Austin TX Wedding Photographer - Kate + Steve

Moshe Zusman and I shot such unique wedding down in the beautiful Austin Texas. I've only been to Austin twice now (both for weddings, and surprisingly both were at the Barton Creek Resort). Kate and Steve's family threw an amazing pre-wedding party the night before where Steve got up on stage and jammed with the band for a bit before singing to his soon-to-be bride with his groomsmen as his vocal backup. The day of the wedding, we couldn't have asked for more beautiful weather as Moshe and I hit up a couple hot spots in Austin to get some great images of the bridal party before we all headed to One World Theater, which was probably the most stunning wedding venue I've ever had the privilege to shoot at. Everything about this wedding was so special and unique, from the great details of the wedding decorations to Kate's sparkling smile as she walked down the aisle to the Mardis Gras themed reception! It was a blast from start to finish!



 

North Carolina Miltary Wedding - Johhny and Meghan

I had the pleasure of photographing Johhny and Meghan's wedding the other day at Fort Bragg in North Carolina with Moshe! We had a great time, although going through security a couple times a day was kind of a drag. When we first got there, we met up with the happy couple to go down to one of their favorite places to hang out and get some fresh air, a lake very close to the base, for a quick photo session before their big day. The ceremony was beautiful and they made their exit through a saber arch on their way to Ironwood Cafe for the reception. Enjoy this little taste from their day! Be sure to check out Moshe's blog for the slideshow!

Meghan tried to stand on the branch to get a little closer to kiss Johnny and almost fell!

The best camera is the one you have with you!

It starting drizzling for a bit, so I decided to use my Westcott umbrellas as an rain umbrella instead of a reflector! Worked very well!

Johhny's dad want's YOU!

A "Thriller" homage to Michael Jackson got the crowd dancing!

Congratulations to both Johhny and Meghan!

Reanna and Jeremy - Atlantis Hotel, Paradise Island - Bahama Destination Wedding

This past week I was in sunny (and humid) Paradise Island in the beautiful Bahamas with Armin and his wife Denise for Reanna and Jeremy's wedding. We arrived on Tuesday and scoped out the huge resort and then crashed in the hotel after a long day. Day two we got a chance to relax on the not-so lazy river and shoot down the famous slides in the Mayan Temple, before getting ready for their rehearsal that evening. Thursday was their special day, and we were so lucky to only get about 30 minutes of rain about an hour before the wedding. There was some great cloud cover that made for beautiful light and bearable temperatures for Reanna in her stunning custom made dress! Their reception was at the incredible Fathoms, which built around a huge tank filled with fish, manta ray and sharks! They'll be spending the next week relaxing in Paradise! Photos were taken for Armin DeFiesta Photography

...we had some "wedding crashers" hanging out in the water at the beach!

...never thought I'd see live fish that close to a wedding cake!

...these guys caught me by suprise while I was changing memory cards!

...and to top it all off - Reanna's "Top Model" pose!
