Weddings are kinda funny. You spend months panning every little details and then sometimes it’s just the random moments that end up sticking in your brain. Here are a few of those that I caught this past year.

(Voting open for about 24 hours. Winners announced on Monday February 13.)

Occupy Engagement Session

Thank you two for a great session. Can’t wait for the wedding!!!

Ashley & Aric | Villa Antonia Austin Wedding

AlexM — Fri, 25 Feb 2011 16:28:16 +0000

I had such a great time at this wedding. I think one of the reasons it was so great was because by having it in Austin they had just the right mix of people. It was close enough to where friends and family would attend, but not so close that they felt like everyone they have ever said hello to should be invited. They really had the perfect number of guests and had an incredible party all day long.

The wedding took place at the gorgeous Villa Antonia near Austin.

Simon Lee Bakery did a great job on the cakes.

I loved this moment right after the ceremony. (The florals from Flower Creations also helped a lot.)

Saw em off.

My favorite part of a wedding is watching Aggies do the fight song. Regardless of how many their are, they can never all seem to get their lean going the same direction all at once.

Tunes Across Texas made sure everyone danced every minute of the reception.

Thank you guys so much for sharing your day with me. I can’t wait to show you the rest of your images!

Ashley | Bridal Photography Villa Antonia

AlexM — Mon, 24 Jan 2011 16:00:18 +0000

I can’t wait for Ashley & Aric’s wedding at the Villa Antonia in Austin, TX. This wedding venue is flippin’ amazing and there are so many great little places to shoot. Here are just a few from her bridal session, but be ready for a super post after her February wedding!

GiGi came along and got in on the action as well.

Jamie & Steven | Movies

AlexM — Thu, 17 Jun 2010 19:53:32 +0000

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!

Recording Studio + Dirty Limo + Kartwheels = Angela & Spencer

AlexM — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 14:28:07 +0000

I had such a great time getting to know Angela & Spencer. These two have great chemistry and style so photographing them was something I had been looking forward to for a while. These two met a few years ago down in Austin. Spencer works at a music institute that Angela’s sister was attending. Soon, Angela started to come around and “check in” on her sister’s music. Spencer decided to ask Angela out, and Angela said yes, but she wanted her sisters to come along. Once Spencer left, her sisters pointed out to Angela that he was asking her on a DATE. After a bit a of clarification, the two finally had an “alone” date and they have been giddy and in love ever since.

If you know these two you know that music plays a HUGE role in their lives so the studio where they first met seemed like the perfect place to start the session.

Fun with piano reflections.

Next we headed out into Austin.

Fancy shiny limos are everywhere. This is an Austin-style limo.

If you are in the Austin click here to book the Dirty Limo.

These two were a bit nervous in front of the camera. I have no idea why. They are naturals.

Angela hooked us up with private access to this football field in town.

Spencer accomplishes things Colt McCoy & Vince Young never did on the field.

One of my most-est favorite-est ever.

Thank you guys for an amazing time. I’m stoked about the wedding. See you soon.

Engagement Photography Austin, TX | Jamie & Dave

AlexM — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 22:30:00 +0000

I drove over to Austin for Jamie & Dave’s engagement session and they did not disappoint. I love shooting in different locations and Austin is always willing to provide those.

Skulls because it’s Austin or skulls because it’s October? Yes.

Thanks guys for a great session. Looking forward to your wedding at the fancy schmancy Villa di Felicita!
