Jenny + Mike are Married! | Austin Wedding Photographer| Green Pastures Wedding

Susan — Fri, 18 May 2012 15:26:07 +0000

Remember Jenny and Mike from their Arcade Inspired Engagement Session?

Well, they continued their awesomeness by getting married at Green Pastures earlier this month. Jenny and Mike chose to get married on a Wednesday evening. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise, a wedding on a weeknight is still a TON of fun!

The hardest part of editing this wedding was to find photos that weren’t fabulous! In fact, Jenny’s day of bridal portraits were so great I will do a separate blog post next week with those images!

Congratulations Jenny and Mike! I wish you nothing but happy days for your new life together!

Special thanks to the awesome staff at Green Pastures Restaurant for a wonderful evening and James Griffith Photography for 2nd shooting with me.

Tifne + Bobby | Newlywed Couple’s session | Old Settler’s Park Round Rock

Susan — Sun, 06 May 2012 17:22:13 +0000

Things have been super busy around here! In the past 3 weeks I have shot four weddings, 2 engagement sessions and edited thousands of photos! The joys of being a wedding photographer in the Spring!

Tifne and Bobby were married in April in Playa del Carmen, Mexico. I will be shooting their reception this Saturday at Reunion Ranch in Georgetown. Tifne shared that although they have been together for over ten years they didn’t have many photos of just the two of them. We met at Old Settler’s Park in Round Rock to do a Newlywed Couple’s Session in lieu of their engagement photos.

Kelly + Josh Married | Longhorn Cavern, Burnet Texas | Off Beat Wedding Photography

Susan — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 13:00:04 +0000

In January I received a call from one of the most laid back brides I’ve ever met. Kelly said that she and Josh would be married in April inside of a cave in Longhorn Cavern State Park. When we first met I was thinking “Wow, a wedding in a cave? Really?” But after we talked a bit I changed my feelings to be more like “WOW! A wedding in a CAVE!! Really!!!”

Kelly and Josh were the perfect couple to have a wedding in a cavern. They were completely relaxed and easy going when it came to their wedding. They didn’t have a long list of “must have” shots. They were excited to do a first look before the wedding. Their concern was that their photos would be lit properly and look great. I knew that I could totally do that!

It turns out that shooting in the Cavern was one of the most challenging venues of my career. The caves were lit with small lights, basically a household lamp every 8-10 feet. With the power of flash, awesome gear and assistants we were able to document the moments of Kelly and Josh’s special day!

Check out this awesome shot that my 2nd shoot James captured at the entrance to the cave.

After dinner the guest were treated to a tour of the Cavern. If you live in the Central Texas Area it’s a great day trip.

This is Diego, the local bat. I don’t like bats. Diego was enough to make this Austin Wedding Photographer run back home!

Congratulations Kelly and Josh! I had a great time at your wedding. I definitely think it will take a lot to top shooting in a CAVE!

Angie + Dave Eloped! | SXSW Elopement | Austin Wedding Photographer

Susan — Sun, 22 Apr 2012 18:45:46 +0000

South by Southwest or SXSW is an annual music, film, and interactive conference and festival held in Austin. During this festival thousands of people become Austinites for a week, filling our hotels and clubs to catch the newest in computers, movies and music. Angie and Dave decided that their trip to Austin would be more than just a vacation. They arranged to have a judge meet them at Mayfield Park on a Thursday afternoon for a simple ceremony. After everything was official we drove up the road to Mt. Bonnell to capture some great photos with views of Austin.

Congratulations Angie and Dave! I am honored that I not only got to photography your wedding, but also got to sign your wedding license as a witness! I wish you both many years of happiness!

Shelby + Justin Engaged! | Austin Engagement Photographer | Robinwood Photography

Susan — Fri, 13 Apr 2012 17:41:31 +0000

I met up with Shelby, Justin and their French Bulldog puppy, Moose underneath the 360 Bridge for their engagement session. We set up a picnic for the love birds in the Loop 360 Park and they ended up wading in the waters of Lake Austin. I stopped and bought a Texas Mega Millions Lotto ticket using their wedding date to use during their session. I joked with them that if we won we’d split the money and they could get married on my new tropical island. Shelby and Justin are such a fun, laid back couple. Their session flew by and before we knew it we were done! Here are a few of my favorite captures from their engagement session.

Congratulations Shelby and Justin! I can’t wait for your wedding this summer at the Allen House.

Briana and Stephen are Engaged! | Georgetown Engagement Photographer| Robinwood Photography

Susan — Wed, 11 Apr 2012 16:52:07 +0000

So many couples have unbelievable love stories: Lost loves reunited after years apart, couples who beat all odds to be together, couples who locked eyes across a crowded room and were together from that moment on. These stories fascinate me. I love love stories! With each new couple I book I ask “So tell me how you met.” Imagine my anticipation when Briana and Stephen wrote back that they had met over a box of Thin Mints and that they would tell me the entire story later! This Girl Scout Mom was giddy with excitement that I might actually get to involve a box of Thin Mints in an engagement session!

It turns out that Stephen remembers this story better than Briana. He told me that he was hanging out a church one evening and Briana bounced into the room, said hi and offered him a thin mint before she bounced out of the room. And the rest folks, as they say, is history!

Briana and Stephen decided to shoot their engagement session on the historic square in Downtown Georgetown. Special thanks to Cianfrani Coffee Shop and Hill Country Book Store for being awesome backdrops for their shoot!

Ms A’s Sizzling Boudoir Session | Austin Boudoir Photography

Susan — Thu, 05 Apr 2012 22:44:10 +0000

Ms. A is not only beautiful, she’s a model. When she came over for her Boudoir Session a few weeks back our only challenge was getting her session finished before my kiddos came home from school! Here are a few of the best shots from the day!

Mrs. M’s Boudoir Session | Austin Boudoir | Robinwood Photography

Susan — Fri, 30 Mar 2012 05:27:07 +0000

I have had the privledge of photographing a few awesome women lately who are brave enough to let me share their images with you.

Mrs. M met me at my friend’s studio to do some low light boudoir. Low light studio boudoir is an awesome look that features soft light and shadows. This shoot lends itself to be a bit more mysterious and dark. So if you are not the “traditional” Boudoir girl consider this!

Here are a few of my favorite images from this Rocking Mom’s Boudoir Session.

Jenny and Mike are Engaged! | Austin Wedding Photographer | Robinwood Photography

Susan — Mon, 26 Mar 2012 03:30:27 +0000

Jenny and Mike are an easy going couple who . They work in the gaming industry so I suggested that we start their session at Pinballz Arcade. They enjoyed playing some old fashioned arcade games with each other. I have to admit I was a bit jealous as they played the fabulous games of my childhood!

We then took off for some fun photos with one of Austin’s cool Graffiti walls.

Congrats Jenny and Mike! I look forward to capturing your big day at Green Pastures this May!
