Groom in the cooler

Here was one of my favorites from last night. I call it “Groom in the cooler.”
Technically, the walk-in cooler was made for flowers, but the groomsmen where very impressed with it’s ability to keep both them and their beer at a comfortable temperature. Any time I needed one of them for a shot I’d open [...]

Lighting = Drama

I get a lot of questions about lighting photos even during the day. Usually it’s from clients who look at me funny as I drag flashes out while the sun is shining brightly. These were from a shoot tonight and I thought they nicely illustrated the difference even one light makes.

This was shot with available [...]

Congratulations Mallorie and Aaron

Last night we shot Mallorie and Aaron’s wedding at the UT Golf Club. I’ll be posting the full set over the next few weeks along with some of my favorites from her bridal session.

Marketing for next year

I’ve been working on my current marketing for the past few years and didn’t even know it. Over the next two days I’ve got two interesting new-business meetings. The funny thing is, both contacts came from some work I did in the past. The even funnier thing is, they weren’t big flashy projects. You know [...]

Challenge yourself

Yesterday was a long day. I prepped all morning for a bridal shoot with Mallorie. I arrived at the shoot around 2:00 and we didn’t finish until almost eight in the evening. It involved a lot of time in the heat and even shooting some bridal photos inside UT head coach Mack Brown’s office (but [...]

Cindy + Matt Engagement Session

Yesterday we shot Cindy and Matt’s engagment session all over Austin. We started in some woods near the 360 bridge, went to the beautiful Cimaron Hills Golf course and ended up in a field behind my house. They brought Matt’s beautiful daughter along to turn it into a family shoot too.
I hired Colton to be [...]
