If you’re wondering why this corner of the interwebs has been quiet for a few months, it’s because I married my best friend Anne last month! And we’ve been on an extended honeymoon adventure in Thailand and Indonesia!
The wedding day was perfect. It just went by way too quickly. But even when all the details you’ve been thinking about don’t come together, it’s really all about the person standing next to you. And I feel immensely lucky to have found my wonderful wife. The theme of our ceremony was “extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence”, a guiding principle popularized by the late great Carl Sagan. We’re looking forward to a life of extraordinary evidence together.
Gigantor thanks to our family and friends for everything, to our wonderful photojournalists and friends Katie Hayes Luke and Nathaniel Wilder, our new friend and amazing caterer and decorator Meg of Spoon & Co, our neighbor and friend and officiant Nam, Herb and the wonderful location of Mercury Hall, our great DJ Ross, and the many talented indie wedding designers of Wedzu that we used for decorations and rings. And thank you to all my past and future clients for not scaring me away from weddings! Seriously, the weddings that I have documented have been some of my most rewarding and inspiring work. I’m humbled and grateful to witness and photograph so many “best days” of peoples lives in Austin and around the globe, and I’m looking forward to the many ahead in 2011.

Susan and Joshua had a beautiful, simple, green wedding at the Inn at Wild Rose Hall outside of Austin.
If lightning struck your wedding venue 2 weeks before your big day, it could put a damper on things. Not for Joshua and Jennifer.
The Barr Mansion’s beautiful ballroom was hit and destroyed during a massive Texas thunderstorm. Fortunately the original historic building was left untouched.
And the wonderful people at Barr Mansion were quick to assemble the best reception tent you’ve ever seen, while the rebuilding of the ballroom begins.
The day turned out to be perfect for an early morning outdoor ceremony.
Thanks to Jen and Josh for their relaxed and graceful approach to the day, and the great ideas for some vintage and stiff posed photos (which worked perfectly in the location and with their vintage attire).
And thanks to Katie Luke for the 2nd set of eyes and some of these wonderful photos below:
Elise and Tom were married on the Pacific coast last week, at the idyllic Palos Verdes Country Club.

Susan and Joshua got married yesterday at The Inn at Wild Rose Hall and we decided to implement the new photo booth setup. It was a great hit for everyone aged baby to great-great-grandmother. Here are some of my favorite first selects from the photo booth. More to come from Susan and Joshua’s wedding shortly.
Here’s an excited young guy with the custom-made Big Red Button. The booth can be controlled by Brett, a 2nd photographer, and/or anybody with The Big Red Button!
