Laguna Gloria

Everybody who reads my blog on a regular basis knows I love shooting at AMOA Laguna Gloria. So when I was asked by Kelly if I wanted to shoot her e-pics there I jumped on the chance. Normally I like to schedule the shoot a litle later in the day, especially in the summer when it’s not so hot, but in order to meet everybody’s schedule, we decided that 4:00 in the afternoon would be the best time. And was it ever!

All in all we spent an hour walking the grounds, finding all the best spots, and just having a great time. There were well over 100+ incredible shots, and the couple will get all of them on the CD so they can do whatever they want with them. By the way – if you do hire me, I love to see how you use the photos. One couple even made a custom CD of their favorite songs and handed it out as a wedding favor. And on the cover of the CD case was one of their engagement pics.
Anyway, these two were so very cute together. At first, as always, things were a bit stiff, as they didn’t know what to expect, but after 10 minutes or so, they were super relaxed in front of the camera. Enjoy your photos!

It didn't take long for these two to feel comfortable in front of the camera.

In addition to all the standard engagement poses, I like to do engagement detail shots.

My favorite engagement photo from the session.

There are so many different poses you can do.

I always do a couple of more traditional poses, in addition to all the fun creative stuff.

Even though the couple didn't wear vintage clothes, I decided to do a little post processing to this shot, and gave it an antique look.

Cute!

Here's a pretty standard, traditional engagement pose.

Aren't these two just adorable?

Congrats you two! Enjoy these photos!

As a wedding photographer, I get to see all the cool new trends before the brides actually use them at their weddings. Yesterday I saw a wedding venue with an open kitchen. What a great idea. It was at the fantastic Austin wedding venue, Laguna Gloria, and the event was the annual ISES spring membership drive.

All the greatest Austin wedding vendors were there (I won’t mention any of them, so I don’t leave anyone out). Of course I took a few photos, and some are posted here, and the rest of the event pictures are in the gallery. Feel free to download as many of the shots as you want. The gallery won’t be active forever, so do it now, before you forget, and you can blog about them when you get a chance.

If you were there, what was your favorite part? Let everyone know in the comment section below.

Long wooden tables were set up in a U-shape. Tall chairs for the guests, and the open kitchen on the other side.

Here's another view of the open kitchen on the grounds of Laguna Gloria.

Marquee rentals has some great tents, and their custom ones for Laguna Gloria can't be beat. Not only do they protect your guests, but they are great for photos.
