Detail of the Week: Fun and Games

It’s Detail of the Week time!!

Chelsea and Jacob’s spring wedding was all about BIG fun! Big guest list, big wedding party, big time dancing, big  Aggie celebration.

To keep the guys occupied and relaxed before the wedding, they broke out a game of Washers. Now, I don’t necessarily think this is a great option for every wedding venue. The Driskill would probably frown on it. However, for a beautiful Hill Country venue like Vista West Ranch, it was perfect. They guys had a blast, as did some of the earlier arriving guests.

Fun=Good.

Sandra + Andrew: Austin Engagement Photographer

Sandra and Andrew are a travelling couple.

Sandra is from Mexico, Andrew is from Miami, Sandra currently lives in D.C. and Andrew currently lives in Colorado. Dizzy yet?  They met as graduate students at UT, and, as many people do, fell in love with Austin, so they will be having their wedding here in the fall at the always gorgeous Four Seasons. They both flew in for their engagement session as were rewarded with an ah-mazing day. They are super natural with each other in front of the camera and their edit was insane. SO many photos to choose from!

Something fun we did a few weeks after the session (when the two of them were back in town) was a little photo preview party at my studio. Andrew’s parents were also in town, so we made a time of it with champagne and treats. If any of you are ever interested in something like this, please let me know. It was SO fun for me to see people’s reactions to their photos and I think it made the experience a little more special.

Thanks so much Sandra and Andrew! I am so happy we got to spend this time getting to know each other. I can’t wait to see how the plans come together this fall!

Detail of The Week: Fuchsia Stuart Weitzman Shoes

Oh shoes…I could photograph you for days.

I love this sassy hot pink pair from Robert and Kelly’s Austin Club wedding (full blog post to come!) They make me smile and also make feel like some online shopping…

Allison + Ace: Austin Engagement Photographer

We all knew the summer heat was coming – we had it good for a while there didn’t we? Unfortunately, Allison and Ace shceduled their session for that first, really hot, steamy day this summer. But because they are troupers, we got some fantastic shots anyway. These two are Austinites, but are getting married in Mexico next year.

Thanks so much you two! It was great getting to know you and laughing for a few hours on a hot summer evening!!

Liz + Alex: Hamilton Twelve, Austin Wedding Photography

I knew I would love Liz the first time we talked on the phone. She is so sweet and full of positive energy. I met Alex at their engagement session and knew that his calm demeanor was a perfect match for Liz. They have a very sweet, subtle way with each other. It’s like they just know what each other needs. I love that.

They had a perfect early summer day for their outdoor wedding at Hamilton Twelve. Smiles and fun all day long. Thanks for having me along you two! Many happy days to you!!!

I  have to say thanks to Annie and the staff out at Hamilton Twelve. They do such a great job and are amazingly nice people. Also, this was my lovely second shooter Tali’s first wedding back from maternity leave. She rocked it out!! I love you Tali!

Liz’s Dad brews beer and her brewed some especially for the wedding. They handed it out at the Rehearsal Dinner. Adorable!
The car was a big hit with the guys as you might imagine.
Liz wanted to recreate a photo from her Grandparent’s wedding. They left their wedding in a car very similar to this one.

This one is yummy. Andrea and Morgan’s gorgeous wedding out at Vintage Villas had this floral chandelier hanging from the gazebo for the ceremony. I loved it!! Sophisticated and classic with a little twist. Enjoy.
