The stylish and glamorous Tony and Alicia knew they wanted to do something unique for their engagement photos. They wanted a look that was classy, vintage and radiated old world charm with a European sensibility. Finding the location, the unforgettable chandelier-lit Palazzo Lavaca in Texas, was half the battle. The Nichols would take care of the rest with their stunning shots. Cakelets, if T + A don’t get married at this venue, can you? It’s crazy gorge!
