Eco-Chic Wedding Photography Congratulations to Lisa Rainwater and Andy Mele of Poughkeepsie NY! These two are a great example of having a green wedding.

What a fantastic wedding! Jessica and Chris were married in a private ceremony on her parents lovely homestead in Wimberley, Texas. This was a beautiful and environmentally conscious wedding. Jessica is a woman after my own heart, her gown was borrowed, her shoes were reclaimed, their rings were from greenkarat.com and most, if not all of the delisious food served at their intimate backyard

Kimberly & Gerard had a beautiful and intimate wedding at Mayfield House in Austin. My favorite part was the 2 1/2 hour boat ride we took after the ceremony. The lighting was amazing and it reminded me of the boats that go up and down the Seine river in Paris. So romantic... These two sweethearts look like they've been together forever, there's so much love evident between them! Their families

I am feeling very inspired after this lovely engagement session with Tamara and Jack. We started our photographic foray at their lovely farm house in Buda where I got to meet Tamara's adorable and very photogenic standard poodle. I also got to meet the hundreds (or what seemed like hundreds) of adopted cacti and succulents Jack and Tamara had received from Jack's father. This was especially cool

No, I didn't do it on purpose and yes, I did the mopping. It made for some good comic relief, photographer by day, Laguna Gloria janitor by night. Oh boy...

Martha and Beau got married at The Episcopal Church of the Good Sheperd. She looked amazing in a silk renassaince inspired gown that was handmade just for her. After the ceremony the wedding party headed over to the Shoreline Grill for some bat watching (apparently they were out but we didn't see them!), yummy food and dancing fun. I bet Beau is an amazing chef, too bad they don't live here in

All Martha needed to tell me was that a) her fiance Beau was a chef in the big apple and b) they were having their rehearsal dinner at The Original County Line. Actually, she just needed to say BBQ and I was hers. Martha and Beau have exceptionally good taste in wine and food. Their first choice was Smitty's in Lockhardt, the holy grail of Texas BBQ. Unfortunatly for Smitty's, they were unable to

The benefits of having an engagement photography session with your wedding photographer goes beyond receiving those extra images of you and your fiancé. Having an engagement session allows you to get a preview of how your photographer likes to shoot. It gives you the opportunity to shake off any pre-wedding gitters and it’s a great way to get used to having a camera in your face before your

Savvy brides know that there’s more to hiring a wedding photographer then just loving their images. Brides want a professional, someone who is discreet, sensitive to their needs and understands what an emotional day a wedding day can be. But why chose a woman wedding photographer over a man? Shouldn’t an artist be judged on the merit of their work and not their sex? Yes and no. Choosing a woman

With the advent of roll film and better lighting equipment at the turn of the 20th Century savvy photojournalists would snap photos of post WWII weddings, attempting to sell them their photos to the couple after they wed.Contemporary wedding photography came

Let’s be honest. When choosing a wedding photographer, what are brides really looking for? In my experience as a fine art wedding photographer, there are two major concerns brides have. Will the photographer be sensitive to her wedding day needs and will the photographer adequately capture how fabulous she looks on her wedding day?First, being sensitive to a bride’s needs goes beyond whether the
