It was such a joy to photograph Erin and Matt’s wedding this week! Their intimacy was palpable and their friends and family were so much fun. Not having any interest in a traditional wedding, they made the day all about celebrating their love and forgoing the stress that so often comes along with a big affair.

First up was the ceremony at the Williamson County Justice of the Peace:

Following the ceremony, we headed to the town square in Georgetown for some more photos and stopped at a wine shop for a celebratory toast.

Later in the evening, the couple hosted a dinner at NXNW. One of their friends made the dairy free wedding cake:

I’m so honored to have been part of this beautiful day. Congratulations Erin and Matt!

While I’m on the subject of Trash the Dress, I thought I’d come back and share more of Lauren’s shoot from a while back.

I just love the Spanish style she chose and how her red hair piece, shoes and lips pop against her ivory dress and all of the greenery and stone.

I had the great pleasure of shooting a wedding with Libby of Libby Ann Photography recently. Not only did I love getting to be part of this couple’s beautiful wedding day, but working with other photographers is truly such a joy. I firmly believe that the best way any artist can grow in their craft is through constant practice, and learning from others who share their passion.

Bride and groom were both adorably anxious while waiting for the ceremony to begin.

One of the fun things about being a second shooter is that you have the opportunity to get images from different angles during the more formal, posed shots.

Could the groom’s parents look any more thrilled?

I know that I’m not alone in this, but probably my favorite part of any wedding is seeing the look on the grooms face when he sees his beautiful bride for the first time.

Sealed with a kiss…

I hope to find some time to come back and share some of the reception shots, but for now I have lots more sessions to review and editing to do!

I had the extreme pleasure of doing a post-wedding bridal shoot with the lovely Lauren last week. But, before I share just one little peek of our shoot, I chose a Tune for Tuesday that is only fitting. Lauren’s husband is part of the fabulous Grupo Fantasma whose Latin funk sound is guaranteed to get you on your feet or shaking your booty in your chair. Who couldn’t use that on a Tuesday afternoon?

To accentuate the old-world Spanish feel that Lauren wanted I had a little fun with texture on this one.

What awesome style she has! More to come…

Ever since my cousin Ross introduced his then-girlfriend Hope to our extended family, she has blended right in. I was thrilled when they asked me to do an engagement shoot for them. While it had to be rescheduled due to illness and then moved from Austin to Houston, Hope’s bridal shower this weekend provided the perfect opportunity to get some photos of them with their little boy in their home town. They were so natural in front of the camera that it was really hard to pick just a few to show here. I hope you guys enjoy your sneak peak:

Aren’t her shoes to die for?

Breyden turned one in February and is a little man on the go! Though he didn’t want to sit still, he was an excellent sport.

I can’t wait for the wedding and for Hope to officially be a member of the family! Thanks guys, for letting me be part of your special day.
