Who better to have on the cover of our annual Romance & Bridal issue than a real Austin couple that is very much in love? When we saw this photo of Joanna and Sam Parigi, an outtake from pictures taken of them for their Save the Date invitation, we knew we had stumbled upon an authentic, sweet moment shared between a young couple just before one of the most exciting times in their lives—their wedding. Held at Green Pastures, their reception was full of music, dancing, and many unique details special to them—a send off for the life of adventure and laughter that we are certain is ahead for these two. Get an inside look at their nuptials in our “Real Weddings” feature, where we profile three of our favorite and most inspired weddings. Alina Prax of La Dolce Vita Photography thoughtfully captured our cover image as well as the whimsical, lively photos from the Parigi wedding.
