palm door wedding | amy and curtis | austin wedding photographer

Wednesday, February 1, 2012

Here is an Austin winter wedding at the Palm Door. The bride, Amy, found her dress during her college years, before she even knew who she was going to marry. It was a vintage dress that she just had to have. I love how it looked on her! The wedding was a lot of fun,...

featured portrait | trash the dress with paint | austin wedding photographer

Saturday, January 28, 2012

I love color. When the Museum of Modern Art did their color exhibit I was so happy to wander around their halls. Bright, beautiful colors make me happy. When I got a chance to do my first trash the dress session, using paint was an easy choice. Before there is too much outcry about how...

Carrie - Gorgeous Nadine!

March 7, 2011 - 9:26 am

Leah Muse - That first picture is awesome. Love the lighting and how.. natural it seems for her to be in the tree.

March 7, 2011 - 9:40 am

Elissa - I really like the one fourth from the bottom (and, of course, the one posted right above it, the one you teased us with for what feels like weeks!). She looks like a fairy princess in her natural element. Pretty!

March 7, 2011 - 10:26 am

Natalie Gibbs - What a beautiful, serene looking bride. Part of me kind of hates to see such a gorgeous, unique dress get painted, but it’s clear you all had a good time and I know she will love the photos. The last shot is precious.

March 7, 2011 - 7:12 pm

Leo Druker - This is so amazing! The lighting – the entire concept is executed perfectly What a terrific session.

April 26, 2011 - 7:09 pm

Danielle - oh these are fabulous!

June 23, 2011 - 9:45 am

Heather - This could be the beginning of a strange movie with a bride who has lost her mind, almost insane. the 9th one is my favorite. Are you going to sell photobooks of your work?

July 20, 2011 - 12:04 pm

Nicole Glazier - I hope she kept the dress! It looks so pretty still!!

mercury hall wedding | jen and mike | austin wedding photographers

Saturday, January 14, 2012

It hadn’t rained in Austin, Texas for months, and of course, the first real downpour happened on a Saturday in October, one of the most popular days for a wedding in Texas. However, Jen rolled with it, and Mercury Hall was gorgeous even for an indoor ceremony, with sunlight pouring through the colorful stained glass...

2011 has been amazing. I quit my day job in May and pursued photography as a full time job, and the experience has been so rewarding.
