Becker Wine Vineyard in Fredericksburg: Mandy + Braxton

Austin Wedding Photographer — Wed, 15 Sep 2010 21:25:12 +0000

Mandy & Braxton had a small, intimate wedding at Becker Vineyards out in Fredericksburg, Texas. What a wonderful day it turned out to be! They decided to do a “First Look” before the ceremony in the beautiful Becker Wine Vineyard. I love it when I get plenty of time with the Bride & Groom for portraits! The ceremony was wonderful and the food was to die for! As the evening winded down, I stepped out back and looked up to see the most amazing night sky I have seen in a long time. I grew up in the country and when I was younger I remember being mesmerized by the night sky. I could stare out at the stars and ponder the origin of our existence for hours. That night, the feeling came back to me as I set up the last shot of the night… Enjoy!

Big thanks to Eric Kotara for second shooting!

Austin Wedding at Villa Antonia: Betsy & C.B. Hudson

Austin Wedding Photographer — Sun, 17 Jan 2010 07:26:54 +0000

Today was exciting! I had the opportunity second shoot for a great Austin Wedding Photographer, Ron Parks. Super friendly guy with a great team of photographers based in Austin, Texas. He needed some help shooting a “Celebrity” wedding out at Villa Antonia… Turned out to be the Guitarist of one of my FAVORITE bands, Blue October!!! I wasn’t able to attend the whole wedding because I was in San Antonio shooting another wedding… sometimes it sucks to be busy… But I made it out for the ending and the exit shot. Caroline on the other hand, was lucky enough to photograph the whole wedding along side Mr. Ron Parks and his crew… It must have been a blast! Check out her slide show of the wedding here. I LOVE MY JOB!!! Below is the only good shot I got as Mr. Hudson and his new bride as they exited the venue to head off to their honey moon on some tropical island…

I have seen Blue October many times in concert over the last few years. They are a local Austin Band after all. Below are a couple photos I took at one of their concerts back in 2007 out in New Braunfels. These were shot with my Canon G7 point and shoot camera… pretty good considering the tough lighting conditions… make sure to check back for more photos.
