A La Vie Photography

The first half of 2010!

As a wedding photographer, you live and die by the spring and fall season. There are weddings in the summer and winter but it’s not the same as the prime wedding season. When I get ready for the fall, I like to take a look at what the spring season looked like to see where I am and where I want to go. I thought I would post a few of my favorite highlights starting with my Mexico wedding at the Grand Velas hotel. – If you ever want to go spend time at the BEST hotel in the world, go to Grand Velas. It is a five star all inclusive hotel and we had a hard time leaving. My son wants to spend his 13th birthday there.:)

While in I was in Mexico, I had a chance to photograph a beach engagement and a "first see" before the wedding. I love those moments!

As a former newspaper photographer, I LOVE b&w!

The thought that goes into the details is what makes weddings so fun!

Kelly and Ryan were married in Mexico and then had a wonderful reception at the Lakeway Resort. Everything was gorgeous and it was a great party.

Kelly and Ryan, I wish you both the best!

I loved their cute new puppy!

Ryan was checking out Kelly's quick bridal!

Taylor and I go way back… if you look on the mast of my blog, she’s the little girl running through the birds. She has a new little brother and he’s just as adorable.

Enjoy!

Barton / Money Wedding!

Kristal and Gant were married last weekend at the always gorgeous and fun Vintage Villas. It had been raining all day and then the clouds broke and I couldn’t believe I was standing outside in July. It was cool and perfect.

Robin Hanna was their coordinator and she did a great job!

Kristal and Gant, I wish you both the best!

Betsy and Scotty… growing up way too fast!

I love these two!

So we thought we'd get a picture of them together sitting in chairs in the woods...and then bugs showed up on the ground.

On the right, Scotty had just stolen the ribbon out of Betsy's hair. Classic brother!

Russell/Ansari Nikkah!

Anna and Nadeem had a beautiful Muslim ceremony called a Nikkah at the Renaissance Hotel. I was hired to photograph their wedding next year and was thrilled that they also asked me to photograph the Nikkah for them. Having the chance to photograph different cultures is one of my very favorite parts of my job.

Anna and Nadeem, I’ll see you next year!

The highlight of the ceremony is when Nadeem and Anna's dad agree that they should marry.

After the agreement, Anna and Nadeem can sit together.

Adame/Arias Wedding!

I drove to Houston over Memorial day weekend to photograph Adriana and Brian’s wedding ath the Congregation Beth Yeshurum temple. I love Jewish weddings and the poignant traditions that go with a wedding. They followed their ceremony with a reception at the Houstonian Hotel. I LOVED this hotel. It had such a feeling of grandure.

Adriana and Brian, I wish you both the best!

Adriana’s Bridals!

Adriana drove down from Houston to photograph her bridals on a rainy and dreary day last spring. We didn’t have many options so I told her as a professional, we should be able to come up with something. She was a great sport (and gorgeous) so it was fun to see the results.

Enjoy!

Meck/Noonan Wedding!

Kimberly and Brian were married at the St. Thomas Moore Catholic Church over Labor Day weekend and had a gorgeous ceremony with mass. They then moved over to the Austin Country Club for a great day time reception. As a photographer, I love daytime events because the available light is so gorgeous. Brian and Kimberly are both golfers and it was great to be able to give them the 360 bridge shot from the golf course.

Barbara Hearne with Barbaras Brides was their crazy talented wedding coordinator. Chandler Prude was my second shooter and he did a wonderful job with the details.

Kimberly and Brian, I wish you both the best!!

Underwood/Holland Wedding!

I had the extreme pleasure of heading to Granbury Texas to photograph Taylor and Brandon’s wedding. I had photographed Taylor’s sister’s wedding a couple of years ago so it was great to see the Underwood family again. I had never been to Granbury and was thrilled that it was a little town with a big lake and cute town square. We had a great time hanging out.

Taylor and Brandon, I wish you both the best! – You guys managed to have the last wedding in the spring before it got crazy hot.

I love a photo booth!

I also love cowboys!
