Since Kate & Ismael's wedding day was so rainy, I offered to do day-after bridal portraits. They told me they were staying the Austin Motel. I told them that was perfect. We explored up and down South Congress and ended the shoot with a splash in the pool. Check it out below, and click to enlarge.
Kevin & Casandra - Kickass Nerdy Outdoor Wedding
Kevin & Casandra's wedding was one of the most unique weddings I've shot and a great way to kick off the 2015 wedding season. KJ, their son, was included in the wedding ceremony in a really awesome way (and he has some of the sweetest dance moves I've ever seen!).
They opted for a lifestyle wedding shot, forgoing the traditional family photos and opting for more photojournalistic photos that captured natural moments - mom and daughter laughing, Kevin & Casandra snapping post-wedding selfies, and friends showing off their shoes. Kevin is super into sneakers, and he exchanged custom-made sneakers with Casanda that were designed to show off their past, present and future together.
Check out this wedding for Star Wars, sweet kicks, and a whole lotta love below. Click to enlarge.
Ismael & Kate - Texas Barn Wedding with BBQ
Ismael & Kate got married on one of the rainiest days imaginable, but the rain did nothing to dampen the spirits of their family and friends that traveled from all over to see them tie the knot! (I think it even rained during their engagement shoot.) Check out this outdoorsy, laid back barn wedding - complete with Texas barbecue. Click to enlarge.
ATX: Adventures in Austin (Soul Sister Edition)
Lindsay, my second shooter/best friend/soul sister came and visited me in Austin in November. I made sure to feed her good food (Franklin Barbecue is the best around, no joke) and take her to see just a fraction of what Austin has to offer. Here's just a few photos from the week and half she was here. Click to enlarge.
Lindsay & I had been planning to get photography themed tattoos for about a year - we finally made it happen thanks to Mike at True Blue Tattoo on Airport Blvd. He's an amazing artist and, as we found out, a member of a rockabilly/ska band! We went to go see his show at the Driskill downtown.
Matt & Chelsea - Sweet Engagement Session at Hotel Ella
Chelsea surprised Matt with engagement photos at Hotel Ella for his birthday - how much sweeter can you get?! They also brought their two adorable dogs, all dressed up in fancy wedding attire. Chelsea & Matt were a lot of fun to work with - and the hotel is gorgeous. Check out their session below - click to enlarge.
