Celia + Dustin: Austin Wedding Photography

Celia and Dustin are as sweet as can be. When I’d speak with other vendors working on their wedding they would all say the same thing. “Don’t you just LOVE them?” Why yes, yes I do. They had a beautiful wedding in Dripping Springs at Vista West Ranch. The sky was very threatening all day, but held out to allow for a very emotional outdoor ceremony. These two are so happy when they are together. No matter what else was going on, they would always have a smile for each other. There is a beautiful warmth about their relationship.

The wedding was coordinated by the always amazing Wendee Robbins Sawran of Lucie’s Events with Floral by Petal Pushers. I also have to give a HUGE thanks to my friend Sherry Hammonds for second shooting this wedding with me. It’s always so fun to have her around and man is she good.

Enjoy!


I put this one in because I love the realization on their faces that ‘Wow, we are really about to get nailed with flowers.”

Saturday Sweetness: 2 Dine 4

I was lucky enough to be invited to a lunch at 2 Dine 4′s Swoop House the other week. The lovely ladies of BZ Events invited me along.

Not only is the food amazing, but they are great people as well. Definitely consider them if you are looking for a caterer (or a rehearsal dinner site – the Swoop House is adorable!). Here is a little peek of our yummy dessert. Homemade peanut butter ice cream over a brownie with strawberry sauce.  Heaven…

Henry: Austin Baby and Family Photography

Sweet baby Henry! I love this little bundle of boy. I had so much with him at his parent’s gorgeous east Austin home. It was a nice change of pace from our studio shoot when he was a tiny newborn. Thanks so much you three! I can’t wait to see what he has in store for me next time!

Henry has a way cool room – it’s all robots and space stuff.

Chelsea + Jacob (+Burk) Austin Engagement Photography

A cutie bride, a smoldering groom and a crazy dog. Ummm…yes, please.

SUCH a fun morning with Chelsea, Jacob and Burk. We hit all sorts of spots in Austin and had a great time. I cannot wait for their April wedding at Vista West Ranch – it’s going to be so fun!!!

Sooo fabulous – love them!

Lisa + Nayon: Austin Wedding Photography

Lisa and Nayon were married at The Lakeway Resort and Spa back in January. You may remember their fun engagement/family session from a while back. I loved how this wedding was the creation of a new family. The six of them fit so well together that you know it was meant to be.

I often referred to Lisa as my superstar organized bride. She was so on top of everything and I loved the design her and Melanie Tipton came up with for the reception. So classic and elegant. There are also a lot of sophisticated kid touches added too – make sure to scroll down for those.

I also have to thank my second shooter James for all of  his work and for being so fun to shoot with. A few of these images are James’s. I liked them too much not to include them.

Congrats Lisa and Nayon and kids! I am so thrilled for the six of you and wish you many happy days ahead.

James’s Shots – I love them.

A Children’s Lounge area was set up in each corner of the room.  They stocked the area with games and crayons and crafts.  They were well used.

The escort cards were adorable. They included a little recipe book of family favorites called ‘Table for Six’.
