Stephanie’s Bridals, DunVegan Keep in austin, texas

Stephanies Bridals, DunVegan Keep in austin, texas
We were off to Dun Vegan Keep again today. I loved the weather today, though, because it was FINALLY BELOW 90 DEGREES! We took out another lovely bride who is getting married in a couple of weeks.

Stephanie (bridal cameo above) is a school teacher and she’s another blonde beauty! Her aunt and best friend came, and they helped out a lot. It was a lot of fun, because Stephanie is a good friend of ours, which will make this wedding that much more special!

Her blue eyes really sparkled, and I was really glad that we were able to show them off. Now that I think about it, I think all of our brides for the rest of the year are blondes. Most have deep blue eyes, except for a couple of them. The others have brown eyes, which can sparkle just as much with the right sunlight.

We’re just getting back from the Austin Wedding Guide Bridal Extravaganza Show. It was a lot of work, but a lot of fun. We simplified our booth quite a bit, and it really paid off when assembling it. We talked for 6 hours with so many brides, and it was exciting to see some folks who had heard about us before the show. It was great that we also had some of our recent brides show off the album and bridal portraits, too (thanks to Christy, Byron and Ashley). Now, it’s off to meeting with some of those we talked too!

We offered a complimentary Fashion-Bridal session as a Grand-Prize at the show, and Amy Winkler of Austin, Texas won. Congratulations!

We also want to throw a BIG thanks to Kabloom for offering the beautiful flowers in our booth, too. They did an awesome job of matching the colors of our booth.If you need some floral work done, call Scott Yeager at Kabloom and he will definitely help you out. He also did the floral work for a couple of weddings this year that we performed, and the flowers were always colorful, fresh and big!

We rented our linens, table and chairs from George at Premier Rentals. They always do a great job for us and are always dependable.

Jessica’s Bridal, DunVegan Keep in austin, texas

We took Jessica out yesterday for a LOVELY bridal session at Dun Vegan Keep. The place was awesome, but a bit on the warm/humid side. When is it EVER going to cool down in Austin? It was 98 degrees when we started, and she was a real trooper to withstand the heat. Anyway, her wedding is coming up in a month. Her dress was so beautiful and I know her groom will be ecstatic to see her in it.

It was great that her mom came along, too. Weddings are all about family, and this is definitely a family experience to share.

Just been accepted into WPJA!
I am so excited! On my very first try, I got accepted into WPJA (Wedding Photojournalist Association). It’s an awesome group of photographers who are some of the most elite wedding photojournalists in America. I want to thank all of my previous couples and models for making this happen! Check the website out because they have some awesome photography. They have many photography contests, too, so maybe this will allow me to enter some more contests. Check out the site at www.wpja.com.

I’ve also been tinkering around with joining WPPI (Wedding and Portrait Photographers International) after receiving a special invitation to attend last year’s convention in Las Vegas thanks to Bambi Cantrell. I met her again at PPA’s Imaging USA last year in Austin, Texas, and I do owe a quite a bit of my style to her. I’m just not really good at selecting images for competition. We just changed our booth for our upcoming bridal show for austinweddings.com and it took me 3 months just for that! It’s not that I am not indecisive, but I just want the best work out there to show off my clients.

I know, I know.. I have been a bad boy and I haven’t been blogging. I’ve just been too busy! This takes a lot of discipline to keep up, too! Anyway, we just photographed an AWESOME and very emotional wedding for Megan and Michael’s at the Royal Street Provision Bed and Breakfast in Salado. It was a bit humid, but no rain! We had a fun bridal session and engagement session, and 1 of her bridals will be on the website soon. Anyway, here’s a collage of some of the images.
