This styled shoot at Villa Antonia was nothing short of a Mediterranean dream transported to the heart of the Texas Hill Country. Nestled just outside of Austin, this venue offers an old-world charm that feels more like a getaway to Lake Como than a drive through Jonestown.


Collaborating with Tatum and Austin Maulding for their first anniversary session allowed us to capture a love that is both seasoned and celebratory, all set against the sweeping stone terraces and ivy-covered balconies of this breathtaking estate.


The Venue: A Slice of Italy in Austin

It’s easy to see why Villa Antonia Event Venue is fully booked for the 2024-2025 season. Between the panoramic hill country views and the winding stone staircases, every corner of this property is a photographer’s playground. For this session, we leaned into the venue's natural elegance, utilizing the golden hour light to highlight the intricate architecture and lush greenery.


Styled to Perfection

The creative team behind this shoot spared no detail in creating a high-end, editorial atmosphere. Tatum’s look was flawlessly executed by Jaee Hill Beauty, featuring a timeless hair and makeup style that held up perfectly against the Texas breeze.


The celebration was rounded out with a stunning creation from Sooo Yummy Bakery, adding a touch of sweetness to the anniversary festivities. From the "I do" archives to this one-year milestone, capturing the connection between Tatum and Austin was a highlight of the season.


Capturing the Magic: Photo & Video

Working alongside a powerhouse team of creatives—including The Bergerons, Lensburg Wedding Films, and the visionary work of Rae DeLain Weddings—ensured that every angle of this anniversary was documented with intention. We focused on a mix of wide, cinematic shots of the villa and intimate, soulful close-ups of the couple to tell a complete story of their first year of marriage.


Planning Your Austin Wedding?

If you’ve been dreaming of a venue that feels like a European escape, Villa Antonia should be at the top of your list. With limited dates remaining for the upcoming seasons, now is the time to secure your spot in this hillside paradise.


Congratulations to Tatum and Austin on one beautiful year! It was an honor to document your love at such an iconic Austin landmark.
