Allow me to take you way way back for a moment.  Back, all the way to September of 2012.  The most memorable event of the month?   Karis and Brandon got married.  It was a cloudy morning, with thunder clouds rolling through the area threatening to rain on this planned outdoor event.  But by 2 or 3 the sky looked almost completely safe. The thick Texas clouds had lightened up and were moving quickly across the sky  The sun was peeking through, the air had dried up, and things were all set to go. an absolutely ethereal looking Karis remarked calmly that, you know, if it rains a little bit before the ceremony, no big deal, we’re doing this thing outside.

The weather held.  Right up to the very moment that Karis began her walk down the aisle.  Right at that moment–downpour.  Disaster, no?

No.  Look at the smiles on their faces.  It was amazing.   A brief hiatus was called to move the proceedings inside, and a soaked bride and groom said their vows in front of an intimate group of friends and family.

It could have been a total nightmare, and it was one of my favorite weddings of the year.  Because Karis & Brandon are in love, and love conquers all, MOTHAH NATCHAH!

I adore this wedding.  I don’t know why I haven’t blogged it until now.  I’ve been saving it for something special I think. Or maybe because blogging it sort of means it’s officially come to an end.  I don’t know, but I’m sorry I held this back from you all.

Belated congrats are in order to Erica and Joey who were married a couple of weekends back here in Austin.   It was a lovely ceremony, and honest to God, the craziest dance party ever.  Stay tuned.

congrats you guys!

You won’t want to miss this wedding. The bride, the groom, the dress, the sword.

That’s right, I said sword.

How much do I love this wedding?   There are no words.  A stunning bride, beautiful florals, a gorgeous day, the beautiful non-traditional dress, a perfectly quirky rustic venue, hand crocheted river stones–CROCHETED STONES!!–and full-on rainbow, all the way.  All of that was amazing.   But what I love most about this wedding is this couple.  The wedding was so full of joy, and song, and smiles, and laughs, and family.  It was impossible not to get swept up in this affair.

Congratulations to the lovely Maggie + Southpaw  We are still on cloud 9 with you both.

I’ve been trying to narrow down the photos for this post since November.  Forget it.  Here’s a ton of images.  Enjoy.

Red Corrall Ranch • Austin/Dripping Springs, TX

So excited to tell you that Katie + Ivan’s New Years Eve wedding at the Red Corral Ranch was featured in the February 2013 issue of Tribeza Magazine.  We’re hugely honored that our photography was featured in the story.

This wedding was one of our favorite weddings ever.  I was nervous about how the day was going to go when we got out to the property, and it was so misty and foggy.  I immediately thought of how amazing the photography would be, but I quickly put that thought out of my mind.  Who would want to go walking through this kind of weather in their wedding dress?

When Katie arrived on the scene, the first thing she said to me was “I love this romantic weather!”

Yesssssssssssss! Hive Five.

Katie and Ivan had a very small ceremony with just family in attendance.  Then they had a delicious family-style meal together.  Friends joined them after dinner to ring in the new year.  It was such a happy, celabratory event, and the best way I can think of to close out our 2012.

Congrats Katie + Ivan.  Here’s a preview of the feature in Tribeza, followed by some of my favorite images.

Durango Mountain Resort  •  Durango, CO

This past fall, we took a trip to Durango, Colorado to photograph the wedding of my cousin Meri  and her groom Lance. They married at the very top of a ski slope at Durango Mountain Resort, overlooking a view that is nothing short of breathtaking.  As a kid I skied these slopes many many times, so it was an amazing, surreal experience to be up there in the early fall, with no snow on the ground, working.  It was a beautiful backdrop for a beautiful event.

Their wedding is featured this month in the 2013 issue of Durango Weddings Magazine, and we couldn’t be more thrilled for them.  Here’s a little peek at the spread, plus a few of my favorite images from their celebration.

Congratulations Meri + Lance!

Brennan’s of Houston • Houston, TX

When Kaci and I first talked on the phone, the first thing she said to me was “you’ve really got you’re work cut out for you, because we take awful photographs.”

She.

was.

so.

so.

wrong.

Kaci and Matt opted for a truly lovely New Orleans style brunch wedding at historic Brennan’s of Houston. Everything about the wedding was stunning and amazing. I don’t know if my favorite part was the gorgeous ceremony, the amazing food, the New Orleans jazz band, the surprise second line, or the end when the second line completely invaded and took over the Canadian bar next door.  All of it was my favorite.  There are way too many photos here, and I really don’t care. I love them all.

Oh and Kaci & Matt?  They photograph Gorgeous.
