Courtney Sprague Photography: Amy & Jason: from rehearsal to action!

A shared love for baking culinary treats requiring a patience level I have not yet achieved...A common laugh capable of inspiring even those in their grumpiest of moments to giggle...A quirky set of prerequisites as to when a movie will be on the official "to view" list (including a strict adherence to "no costumes"). For many reasons, Amy and Jason are the perfect match. The reason that kept coming to my mind during their wedding weekend was a natural reaction to being surrounded by the friends and family who had come to Austin to witness them pledge their lives to one another. To see them interact with their friends and family who have loved them through things from training wheels, braces and career changes affirmed something that I've seen in them even in the relatively brief time that I've been blessed to call each to of them my friend. Both Amy and Jason deeply care for the people God has placed in their lives. God has truly given them a heart for others, and they spend their lives in a purposeful way looking after the people they know and love. Their marriage is another testimony to God's grace and divine appointment; He's given them one another to not only work together in a shared purpose of ministering to others, but I know they'll spend the rest of their lives selflessly looking out for one another as well. Here are some of my favorite images from their fun weekend!

Amy's sweet new nephew was happy to lend his pacifier as a stand-in wedding ring during their rehearsal.

The adorable flower girl and ring bearer were also very helpful, of course!

For two true Texans like Amy & Jason, a natural choice for a rehearsal dinner is the fabulous barbecue cuisine at the County Line. As you can see in the images below, the wonderful food with which they placated their guests was not enough to avoid the embarrassing stories that are a must at any rehearsal dinner.
