Red Corral Ranch Wedding: Sarah & Christian

November 22, 2010

Last month I got to shoot at one of my favorite wedding venues in Texas. The Red Corral Ranch is a beautiful wedding venue with a big red barn set in the Texas hill country near Wimberley. It is just nice to get away from the rush of the city. A perfect setting for a wedding! Sarah & Christian got married at the Ranch in Oct. at the Pavilion. The weather was clear and later in the night at the big red barn, we all got to enjoy home-made smores while gazing up at the night sky. Make sure to check out the slideshow at the bottom and Sarah & Christian’s engagement photos here. Also if you haven’t tagged yourself in the Party-Booth photos, head over to facebook to find them!

Bill Millios - November 26, 2010 - 7:19 am

Whooooooooooa. I’m going down the list, “That’s my favorite. No, that’s my favorite. Wow, that’s my new favorite.” Home run, Ben. All around. The outdoor shots in the field, the shots with the overhead twinkly lights, the black and whites … spectacular.

Tenielle - November 25, 2010 - 7:35 pm

Colors and details!!! *Swoon*!! I adore the black and white shot of them in the field, has such a wonderful nostalgia about it. Beautiful!

Jessica Schilling - November 23, 2010 - 1:15 am

It’s pointless trying to pick favorite shots because these are all so amazing. Like really amazing. Love that there are so many different kinds of sparkly, gorgeous lights throughout and the couple looks so incredibly happy, it’s got me all smiley.

Magan Blasig - November 22, 2010 - 11:55 pm

Oh gosh! I can’t decide which set of images I like best – the first look, the field photos, or the beautiful bokeh and dancing… AWESOME job, Ben!

Wow! The colours are stunning in this mega cool wedding, the play fighting image with boxing gloves and martial arts head tie = hilarious. Well captured Ben!

Paul Rowland - November 22, 2010 - 4:10 pm

Great wedding, Ben. Love the light painting and the portraits of just the two of them. Truly classic.

Nessa K - November 22, 2010 - 3:57 pm

I have so many favorites from this wedding, Ben, but my all time favorite has got to be the black and white of them in the field. It’s so timeless and beautiful. These are amazing. =)

Ashley Gillett - November 22, 2010 - 2:34 pm

Wedding at Red Corral Ranch in Wimberley: Sam + Matt

May 24, 2010

I absolutely LOVE shooting weddings at Red Corral Ranch in Wimberley! They offer a wide variety of ceremony locations and many accommodations for your out of town guests. Sam & Matt chose to get married at The Labyrinth which, in medieval times, symbolized a hard path to God with a clearly defined center (God) and one entrance (birth). It represents the sacred journey, a pilgrimage of devotion which also represents the joining of two people in marriage. It was a beautiful day in Texas, the sun was out and the peacocks were displaying their beautiful plumage. The floral decor from Cowgirls & Flowers set a perfect tone for the day and rounded out the peacock theme. Congratulations to Sam & Matt! Below are some of my favorite images from the wedding as well as a Multi-Media slideshow at the end which includes some audio from the ceremony. Enjoy! As always, when me and Sweet Caroline team up something magical happens…

Sarah & Christian’s Engagement Photos in Wimberley

November 17, 2009

I love finding new and interesting locations for Engagement Session’s! Sarah and Christian originally wanted to shoot in Austin with the city skyline in the background but things didn’t work out as planned. Instead we went to a Private Ranch in Wimberley owned by one of their friends, it was simply amazing! It was foggy and a little rainy on that particular day but that didn’t stop us, we actually embraced it! There were soooo many awesome backdrops for the shoot. I had a great time hanging out and getting to know Sarah & Christian before their big Wedding day next October. I know their wedding is going to be amazing. Here are some of my favorite images… Hope you enjoy.
