Jessica and Dan will be married this weekend, so the energy for this shoot was high. They live in downtown in one of Austin’s many new buildings. Jessica says, ” I fall in love with my city every morning as I drink my coffee and watch the sunrise over Austin.” We wanted to capture some of what they love best about the city, so we wandered around back alleys, visited bars and music venues, and even ran out into the middle of the Congress street bridge. We are looking forward to the wedding and their flower dog!…photos coming soon.

I think by viewing the photos below you will be able to tell that we had a good time photographing Allison. She was beautiful and graceful, with a brilliant laugh. We explored Green Pastures fully, shooting in almost every room, (including the tiny bar on the half floor) and outside as well. Craig Fuller of Photosynthesis did a great job on her bouquet and I loved the peacock feathered hair piece you can see in the last photo.

Amy will be married later this spring at the Riverbend Chapel with a reception at Austin 71, so yesterday was perfect timing for a portrait sitting. Her dress, make up, hair, jewelry and shoes all came together perfectly, not to mention the beautiful bouquet by Verbena Floral Design.

I am currently visiting Brian in Los Angeles where he has been spending some time these past few months. He has been taking some time to work on some personal photography projects, landscapes and portraits mostly. You can check out some of what he is doing on his website and blog, 500 Pound Leon.

We found ourselves in the Santa Monica Mountains yesterday, sitting in a tree enjoying the view.
