Courtney W. | CTC Gardens Bridal Session Austin, TX

Now that Courtney is married, it’s finally time to share her stunning & modern bridal session. She is a bubbly bundle of fun with the gorgeous red hair to back it up, so what better way to show off her personality than to photograph her in front of a vibrant wall?! She specifically requested somewhere with color AND gardens so I took the opportunity to utilize CTC Gardens, which is a beautiful new east Austin wedding venue. Nancy and crew were sweet enough to let us use their vintage couch, and were very inviting and accommodating to us during our shoot. CTC is so cool, we could’ve spent another couple of hours shooting there! Not to mention the the venue benefits a great cause. Enjoy these favorites!

Austin, Texas Wedding Photographer | Flushmount Wedding Album

I often have brides who contact me from out of state, so I thought it would be fun to do a few VISUAL blog posts about the flushmount albums I offer! These unique and custom designed albums are a great way to showcase the wedding you worked so hard to plan! And the archival quality guarantees it to last years past your grandchildren, making it a true family heirloom. And if you haven’t quite finished your holiday shopping list, this would make the best holiday present ever for any couple or parents in your life who don’t have an album to show off on their coffee table! This sample album for Rachel & Cole’s wedding at the Driskill Hotel features a black and silver snakeskin leather material, with a narrow horizontal metal inlay. The image is actually printed IN the metal, and the finished product is both slick and super modern. Flushmount Albums are the highest quality albums featuring Kodak photographic paper mounted on an archival board. Paper Options Include: Photo Luster: Kodak’s Supra Endura with UV coating or Photo Metallic: Upgrade to Kodak’s Metallic Endura with UV coating and Linen Texture.

Sarah & Zach :: Austin Engagement Session in an airplane fuselage!

Welcome back from Thanksgiving folks! I hope that you stuffed yourselves with yummy food and are having a chill Monday getting back into the swing of things. But alas there is always work for the blogging photographer and I’ve been itching to post this one for weeks. This engagement session was *so awesome* & will always stand out in my mind for it’s uniqueness!  How often do you get to shoot lovebirds in a dismantled airplane fuselage?  Sarah and Zach met while working for a north Austin airplane parts company, so  I suggested we take advantage of such a cool location and get some of their work involved as props.  Zach is a photographer as well, so he used his keen eye to pull some amazing pieces from his warehouse of parts, and boy this one did not disappoint! We even grabbed this cool cylindrical part  at the very end, and I don’t have a clue what airplane part it is, but man it made for some exciting photos. And of course, the Till Death Do Us Part mural by Federico is always a classic engagement location… Especially when you’ve got a super cute beagle involved! I am literally counting down the days until May when I get to shoot their wedding!

Rhianna & Patrick :: Studio at Fischer Wedding in Canyon Lake, TX

Patrick and Rhianna’s main goal for their wedding day was to have a huge  party! Every single person in the wedding party came from out of state, so they were all out to have an amazing time. Here are some words from the bride herself: “This is basically a huge party for us. We’ve been married for almost two years because of my father’s deployment…and everyone is just so excited to be finally getting together. So, I mean, the building can blow up and we’d just take it outside.” Awesome! They had already been married for a couple of years at this point, but waited for her father’s return to have the celebration. Rhianna and her father also did a first look, which was super sweet – a great idea for brides wanting that special moment with their father. I might have teared up a little, but you’ll never know…

The wedding took place at The Studio at Fischer, which is actually a giant commercial photography studio. The place was overflowing with tons of little white lights, color, and an amazing black and white tiled floor. Their decorations were inspired by the “Kiss the Girl” scene from The Little Mermaid with small manzanita trees with tiny lights that twinkle on and off. And the bouquets were all handmade by Rhianna and her bridesmaids, with giant cascading peacock feathers entwined throughout the flowers. The amazingly unique wedding cake was made by Michelle’s Patisserie out of Austin, and was absolutely delicious! It started with white at the top and then faded to purple at the bottom. After dinner provided by Austin landmark Threadgill’s, most of the night consisted of dancing, dancing, and more dancing. It was so much fun watching them all bust moves on the dance floor and we had LOTS of photos to prove it!

Congratulations Patrick and Rhianna! We had an absolute blast at your wedding, and loved so many of the photos that we had a hard time narrowing down our favorites. Enjoy!

Danny & Jess | Band mates and a couples session in Austin, Texas

I had a great time shooting these band photos with Danny and Jess (I also shot Danny’s first album photos too)! They also happen to be dating, so it was extra easy catching photos of their personal connection on top of their musical connection. Not to mention Jess’s beautiful blue eyes and  both of their styling outfits.  Most of these photos were taken around east Austin. If anyone is ever looking for colorful walls and fun backdrops, East Austin is the place to go! We started off at this amazing green wall with bamboo and then headed over to a warehouse for some seriously rockin’ band photos.  -You can find out more info on Danny and Jess here – they play all over Austin on a regular basis so go and check them out sometime! Enjoy!
