Austin Wedding Photography: Matt & Cori @ The Terrace Club

Posted in Wedding Photography 35 comments

Saturday I had the distinct honor to photograph the wedding of another Austin Wedding Photographer, Matt Montalvo. I wanted to make something truly unique, so I produced a time lapse video of the whole wedding, which took place at The Terrace Club in Austin, Texas. The video was created entirely out of still images, taken with my canon 40d and 5d MarkII. I can honsetly say that this was one of the most entertaining, fun, crazy wedding I have ever attended. That’s because, we photographers and wedding industry folk know how to party! Some of the rockstar guest/vendors included, Francis Cruzada, Sweet Caroline, Arol Horkavy, Matt Montalvo(the groom), Richard Lizama, and Joel from GreenBelt DJ (Highly Recommended)

Check out the wedding photos from Matt & Cori’s wedding at The Terrace Club here.

This video was made using still images taken with my Canon 40d and 5d MarkII. It spans about 6 hrs during the wedding day…

Equipment Used:
10-22mm lens on 40d
45mm TS on 5d
Satechi. TR-A Timer Remote Control Shutter Canon 430exII FlashTripod

Paige & Arthur’s Wedding photos @ House on the Hill in Austin

Posted in Wedding Photography 4 comments

Last Sunday we photographed Paige & Arthur’s wedding at House on the Hill in Austin, Texas. It turned out to be a wonderful day, we were blessed with beautiful weather, surrounded by wonderful people and the Austin Family Jewel’s set the tone of the day with their wonderful folk music. They have been described as “original music which runs the gamut from energetic Americana and bluegrass numbers to poignant gypsy ballads, poetic folk songs, and even forays into jazz and blues.” It was a perfect day organized and decorated by Harper Ferguson of Bella Floral Creative. (highly recommended for all your Floral and Planning needs!) I could not have asked for better clients. Paige actually used to work with my mother a few years back so she immediately recognized my name while searching for a photographer on TheKnot.com

Austin Wedding Videography: Becky + Steven

Posted in Wedding Video 9 comments

Last Sunday I filmed one of Caroline’s weddings at the House on the Hill in Austin, Texas. It was actually raining on and off most of the day so we were lucky that the rain lifted and the sun came out just before the wedding ceremony. Becky and Steven wrote their own vows and also decided to meet each other before the wedding. They are truly a unique couple and I wish them the best in the future.
Being only my 3rd wedding to film, I think it turned out perfect and I really learned a lot. I can’t wait to add a video package so I can create more wedding films for my clients in Austin, Texas.

1-one cinematographer
1-5D MarkII
1-Tripod, 1 GlideTrack, 1 Merlin Steady Cam
24-70mm2.8, 70-200mm4.0, 28mm1.8
audio was captured using a Zoom H4N paired with sennheiser ew g2 wireless lav mics

Very difficult to shot a wedding with only 1 camera but here it is. A little creative editing helps a lot!;)

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.
