Austin Wedding Photographer | The Vista On Seward Hill | Ben and Meagan

So excited to kick off my 2012 weddings with Ben and Meagan!  This super sweet couple had a beautiful daytime ceremony at Riverbend Church with a reception following at The Vista On Seward Hill.  Hope you’re having a fabulous time in Costa Rica you two!:)

Happy Holidays!

Just wanted to wish everyone a very Happy Holiday!  For me, this holiday season became a little brighter with the addition of our little munchkin.  Last year, she was not even 2 months old at this time so while I was so thankful to finally have her in my arms, she didn’t understand what the holidays were all about.  This year, she loves just hanging out by the Christmas tree (and yes, the bottom half of our tree contains no ornaments), gets excited about me turning on all the holiday lights around the house, loves walking around the neighborhood and seeing all the blow up Santas (wasn’t crazy about seeing the real one though:)), and she is super helpful at helping me wrap all the presents…well, at least she thinks she is.  I’m sure she’ll have an even better time opening them!  I hope you enjoy spending time with your families this holiday season.  Here is a picture of our holiday card this year!

Austin Wedding Photographer | Hyatt Regency | Emerson and Jennie

Every once in awhile, I get to photograph something that is out of the ordinary for me and this was one of those occasions.  When Jennie contacted me and told me they were having a small intimate wedding, on a riverboat, on Lake Austin, in December, I’m pretty sure my response was, “where do I sign up?”:)  And after witnessing their sweet wedding, I am positive that there is nobody more perfect for Jennie than Emerson and nobody more perfect for Emerson than Jennie.  Enjoy a few of my favorites!

Jennie’s brother officiated the ceremony!

Ceremony:  Lonestar Riverboat

Reception:  Hyatt Regency

Dallas Wedding Photographer | Christ the King Catholic Church and Belo Mansion | Drew and Stephanie

I drove all the way to Dallas for Drew and Stephanie’s beautiful wedding.  As a native Texan, I had never been to Dallas (crazy, right?), so Drew and Stephanie gave me a good reason to go…and I loved it!  We were nervous about the weather since it was supposed to rain all weekend, but it held out just long enough for Drew and Stephanie’s “first look” and a few portraits afterwards.  Drew and Stephanie- thank you for allowing me to be a part of your day.  It was an honor!  Enjoy some favorites!

Ceremony:  Christ the King Catholic Church

Reception:  Belo Mansion

San Antonio Engagement Photographer | Kyle and Kelli

It was my first time to shoot an engagement session in San Antonio and I loved all the beautiful colored walls and charm it had to offer!  Kyle and Kelli both grew up there so it was only fitting their session took place in their home town.  And Kelli and Kyle did so great despite the freezing cold wind; it was also a great excuse for Kelli to wear her super cute scarfs!:).  Enjoy a few from their session!

Bethany - oh wow, I love all those colors! Who knew San Antonio had such good places for pictures!November 28, 2011 – 2:42 pm

Austin Engagement Photographer | Giulio and Megan

These two lovebirds were so much fun during our session.  Carefree and relaxed, Giulio and Megan were down for anything and made my job easy!  Not to mention how good looking they are, which you’ll see below!!  They are getting married at the Four Seasons next fall so we ended our session there.  Hope you enjoy their sneak peak!

Alex - These are amazing… Congratulations :) November 23, 2011 – 3:25 pm
