Austin Wedding Photography Slideshow | Lisa+Cameron

Monday, March 1, 2010 Posted in Slideshows, Weddings

This past Saturday I shot Lisa & Cameron’s Austin wedding at the Salt Lick Pavilion … which is actually out in Driftwood. Lisa and Cameron were pretty awesome and didn’t really want to do things the good old fashion traditional way. Instead of flower girls, there were their dogs, instead of cake, smores and cobbler(the most amazing cobbler ever), and (my favorite) instead of a DJ, KARAOKE! Selby Entertainment does Karaoke for weddings, and I highly recommend it! It was so fun to watch everyone sing on the stage, from a couple of guys singing Taylor Swift to a quartet singing Queen… awesome.

Lisa & Cameron did an awesome job of making their wedding about what they enjoyed in weddings. <3

Enjoy my favorite photos below as well as a slideshow at the bottom! Make sure to turn up the volume for the slideshow because at the beginning I include some of Lisa’s grandpas tear-jerking speech as well as a little bit of Cameron’s, not at all tone-deaf, singing.

Austin Wedding Photography Slideshow: Jessica & Chris

Sunday, January 24, 2010 Posted in Slideshows, Weddings

Last night I shot Jessica & Chris’ wedding at Vista on Seward Hill in Austin, TX. I knew after shooting Jessica and Chris’ engagement session that it was going to be a fun wedding to shoot. The lighting was gorgeous and so was the weather, despite the incoming cold front. The dance floor was packed the whole time and Anthony (the manager/DJ for VOSH) helped make that happen.
Cake credit!: Austin Cake Studio
Enjoy some of my favorite photos below as well as a slideshow at the bottom!

Blue October Wedding Slideshow: CB & Betsy

Sunday, January 17, 2010 Posted in Slideshows, Weddings

I am one lucky girl. Today was one of those rare Saturdays that I didn’t have a wedding planned…. I recieved a call around 11am this Saturday morning asking me to shoot at Austin’s wedding venue, Villa Antonia, for Mr. Ron Parks wedding photography- at first I wasn’t sure I wanted in until I found out it was for one of my favorite bands, Blue October’s, guitarist!! I, of course, could not turn the opportunity down. I am soooo glad that Ron invited me along (huge huge huge thank you for inviting me, did I mention that he’s also a really nice guy?), I also got to shoot with the recent newly wed Amy who I was anxious to shoot with anyway. Ben was a little jealous of the situation since he was already scheduled to 2nd shoot another wedding, so he showed up about 20 minutes before their departure. I tried not to act like a giddy school girl in front of the guys but on the inside I was really excited. I had a blast shooting the fun crowd. The live music by Taxi & Danny was awesome, not to mention I like them even more because they played my song… you know… ‘Sweet Caorline’ by Neil Diamond. ;)

CB & Betsy Hudson were super sweet and the wedding was gorgeous! I wasn’t planning on making a slideshow but I simply just could not narrow the images down to 20 or so… Is it really cheesy that I wanted to use a Blue October song to go to the slideshow pictures? Oh well, I did anyway.
I can’t wait to see the rest of the photos by Amy, Ron, and Julie.

Bride + Blue October

I love cute flower girls!!

My favorite picture of Mr. Justin Furstenfeld himself. :)

We had to take them away from the party for a little bit to get these more intimate portraits.

And of course, CB sang to Betsy, soooo sweet!

They knew the whole dance to “all the single ladies”, again, awesome.

Austin Wedding Photography Slideshow: Diana & Keegan

Tuesday, January 12, 2010 Posted in Slideshows, Weddings

This past Saturday I shot Diana and Keegan’s Austin wedding ceremony at Covenant United Methodist Church and the reception at Mercury hall. Since we knocked out all of the group photos before the ceremony Diana, Keegan, and all 16 bridesmaids and groomsmen, immediatly headed to the party! Mercury hall is now one of my favorite venues, not to mention the whole group was a blast! There were so many people on the dance floor that I had to squeeze my way through people to take photos (thanks to Justin from Complete DJs, he played a great mix of music). Also, I love me some same day slideshows! Since Ben and I had a good 20 minutes to drive between the ceremony and reception site, while I drove Ben uploaded images to create a little slideshow for everyone to see at the wedding, fast uploading card readers are one of the best inventions ever :)
Special credit to Becky from Stress Free Events for constantly keeping me updated with what was going down.
Well what can I say, 2010 is off to a great start, enjoy!

I didn’t get to spend too much time getting a good portrait of the couple since it was FREEZING cold outside and it was dark by the time we had a chance, so I found this cool little mirror in the hallway to the bathroom, pointed a tungsten gelled strobe towards them, and here we go :)

This is one of my favorite photos ever taken, I just love the calm and collected look of the flower girl while everyone is laughing and talking around her- I spent a lot of time in photoshop to get the images just the way I wanted it.

Austin Wedding Photography Slideshow: Jacqueline & Billy

Monday, January 4, 2010 Posted in Slideshows, Weddings

This past Saturday I photographed Jacqueline and Billy’s Austin wedding at Hamilton Twelve. Jacqueline and Billy decided to have a Scottish themed wedding since both of them live in Scotland right now and are working on their masters degrees. The kilts looked awesome on all the grooms men, the fathers, and especially the little ring bearer. The ceremony had a traditional bagpipe introduction and they also had a Scotch tasting bar at the end of the reception. I’m so glad that I could share such an exciting day with them . I must give props to the groomsmen for all being so… well, entertaining.

I, too, think that Jacqueline and Billy are going to do some great things after graduate school and hopefully I will be making a trip to Scotland in the next few years- I just might have to stop by the University of Glasgow and say ‘hi’. :)

Just like always, here are my favorites with the slideshow at the bottom, enjoy!
