Looking forward to the rest of their lives together
Have you ever seen a love so strong and intense you can feel the crackle of sparks in the air? Have you seen a couple self-assured in their commitment to each that the rest of the world fades away. Have you met Kara and Joe Thorne? The ceremony to join this couple as one is a mere announcement to the universe that here stands two people sharing one soul. Look at the photos, look at the spark in their eyes, look at the love they surround themselves with.

Small Diploma, Big Work
Most of our Senior Portraits are done when graduating from high school. Heather didn’t have good high school portraits and figured when graduating with a Master’s Degree from Texas State was a great opportunity to document this phase of her life. We spent the first part with Heather and her awesome blue eyed dog Remi at Rio Vista Park throwing the soggy ball around and diving in the water.

Sunny Folklorico
Wendy and I have been planning her Senior Portraits since last year when we photographed her sister Haide’s. Wendy said she is more adventuresome than big sister and was she ever. We traipsed up a rickety staircase with gaping holes while she wore a floor length evening gown and played the violin. Then we went to Lake Pflugerville where she donned her Folklorico dance costumes in front of about 100 people. She danced in and out of the water with the sun setting until she could dance no more. And I just love the photos! Here are a few more.

First Dance as Husband and Wife
I have a hard time writing this post to describe Audrey & Mack’s wedding in words for those not in attendance. We could all clearly see the love in their eyes for one another. We could hear the pastor’s words in his sermon describing their relationship. We also got to see the largest gag bouquet thrown to the single ladies, all the single ladies. Jazz hands were synonymous with us raising a camera to our eye no matter the situation. We even got a little fist pumping, Arsenio Hall-style during the formals. Each wedding we cover is truly a reflection of the couple and Audrey & Mack are no different. They are a couple deeply in love of all aspects of each other. We hope we were able to capture all of the facets of Audrey & Mack. See Audrey’s Bridal Portraits and their Engagement photos for further proof.

Sun Soaked Bride
We finally get to share Alyssa’s Bridal Portraits! Been holding off on this post since early January. We ventured to the McNay Art Museum in San Antonio for their varied grounds and scenery. The place was just amazing to photograph at because we never had to move more than 100 yards for all of our photographs. Places like the McNay are great for stimulating the senses with Contemporary Artwork around the grounds.
We have to thank Alyssa and Kevin’s Moms for being great assistants and for Leena at Singar Studios for her excellent makeup work. (more…)

The Gazebo at the Gardens of Old Town Helotes
If real estate is all about location, location and location, then modern wedding ceremonies are all about details, details and more details. Amy and Alan‘s wedding is full of personalized details highlighting the whimsy and creative of the hitching couple. From a thumbprinted tree sign-in-book to the wildflowers in colored glass vases the entire venue of The Garden at Old Town Helotes whispered “Amy and Alan”. And of course the Super Mario and Princess Peach topped wedding cake.
We had such a great time joking with the family and photographing during a picture perfect early spring day. We hope your enjoy the preview photographs. Make sure and tell Amy and Alan how beautiful they look in the comment section.

Bride and Stained Glass
I have had the distinct pleasure of watching Kevin grow up for his entire life. Alyssa I have known for a shorter period of time but she is no less sweet in my heart. And we had a rollicking time photographing their wedding this weekend. You might remember this couple as one of our underwater engagement sessions from this Summer. While they are laying on a beach somewhere in the Caribbean enjoying warmer waters, we are sharing a preview of their wedding photographs.
The service was held at St. Mark the Evangelist Catholic Church and the reception at the Red Oak Ballroom. Our second shooter for this and all of March’s weddings is Andrew Fritz. (more…)

Cover for Album
We had the opportunity to photograph the band Far From Since When (website | youtube channel | facebook page) a few weeks back in a killer location somewhere near Boerne, Texas. The shoot was for the cover art and the inside ledes of their upcoming EP, “To Feel”, as well as for their new website and promotional materials. The project was great for me because Candice, the lead singer, had a strong visual vision. The collaboration in phone calls and emails allowed us to produce what I feel is very strong imagery.
