred. We chose the Umlauf Sculpture Garden and Museum in Austin – a stunning place. Sculptures of lovers, angels and saints set among beautiful gardens, old oak trees and a stream running through it.
