Jessi and George – A Very Austin Wedding at Gallery Black Lagoon

George and Jessi are my kind of couple. They are informed, have great taste, fun-as-all-get-up, and pretty gosh darn adorable. They scripted their day to make sense for them, which, as a photographer, I adore. Their sweet ceremony clocked in at under 5 minutes, and having a first-look meant they got lots of mingle-time with their guests. This wedding was a blast of fresh Austin air, and Jessi and George’s love is as light and breezy as a cloudless sky.

[Oh yes.. my favorite wedding moment EVER happened at this wedding. Keep in mind, Gallery Black Lagoon is in a residential street, surrounded by cute Hyde Park houses. So.. random wedding guest heads in from the streetside patio, and a CAT darts into the venue after him. This kitty guns it: fast as lightening, like some crazy pent-up wind-up toy. She's quickly scooped up by a heroic partier who takes the little darling outside where she belongs. Suddenly, a distressed young woman runs across the street yelling "ROXANNE!!". Her cat, Roxanne, is in heavily in heat, and made a break for it to find, well, "company." (You know what they say about wedding dance floors!) Someone of course yells to kitty "Roxanne! You don't have to put on the red light"... everyone's in stitches, and Roxanne looks very pleased with herself.]

Dog Portraits – Misha the Austinite Dog

So, my own eensy biological clock ticks so quietly I’ve actually yet to find it, pet-love is something that strikes in all kinds of ways. Tail-wags of dogs in purses, adopt-me kitties in cages on Congress Street, and, yep, like any hardworking, straight-talking, no-bullshit lady, I admit to watching videos of the “cutest dog on...

Han and Drew – Marie Gabrielle wedding in Dallas Texas

Han and Drew met while creating a building: working on the same architectural project together. I love these two, they’re sophisticated but spunky, and totally adored by their friends and family. The reknowned restuarant Marie Gabrielle hosted the day, and their outdoor gardens proved a gorgeous spot for an outdoor ceremony. I love the dynamic...
