featured wedding: three points ranch wedding – cyndi and shawn

admin — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 16:28:23 +0000

There’s something amazing about being present for two people declaring and committing their love for each other. As a photographer, I go to a lot of weddings where I barely know the bride and groom. Then I spend a day with them; a very intense and emotional day. After which I spend several weeks editing and looking at images of their faces, their family and friends. Everyday while editing these photos, I fell more and more in love with this couple and their wedding. The Texas sunset was beautiful, and Three Points Ranch is a perfect venue. It was clear that a lot of work and effort went into every detail of this wedding. And to top it all off, Cyndi and Shawn are really awesome and nice.

I wish them a life full of joy and beauty.

dallas arboretum engagement session | noelle and adam | dallas wedding photographer

When Noelle and Adam suggested the Dallas Arboretum for their engagement session, I wasn’t sure what to expect. But it was definitely not the glorious blooms of color that were exploding everywhere. It definitely was different from the rest of Texas that is dry and bare right now. I love the colors!

This is a wedding I assisted for the lovely and talented Caroline of Ben + Caroline Photography. It was a gorgeous day at the Star Hill Ranch, and the bride and groom were so adorable and in love, it makes me smile to remember them. Here are a few of my favorites from the wedding.

palm door wedding | amy and curtis | austin wedding photographer

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, and the dancing itself was spectacularly fun, not a surprise since Amy started the Austin chapter of Dance Dance Party Party! which by the way, is a women’s only dance party that happens every Sunday night, a safe place to just dance your heart out. The groom, Curtis, is one of the funniest people I know. He is an improvisor, actor, and all around awesome guy. Their wedding was good times!

Venue: Palm Door
Catering: Pink Avocado
Dress: Teenie’s Vintage (no longer exists)
Cake: The bride
Musicians: Stephen Robinson, Margaret, Libby and Anneke Wardlaw

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

admin — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 14:10:51 +0000

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 pretty the dress is and how could you throw paint on it, please know that there was a really large stain on the front of the dress. It was unlikely that it would ever be re-used as a wedding dress. So we decided to play and make art with it.

Emily was very fearless. She was the one that suggested climbing up a tree. Thankfully, Andy was assisting me and helped her up a tree despite the layers and layers of tulle.

When it came time to play with the paint, we started out with her painting some white flowers pink, and slowly dripping it over the dress.

Creation, destruction, art. Here are the results.

Contact me for availability.

mercury hall wedding | jen and mike | austin wedding photographers

admin — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 18:17:48 +0000

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 windows. I love Jen’s veil, which her mother made, and her lovely vintage dress. Also, discovered a new cupcake maker in town,Claud, hands down the best chocolate cupcake I’ve eaten in Austin.

Venue: Mercury Hall
Cupcakes: Claud in the Kitchen
Dress: Style Station
Florist: Debra of Dsweetpeas Custom Floral Design

Hello everyone… It’s 2012!

In theory, the winter months are “slow season” for wedding photographers, but I’m still catching up on editing weddings from last month. And this month I’ve a rush of engagement sessions for weddings coming up later in the year.

This session comes from the Austin town lake (lady bird lake), which is also one of my favorite walking trails in Austin. I’m so excited to share this engagement session! Ben and Courtney are super fun to shoot, and I can’t wait for their wedding.
