Tucked in the Texas Hill Country, just outside of Austin, Villa Antonia provided the perfect backdrop for Rodrigo and Nicole’s unforgettable wedding celebration. Perched on a hillside in Jonestown, Texas, the Mediterranean-style venue offered panoramic views, ivy-covered archways, and rustic elegance that paired perfectly with the couple’s vibrant and culturally rich celebration.


From the very start, Rodrigo and Nicole’s wedding radiated joy, energy, and color. The floral palette of orange, magenta, pink, and white transformed the venue into a celebration of love and life. It wasn’t just a wedding—it was a full-on party that honored two cultures, two families, and one beautiful love story.



Nicole wore a gown she had handpicked in the Philippines, a nod to her heritage and family roots. Elegant and flowing, it captured both grace and tradition. Rodrigo, looking classic and sharp in a tuxedo, brought in the charm with his big smile and relaxed energy. Together, they looked like a modern fairytale couple—elegant, but never too serious to break into laughter.



The ceremony was held despite the steady Texas rain, but no one seemed to mind. In fact, it only added to the magic. Guests gathered under umbrellas, smiling and laughing as the couple said their vows surrounded by the soft mist and cloud-covered views of the Hill Country. As Rodrigo and Nicole made their joyful exit down the aisle, guests pulled out bubble guns—a playful surprise that filled the air with shimmering bubbles as a live mariachi band burst into song. It was a moment of pure celebration.



Rodrigo’s Mexican heritage and Nicole’s Filipino background were beautifully woven into every part of the day. From the mariachi serenade to traditional food, music, and warm family customs, both cultures were deeply honored. And while traditions were present, the wedding never felt stiff or formal—it was energetic, welcoming, and full of personality.



The reception kicked off with high spirits and never lost momentum. A beer donkey greeted guests with ice-cold cervezas, a live band kept the dance floor full well into the night, and a cigar roller offered fresh hand-rolled cigars for guests to enjoy on the terrace. There was a photo booth packed with props and laughter, and everywhere you looked, people were smiling, dancing, and enjoying each other’s company. The entire evening felt like one big family reunion where everyone—no matter where they came from—was welcome and included.



One of the most beautiful parts of the day was how effortlessly everyone connected. Friends and family from different cultures, different places, and different walks of life all came together in true celebration. It was the kind of wedding where you look around the room and realize: this is what it’s all about.



Even the rain couldn’t dampen the energy. In fact, it almost felt like a blessing—cooling the air, softening the light, and adding a sense of intimacy to the celebration. Instead of running for cover, guests danced in it, laughed through it, and made memories that will last a lifetime.


Rodrigo and Nicole’s wedding at Villa Antonia was vibrant, playful, elegant, and full of heart. As a photographer, I feel honored to have captured it. It was a joyful blend of tradition and modern love, of heritage and personality—proof that when two people come together to celebrate their union with authenticity and heart, the result is pure magic.
