The Women of TRE - Natalie, Hannah, Kara, Sarah, Juliane and Dacia
The Team Rogue Elite women are an awesome bunch who make sacrifices to careers, family and friends everyday to chase the dream of becoming an Olympic Athlete. I support them with my photography. If you are interested, you can visit their website to support them as well.
The gals from TRE have needed updated marketing and promotional material, and we finally had time in all of our schedules to get together at Pure Austin Quarry Lake. The theme was tough, hard working runners who support each other through a team atmosphere. That meant group type workouts, suffering together, supporting each other, and rocking their Adidas gear.

Run into the Light
Had the opportunity to photograph the 2012 Olympic Marathon Trials for Team Rogue Elite in Houston today. A wonderful chance to see TRE members Allison Macsas and Scott MacPherson charge through the three loop course. The Race Committee did a fantastic job of making the race accessible to spectators and for having a well informed and courteous volunteer staff.

A Texas Gal gets married
David and Cindy got married last night at the beautiful Green Pastures. A beautiful celebration and ceremony of two families becoming one family. Laughter, especially Cindy’s, could be heard all night throughout the halls of the historic restaurant. The ceremony itself was a blending of two faith’s with a Jewish Rabbi and a Presbyterian Minister alternating passages and traditions.
Thanks to Daniel at D&H Stage Lighting for providing us with enough lumens to document the ceremony. The bride and bridesmaids look as lovely as they do in part to Sally the Makeup Artist from Aveda.

Goin' Home
Just finished up with an amazing bridal session, and had to get onto editing out a sneak peak so that I can share with everyone! We photographed Audrey in her beautifully scalloped dress at her parent’s farm in Elgin, Texas. We were lucky to have decent weather and amazing cloud formations to work with, especially after having to push the shoot back a day for inclement weather.
Audrey was great in front of the camera, she is my kind of quirky (see last photo), tall, graceful, gorgeous, and willing to listen. I realize no one is reading these words because they are too busy staring at her!
Thanks to Pinup Salon for the Makeup work, and thanks to Juliane for assisting me today.

Is this your glass slipper?
Midnight nears with a glass slipper in hand. Is this yours my darling? The dance we danced was sweet and true.
We can’t be seen together, I am not who you think.
My love?
I must away, please do not follow
The slipper fits!
My love, midnight nears

So much love and energy in the air, not to mention an impending honeymoon departure to New Zealand, that I just had to get a next day preview of my favorites from Anna & Anil’s Wedding Day. We were there for Anil’s Ganesh Puja with a very nice Indian lunch all the way through the bubbles that Anna and Anil ran through with their intrepid guests. We loved the couples speeches. One of our photographers might have cried a little bit (yes, me). The family, the dancing, the hugs, the great details, and outpouring of love from everyone in attendance made for a super special day.
A quick shout out to Kirra and her crew at DNA Events for the any-hour-of-the-day updates and information. And we do have photographic proof of your dancing, uh, skills.
The second big thanks goes to Leena Bajaj at Singar Studios for her Henna detail work, 2! Bridal looks and for the fact that she brought a double sided reflector to the ceremony. Our photographer friends will appreciate that nugget.
Here is my stronger suit, storytelling with photos from the beginning to the end. (more…)

1950's Housewives and the "Man" they all love
If you aren’t laughing after the first image, you should probably just go ahead and stop reading now. This shoot was all about fun in the kitchen with a little mischief and a little Lucy on too much Vitameatavegimen. The kitchen was small but the hair was huge!

7 Turtles a-leapping
Hello from Kona, Hawaii where we are covering the start of the Ultraman World Championships. The shots are taken from the grounds of the awesome host hotel, The Outrigger, and are meant to convey a warm holiday spirit.
We have plenty to be thankful of here at AzulOx Photography. We could not do what we love to do day by day without our friends, family, loved ones and our amazing clients that allow us to follow our dreams.
Thank you one and all from the bottom of our hearts.
Now enjoy some scenic eye candy.

Ready and Waiting before the Ceremony
So excited to see the nuptials of Collin & Amy this past weekend in Seguin, Texas. The wedding and reception was held at the historic Weinert House and the above photo was taken in the formal dining room. So many cool little nooks and crannies to play with, and apparently it is haunted too….

Evening Sun at Zilker
I know what you are thinking, haven’t we seen this couples engagement photos. Yes and No, we have posted the first part
when they went underwater for me. These are the “official” versions sure to please the happy couple and their families.
Our general plan was to take a mini-tour of Austin to show off the city for their families which both live out of state. We started at Lou Neff Point on the trail to get some skyline in our photos. And then spun around to photograph in Zilker Park proper which has special meaning because that is where Joe proposed to Kara!
Skyline and Springs, just watch out for attacking Geese!
We proceeded to cruise around town looking for a more “urban” scene trying to capture a different feel. We saw this alleyway and just had to shoot there. Joe is saying that a fight scene in Machete happened here and that somehow led to a discussion on Jessica Alba’s acting skills. Kara’s sister Laura helped me with a snooted light on a stick to really highlight the romance in the alley.
Alleyway Romance
We finished off with a little time spent in front of the Capitol. We only had to wait a few minutes before the lights came on to shine onto the building and a perfect gust of wind gives us the Superman-tie curl that you see below. Also, Kara has some calves, just saying. I guess that is what happens when you train as hard as this couple does. You look awesome all the time!
Current Superheroes/Future Senators?
Stay tuned, we have a special side project from this shoot that I think yall will dig.
