We had a wonderful time on Sunday talking to brides, grooms, moms and trusted advisors or brides! It seemed like the best show we’ve ever participated in with so many people and lots of interest in great photography. It was a pleasure to meet so many people and talk about some the most important photographs [...]

Visual Stories

We photographed a wedding at Chapel Dulcinea back in January and I was recently going back through the images and two stood out to me. I thought I’d share the story behind the images. The first is the groom waiting for his bride to come up to the altar with her dad; Scott is reading [...]

One of My Favorites

Here is a portrait taken at a wedding in 2008 that I really like. I love the lines and colors here; the groom is in the background, giving a sense of focus to the bride’s face and we get to see a glimpse of the details of her dress, necklace and earrings as well as [...]

Matt and Jessica

It was a perfect outdoor wedding; the location was Chateau on the Creek in Round Rock, Texas and the weather was amazing. The bride and groom looked fantastic and the event was beautiful. Here are some of our favorite photographs from the day:

Neal & Micah

Here are some of my favorite images from this past Saturday. The wedding was at Hope Chapel and the reception was at The Quarries (part of Hyde Park Baptist Church). Of course, it was the fantastic weather that really made the day memorable; well, that and the wedding itself. One of the things I love [...]

Don & Debra: A Wedding

I think I’ve said it before; the best part about a wedding for me is the emotion. I just love how the very visible commitment between two people brings out the lump in my throat. I was, however, surprised to see the pastor “lumping up” while he was performing the ceremony; you just expect that [...]

Night Wedding

Earlier this January we had the opportunity to photograph Scott and Luci at Chapel Dulcinea at night; it was cold and awesome! That place is really something, especially when you have a fantastic evening twilight in the background. We absolutely love the view and the moments we shared there at the wedding. Even though some [...]

Wedding Album Design

While a bride can order prints or images from her wedding day from almost any photographer, our preferred result from a wedding day is a custom crafted wedding album, designed to showcase the complete story of the day. An album has the ability to distill a series of wonderful moments in time into a framework [...]

Oscar & Amy

A beautiful wedding! A wonderful venue! A gracious and fun family! Oscar and Amy were married Saturday at the Intercontinental Stephen F Austin Hotel in the Capitol Ballroom and we were so impressed with the staff; they were very helpful and accommodating to us and to all that goes on in a wedding. Their Christmas [...]

The Perfect Shoot

What makes a “perfect” photography shoot? I think there are several critical factors involved: Relationship: The subjects and the photographer all connect and learn something about each other. They relate, and find common ground for relating. They enjoy and feel energized. They work together to create a perfect portrait. Involvement: Everyone is working together to create [...]

Details, Details, Details…

Over the course of a wedding day, it is always interesting to spend a little time looking at the details of the preparations. Sometimes we just end up with great photographs for the album page backgrounds, other times we capture something that is important for the family to have a memory of. But it’s always [...]

Fatherhood

I am a father. It’s a true joy in life! So when I’m photographing a wedding I look for “father moments”; points in time where the love and emotion a father feels toward his daughter break out of his normal “fatherness” and shine for everyone to see. These moments are sometimes brief, sometimes long, but [...]

A Texas Portrait

Instead of showing several images from this past weekend, I thought we’d start off with just a portrait from the wedding of Micah and James. This particular portrait is one of my early favorites; there are so many! This was taken at a wonderful place called Chapel Dulcinea out at the Wizard Academy. It’s a [...]

Second Anniversary

It’s our birthday today! (Well, we got our sales tax number on this day, so that’s probably the best day to celebrate.) imageclectic.com photography is two years old. I can hardly believe it. We started this endeavor thinking we already knew enough to run a business, but of course we have learned way more than [...]

Emotion is the Magic

A wedding photographer’s dream is to capture the special moments of the day that really demonstrate the connections between people and the beauty of the whole event. I just wanted to post some more shots from a recent wedding that exemplify this kind of photography.

Halei and Austyn

This past Saturday, Hannah and I photographed Halei and Austyn at the Hamilton Twelve venue in South Austin. We had a wonderful time, especially just being around all the great family and friends as they celebrated the bride and groom. The venue is a wonderful outdoor spot with a great setup for a distinctly circular [...]

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 [...]

David & Becca – More

Here are some of the images we captured during the day. My favorite is the one where the flower basket has fallen into the pond just seconds before the photo was taken; no big deal really but the surprise created a wonderful memory!

Taline & Michael

While we are still working on the album for this wedding, I thought it would be cool to show a few more images from that evening. It was a fantastic day, with lots of emotion and beauty. The wedding was held at the United Methodist Chapel next to the Texas State Capitol. It is a [...]

Becca & David: The Wedding

What a fantastic wedding! Texas Old Town is a wonderful location for a wedding, and we had a great time yesterday photographing. Ok, it was hot, but it didn’t dampen the celebration! As I stood behind the altar watching the union of these two joyful people I remembered again why I love to do this: [...]

17th Floor at the Hyatt

Last Friday we photographed at a wonderful reception venue; the Austin Hyatt Regency in the 17th floor ballroom. One entire wall is glass, allowing a great view of the city. The reception started in full daylight and as night set guests kept going over to the window to gaze at the scene below; it was [...]

Dunvegan Keep

There’s a very cool place in South Austin that I highly recommend: Dunvegan Keep. The owner has hand crafted all of the decorations and the plants to give a very “elsewhere” look and feel to the environment there. If you are looking for a fun place to go for a bridal or engagement portrait, or [...]
