Spring Engagement Session at Laguna Gloria

Portraits

One of the things I love most about engagement sessions is how much they set the tone for the wedding day. It’s a chance to slow down, connect, and get comfortable in front of the camera long before the celebration begins. By the time the wedding arrives, my couples already know what it feels like […]

Private Tented Wedding Reception in Upstate New York

Weddings

Renick and Louie approached their wedding with intention from the very beginning. They chose to honor their life in Austin with an intimate ceremony, then host a larger, design-driven reception months later at Louie’s family estate in New York. Two celebrations. Two different experiences. One beautifully cohesive vision. As a destination wedding photographer, I love when […]

Before heading to Mexico for their destination wedding, Marcella and Cooper chose to celebrate their engagement with a session at Commodore Perry Estate in Austin, Texas, the place they originally planned to be married.

Weddings

From Austin to Mexico, I’ve photographed weddings of every scale. But Renick and Louie’s Four Seasons Austin wedding was a masterclass in quiet luxury and intentional design. Seventeen people, one beloved dog, and a palpable sense of presence that filled every moment. Renick and Louie will celebrate again with a larger gathering in Buffalo, New […]

Weddings

Some venues have the ability to transport you the moment you step through the gates, and Commodore Perry Estate in Austin, Texas, is one of them. Even though it’s right in the middle of downtown Austin, you instantly feel transported, like you’ve slipped away to a European villa surrounded by manicured gardens and timeless architecture. […]

Weddings

Some weddings are just next-level. The kind that makes your jaw drop the moment you walk in, and then leaves you with a full heart by the end of the night. Jack and Olivia’s wedding at the Austin Proper Hotel was exactly that. A design-forward, emotionally rich, guest-centered celebration that felt every bit as fun […]

Weddings

As a wedding photographer, one of my favorite things to photograph are multi-event weddings. Especially when it fuses two cultures together. I’m always honored to capture multicultural celebrations that embrace heritage, personal style, and deep-rooted connection. And that is exactly what I got to experience with Priya and Jake’s wedding at The Junior League Houston […]
