Weddings

Just an hour outside Austin, Horseshoe Bay Resort is tucked into the Texas Hill Country along the shores of Lake LBJ. With its water views and sprawling lawns, it feels like a getaway, while still being close to the city. For Morgan and Carson, it was more than just a beautiful venue. It was the […]

A Citrus-Kissed Destination Wedding at Rosewood Mayakoba

Weddings

Marcella and Cooper didn’t set out to plan a destination wedding for the sake of it. Mexico was already part of their story. Childhood memories, family roots, and a shared love for the ocean made it feel inevitable rather than extravagant. What unfolded at Rosewood Mayakoba was not just a wedding day, but a full, […]

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 […]

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.

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

Jake & Leah planned their Four Seasons Austin wedding with one thing at the center: bringing their people together. From the lively rehearsal dinner at South Congress Hotel to a tented dinner under the stars, every moment was designed to celebrate not only their love but also the community that has shaped their story. As […]

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. […]
