I haven't had the privilege of visiting Marfa in Texas but it looks like one of those places that really should be on the must-visit' list. With it's iconic buildings and stunning landscape it makes for a unique backdrop to any wedding or photo shoot. Texas wedding photographer CLAYTON AUSTIN knocked it out of the park with Lenna & Jared's wedding that was held at LA MISTICA, a vacation rental home that allowed them the perfect environment for their intimate wedding.

The tradition that the one to catch the bride's bouquet will be next in line to marry certainly proved true for this couple. Jared proposed the very morning after her sister's wedding, during their breakfast overlooking Lady Bird Johnson Lake. They were married at another Texas landmark, the town of Marfa, which also inspired their wedding style. Their planners at Magic Hour Marfa created beautiful desert-like arrangements, and guests were served Mexican Korean fusion street food from Lenna and Jared's favourite hometown food truck. As an extra personal touch (and a nod to Jared's Masters in English Literature), they painted a backdrop with favourite quotes and passages - words that will always be dear to their hearts.

�For my dress I wanted something unique, but not outrageous. I always thought I would get married in a short dress, but fell in love with my mist grey strapless dress!"
