Venue: The Vista on Seward Hill, Austin TX

A few detail shots, many from the fabulous Kristy.


The venue was absolutely beautiful.


And now for a brand new experimental idea… a video montage. This is a surprise to Ben, Jessica and even a little bit of a surprise to myself. I have wanted to use the video features of the Mark ii for a while, and with a bit of film class from Baylor under my belt I have been missing editing video, so at Ben and Jessica’s wedding I decided to make the plunge and just try it out. I’m not sure exactly how I will be incorporating this into my services, but I had a lot of fun making it. I am no videographer, but it was fun and I would love to do this for all of my weddings some day!

Congratulations Danny, you will be an excellent President!
I am having a blast figuring out my new acquisition. It’s actually more complicated than I had anticipated. Luckily I have a workshop coming up soon in which I am hoping to unload a list full of questions, the latest of which is “How the heck do you use a tilt shift”, although I think I’m starting to get the hang of it. I have been really overwhelmed lately with “business” and I am REALLY looking forward to attending this workshop and looking at a lot of things. Things like, am I running a smart business? Do I actually take good pictures? How can I improve them? and most of all, I am ready to fall in love with photography again. After a wedding every weekend and a handful of sessions scattered in between, my art seems to have turned more into a chore. Today I really enjoyed just playing around with my new lens. I remember what it was like to start shooting manual, and what it was like when I finally figured out how to mask things in photoshop–it was so fun discovering! Now, I feel like the romance is gone.. So, in a month I will be attending
