Austin Wedding Photographer | Laurel & Jon at Vista West Ranch

It becomes apparent VERY quickly after you spend any time with Laurel and Jon that they have fairy tale love. The kind where little birds and hearts and ribbons follow them around. It really is something to be in the presence of that kind of emotion. I knew after shooting their engagement portraits that their wedding would be a special one.

They had an emotional and beautiful wedding at Vista West Ranch and every part of the day felt like them. It was an honor to be a part of it.

Thank you so much Laurel and Jon and I hope the next chapter in your lives is even more exciting and beautiful.

So do you know about Pinterest?

I am completely hooked on this site – it is such a pretty place full of inspiration. You should check it out. There is a TON of wedding inspiration and I think it’s a brilliant tool to help plan your wedding. There is also style, art, house, party, gifts, DIY – you name it, people are pinning it.

I’m ‘pinning’ under the handle ‘scphoto’.

I have several boards (because the hamster wheel in my brain just doesn’t slow down) but a board of mine that you might like and find useful is the Clients You Should Wear This board. It’s where I’ve started putting clothing suggestions for engagement/kids/family/just because sessions. I’m certainly not the final word on fashion and clothing, but I have figured out what works for photo sessions in general. Granted, a few of the items there are things that I just want to take pictures of, but I do mean it as a resource to you all. The board is a bit thin at the moment, but I hope that as it grows, it’s a resource that will help you jump start what to wear, because it is THE MOST COMMON question I get before sessions. And believe me, I get it. I freak out about what to wear before I get my photo taken as well.

So anyhoo, if you’re in the market for one more site to keep you from working, this is it!

XOXO

Voting | How Fun!

A while back I got this voting app for the blog. You may have noticed the little

LOVE THIS! icon popping up under images recently.

I like it because I love seeing what images you guys like and I think it’s fun for my couples to see as well.

It’s always good to be loved.

I’m planning a photographic gift of some form for the person(s)  in the image with the most votes at the end of the year, so get clicking! Only images from 2011 are eligible and I believe that you can vote once per blog post per computer. (But you know, be cool and don’t try to figure out a work around, because that’s lame-o)

Happy Thursday!!!
