I don’t even know where to start to describe this wedding. Jessica Moore with something to Celebrate came to me 8 months ago and said, “do you want to do another wedding at the Wildflower Center with me”? Of course I do. How many times do you get the chance to do a [...]

Today’s the day!  It’s my second wedding in a row at the LBJ WFC , and again the bride and I did a bridal session a couple of weeks ago.  As usual she didn’t want me to show the photos on line so her fiancée wouldn’t see her in her dress before the big day [...]

Every one of my standard packages includes a free bridal session. It’s just how I roll. I believe that couples are paying a fortune for their wedding, the last thing a wedding photographer should do is nickel and dime them to death.  So in addition to all day coverage, free engagement sessions, and [...]

Weddings at the Renaissance Hotel in Austin TX

What a great story.  These two knew each other long before today.  If I remember correctly, they met late in High School, or perhaps it was college.  But then life took over and they each went their separate ways.  Then, several years later, these two reconnected when one searched for the other on the web [...]

Weddings at Green Pastures

Thumbnail image for Weddings at Green Pastures

Normally at weddings I don’t get a lot of time to sit relax. I’m just too busy snapping pictures of your guests, moments, and details. Then when I am able to rest my barking dogs it’s usually in a dark closet, or behind the smokers at the wedding, or somewhere else just [...]

Time Lapse Wedding

I had the opportunity to photograph a unique wedding in Austin yesterday. This time lapse movie is from a remote camera I set-up in the corner of the church. I try to be as invisible as possible, in fact, you can’t really even see me until the formals. Did you catch my [...]

Austin Wedding Extravaganza

There were tons of deals to be had – especially among the wedding photographers in Austin. They must have outnumbered every other vendor at the Bridal Extravaganza almost 3 to 1. The only other group who had numbers even close were florists slash event designers.  It was fun roaming among the masses – everyone [...]

Thumbnail image for weddings at the four seasons in Austin

It’s one of the fanciest wedding combo in Austin.  A duo that is repeated over and over – Ceremony at St. Mary’s Cathederal, and a reception at the Four Season’s. But I’ve never seen it done quite like this before. Even the WeTV wedding wasn’t this fancy.
Late last year, I had the honor [...]

As a wedding planner for a large hotel, the bride opted for some first look photos at the church before the wedding started- This is where the bride and the groom see each other before the start of the ceremony.  If you ask me, it really helps to slow down the pace of the wedding, [...]

There is something special about having your wedding at a winery.  Back when I lived near San Francisco, I would shoot weddings all the time in Napa, Sonoma, and  the Northern California wine region.  They were elegant, beautiful, and classy weddings.
Then when I came to Texas, I thought I’d have to give all that up. [...]
