Tatiana and Josh were married last night at the Vista on Seward Hill in Austin, Texas. Everyone was so friendly and kind, I could not ask for better clients. The outdoor wedding, while a little chilly, turned out really nice and the reception was very romantic. They were so cute and lovey all the time which made it really easy for me to capture those moments. Congratulation to both you!!! Here are two of my favorite photos from the wedding.

Last night was the first time I photographed a wedding at the Star Hill Ranch… I gotta say, it is was one of my favorite wedding venues in Austin. There are so many interesting backdrops to photograph. The venue is also very flexible to fit any size wedding with the option to choose between two different chapels. They also have accommodations for up to 500 guest, Amazing place…
Leticia and Josh got married on August 30th, 2009. The wedding could not have turned out more perfect. The weather was very pleasant considering it was over 100 degrees just two weeks earlier. They choose to get married in the smaller chapel which had much more character than the larger one so there was not quite enough space for everyone to fit. The wedding went on without a hitch and after they exited, they rang the chapel bell to Que the Mariachi Band to begin playing for the guest while I took the Bride and Groom around for some portraits. There were so many interesting locations, I almost wanted to keep shooting for another hour, but the party continued inside. After dinner everyone really enjoyed the candy bar provided by the Bride and Groom and then when it came time to cut the cake, all the Brides Maids went around to cut the cakes which had been placed on every table. Very clever idea… the rest of the evening was nice and relaxing. Close friends and family stayed around for some dancing celebrating. I wish the best to Leticia and Josh. Congratulations!
This one was shot with the 100mm Macro lens. I placed the Rings on the mirror that was underneath the center pieces. Christmas lights were hanging all round the reception hall so I used them as a backdrop in the reflection. I would have liked to get more DOF but I was already at 3200iso and 1/60th shutter to get as much ambient as possible so I could not lower the aperture.

Leticia and Josh are two amazing people! We connected through mutual friend’s, Grace and Steven, who’s wedding I shot back in April. They wanted a real authentic Austin scenery for their engagement photos so we started at Butler park, which has a great view of the Austin sky line, then headed down South Congress to experience what makes Austin unique.
Josh is in a Christian Rock group, they travel all around the world! He will actually be coming back just a few days before the wedding…
It was really HOT so we stopped by Amy’s Ice Cream to enjoy a cold treat… It really hit the spot! I had the Passion Fruit, highly recommended!
Ahh…The Famous Greeting’s from Austin Mural… I have seen plenty of pics in front of this mural but I never knew where it was until now. South 1st and Annie street by the way…
