San Marcos Engagement Photos: Ginger + James

Last Sunday, while most people in Austin were watching the Super Bowl, I was in San Marcos shooting an engagement session with two of my clients. Ginger & James are getting married on March 28th 2010 at the Texas Federation of Women’s Club Mansion in Austin Texas. Despite cold and muggy weather we had a great time roaming around the abandoned parks on the TX State Campus. Some of you might remember, that I graduated from TX State last December with a BFA in Photography, so I was completely at home. Ginger currently works at the university, and James and her frequently hang out in the beautiful parks on campus. James actually made and fashioned the large wooden swing featured in the photos below which was tons of fun and added a personal touch to their engagement portraits. I had a blast hanging out with Ginger & James and I can’t wait till the wedding! And trough the power of DVR, I didn’t miss any of the Superbowl commercials!;)

Stunning work, Ben. That shot of them on the dock (color) is so beautiful.

You know the hardest part about you pics is picking a favorite – they’re all so great! Absolutely wonderful work.

There’s some very creative use of light here – and the couple look very relaxed and comfortable with you shooting them. Well done :)

Gorgeous images…you really have a talent. How cool that you had some alone time with the couple while the Superbowl was going on…they should have more Superbowls if not to clear out the streets now and again more often!!

Great set Ben! The shot of them in the covered walkway is superb!

I’m with Paul. Those tilt shift shots are awesome. Also the tones in your black and whites is perfect. Nice work Ben.

Such a gorgeous series. Very well done! I really like the one with them on the end of the pier – the deep green of the water really adds to the mood here. Beautiful work.
