The Clinchard Wedding, Austin Wedding Photographer

Oh how I love Midlanders...Rob and Lesley got married this weekend at the University Catholic Center on campus. They looked gorgeous and we got to do a session together before the wedding....which is my FAVORITE thing to do. I feel like it relaxes the couple and you can really capture true beauty and love from them. They were too adorable and we were so excited they chose us to capture their "I Do's". Congrats on everything you two! Many more to come...

A TImeless Affair, Austin Wedding Photography

Meet Mr. & Mrs. Lawson. Trey and Sabrina are too stinkin cute together and you just always know you're going to have a great time when you're around them....so I just knew their wedding wouldn't be any different. It was held at this beautiful house out near Steiner Ranch in Austin, TX and despite the dreary weather all morning the rain held out so they could have the perfect outdoor wedding. YAY. Behold fun and fabulous photos :) Love you kiddos. I can't believe you're married!

Poth Rehearsal Dinner

Hey blogger family. It's Amy and it's my turn to tell you all about a little shoot I did...my first "solo" gig without April. Now most of the time I will tell you that April and I do EVERYTHING together but there are those few times that we do things on our own. Our friends Poppy and Wes, you all know them to be the oh so fabulous couple we did engagements for and were blogged about by greylikesweddings, were married a couple of weekends ago. April was a bridesmaid and so Poppy asked me to tag along and represent TWINty Photography at the dinner rehearsal. I'm so excited I got to be part of such a special day for them. There were so many cute pics I decided to just make one big collage. I love you guys....drumroll please!!!

We've been BLOGGED!

SUPRISE! Mr. & Mrs. Ketter, Austin Wedding Photographer

O....M....G

My face is still hurting from smiling sooooo much on Friday night. Even Saturday thinking back to what had just happened was just so surreal and exciting I couldn't stop smiling.

Friday, September 11th, 2009, what should have been the day one of my best friends was going to get proposed to and surprised with an engagement party out at the beautiful Horseshoe Bay Marriott Resort, turned into a Surprise WEDDING....that fooled all of us. IT WAS AWESOME!

Let's see where to begin. Back in May JR (the groom) contacted us to fill us in on his plans to propose bc he wanted to make sure we were there to photograph it. They kept talking about eloping so he wanted to make sure friends and family got to be at something so the planning for the surprise engagement party started. Meredith is the biggest SNOOP and always knows everything it seems so everyone kept this hush hush over the summer so that she can be surprised for once in her life....hahaha it's just too funny to think back about all the conversations and things that were said now as to hints that could've given it away. I mean she even had me going one night thinking she was tired of waiting for him to pop the question so she was going to do it that night....she was probably rolling over in her chair listening to me squirm and try to give reasons why she should wait and let him have that moment. :) Plus I did an engagement session for her (calling it a lifestyle session) thinking she's just nuts and wants to be prepared for when it comes...of course in my mind I'm thinking, oh perfect I'll have pics for them at the party. LORD.

Anywho, Friday we pull up and we've had our suspicions about something going on due to little things here and there but still we weren't sure exactly what it was going to be....Soooo, Amy and I get there when we were told and we walk in and were ushered to this room with big grand doors that is just screaming "a big surprise lies behind these doors"! Then the doors slowly open and there hanging in the corner is a GORGEOUS ivory wedding gown and our beautiful blonde friend in all smiles saying "Surprise...I'm getting married". Ahhhhhhhh, from then on I literally could not stop smiling. We were told we were bridesmaids, singers and photographers for the night....hahah. Love it!

Only their parents and a couple of friends, who helped execute the event, knew about it and the rest of the bridesmaids and groomsmen were told one by one when everyone arrived in the bar at 6:00. Then shortly after, the rest of the party was ushered into the ceremony area where a candlelit isle and black and white modern programs lie on the chairs. The reactions were priceless from the crowd and in walks her step-dad down the isle who stopped at the front and turned around. (He got ordained online so that he could marry the couple and be an integral part of her day as well as her father.)

Amy, myself and Carmen (another bridesmaid) start singing and in comes the most gorgeous bride you've ever seen. (I might be biased but hey she was stunning!). Then the rest was history. They were sooooo excited to finally have their secret out with their best friends and closest family members.

Anywho, I am all about surprise weddings or surprise proposals so if anyone is looking for a photographer...I'm your gal! :) Also Mrs. Sunny Jensen at Alpine Florists did an AMAZING job coordinating the decor and the floral arrangements that I'm sure I'll show really soon. Here's a quick teaser of our sweet Mrs. Ketter for those of you girls who are dying to see what she wore!

We love you guys and Congratulations!

Patty & Chris Hamilton, Austin Wedding Photographer

I've been wanting to blog this wedding ALL week but I have been one little busy bee and time just slipped away and now it's Thursday night at practically midnight and I just got home from our gig at the Tiniest bar (which was awesome...thanks to those who came out) and thought...now is the perfect time! So Miss Patty here are some teasers for you my dear....I can't wait for us to sort through the rest for the BOOK...Ahhhhh happiness!

Patty and Chris got married this past Saturday at the University Christian Church on campus. Even with my aggie blood that runs through these veins, I loved UT campus. It was gorgeous and just being there made me want to be back in school again....(sigh).

I've been very excited becuase I have my first Austin Wedding this coming weekend for an old classmate of mine on campus so I'm finally sowing some Austin roots...or maybe just planting some seeds....whatev!

Anywho, check out the new Ad going into the Austin Statesman Sept 4th (PLUG)! Please go and check it out. Everyone buy a paper and look in the GLOSSY section under Life. The ad will be in full color and featuring some of you! Yea~

Thanks to everyone for the ongoing business and keep spreading the word!!!! New pics to come shortly from this past weekend.

June and Carl, Austin Wedding Photographer

They sound like that country love song "Johnny and June" and are just as cute as a button! June was a former Assistant Principal in Katy, TX at my momma's school and I know my mom is going to miss her, as well as the rest of the Rhoads crew but she's now a new Principal in the Dallas area. WOOHOO, way to go Junebug!

Let's see, this past January, I believe, Carl made a surprise visit to Katy to propose over the morning announcements at the elementary school where June worked and Amy and I had the privilege to film and photo the whole thing...it's was just way to precious to describe so hopefully I can upload the video to show you guys. They got married in Arlington this past weekend and at this adorable place called Green Oaks. Everyone looks lovely and can I just say how much I LOVE day weddings!!! Congrats you two! Thanks for letting us be a part of your day!

Carl's Granny is the life of the party! This is one of my favorite pictures that I feel expresses real true happiness! Makes me smile.



The first time they met was at the Frio River last summer and what a memorable moment it was for the both of them...they played the same song they met to as their first dance.
