Bridal Portraits at Villa Del Lago Events Pavillion

Often in the South, brides choose to have formal bridal portraits taken. It can be so beneficial because the bride then knows how everything will look together on the day of her wedding. Such a fun tradition! For Jerika's bridals, we rented Villa Del Lago. Jerika absolutely loved the European elegance, it's romantic and natural vibe. Nestled on the edge of a hill overlooking Lake Travis outside of Austin, Villa Del Lago was the perfect setting for her bridal shoot. Jerika's father passed away briefly before her wedding, so she had one of his favorite ties sewn into her dress for her something blue. This sentimental touch, along with the architecture, the flowers and the waterfall all worked together to create such memorable bridal portraits. -- Jenna McElroy Photography
