Wedding Photography Based in Austin, Texas
Sara and Morgan were married midday at the Fort Worth Botanic Gardens. The couple then had BBQ and a quick break to get ready for the reception in downtown Fort Worth. Overall, I’d say everyone had an amazing time including me and my second shooter Mike. Congratulations, Sara and Morgan!
 
Allison and Ty were so great to work with. The lovely couple were married at The Allan House in downtown Austin on a gorgeous day during the fall. The couple along with most of the wedding party are originally from the panhandle of Texas thus the wedding details (including the bride’s Converse sneakers) were all Texas Tech red. There was even a pedicab at the end! Mike and I felt right at home photographing the special day. Congratulations to Allison and Ty!
Earlier this year I started a photography project called Femme et vélo with my second shooter Mike Andrick. FEV is essentially a fashion editorial project that brings together women and bicycles. The idea for the project came about when Mike and I were discussing old photographs we had seen of Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn on bikes and thought how great it would be to recreate similar moments with models and vintage bicycles. We ended up meeting Shari who signed on as our wonderfully talented stylist. Without her I feel this project would have ended after only a few shoots. Shari owns a beautiful vintage clothing store called Charm School Vintage on Cesar Chavez. If you live in Austin, you should definitely check it out.
As for working on this project, I’m excited to be learning about a different approach and style to photography while having the opportunity to use several film cameras I’ve acquired over the past year including a Mamiya C330 and a Canon AE-1. Together we’ve been kicked out of a golf course and abandoned parking lot, I ripped a good pair of jeans hopping over fences, and we’ve had a couple of fantastic post-photo shoot soirees together. And it’s all been incredibly fun! This prompted me to post a collection of photos I’ve taken to celebrate what we’ve accomplished so far together. Don’t forget to check out Mike’s photos as well on the tumblr site!
While I was finishing my job as a second shooter for Lauren McGlynn and starting my own wedding photography business, I knew it was time to find a reliable second shooter for myself. I asked Lauren who she would recommend for the position and the first person she named was Mike Andrick.
After meeting Mike for a drink in Hyde Park, we both realized we had much in common besides the obvious love for photography. When we finally did begin to work together, I felt our photographic styles complimented each other nicely. It was perfect really. At times we even communicate by only using a series of nods and winks, and I love that.
That is the main reason I feature Mike on all of my packages. I know that the photos we both take during a wedding will work well together and create a seamless narrative of a couple’s wedding day.

This is me hard at work during the last wedding Mike and I shot together (Photo taken by Mike Andrick). I definitely made use of the disposable cameras left on the tables by the guests during the reception. I guess I’ll never know how they turned out. Wedding photos coming soon, y’all!
