Ivory & Sage Weddings

  • Planner
  • Offers 5 services
  • Serves Athens, TX

I graduated in 2018 with a bachelor’s degree in business management, and throughout college I received certifications in marketing, event management and advertising. I absolutely love my job and all the challenges that come with it, and I feel I’ve been thoroughly prepared for anything that could be thrown my way. ​ I started this company in January of 2020, when I started planning a friend's wedding and realized my passion wasn't just event planning, it was wedding planning. I took the time to train and understand different types of weddings, so that I can make sure my job is done right the first time.

I can’t say enough great things about Maeghan and Brooklyn! Hiring them as our day-of planners was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the moment we brought them on board, they brought a sense of calm and professionalism that allowed us to truly enjoy the lead-up to our big day. On the wedding day itself, they were nothing short of miracle workers. They coordinated every detail flawlessly, ensuring that everything went off without a hitch. From managing the timeline to liaising with vendors, their attention to detail was incredible. I felt completely at ease knowing that they were in charge, allowing me and my family to focus on celebrating. What truly stood out was their ability to handle any unexpected challenges with grace and poise. When a last-minute hiccup arose, they jumped into action and resolved the issue without me even knowing! They kept everything running smoothly, allowing us to savor every moment. Not only were they both professional, but they were also a joy to work with. Their positivity and enthusiasm was contagious, and they genuinely cared about making our day special. Our guests were impressed by how seamlessly everything flowed, and I can’t thank them enough for their hard work and dedication. If you’re considering a day-of planner for your wedding, I wholeheartedly recommend Ivory and Sage Weddings. They will ensure your day is everything you’ve dreamed of and more. Thank you for making our wedding day truly magical!

Annie Austin Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Athens, TX

I’m Annie, a Texas wedding photographer with a love for honest connection and photographs that feel lived in. My work blends documentary storytelling with an editorial touch, creating images that feel as real as the day itself. I take time to know my couples, understand their story, and create a space where they can relax into being themselves. The result is imagery that feels intentional, emotional, and true to who you are. Whether you’re planning something intimate or a full-on celebration, I’m there to quietly witness the moments that matter and guide you when you need it.

Awarded Best of Zola
TLDR: I could not have picked a better photographer and I truly believe that Annie would be perfect for absolutely anyone. Her energy is infectious in a way that really brings up your excitement levels but also keeps your anxiety down. My husband is very introverted and was really worried about photos, but she kept him comfortable and in his element in a way I truly don’t believe anyone else would have. As for myself, I felt beautiful and gorgeous the entire time because of her and her partner. For the work she did and the amount of effort she puts into our photos, I believe her prices are incredibly fair. If anything, she’s undercutting herself. I will absolutely be recommending Annie to anyone and everyone. Now for the longer part of the review! We got married on May 30th, 2024 and we were doing our wedding a little differently. Instead of doing private vows or doing our vows at the ceremony, we did our vows at our rehearsal dinner. That is also when we allowed friends and family to come up and say something. The reason we did this route is because my husband is introverted and not a public speaker while I am the complete opposite. He also really wanted to see my walk down the aisle as our first look instead of a private look. Me, on the other hand, wanted at least our family and close friends to witness our vows. So we compromised! On top of it being two separate days, I was very adamant that I wanted two photographers along with wanting to capture the little things, such as my grandparents holding hands or our friends doing silly things at a table. I don’t mind staged photos, but I really wanted more natural focused shots. It was surprisingly difficult to find someone who was able to both days and within our price range. When we stumbled upon Annie, it felt like fate. She was so easy to figure things out with. Instead of an engagement photo session, she was happy to do our rehearsal dinner instead. She was there for any questions I had and the forms she had us fill out were super detailed! It really helped getting our thoughts together and deciding what was most important for our wedding. The day before the wedding, she vibed so well with everyone at the rehearsal dinner. She even got perfect photos of our dogs, who are honestly like our children. The day of the wedding, Annie and her second photographer (who I’ve completely blanked on the name, my fault for taking so long to write a review!) were amazing. Every single one of our friends had compliments for them and just LOVED their energy. Annie kept me calm and collected while the second was fully invested in my husband. I don’t think the wedding would have gone as smoothly without those two. The photos I received back? Better than I could ever dream of. Truly. They got beautiful shots of my grandparents dancing, my dad talking to one of his nephews, his mom talking with his brother. Just candid shots that looked real and natural. I am unbelievably so happy with Annie and the work she put in for us. Photographs are one of the most important things for me at our wedding and she truly blew it out of the park.We thank her for all her work from the bottom of our hearts and will always cherish the memories she gave us.

Awarded Best of Zola
“When it came to my wedding it was imperative that I connected with my photographer who was going to capture the happiest day of my life. I had talked to about 7 photographers in my planning process and yeah their work was great but none gave me the confidence to hire and commit. Well then I met Winnie, and she was the only person who took the time to want to meet me and get to know us. She immediately scheduled a call and just wanted to listen. She gave me the butterflies I needed and I knew she was the one I needed with me on my special day. On top of that, her work was impeccable and the exact style I wanted. I can’t say enough great things about Winnie and how she came to deliver. I’m obsessed with my photos and she was also my emotional support on my wedding day. My entire family loves her and her energy. It’s something about her authenticity and kindness that makes you feel confident confident about her executing the goal. I highly recommend her and suggest you check out her phenomenal work. Love you Winnie!!!!

When you close your eyes & imagine your wedding day, I'm sure it's not just the flowers, the dress, or the beautiful venue you see-it's the way your partner looks at you. The quiet, sacred moments shared between family. The joy that feels almost too big to put into words. Couples who value memories, who love timeless light & airy imagery & a photographer that puts your priorities first, whether that's making sure you get to read your private vows to each other or getting that one picture of your grandmother's pendant on your bouquet. I’m about you, all about you on your wedding day.

Hey new friends! We’re Sam + Kyle elopement photographers splitting our time between the PNW and the SW in our RV. It takes a whole lot of badassery to make the decision to elope and we are very into that kind of energy. We believe in making memories and images that capture all of the big feelings, and the in-between moments that you want to relive over and over again. You know, the kind of photos that hang on your wall and make ya smile real big because you remember exactly how you felt in that moment. We are so glad that you’re here and can’t wait to run wild with you.

Sam & Kyle have been such a joy to get to watch work with other couples. Having a husband and wife team is special to begin with, but Sam and Kyle especially have a way of making couples feel comfortable and in charge of their wedding days without being distracting. These two are absolute gems as humans beings, but their technical skills in photography just take the experience to a whole new level. Sam and Kyle pour their hearts and souls into helping couples plan every portion of their day as well as into every ounce of hand-editing they do to each couple's gallery. The Dropped Pin offers a truly invaluable experience that every couple deserves on their wedding day. If I had my wedding day to do all over again, these two would no doubt be my photographers, my planning guides, and my support system on the most important day of my life.

My wedding was 9.27.2024 . It was amazing! The venue is beautiful, it’s so different from any wedding I’ve ever been to. Everyone loved how unique it is and the owners went above and beyond for us. They were truly wonderful. They literally built anything I wanted for the ceremony, they attended to the children while they made s’mores, they really went above and beyond. Pictures don’t do this place justice it’s absolutely beautiful!

I absolutely loveddd my experience at Wylde Acres! Mrs. Robin was extremely kind and truly a blessing to me and my family. Wylde Acres is truly a one stop shop! Decor, overnight stay, plenty of space to choose where to have your ceremony. The venue itself is beautiful, and it was such a relief to find a place that offers overnight accommodations at a reasonable rate. Most of my wedding party and children were able to stay, which made everything so much easier and more enjoyable. I couldn’t have asked for a better venue or host — thank you, Mrs. Robin and Wylde Acres, for helping make my wedding so special!
