Ismael & Kate - Engagement Session with Hiking and Dinosaurs

Ismael & Kate are so in sync. I met them in person the same day I shot their engagement session and I couldn't help but notice how much they suit each other. It's so easy to see how in love they are - I can't wait to shoot their wedding later this year! We did their session at Zilker Botanical Garden to showcase their love of the outdoors and hiking. Click to enlarge.

Andrew & Mary - Rainy Wedding in a Pioneer Town

I met Andrew & Mary on the day of their wedding after a flurry of emails and a Skype date. It was unusually cold for Texas, and the sky was doing exactly what we had hoped it wouldn't - rain. Andrew & Mary and their guests shrugged off the rain, and the day went without a hitch - including the outdoor ceremony. What I loved most about Andrew & Mary's wedding was that beneath the gorgeous exterior - fur stoles, crystals hanging from tree branches, and the most ornate bouquet you could imagine - was a VERY nerdy core. Andrew & Mary expertly wove their interests into the small details - the bouquet was hiding a GoPro camera, the wedding program read like a computer program, and the groom's cufflinks featured Trailer Park Boys characters. Check out their multi-layered wedding below - click the images to enlarge.

TX: Enchanted Rock Exploration

About 1.5 hours from Austin is the Enchanted Rock State Natural Area. It lives up to its name - truly enchanting. The rock for which the park is named is pink granite and the summit provides a gorgeous unparalleled view of the surrounding Texas beauty. Click to enlarge photos.

ATX: Blanton Museum of Art

The Blanton Museum of Art at the University of Texas in Austin is a true treasure. I love art museums, and the Blanton is a small, but well curated, gem. Pro tip: Thursdays are free! Click to enlarge.
