Matties Wedding Photographer
Wedding Photography at one of Austin's best
Caroline Robert is an Austin wedding photographer whose work blends documentary storytelling with an editorial eye. After photographing nearly 500 weddings over the last 18 years, she has developed a deep appreciation for venues that feel both timeless and full of life. Mattie's is one of those places.
There are few wedding venues that feel more quintessentially Austin than Mattie's.
Nestled beneath a canopy of century-old oak trees, Mattie's combines historic charm, incredible food, and a relaxed elegance that feels distinctly Texas. Originally built in the late 1800s, the property has become one of Austin's most beloved gathering places, offering couples a venue that feels both refined and welcoming.
What makes Mattie's so special for weddings is its personality.
The peacocks wandering the grounds. The sprawling oak trees. The historic home. The warm glow of the property as the sun begins to set. It feels elevated without ever feeling overly formal, making it a wonderful fit for couples who want their wedding to feel stylish, personal, and genuinely fun.
The property encourages connection, which often leads to the kinds of candid moments that become favorite photographs years later.
Of course, there are beautiful portrait locations throughout the venue. The oak-lined paths, historic architecture, and open green spaces create a variety of backdrops without ever requiring couples to leave the celebration for long.
The best photographs are rarely the posed ones. They're the moments shared beneath the trees, the laughter during cocktail hour, and the people who make the day meaningful.
It feels elevated without feeling formal. Luxurious without feeling intimidating.
Originally built in the late 1800s as the Green Pastures estate, Mattie's has long been one of Austin's most memorable spots. While the city has grown dramatically around it, the property still feels tucked away beneath a canopy of sprawling oak trees, offering a sense of history and charm that's increasingly hard to find.
What makes Mattie's special for weddings is that it never feels like a traditional ballroom venue. Guests spend time outside, cocktails spill into the gardens, peacocks wander the grounds, and the entire celebration feels connected to the property and of course, Austin. It has an ease to it that couples and guests immediately settle into.
