This past weekend Jeffrey was in Austin for a photo shoot.  After the photo shoot we made our way to the best pizza parlor in Austin, TX, Home Slice.  While waiting for our table to be called, Jeffrey and I  headed over to the patio for a couple of brews.  Unfortunately there were no tables open until this kind couple offered to share theirs with us.  We enjoyed getting to meet them and were so glad they let us photograph them.  Just one of those days you can only experience in Austin.

Last week Jeffrey was able to take some pictures of this really cool couple.  For this engagement shoot, Jeffrey really wanted to try something different from his other shoots but at the same place the couple in an environment that really complimented their energy and artistic personalities.  After driving around Laredo for a while, Jeffrey and the couple decided on the carnival.  After drawing inspiration from John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John’s iconic date in Grease, Jeffrey felt the the pure unadulterated fun the carnival represented and its infinite palette of colors would be the ideal setting for this amazing couple.  It wasn’t long before Cassandra and Oscar became the main attraction at the carnival.  Instead of flocking to the rides, people we coming over to see the shoot unfold.  We’re really looking forward to their wedding day.

As we get closer to wedding season we will be shooting a lot of our engagement sessions within the next few months. Tonight will be one of our first sessions for 2010 and it should be plenty of fun. Im really excited since we will also be shooting video aswell.

Last week I met with Cassandra and Oscar and they were nice enough to drive around town with me to scout for a nice location. It turned out to be great that they tagged along since they had so many ideas I would have not thought of. For tonight we will be shooting mostly at the WBCA Carnival. Both the pictures and video should turn out great!!

Here is test shot for our second location which will be shot at a later date.

Cassandra poses while Oscar makes her laugh for the camera.

Here is a sneak peak of yesterdays engagement session with Dania and Kyle.

The flyest couple I have ever shot!!!

I can seriously say the they could probably make a living by modeling or acting.
Ever since our first photo session a few months ago, they have been flaw less in front of the camera. With a limited amount of time to do both a short film for their wedding day and a photo session, they were able to knock of mostly all shots in their first take. INSANE!!

Well yesterday they finally got hitched and we were there to snap some relax portraits of their wedding. I will post some wedding pics later, for now check out the ones from their engagement and bridal session. Also below is the short film we shot for their wedding. It was played on the jumbo screen in front of all the guest that attended the wedding. The crowd really got into it and we ended up playing the video twice throughout the night.

By the way, the video was inspired by Reverie a short film by Vincent Laforte.

Overall this is my fav.

Wedding day video coming soon. For now check out the pics. Im off to see “New Moon”, will post more pics when i get back.
