Kelly and Aaron’s Star Wars/Dr. Who/Disney-Inspired Hummingbird House Wedding • Austin TX

August 21, 2015

Kelly and Aaron’s Hummingbird House wedding is absolutely one of my favorites! The main color was purple (yay) and the inspiration was Star Wars, Dr. Who, and Disney! I loved that they did things their own way and celebrated what they love as individuals and as a couple! The most memorable part of the night was during the reception, when Kelly earned the title of Best Brand-New Wife of the Year by surprising Aaron with what dreams are made of. He looked like a kid on Christmas morning! Other favorite moments from the wedding are sprinkled in with the pictures of this glorious wedding celebration!

Thanks to all the fantastic vendors who made this event so awesome and Kelly and Aaronish: Venue: Hummingbird House • Planner: Ooh La Lovely Events • Officiant: Elizabeth Smythe • Bridal sash: custom made and beaded by bride’s mother • Catering: Trudy’s • Cake: The Sweet Stuff • Bartending: WeTendBar • DJ: Spacecraft Entertainment • Makeup: Shelby Tarleton at Pink Lady Lash • Hair: Mercy Barney at Sophisticates Salon • Floral design: Central Market Floral Department • Star Wars surprise awesomeness: 501st Legion

Oops, I had it wrong. It’s actually “May the S’mores be with you…”star-wars-wedding-dr-who-wedding-hummingbird-house-wedding_0002 star-wars-wedding-dr-who-wedding-hummingbird-house-wedding_0003 star-wars-wedding-dr-who-wedding-hummingbird-house-wedding_0004 star-wars-wedding-dr-who-wedding-hummingbird-house-wedding_0005

Kelly and Aaron got their money’s worth out of these light sabers, which is impressive, because they have few enemies to use them against in their day-to-day lives.star-wars-wedding-dr-who-wedding-hummingbird-house-wedding_0014 star-wars-wedding-dr-who-wedding-hummingbird-house-wedding_0015 star-wars-wedding-dr-who-wedding-hummingbird-house-wedding_0016 star-wars-wedding-dr-who-wedding-hummingbird-house-wedding_0017

The tree was attacking Aaron pre-ceremony, but that’s what best men are for!star-wars-wedding-dr-who-wedding-hummingbird-house-wedding_0018 star-wars-wedding-dr-who-wedding-hummingbird-house-wedding_0019

Aaron did not disappoint – I rate his reaction to seeing his bride for the first time as an A! There were tears.star-wars-wedding-dr-who-wedding-hummingbird-house-wedding_0020

I love the way he’s looking at his beautiful daughter!

Because kissing once is not enough, especially when you can do it in black and white! Love this shot of the newlyweds – so genuine.star-wars-wedding-dr-who-wedding-hummingbird-house-wedding_0025 star-wars-wedding-dr-who-wedding-hummingbird-house-wedding_0026 star-wars-wedding-dr-who-wedding-hummingbird-house-wedding_0027 star-wars-wedding-dr-who-wedding-hummingbird-house-wedding_0028 star-wars-wedding-dr-who-wedding-hummingbird-house-wedding_0029 star-wars-wedding-dr-who-wedding-hummingbird-house-wedding_0030star-wars-wedding-dr-who-wedding-hummingbird-house-wedding_0031

This announcement was epic.lightsaber announcement weddingstar wars wedding

When Kelly’s matron of honor stood up to do her speech, she got teary and Kelly helped her bring it on down…but later succumbed to the tears herself. Which is better anyway 🙂

We had some Time Warp, Thriller, and even Irish dancing, which Kelly nailed! She’s an amazing dancer, obviously. I told you they were cool.star-wars-wedding-dr-who-wedding-hummingbird-house-wedding_0046 star-wars-wedding-dr-who-wedding-hummingbird-house-wedding_0047

I thought this Polaroid photo booth was such a creative idea! Way to go, kids.star-wars-wedding-dr-who-wedding-hummingbird-house-wedding_0048 star-wars-wedding-dr-who-wedding-hummingbird-house-wedding_0049

The reception was already off the hook, but then…star-wars-wedding-dr-who-wedding-hummingbird-house-wedding_0050

Aaron couldn’t get over it! It was seriously the coolest surprise I’ve ever seen at a wedding!
