Guest book – austin engagement photography

April 16, 2010 – 2:25 pm

Guest books are awesome!

I got married a little over 6 years ago and not knowing any better, I went with the traditional fancy book to collect notes and signatures from our friends and family. To be perfectly honest, I have no idea where that book is today!

This is why I encourage my couples to use their engagement photos and make a custom guest book for their big day.
Here are some reasons!

1- You get to actually put your awesome engagement photos to use.
2- Share the photos with all your guests who may not ever have been able to see them otherwise.
3- Most important, you’ll end up with a cool little book that you can proudly display in your home and continue to show off all those fun engagement shots and encouraging notes you received on your wedding day.

Give me a call and I’ll hook you up!  : )
Check out this one I made for Sathya and Matt!  They’re getting married tomorrow!  woohoo!

Cute…check!

Lauren and Preston made my job easy!  They had lots of great ideas!  I love coming up with locations and ideas for a shoot, but it is 100x more fun if a couple is involved in the planning like these two were.   Check out a few on my favorites!

We started things off at The Madison.

Jeff- the owner- knows Lauren and Preston and he let us have some fun inside.
It’s always funny to be inside a place where you usually only would see at night. Things look different in daylight- it was totally like we were the cool kids who got let back-stage!

Bethany and Jeremy | East Austin Engagement Photography

April 14, 2009 – 12:04 pm

#1 Thank you guys for driving to Austin for this shoot!

#2 Thank you Bethany for wearing hot shoes!

#3 Thank you Jeremy for having all kinds of cool ideas!

I love this couple!  Bethany and Jeremy are getting married at the end of May and I can’t wait for the big day.  They are so much fun to shoot.  Jeremy’s mom is a photographer so he’s used to having a camera stuck in his face and Bethany- well, she’s just a natural!

Here are a few of my favorites from their engagement session.

A request- the walking shot!

How cool is it that her shoes match the graffiti!

Jeremy spotted the “Bread, Food, Love”!

As our last stop, we went by one of the oldest and coolest fire stations in Austin. Jeremy is a Firefighter so he got us in for some photos.  I was ecstatic!

What a shoot- you guys rock!  : )

Heather + Stephen [just married!]

February 21, 2009 – 3:34 pm

Heather and Stephen got married last night!

I have had the pleasure to know this great couple of a while now and when they asked me to shoot their wedding I was totally excited!  We shot their engagement session around campus, finding a bunch of new colorful spots.  I knew they were a fun couple but I had no idea how fun until we started shooting!  They are hilarious!
I have to tell you that the wedding was a blast and that I got some great photos that I can’t wait to share.

Congrats Heather and Stephen and have a wonderful time on your honeymoon.  Hugs!

They needed very little encouragement to be goofy!  haha!

Or romantic and sweet!

Omg! This was my favorite spot!  Seriously- how funny is that?!

A little arm-wrestling and a little soccer, just to keep things interesting!

Brittany + Tony | South Congress engagement photography

January 29, 2009 – 11:53 am

Ok- please take a minute and have a look at the colors in these photos!  Brittany and Tony did such a amazing job when picking out what to wear to the shoot!  I was trilled when I saw them walking towards me!

Brittany is from Austin while Tony is from San Antonio, so when Britt saw the TX map on the ground she was like- can we do something with that?
I have to say that this “we’re on the ground” shot is the first one I have shot with a real purpose!  I mean, I think that’s a cute pose but it’s so cool to actually be able give it such a importance.
Here are a few of my favorite from the shoot- thank you guys for a fun afternoon!  : )

So cute!  And FYI- I set up the wind so it would blow Brittany’s hair just the way I wanted it!

Cool tree!  I love this hill!

Favorite shot from the shoot!

Angie + Jayme | east austin engagement photography

September 19, 2008 – 12:48 am

Ok- first I have to say that these photos are making it to the blog so late!  I’m sorry guys- here they are!

Angie and Jayme rock!  We spend a couple of hours in East Austin together, climbing walls, walking on the railroad tracks and we even leaned on walls projecting “serious face”!  I loved it!

I can’t wait for their wedding in November- I have a feeling it’s going to be a blast!

Here are a few of my favs from our session…

We found this really crazy graffiti! There were some not- very- photo- friendly stuff on this wall but we found an area that looked cool without being weird- bad weird not good weird!  FYI- I’m all for good weird!

Angie’s dad, this one is for you!  (inside joke!)

We’re walking around and we come to this little shack!  I say to Angie and Jayme- so I have an idea! Seriously, Angie’s eyes brighten and next thing I know she’s climing to the roof of the shack!

Once they were settled, this big truck- like an 18-wheeler, drives by kicking up dust and dirt everywhere and lays on the horn!  Check out Angie’s reaction! Love it!

Thank you for a great session- see you guys real soon.  : )
