Below you will see various collections of images, please feel free to look at them more than once, they will not wear out after heavy usage as will a traditional photographic print. These images are all stored somewhere on the internet on a mysterious thing called a "server," which is French for "made of magic." Most of these collections are accompanied by various words and punctuation marks that I have included in order to either put the images in context or to make Google like me more. Feel free to look at or even read these words - although it is not required, by reading all of the words you will accumulate bonus points and eventually unlock secret levels of my blog and oh my I've already said too much...
Lizzie and Khanh gave me the opportunity to shoot at two new locations – Emmaus Catholic Parish and the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center. I left each of these places impressed but also with questions – first, how long did it take to assemble that ceiling at Emmaus? That thing is insane. Second, did LBJ actually use that quilt, and if so, did we violate some kind of unspoken Texas law by acting silly in its presence? I really don’t want to offend LBJ.

I’d like to address four exceptional things about Lauren & Ben’s wedding at Three Points Ranch:
1) The rooms set aside for the bride and groom to hang out in before the ceremony were Airstream trailers…each fully furnished with an eclectic array of midcentury furniture. I want them.
2) The band, L.C. Rocks, was much, much more than you would ever expect from a wedding band – think full-on rock show, complete with wind machines and ladies being pulled onstage to dance. Or, after a certain point, ladies voluntarily jumping onstage and dancing with the various band members. See photos below.
3) A wedding guest took the stage with the band and shredded. SHREDDED. He’s the one with the gray hair and glasses.
4) I managed to avoid getting bitten by a rattlesnake, something I thought very, very likely when I first arrived.
It was a very excellent day.

Shooting at Barr Mansion is a great experience – it’s one of those rare places that has so many great spots for photos that the challenge isn’t in finding a good spot, it’s in narrowing down all of the options and choosing which locations are the most awesome. My favorite spot, as you can see, is the main room in the “original mansion” – and Chris, Lauren and her bridesmaids did an admirable job of looking every bit as classic as the room itself.
Ashley and John chose one of the most original wedding venues that I’ve ever seen – The Confederate Air Force hangar at the San Marcos Airport. I’d been excited about this wedding for months, and it certainly didn’t disappoint. While some may have been nonplussed at the prospect of having a large caliber machine gun pointed directly at them during their wedding ceremony, Ashley and John didn’t seem to mind one bit, and it sure made for some one-of-a-kind photos…and I succeeded in not hitting my head on a wing or propeller, surprisingly. And by the way, John actually owns that amazing automobile. Jealous.
November 11, 2009 - 6:17 pm - You did such a wonderful job of capturing the nights events. They are a beautiful couple and this shows it perfectly!!
November 10, 2009 - 2:40 pm - They were an amazing couple to work with! Jake was AWESOME I would love to work with him again.
November 9, 2009 - 8:36 am - Super jealous of this venue - what an amazing idea! And, as always, the light is just incredible. Please share your secrets.
