Austin Wedding Photography Slideshow: Jessica & Chris

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.

Buddhist Wedding in Austin, Texas

Last month I had the pleasure to assist my good friend Peter Tsai at a Buddhist wedding in Austin, Texas. I have never photographed or even attended one before so it was quite a treat to witness and the Bride and Groom were super nice. The wedding was beautiful and the karaoke that followed was top notch…;)Below are some of my favorite photos from the wedding day. Enjoy!

Indian Wedding Photography in Houston

A couple weeks ago I had a wonderful opportunity to second shoot a wedding with Francis Joseph. He was shooting an Indian wedding in Houston and needed help for the 2 day event. It was amazing! The reception was held in a GIANT airport hanger in Tomball Texas. You might recall that I shot a Pakistani wedding in Dallas with Lynette J back in May of 09. The ceremony was held at the Sikh Center in Houston on Sat. and the Reception was the next day in Tomball. On the second day the Bride and Groom made their grand entrance in a Helicopter! I got to ride with them.;)The rest of the night was filled with lots of great food, and dancing. Enjoy my favorite photos below.
