Caroline is an aspiring model, so, you can imagine the fun we had with her session at Mayfield Park and Preserve and then downtown Austin on 6th Street.
And, downtown, the guys were quite interested! Several of them asked if they could ask her out. I’d just say, “You’ll have to ask her mom; she’s only 17.” It was fun to see Caroline get so much attention.
Caroline, Thank you very much for such a fun session! I can’t wait to hear what you think of the images. You can use your password to view the whole gallery.

This week, the Hilton Garden Inn in downtown Austin threw a nice reception for vendors in the Austin area. It was a great way to meet other professionals in the wedding industry and see what the Hilton Garden Inn Austin Downtown has to offer for weddings and other large events.
Here are some great reasons to host your event at the
Hilton Garden Inn Austin Downtown:
Staff
They know their stuff. Plus, the key managers have worked together at that venue for a full decade. They know each other and can respond quickly and accurately.
Personal Attention
If your needs are not being met, they will adjust to you. Just ask anyone who tried the vegan quesadillas individually prepared by the chef.
Attention to Detail
The signature cocktail for the event was a Garden Goddess. Think pear-tini meets rosemary lemonade. The only problem with this little yumminess is that they are sweet and therefore stronger than they seem. If you plan to serve these, be sure you have reserved a block of rooms for your event!
Relationships
They are “in” with so many great vendors. When you need a recommendation for a florist or a DJ, they will have quality referrals for you.
Food
Stellar. Beautiful. Plenty.
Flexible Space
The party space can handle almost 200 guests for a typical wedding reception dinner/dance. Plus, two additional rooms make great spaces for a quiet coffee lounge for family to visit and a kids room to keep them entertained and happy.
Valet Parking
Parking downtown can be a nightmare, but the Hilton Garden Inn’s valet service is top notch. Your guests will feel pampered and everyone will have an easy trip from the ceremony to the reception.
The View
18th floor. Next to Interstate-35 with a 180-degree view of everything from the University of Texas campus to the State Capitol building and grounds to the full length of 6th Street…and all the way out to Lady Bird Lake and Hill Country. Amazing. Gorgeous. Beautiful.
Our advice: plan your party to start ~30 minutes before sunset and let the view be part of your entertainment. Watch the city come alive at night!
Bonus
Book a large enough event between now and the end of 2010 and get a complimentary iPad, which you can then use on their free WiFi!
Jared is one of our Groupon friends. We met downtown for a great wandering photo shoot. We discovered some really cool little spots!
Opal Divine’s (@opaldivines) always has great service. We were there in the middle of the afternoon, so we had plenty of places to work without being in anyone’s way. Opal’s welcomed us warmly.
We also found a couple of really cool doors and entry ways.
Kung Fu Saloon (@kungfusaloon) was fabulous! They are one of the first bars who have TabbedOut for the iPhone. What more could you want: Kung Fu theme, Chuck Norris art, a great selection of beer, a full bar, a great patio, and arcade games like skee ball.
We also found some great sidewalks and alleys along our way.
Our last stop was the south side of the 360 condo. At Garrido’s Modern Mexican Kitchen (@garridos), we found their great patio lounge that is perfect for a margarita at sunset.
Thank you, Jared for a great wandering photo shoot. It was great fun.
