Jake Holt Photography – Austin, Texas Photographer bio picture

This is a blog.

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 for one of two reasons: 1) to give a few details about the event and the photos themselves or 2) to make Google like my blog more. Here's an example of reason 2: "Jake Holt is an Austin, Texas based wedding photographer who spends most of his time in Austin, Texas photographing Austin, Texas weddings. If you are looking for the best wedding photography in Austin, Texas then you have come to the right Austin, Texas wedding photography blog." Google's magic algorithm loves this kind of stuff that reads, to a real human being, like a madman's insane ranting. Lucky for you, that's probably the only example of reason 2 that you'll see during your visit. 

Dede & Darin | Austin, Texas | May 30th, 2010

Whenever a bride picks red as her wedding color, it makes me very happy. When the groom’s cake has a deer on it, it makes me even happier. However, when the flower girl dances around with the bouquet IN HER MOUTH, well, that just makes my day.

Kristen & James | Wimberley, Texas | May 15th, 2010

Kristen and James managed to choose an almost unbelievably photogenic location – Old Glory Ranch in Wimberley, Texas –  and were graced with perfect weather and sunset timing. Absolutely storybook. However, I have to say that the winner for my favorite part of the day is a dead heat between 1) the amazing note to James from one of the groomsman that introduced me to the term “golden salamander,” and 2) the beer donkeys. Beer donkeys? You learn something new every day. As of press time, I think the note has a slight edge…

Becky & Tray | Austin, Texas | May 8th, 2010

The last time that I visited the Mexican American Cultural Center, it was for a big, out-of-control SXSW party. This time, however, it was for a, ummmmmmm, well, another big, out-of-control party. I should hope you would expect no less when the wedding party arrives on the Bevo Bus, adorned with feather boas and glow sticks! There’s some world-class dancing faces going on in here…

May 30, 2010 - 7:23 am Dani Knigge - Awesome.....simply awesome. Great job, beautiful wedding, and pictures. Can't wait to see more, oh, the pary wasn't bad either (smile) :-)

Heather & Taylor | Kyle, Texas | May 1st, 2010

There were so many little touches here that were just awesome, and while a field of bright yellow flowers and some amazing vintage couches never hurt, I was even more impressed by the “cake” of Rice Krispies Treats and by Heather’s choice of ceremony music. Immediate thoughts of Steve Zissou finally finding the Jaguar Shark. Esteban! Esteban!
