5-21-09 Brides and their Mom's

I have been putting a collection of work together based on the undeniable connection between brides and their mothers. All of these wedding were shot right here in Austin. Please enjoy.

5-21-09 Trip to Dallas

This weekend our family is packing it in and traveling to Dallas. My sister and I promised to swap every other month after we had our babies so our babies and we would know each others kids. It's been proving to be pretty difficult to leave on the weekends. So far this year, we were in Dallas in February and my sister's family came here in March, so we are little behind with our visits.

So we are going to Dallas to see my sister's family, my mom and my dad + step-mom, if they're around. 

Our plan was to go to Dallas this weekend anyway on Saturday and Sunday, the we discovered we could pull a 4 day weekend so we opted to go for Friday and Saturday and grab a piece of this Memorial Day. Then I got a call the other day from Zoom, Zoom Magazine in Canada and they have asked me to cover the "Mazda Miata" festival in Grapevine and Fort Worth on Sunday.  I'm strangely excited it's not really the kind of thing I'd be into but, we get to go on the race track, Texas Motor Speedway. We'll get to see some "fun races" since I'm told real races would be too much of a liability, bet I can't tell the difference ;)

That's the plan for the weekend. I'm sure we'll have a bazillion pictures to share after.

Family this time we have to let Zoom Zoom publish first. I just love saying it, like the commercial Zoom, Zoom, Zoom!

until next time.

5-18-09 Trysha in town

yesterday our friend Trysha was in town from New York. She came to San Antonio for a friends wedding and we met up with her on Sunday post wedding. She was a wee under the weather but we had a great time walking the River Walk and taking in a beer here -n- there. The weather was perfect. a gloriously beautiful day. 

Sadly though, we still couldn't shoot Christina and Matt. We are synchronizing our watches, soon we should be able to find a time to reschedule.

We are gearing up for the bridal extravaganza and we are having some sample books made for our office so we picked 3 books to try out. 

For our grande collection we are considering this:

And for our venti collection, this:

We certainly would love to hear your opinion, what do you think, which would you rather have?

Talk to you soon.

We were supposed to shoot Christina and Matt at Laguna Gloria today but we have been rained out. What a bummer, I have been looking forward to meeting these guys for some time.

Hopefully tomorrow.

5-14-09 Thoughts from Jamie and Shaun

Jamie was so excited about our work that she left messages every so often and full review I can't even see on the knot. I imagine it's pretty good based on her thoughts in several emails.

Jamie and Shaun's wedding was held at the Umlauf Sculpture Garden, Austin on March 7, 2009

March 10 - "omg. We're adorable. Love them!"

March 12 - "I am so excited to see the rest of the pictures! These are wonderful."

March 23 - "Everyone loved you guys and have been so impressed!"

April 3 - "We LOVE them. You all did awesome."

March 10th and 12th were responses to our quick turnaround to the our blog and April 3rd was a week old response to them receiving their discs. We promise final files in 1 month but usually get them to our clients in 2-3 weeks. So it's fun and exciting to get pictures so quickly.

We appreciate all of our clients and with Jamie and Shaun there is no exception. They were cute as a button and comfortable.

We love you guys too. Congratulations! Best of Luck in your new life together.
