Being a dog-friendly venue, we have greeted our fair share of dogs on couple’s wedding day!

Brides often like to bring their pups along while doing their bridal portraits. Brides still receive photos with their best friends but take some of the guessing out of if they will fully cooperate or not.

Bethany and Brandon had photos of their three pups displayed on their dessert table. Kayla and Stewart’s dog was a hunting companion so they had the most creative cake featuring their pooch. Molly and Brycen used their signature drinks for the opportunity to incorporate their little white ball of fur. Tabeen and Greg even had a shaved ice truck at cocktail hour that featured their dog, Ralph, who had his own flavor!

They serve as the perfect photo companion. Even if it happens to be impromptu such as our little mascot Ellie jumping in a Brides of Austin shoot with Deep Eddy.
