Austin Wedding Photographer--Shelva and Ron's living room wedding
Small weddings are amazing. I wasn’t sure what to expect when Shelva originally contacted me about photographing her wedding. She said that she’d be getting married at home with just a few of her closest friends and that the reception would be next door afterward.
When I arrived, I was FLOORED at how amazingly adorable and perfect everything was. A living room wedding, all dolled up with some beautiful flowers and one of their very closefriends making boudain in the kitchen while everyone sipped champagne and waited for the ceremony began. Her mother gave her away and the whole thing was more beautiful than I could have imagined.
I cry at weddings. Even when I’ve just met the couple. I cry at weddings. Love is great.
Austin Family Photographer: In-studio session
I bought myself a new 9’ backdrop last Friday. Now listen, I’m not the type to buy myself new things very often… especially kind of expensive new things. But after a lot of hemming and hawing on the color and texting Briley and finally making her decide for me, I settled on “Pecan” for this cute little family shoot. What a great neutral. I did manage to let it unroll itself WAY too much accidentally because I got a little arrogant and convinced myself I could set it up on my own. It ended up getting pretty wrinkled and kinked on the end. Oops. But it worked out! And I have some major heart eyes for this fam. L & T were in my class when I worked at the Montessori school (5 YEARS AGO!). They’re taller and 10000% hilarious and hate having their picture taken as much as the next person but we all had fun I think and now we have some cute photos to last them a lifetime.
Dear Universe,
More studio family shoots, please <3
