3.25.10 Boggy Creek Farm

Yesterday I wrapped up Tricia + Jonathan's wedding At  Mansion at Judges Hill, then I ran down to Kyle for the Weddings Unveiled Event. It was aquite a nice turn out considering the weather and it was a pleasure to meet all of the couples there. Thanks for coming out.

Today I am editing an editorial job for Organic Gardening Magazine that is not going to run until next year, they have to wait until the items photographed are back in season again. So I will not be able to post those until then. I can tell you I went to the East Side Cafe to do the gardening picks, wow, I was so inspired I decided to do the bulk of my produce shopping at local CSAs and farmers sales in the area, primarily Boggy Creek Farms. Last Wednesday during spring break I took my good friend and her 2 kids over there. It's satisfying telling your kids "This morning the earth grew this (enter vegetable of choice here) and someone picked it, cleaned it, I will cook and tonight you will eat it." Amazing. It feels so good to know exactly where our food comes from. Plus until 1 week ago I had never once eaten a mustard green and I wasn't a huge fan of beets, I am now. I LOVE them, they are that much better coming direct from the garden. Boggy Creek has a sale every Wednesday and Saturday, there are also chickens to look at. Wednesdays seem to be good kid parent bonding time.

Tricia + Jonathan Married!

Tricia + Jonathan's nuptials were graciously hosted at the Mansion at Judges Hill and fit for royalty. I have been a little obsessed with my Vintage Kennedy family portraits and I think you might see that in the lead shots here. The service was lovely and location was great but that party, THAT PARTY!!! wow! those guys can dance their little bums off! and really, really good dancing going on. I requested dance lessons after the wedding. I was politely blown off. Does that mean no? 
Please enjoy the shots from their wedding and as always there are plenty more on facebook.
Maybe this will get Tricia to join ;)
Thanks for looking.

3.9.10 Linsey + Marcos

Linsey is a leasing agent in an apartment complex in North Austin. She first met Marcus 3 years ago when she leased him his apartment. How romantic. On their first date, she indulged in beers while he delicately partook of margaritas and it's been love ever since. They plan to marry in September and I couldn't be happier for them. They are wonderful together, they make you happy just spending time in their presence. Good luck with the rest of your planning and your big move you have coming. See you soon.

2.28.10 Brandi + Lee Married

Barr Mansion
Brandi + Lee, I am so bummed it's done. I am going to miss them so much. WE talked so much through their entire engagement. Brandi bounced ideas my way a lot and it was fun being a quiet voice in the background. I can claim credit for any of the creativity they expressed in their wedding details but I can say they looked exactly how they said they were going to look. It was so thrilling being there and seeing all of those amazing ideas take actual shape. Beautiful job you guys. You might remember Brandi and Lee from their engagement session. See how amazing they are?!
Thank you guys for everything, it was an honor to share your day with you.
All the very best, we'll miss you.

3.8.10 Marie + Sean Engaged!

Marie is our intern/3rd photographer we have been working with this year, and we LOVE her. She is a ball of energy and so positive, it's magnetic. She met her fiance Sean on a plane flying from some small town in MI to another, a 45 minute flight. At the end of the flight they walked a little, had some lunch and hoped that their next flights were delayed, but they weren't. Sean took Marie's email address and dutifully emailed the minute he exited his second flight. She was so thrilled, and for 3 years the couple met back in forth in their requisite home-towns, until it was time for Sean to deploy. She moved to South Carolina to continue her education in Library Science where his "home base" would be. Then discovered Library Science just wasn't her bag so with a fully planned wedding scheduled for November of 2010 in SC, she moved to Austin to try her hand at wedding photography. Sean, on his half way point leave, came to visit with her here and now both are in love with the each other AND Austin. His time was limited, the weather was wishy-washy and our schedules barely matched up. We were finally able to make it work and here are our results.
Thank you both so much for you time and trust. I had a great time working with you.
Congratulations to you both and Sean be safe, we'll see you in about 8 months.
As always you can see more on facebook.
