I really enjoyed this wedding! Despite the complaints of “freezing weather” from guests (apparently anything under 50 is freezing in Miami) the day was pretty much perfect. I don’t say this often - this is a wedding I will never forget. It was a day filled with friendship and charm. Thank you Fran and Jason! Promise I’ll post more photos when I get back to Austin.

Destination Wedding : Miami

We are in Miami for a destination wedding. The weather is AMAZING and we’ve had lots of yummy Cuban Food. Not to mention the SHOPPING! Our hotel is sort of … creepy… but it is cheap and more or less clean. After we shoot this wedding I’m off to Vegas for WPPI the big photo convention. Too much travel.

It is finally time for me to get some of the photos off my harddrive and onto my wall. While researching how to make a photo wall I came across some inspiring images. I also discovered two sets of frames that come with templates! The more expensive one is by The Picture Wall Company ($350). The frames look much nicer than the Target alternative ($129), but I must admit that if I do wimp out on putting together my own collection I’ll be purchasing the alternative.

Oh. I really want one of these for the studio. The shades are made from woven together film strips. I just LOVE how they look. I photographed the artist who designed these a while back, but I had no idea he makes these AMAZING lamp shades. Oh. Drooooooool. Wonder if he would make one from old wedding movies for me. Check out more of his work at ismism.com . Btw these awesome photso are not by me….

Event : PRA Austin Grand Opening

Event : Austin PRA Launch Party

Music : Tunes Across Texas

It was a pleasure to photograph the launch of PRA Destination Management in Austin. PRA provides event solution for groups large and small. They help with arranging details ranging from transportation to event photography and everything in between.

On a side note - the DJ, Jim, is one of my favorites in town. I accidentally unplugged his speakers during a wedding reception and he was VERY professional about the whole situation. He just smiled and fixed the (very embarrassing) problem.
