Julian and Brianna's Hill Country Wedding at The Marquardt Ranch
Julian and Brianna's wedding at The Marquardt Ranch had everything we love about a Hill Country wedding: a first look on the overlook, vows under the oaks, golden hour on the bluff and a packed dance floor under the glass cross. Their bridesmaids wore rust, burgundy and sage, and Julian and his groomsmen matched in ivory suits.

Getting Ready
Brianna got ready with her bridesmaids in the bridal suite, where the big windows filled the room with soft light. Julian got ready with his groomsmen, and then they headed out under the oaks for a few photos together.
A First Look on the Overlook
Before the ceremony, Brianna met Julian on the covered overlook for their first look. They exchanged gifts there with the Hill Country behind them, a quiet few minutes together before the day picked up speed.
The Ceremony Under the Oaks
Julian waited at the wooden cross with his groomsmen while Brianna walked down the stone path aisle toward him. The cross was dressed in red and burgundy florals with white ribbon, and the oaks kept the ceremony shaded. After their vows, they walked back up the aisle as husband and wife with their guests cheering on both sides.
Wedding Party and Golden Hour Portraits
Their wedding party brought a lot of energy to photos under the oaks. Then we took Julian and Brianna out to the bluff for golden hour, with the Hill Country rolling out behind them, and finished with a few portraits among the oak trees.
Reception in the Hall
The reception was in the ranch's stone hall, with gold chargers on the tables and a sweetheart table against the stone wall. Julian and Brianna made a grand entrance, shared their first dance under the glass cross and cut their cake by the stone staircase.
The dance floor stayed full all night, and they finished with a send-off down the lit stone path through a tunnel of their guests.
Congratulations, Julian and Brianna!
