It was our distinct honor and privilege to work with Traci, Michael, and their family and friends on their special day at St. Catherine of Siena in south Austin.
Some of our favorite moments
- the way Traci and Michael leaned forehead-to-forehead during their First Look Moment; it’s just so “them”
- the loving-while-witty priest, Fr. Pat
- the deep sense of love and adoration not only for the couple, but also for the sacrament they shared with Christ
- the great sense of humor from many of their family and friends, especially Traci’s dad
- the “like no one is watching” style of dancing…truly from the heart and soul, even from Michael’s grandmother
- the way in which everyone treated everyone like best friends and close family…from couple to attendants to family to guests to vendors, we all felt honored to be present on this special day
- the fun rabble rousing between college affiliations
- the strong/sincere hugs from Traci’s mom, Shannon, at the end of the day; these are the moments we live for
So, to go with those sentiments, here are some of our favorite images from Traci & Michael’s big day.

We had the honor of attending Traci & Michael’s rehearsal tonight. What a fun wedding this is going to be tomorrow! Here’s a little sneak peek!
Happy Bride. Proud Dad.
She looks like this tonight? Imagine tomorrow!
The groom is all grins, too.
And tonight’s star of the show! He’ll get upstaged tomororrow, for sure!
Michael & Traci, we are so happy for you both…and honored to serve such a special role in your weekend.
We just love the Bollywood event hosted by the Austin chapter of Room to Read. This annual event raises money to build a library in India and gives girls, in particular, access to education and learning.
This fun event features Indian food, music, art, and dance. And, in just a few short hours, the event raised almost enough money for an entire library!
Kudos, Room to Read Austin! Good work.

It was a joy and pleasure to meet the Kyrish family–and their daughters, sons-in-law, and grandchildren–at their home. Not everyone was excited for family portraits, which made for some great expressions!

Laura, Thank you so much for inviting us to join your family!
The WilCo Entrepreneurs Community hosts a regular Talent Connect event where job-searching candidates give a 90-second speed pitch to companies with openings. Recruiters use the pitches and resumes together to decide who they will bring in for the live interviews. It’s a pretty novel concept, so this event was buzzing with activity.

This was our second year to participate in the Austin Twestival. We were honored to be part of an event designed to raise funds for Meals On Wheels And More!
“…we raised $1,075, which equates to more than 400 meals for MOWAM clients! Best of all, we had fun doing it.
For those who would still like to make a donation to MOWAM, please know that our donation site should remain open till March 31st.
Thanks again for supporting Austin Twestival. Every contribution you made, every dollar you gave and every message you sent out on Facebook and Twitter helped MOWAM in a special way. Hats off to you.”
Thank you to all the Twestival volunteers for your time and efforts with the event.
We’ll post images from the photobooth soon!
There are a lot of networking opportunities in Austin, but none is quite like the Austin Elite Networking. Don’t let the name fool you, these guys and gals are real, genuine, and down-to-Earth….as you can tell by their willingness to be fun in front of the camera.

Celebration of Life Luncheon 2010 hosted by the Austin Area Alumnae of Zeta Tau Alpha
For thirteen years, now, the Austin Area Alumnae chapter of Zeta Tau Alpha has hosted a luncheon to celebrate the life of breast cancer survivors. The event also raises funds for breast cancer research and support.
(click any image to go to the full gallery)Every detail was perfect.
Our Mistress of Ceremonies, Teri Gruca was fabulous!
Audrey Sides is the current president of the Austin Area Alumnae chapter of Zeta Tau Alpha.
Lindsay Taylor served as the Chair of the Celebration of Life Luncheon while her mom battled through surgery, chemo, and radiation for breast cancer.
Kami Armstrong performed her own composition, The Cure, which she wrote for her teacher, Ms. Lopez, when she was diagnosed with breast cancer.
The fashion show features survivors as models.
And this lovely lady has been modeling for the show since 2002!
Thank you, Marilyn, for all your years of participation in the fashion show portion of the event!
Lindsay’s entire family turned out for the Celebration!
Here is most of the committee who planned this lovely event. You’ll find these wonderful women working in higher education, real estate, and for companies large and small. You’ll more likely recognize their faces from other volunteer endeavors around Austin!
As a member of Zeta Tau Alpha, I am thrilled to be a sponsor of and volunteer for this lovely event. My efforts have been richly rewarded through this amazing volunteer experience.

Back to one of our favorite locations: Mayfield Park & Preserve, we met the Ortiz family. It was a very hot day, but we plowed through and got some smiles, anyway!

Riley’s parents were all set for her to be a boy! They just “knew”. They’ve actually had to adjust to a little pink bundle of joy.
Oh, and at this age, she prefers Mom’s alma mater, Florida, over Dad’s, Louisiana State. Don’t worry, it won’t be too long before she’s a Daddy’s Girl!
