Renowned for their hummingbird gardens and nearly unlimited number of spots to capture the perfect wedding photos on camera, the Hum-mingbird House is one of the premier venues in South Austin to host a garden wedding. The location alone — shot by Daniel C. Photography — would have been enough to impress but, combinedcombined with the chic stylistic choices and fabulous pops of peaches and lime greens, the setting was simply stunning. That evening, guests were invited to enjoy a gorgeous four-tiered wedding cake by Simon Lee Bakery, and the couple added pizzazz with their unique selection of live music: first, a three-piece mariachi band, andand then an evening of dancing by local R&B band, Dysfunkshun Junkshun. All flower arrange-ments were by The Flower Studio.

Heisman trophy winner Robert Griffin III and his gorgeous wife-to-be, Rebecca Liddicoat, were in attendance.
Jenny Barroso& Terrance Ganaway | April 14, 2012Something about garden weddings gets us every time. And this long-awaited marriage between Terrance Ganaway, the 2011 running back for Baylor University, and his beautiful bride, Jenny, was no different. The couple chose a spectacu-lar venue for their Central Texas wedding with soft, romantic hues and elegant spring arrangements to complement the bride’s gorgeous lace gown.
Throughout the wedding, the couple laughed, smiled, and even engaged in a bit of lighthearted teasing. "I would take a photo of the couple, and while the bride was posing all beautifully, the groom would sneak in a few quirky faces,” said the photographer from Bliss Photography. The groom graduated from Baylor University in 2010, where the bride is cur-rently in her senior year. The couple reside in Waco, Texas.
