Matt & Cori’s Wedding Photos @ Terrace Club in Austin

Posted in Wedding Photography 23 comments

Last Saturday I had a wonderful opportunity to photograph another wedding photographer’s wedding at The Terrace Club in Austin. You might remember the time lapse wedding video that I created of Matt’s wedding in my last post, well here are the actual photos that I took during the day. I had a wonderful time at the wedding got some amazing photos. I posted a few more images than I normally do because I knew so many of guest at the wedding and I couldn’t narrow them down. Make sure to check out Francis Joseph’s Blog for more images that he took during the day. Congrats to Matt & Cori! Here’s to a long and happy life together. Cheers!

Austin Wedding Videography: Brandi & Trey

Posted in Wedding Video 9 comments

Does anybody ever watch their wedding videos more than once? Have you ever seen someone cry after watching there 2 hour wedding video? Most people can’t pay attention long enough. I wanted to create something different, something that you’ll want to watch over and over until you can’t stop crying. I want to make a cinematic experience that you will never forget. I will be launching a new service very soon which will include a wedding day feature film. I have a few more weddings coming up before I do a hard launch, so stay tuned. More info to come…

I just received a bunch of new video gear to make cinematic wedding films using my 5D MarkII. I went along to one of Caroline’s wedding to create a video trailer for Brandi and Trey. It was a very small wedding on a Thursday, held at the Wingate hotel. The Ceremony was supposed to to be held at the Chapel Dulcinea but it got rained out so they had the ceremony at the reception site. It turned out to be a really nice evening.

Check out Caroline’s Photos HERE.


Brandie and Trey were married on Sept. 10th 2009. They had a very small wedding at the Wingate hotel in Austin, Texas.

I shot this film using my Canon 5d MarkII and a variety of lenses including the 24-70mm 2.8, 70-200mm 4.0 and the 100mm macro for the ring shots.

This was my first time using the GlideTrack system to achieve the cinematic style. I really love the end result, after many hours of editing…

I have two more weddings coming up to prefect the art and I can’t wait to see what I can create.

Austin Bridal Portaits at the Capitol: Marlene

Posted in Bridal Portraits 4 comments

Marlene is getting married on September 26th 2009! Only a few short weeks away. Check out her engagement photos HERE. Today we shot her Bridal Portraits at the Austin Capitol building. It ended up raining through the whole shoot so we didn’t get a chance to take any photos outside, but we did get to explore the capitol building thoroughly. We found some really cool locations and backdrops for the shoot.
As always, lighting is the most important element in photography and especially with bridal portraits. Caroline helped me with the lighting using a light stand, pocket wizard flex tt5 with a 430ex II on top shooting through a white umbrella to soften it up. For a couple shots we also used a second back light to create some separation and drama. It turned out really nice and I can’t wait to shoot her wedding in Bastrop.

For this shot we used two lights. One shot through the white umbrella from the left and the other one bouncing of the large white wall on the right to fill in her face.
