family visit

My brother, Rick and niece and nephew, Nicole and Matt, came from New Jersey for a visit last week. They hadn't been here since we were married 10 years ago. They changed, we changed and boy had Austin changed. They live in rural New Jersey, lakes, mountains and even bears, so we try to do city things but couldn't resist a trip to Hamilton's Pool. I think the highlight though was Eeyore's birthday, they got a truly unique Austin experience there.

Rachel and Kevin's Austin, Texas destination wedding

We shot Rachel and Kevin's destination wedding at Green Pastures in Austin this past weekend. The couple live in Los Angeles and planned for a beautiful outdoor ceremony on the grounds of this historic victorian home built in 1895. The day turned out to be awesomely beautiful. Coby Neil's flowers were incredible and Grady Gaines and the Texas Upsetters rocked the house all evening. Here is a small sample of the many lovely images that the day provided.

Austin Cityscapes

Woke up ridiculously early today. So decided to take advantage of the unfortunate fact and went out and shot some austin cityscapes. The top one is from the newly opened Observation Hill that is part of the new park that opened on Riverside Drive. It provides a wonderful view of downtown Austin.
