Detail of the Week | Happy Holidays!

Happy Holidays to you and yours!

No matter what you celebrate, a champagne cocktail with a sparkly swizzle stick is always fun! This one was crafted by the talented ladies (and man) at BZ Events for the Driskill’s 125th Anniversary Celebration and Tree Lighting earlier this month. It was a great evening and really kicked off the holidays for me.

I’ll be celebrating with my family for a few more days, but will be periodically checking email if you need me. Just be patient and maybe have your own champagne cocktail while you wait.

I hope you have a fabulous holiday and I can’t wait to see what you all have in store for 2012!

XOXO

Austin Wedding Photographer | Jan & Dave at The Four Seasons

Time to Blog. Let’s go!

Jan and Dave are two of the coolest and most fun people I have ever met. They travel, they golf, they know how to have a good time and so do their friends. The dancing and fun at this wedding was unbelievable. The happiness of this couple and all of their loved ones was also tangible. So many people were SO excited for this wedding and it showed. I was so thrilled to be a part of it.

They spent their day at the always amazing Four Seasons Austin in the middle of our scorchy, hot summer. One of my favorite things about the Four Seasons is the lawn always feels about 10 degrees cooler than the outside air. I don’t know how they manage that, but it’s kind of magic.

The reception was a giant, beautiful party! I went overboard with decor shots below, because, it was kind of flawless. Jan and Dave have amazing taste and when you combine that with the talents of Becky Brock of BZ Events, you get something incredible, as you will see. Their friends also secretly rehearsed a flash mob dance that they surprised the couple with after they had finished their first dance. Too fun!

I also have to thank the always fun James Dvorscak for shooting this wedding with me. He’s such a delight.

Jan and Dave, thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of your wedding! You guys rock!

Published | Lori and Jason’s Wedding at The Driskill Hotel

It’s always a nice way to start off the morning learning that a wedding I photographed has been published, especially when it’s a couple that is as fabulous as Lori and Jason. I still smile thinking about their glamorous and FUN wedding at The Driskill Hotel this spring.

They are featured on Modernly Wed - Inspiration for the Modern Bride. Check it out. Thanks so much for the feature!Lori and Jason's Austin Wedding at The Driskill hotel published on Modern WedLori and Jason's Old Hollywood wedding at The Driskill Hotel

Austin Wedding Photographer | Emily & Trey at The Four Seasons

Comfy chair alert – big post ahead.

Emily and Trey were married on the lawn, under those big, incredible oaks at The Four Seasons Austin. These two have been dream clients (along with their lovely families) and I was so happy I got to spend so  much time with them between our meetings, the engagement session, Emily’s Bridal and their rehearsal dinner. I was so thrilled for them on their wedding day. It is always my dream and generally my reality that I am so excited for my clients on their wedding day.

Despite planning a large wedding with many, incredible details, these two were relaxed and happy throughout the planning and the wedding festivities. I will say that I suspect the expert planning at BZ Events helped with the stress level, but still, they were two cool cucumbers that were just delighted to get married to each other.

Emily and Trey, thank you so much for inviting me into your and your families’ lives this past year. I have loved getting to know you and wish you nothing but the best in life.

Emily & Trey’s Rehearsal Dinner | The Vince Young Steakhouse

This is a beautiful rehearsal dinner! I am getting sad that I’m almost to Emily and Trey’s wedding post as I will feel like they are really not my clients anymore and I will miss them! So I’m dragging this out by putting the rehearsal dinner up first.

I had not been to the Vince Young Steakhouse, but it a lovely venue full of helpful and gracious people. The food looked amazing too.  I know Trey’s parents put a lot of effort into making this a special evening and I’m so happy it turned out so well.

Enjoy!
