Miranda has been good friends with my sister, Megan, now for a few years. They met each other because their kids went to school together and since then she has been a part of the whole family. Her kids Shyann and Dalton, aka the only bridesmaid and groomsman, are downright amazing. I was ecstatic when they asked me to shoot their wedding. I thought it was going to be a little intimidating working in front of everyone in my family but it turned to be a blast. The wedding was held at Angel Springs in Austin, a cute venue made perfect for weddings. They decided to get married on June 1st, a monday..? the date was very significant to them, the day Miranda’s grandfather passed away. The ceremony was very sweet and Jason made sure to give her a nice long kiss by request of Miranda and I. Shyann was the last to give her speech and it shocked everyone by being such a heartfelt yet amazingly funny speech for a 13 year-old girl that didn’t write anything down before hand.
I really hope that I get to shoot more weddings like these in the future!

I held the camera on a tripod over the tables to get these shots…




For this shot I put an external flash in the closet behind the dress to light them up!


A few heartfelt moments between Mother and Daughter just before the wedding. Shyann was soooo happy…







This required some serious timing skillz… It took about 10 tries to get it right…

I have never seen anyone use bubbles for the first dance… but I highly recommend it!


Here’s Dalton, training to be a photographer… on the right is my nephew, Gaige, dancing with Shyann. Below is my sister, Megan dancing with her soon the be husband, JT. I will be shooting their wedding in Costa Rica next May!!! On the bottom right is my Mother and Lee, they got married a couple years ago…
