Jesse & Avery

Hannah and I photographed these guys on Saturday; what an emotionally moving wedding! The whole day was spent at The Sanctuary in central Austin. Aside from the “usual” (dad gives beautiful bride away, groom receives and loves her!), Avery’s aunt was able to come to the wedding and that was a huge thing for the whole family. We captured some great photographs for them, along with our long-time photographer & friend Erick Nelson. Some early picks for me are here with more to come later as we have a chance to refine and edit.

One of the things I have heard other photographers do at receptions is to have a quick slide show from the ceremony up and running at some point during the night. I have to say, I thought this was a great idea but was afraid to try and squeeze that in with all the hustle of moving from one place to another, equipment setup, image load and review, etc. But, I went ahead and gave it a try for this wedding and the result was awesome. (This is a perfect example of the benefits of working as a team; Hannah was still photographing all during this little time away form the camera!) I spent about 15 minutes just loading one camera memory card and reviewing quickly; the result was a great 34 image show that we were able to have running during the reception. It was fun to see people standing around the laptop enjoying the images for the rest of the evening.

God bless you guys on your honeymoon and for the rest of your lives!
