Have you ever met a Jaguar named Nigel?  I did at a recent wedding at Villa Antonia.  No, the Jag wasn’t a wild animal, instead it was a 1959 Jaguar Mark IX Saloon.  Every single guest had to pose next to that amazing get-away car the couple rented for the evening.  My good friend Phil, [...]

Over the years, I’ve probably photographed more weddings at Nature’s Point than any other venue in Austin.

Tilt-shift photography

One of my 2nd shooters, JP, has a very unique camera.  It is an 8×10 camera on rails. It shoots sheet film. That’s right, real photographic film. This is Fuji 160, and if you ask me, has some of the best color range in the world. So hard to get this look in photoshop. Don’t [...]

The wedding industry takes it one step further, because wedding photographers who advertise on wedding blogs get to post their featured weddings more often. That’s why [...]
