Fun at a Wedding
Sometimes, I get to photograph things that are just plain fun. This is an image from the recent wedding of Ben and Sarah; Sarah’s mom is shepherding a couple of little folk who really like music. The band is kind enough to let them play around on the drums, so I was kinda watching them while shooting the crowd and saw this happening. I rushed over to get a shot or two to seal the...
Read MoreBeautiful Wedding at the Mansion at Judges’ Hill
Sarah and Ben held a perfect ceremony in the courtyard at the Mansion at Judges’ Hill; I say perfect because the weather was just right, the temperature was awesome and the bride and groom were beautiful. We gathered in the morning in the middle of the week; a great time to have a wedding as the family has so many more options available to them for all the wedding day needs. We grabbed a few photographs of the party gathering and getting ready, then quickly set up for the main ceremony. I set up my portable flashes to bounce off the wall behind the arbor; this is how we get the best...
Read MoreMatt & Megan – Wedding on the Lake
Well, by “on the lake” what I mean to say is that the lake could be seen from where we were The home where Matt and Megan were married, her parents’, is right on the edge of where the lake is supposed to be, but alas, the Great Texas Drought has dropped the surface of the lake so far that the water is no longer very close. But, that doesn’t matter. The wedding was beautiful, with an intimate circle of friends and family participating in the front yard. The reception was held around the pool in back, and lots of guests ended up shoeless and standing in the shallow...
Read MoreMax & Megan – Wedding at Bethany UMC
This past weekend we were blessed to be able to photograph Max and Megan’s wedding and reception. The wedding was held at Bethany United Methodist Church and the reception was at Adora Hall. What a great day! The family was wonderful to work with and Max & Megan were really very relaxed and comfortable. Photographing this wedding in particular was especially cool for me since Megan’s father and I went to Texas A&M a Long, Long Time Ago; both of us worked in the world of high-tech and then at very different times left and started our own businesses. I guess neither one of...
Read MoreSunset Reception at the Oasis
The Oasis, a fantastic Austin venue for watching the sunset over the lake, was the location for a fun wedding reception in June. The couple wanted to feature the sunset as a part of their wedding photography, and we were pleased to be able to work with them there to create some beautiful portraits. Of course, it’s Texas in the summer, so we were pretty warm. But we had a blast and the sunset was lovely. Here is one of my picks from the evening.

In my view a wedding is a very special celebration of a new life together, the beginning of a wonderful journey. Hannah and I photographed a beautiful couple at the Four Seasons Hotel in Austin recently and both of us saw the joy and happiness in both of them as they went through the ceremony. It is such a pleasure to see two people committing their lives together and especially so when their love for each other is so clearly expressed. What a blessing for us to play a part in that afternoon! The hotel and staff were amazing too. Congratulations and may your life together be as filled with...
