I guess since they got married last weekend, I can put up some of the Bridals we took of Megan up in Austin.

Wedding – Megan & Patrick (Austin)

I have known Megan since about 2002-ish when we used to meet up randomly on 6th street to see our mutal friends in a band. She was always so fun to hang out with and could cheer up any room. So needless to say I was overly excited when Megan called to say she was engaged and asked me to shoot her wedding!

We did Megan & Patricks Engagment session around Austin last September and had a blast!

A couple of weeks ago I met up with Megan and her friend Jacq to shoot the bridals. We had a blast and laughed the whole time!

Last Saturday the day finally came for the wedding.

Megan & Patrick had a few specials surprises for everyone during the ceremony. One of the BM’s sung a song in German and English that was sung at Megan’s parents wedding by her grandmother. Then as the song for their first dance, Megan & Patrick actually went to a studio and recorded their own song! They are so good that I didn’t even realize it was them until afterwords. Then it made sense why they were singing it to each other during the dance. You guys ROCK!!!!

Lastly, little did Patrick know that Megan had been sneaky and secured a yellow convertible corvette as their get-away vehicle! We had the crowd move outside and block the view of the vette. Then we had Patrick say… “Moooove that crowd!” The look on his face when he saw the car was priceless. He was stunned and amazed and elated! GREAT job Megan!

I wish years of happiness to you two!

E-Session – Rebekah & Zack (Austin)

Rebekah saw the photos I took for a mutual friends engagement session a few months back and called me up to see if I would do hers. OF COURSE I will!

The session was cut shorter that I usually like due to my not leaving myself 3 hours to get the 90 miles up to Austin on a Sunday evening… silly me! Sometimes I-35 traffic is sooooo baffling! lol

We met up at Mayfield Park in Austin. Yep – the place with all the beautiful peacocks. Well – I thought they were beautiful (albeit loud!).. poor Rebekah just does not like them. We had to keep watch out for them – and they were all out. I think it was feeding time.

All in All I think even with the limitations we got some great photos of this awesome couple!

Congrats on yalls wedding!

I’ve known Megan for several years and was so excited when she called to say that she was engaged and wanted me to shoot their engagement photos and wedding in March 09!

My AWESOME 2nd shooter Eric and I drove up to Austin Sunday Morning and picked up the adorable couple. Our first stop was to the campus of the University of Texas and Bass Hall. They wanted some kind of photos from that area since that was were they first ‘met’ back in junior high! We were dissappointed to find it closed off and under major renovation, but managed to get some good shots there.

From there we headed over to have some migas for breakfast at Texas Chili Parlor! yum!

Then it was a quick outfit change in the Jeep and a short walk over to the Texas State Capitol for some more poses. We didn’t stay too long – lots of tourists!

Then one more outfit change while we drove over to Zilker Botanical Gardens.

After several hours of shooting, laughing, and sharing stories we dropped them back off at their apartment and headed back to San Antonio knowing we had a fun day and captured some great shots for the happy couple!
