Epic in Shiner

Over the last year and half I’ve booked a lot of brides over the phone (a lot), I don’t know why it’s just worked out that way. Maybe I have some great phone voice that I never realized??? Anyway not to get off track, coming up in May two out five weddings will be of happy couples I never met before. Wow! The great thing is I get to trapes all across Texas... does that make me a destination wedding photographer?

So Carli and Claudio where a little bit different, Carli booked me a while back and I got the chance to meet both of them briefly about a month before the wedding so at least we weren’t total strangers.

The wedding was epic (they have the pose to prove it) and totally beat any expectation of a back yard wedding, wait until you see the “tent”.


I had a great time, the day and evening were perfect and hope to head back to Shiner real soon for yet another wedding.


Oh and did I mention this is one out of three Aggie weddings in a row? Don’t get me wrong I love my Aggies but for an Austin guy that’s pretty good! For the record my loyalties lie in East Tennessee.


Props to Barbara (http://www.barbaralegerephotography.com) our 2nd shooter for stopping to get this shot.

Getting ready with Summer.


The little blue hose rocked! We got a ton of great shots back there.




Summer's little girl rocked it out as the flower girl.

I really wonder if any bride and groom can actually hear what's being said during their ceremony? I recently celebrated my 10th wedding anniversary and watched our footage, it was a really good sermon!

This was the most fun wedding party I've seen in a long, long time. It was a lot of fun to shoot them.


In true backyard wedding fashion the bride and brides maids were barefoot.

The "Epic Pose".

Here's the tent from a far... it was enormous.


The best man was great, he was slaying the audience.

Oh and the brewmaster hooked Carli and Claudio up with their own special wedding day brew.
