There’s something truly unforgettable about a black-tie black-tie Austin Proper Hotel wedding. Traveling from Charleston, South Carolina to capture this celebration at the Austin Proper Hotel, we knew it would be a destination wedding filled with elegance and charm. The bride’s timeless Monique Lhuillier lace gown, the groom’s classic tuxedo, and the sweeping views of downtown Austin all came together to create a love story that felt both modern and timeless. Every moment radiated sophistication — from heartfelt vows to champagne toasts — reminding us why Austin weddings are some of the most magical in the South.
Nestled in the heart of downtown Austin, the Austin Proper Hotel is one of the city’s most sought-after luxury wedding venues, and it’s easy to see why. The grand ballroom, with its soaring ceilings, glittering chandeliers, and modern architectural details, was the perfect backdrop for this luxury black-tie celebration. Guests danced the night away in a space that exuded both glamour and intimacy. Outside, the energy of downtown Austin flowed into the night — the charm of the city’s skyline, the hum of live music in the streets, and the excitement that only Austin can bring made this day even more unforgettable.
As Charleston wedding photographers, we were honored to document such a breathtaking destination wedding. The Austin Proper Hotel ballroom wedding offered the perfect blend of luxury, romance, and southern hospitality. From the couple’s emotional first look to their sparkler exit beneath the Texas night sky, every frame captured the beauty of love celebrated in style. If you’re dreaming of a downtown Austin wedding that feels both elegant and effortlessly chic, the Austin Proper Hotel is a venue that delivers timeless memories — and we can’t wait to return for more celebrations in this incredible city.
Many thanks to the incredible creative team who brought this dreamy black-tie Austin Proper Hotel wedding together. Every detail — from the bride’s couture gown to the elegant ballroom reception — was a reflection of true artistry and collaboration.
