One of the things I always do is ask couples “What do you like to do together?”
Some boat, some fight, some roller skate. Jamie & Steven LOVE them some movies so we busted into the Alamo Draft House theater in Austin and shot away. Major major thanks to them for giving us the run of the pace. They are located in a few cities in Texas and are totally worth looking into if you like movies.










Since basically EVERY movie coming out now is in 3D we had to get some with glasses. I can’t wait to see hollywood rerelease The Notebook in 3D.






For all my photographer friends who are wondering how I lit this shot it’s pretty basic. Super giant bright backlight + 40×90 ft reflector in front.


They also like to play the video games. Jamie CRUSHED it at Rock Band.








Finally we did some “normal” engagement shots.


Well… “Austin Normal”.








I’m totally looking forward to their September wedding!

Ummm so even though you said it would be like Friday or Monday, I definitely checked your website like 8 times between yesterday and today cause I was so impatiently excited. Absolutely worth the wait! haha. The pictures look so amazing. I was telling everyone at work on my way out the door. I’m REALLY relieved to see that it wasn’t Sarah Jessica Parker’s face behind us. I don’t know how you manage to capture exactly who we are, but make us look good at the same time! Pure genius.
Money well spent… the photos are wonderful… both technically and artistically. Of course, it helps to have such photogenic subjects! Thanks for going all the way to Austin to make these photos so special for Jamie and Steven.
I absolutely love your pictures. You both look so happy, but Jamie you are so beautiful. Steven great smile.:) Love how unique and personel your engagement pics are. Thanks so much for sharing them.
Okay–at this point I have just have three words to say about spending so much budget on the photography–”totally worth it”!You’ve perfectly captured the relationship of our two lovebirds. Thank you! I’ll be recommending you forever.
I absolutely love the engagement pictures! Very unique – which is so fitting!! I can’t wait for the wedding!!!
OMG you two are adorable!!!!!! Jamie I love the 3-d glasses pic!!! Hehehehe Definitely one of my faves of all time. You are both so amazing and these pictures fit you so well
The photos are great!! I love the ones that look like you are in the thearter and with the old fashion 3D glasses… They just look fun… then there are other favorites that show your beauty and love for each other. Way Cool!!
I had no real doubt that our pictures would be great after looking at all of your other galleries but I had no idea I would be so pleased with how these pictures turned out. I can’t wait to see the rest! I’m that Russell Brands ugly mug was on the screen behind us! I’m so happy with these
Thanks Alex.
Eh, I’m pleased that his wasn’t . . .
These are some of the best photos of you two I’ve seen, and I should know, I take enough of them!
Also, I like the strategic positioning of Steven & Jamie’s silhouettes against the screen. It’s, um, amusing.
You guys look sooooo awesome on your pictures!
My favorite one is the “laughing” picture.
I also love that some of the wardrobe was from BR
Man, these are so good! Super funny AND super cool.
The pictures are very true to your personality! Couldn’t be more fitting! Very Cute!
OMG! Jamie, these pics are fabulous!
To the photographer: Since you are based in Tyler, do you, by chance, do Dallas events too? My fiance and I are getting married sometime in April or early May and we’re looking for a photographer, and I LOVE your work.
