Austin Wedding: Dawn and Matt

On Saturday night I shot a wedding with the fabulous Sarah Quiara at the Driskill Hotel in downtown Austin for the amazing Matt and Dawn. We had a great time and even I couldn't help dancing when they played "Dancing Queen". Once again I was unable to restrain myself and there oh so many photos. One of my favorite moments was when the groomsmen had an impromptu dice game while waiting for us to photograph the women (see photo below). And didn't the bride look resplendent? I'll say. She was a definite ringer for Veronica Lake, but with brown hair.

Help Needed

I need your help on something. I decided to add a splash page to my site so that people could go to one url to get to weddings, portraits and blog. If you have a moment to check this out and let me know if you are having any problems with it, that would be great. I did this on my own so who knows how well it will work. Also, most photographers use images instead of type on these splash pages, so I thought I would try typography for a change. Is it good or should I stick to photos? To thank you for your help, I am offering a $30 Amazon gift card to whomever's name from people who leave comments (chosen at random) that I pick. So even if it works fine leave me a comment with your name and email so you can enter the giveaway. I love winning contests, don't you? Have a great weekend everyone and be sure to comment so that you can get a free book or cd or whatever you fancy.

Rudy's

We took the boys to Rudy's the other night since Josh's mom was in town. I think it is a law in Texas that you are required to take all out of town visitors to bbq at least once during their stay. The boys' favorite is the whipped cream on top of the banana pudding, as you can see in these photos. And I just love how much my boys love each other. What a gift that is.

Swimming at the Y

I know that Sam looks scared underwater, but he actually loved it and was all smiles afterwards (as seen in the photo below it). And the lovely Miranda and Natalie are always happy to be models for me in the water.

Austin Wedding: Ryan and Karie

I helped photograph a wonderful Austin wedding on Saturday with the talented Shannon Cunningham. The spot was beautiful and the bride and groom were resplendent. Shannon and I were joined by videographer Cory Ryan of Wild Parrot who was so much fun to work with. The wedding and reception were held at Mercury Hall. It was my first time there and I loved this place. It is small and intimate and has loads of charm. The following post of photos is really long, but I couldn't help myself. I loved so many. One of my favorites is the one of the bride giving her dad his credit card back. Apparently the family has a tradition where all the daughters give back their father's credit card on their wedding day, hence the bride's sad face. The last photo is of Miss Shannon doing her thing. Not only does it show the devotion of a wedding photographer, it also helps explain why I am so darn sore the next day.

I am looking to do more weddings in the future, so if you know anyone who is getting married please pass on my name. If they book their wedding with me you will receive a $100 credit with Bonnie Berry Photography, so be sure to have them mention your name, so I can get your gift to you.

The Next Generation

I just can't get enough of the kids at Ben and Sam's school. So I pulled out my point and shoot and went to town on Friday.

This is Ben's girlfriend Olivia whom I LOOOVE. And I also covet her awesome Obama tee.

Okay here is where Sam drinks the paint. Yep. He drinks it. What devotion he has to his art.

The Three Margarita Playdate

We had some friends and their children over the other day for some kid play in the toy room and some drinking for the mamas. I called it the Three Margarita Playdate, but I think I was the only one who actually drank three margaritas. But I suppose that a host cannot hold her guests to the same high standards that she holds herself to. Here are some shots (no pun intended) I took. If you are a glutton for punishment you can watch the whole slideshow here (it's slow to load so I suggest walking away while the photos download and coming back once they have).

REALLY!? Are We REALLY Considering Her?

To me this is not a democrats versus republicans thing. This is a qualified versus TOTALLY unqualified thing.

Sam's Day

Yesterday was Sam's day to stay home with me. We spent the morning walking the dogs and going to the liquor store to get ready for the "three margarita playdate" we hosted later in the afternoon (photos of that coming tomorrow). After his nap he had a dozen of his closest friends over. He had a ball.
