Austin Wedding at Vista on Seward Hill: Josh & Tatiana

Josh & Tatiana’s wedding at Vista on Seward Hill was simply magical. I am absolutely in love with ALL of their wedding photos. I can’t narrow them down so I made a slide show to showcase my favorites. They had a very small wedding with close family and friends, most of them from out of the country. Everyone was so relaxed, friendly and welcoming which made for a very pleasant evening.

Downtown Austin Engagement Photography: Caitlin & Michael

I realize I have been posting A LOT of engagement session lately…. because I have been doing A LOT!! The weather has been too perfect for me not to!
Caitlin and Michael’s wedding is just around the corner (in only 2 weeks!), so I had to get these out fast! One of my fellow study abroad Italy trip goers (I hope that made sense) will be one of the groomsmen at this wedding- but of course we didn’t find this out until I added Caitlin on facebook, what a small world we live in. We mainly shot around the Austin Capitol and the alley ways south of it, every time I go down those streets I find new cool places to shoot that I haven’t seen before, can’t beat that. I love Austin!

I’m going to be a God-mother!!

Yup, you heard right. In less than 2 weeks I will be the proud God-mother of baby Emma. Kirstin is my God-sister (I know that’s a term NO ONE seems to use but us) but she is practically my sister and I have known her since I was a baby myself…. so I am incredibly excited that her and David have chosen me to be a part of her life… FOREVER! I was really excited about this particular picture so I had to post it TONIGHT!! As you can see… I’m quite excited in general.:)More to come later on of course!

Austin Engagement Session: Kayla & Brien

A little bit of country a little bit of rock’n'roll.
Kayla grew up on a farm and Brien is from as north as you can get in US, Maine. They are both intelligent and goofy, which I think makes an awesome mix.
We started at my studio meeting space off South Lamar then head down to South Congress to get some cool street shots and some downtown views. Enjoy the multi-location and multi-style shots, I had a blasty blast.

I love the irony in this photo…. a country couple standing in the middle of the road with a skyline in the background. and yes, we went out in the middle of the road with an off-camera flash….
