In our opinion, no artificial lighting is better than the best natural light source we take for granted. I know what most of you are thinking: “We are in Houston, the weather is so unpredictable. What if it rains?” We totally agree with that. It’s a bit of a risk, but it pays off big. It most likely won’t rain and the pictures we get are extra gorgeous! Karen and Kevin brought us to Barr Mansion in Austin because it is an awesome place to have an outdoor wedding. The rooms in the mansion for the bride and groom’s are incredible. It’s a historical building and they are “The nation’s only certified organic event facility”! We think it fits their personalities perfectly!

It’s not every weekend we get to shoot a great friend’s wedding, so this one was pretty special to me. I feel honored that they trusted us to help capture this very special day for them. It was a gorgeous day in the Hill Country for a fun Texas style wedding. Dinner was from Salt Lick…need I say more?

This past March we had 4 weddings that weekend — and one of couples was Laura and Michael. The day before their wedding, Alice and I both had a wedding that ended really late and by the time we got to bed that night it was 2am already! Laura + Michael’s wedding took place in Austin so we had to wake up extra early the next morning for the long drive. We were super exhausted by the time we got there but when we saw our beautiful couple and the amazing garden, we were ready for another full day of shooting. This place was gorgeous! Jennifer, the owner of Jennifer’s Gardens, opened her heart and offered Laura and Michael to have their wedding ceremony for free. Laura + Michael were one of the couples we selected for free wedding photography. Here is their story: http://www.serendipity-photography.com/2008/11/11/tuscany-of-garden-oaks-and-bella-terraza-displaced-brides-announcement/

We also want to thank Efro for helping us with this wedding. He shot one of the weddings with us the day before in Houston and had to drive home to Austin the next morning. He knew we would be tired, so he insisted on shooting with us. You can’t ask for a better friend!
