This might be the most yin and yangiest couple I've ever photographed. She's an energetic, outspoken extrovert times infinity (read: firecracker), and he's calm, quiet, and maybe even a little bit shy. Both are as sweet as can be and so accommodating to everyone around them and especially to each other. I think that's a recipe for a wonderful relationship, right?!
Kim, Joe, and I bounced around the Fort Worth Stockyards recently during their engagement session (beers in hand, of course) and saw amazing boots, bikes, horses, and warm and cozy rustic surroundings. Salt of the earth, that's them. Kim and Joe are getting married in May out in Wichita Falls (Kim's hometown), and I can't wait to photograph their big day! Stay tuned, as it's right around the corner!

So cute, they are, that B & B. Brecht and Brandon booked with me what seems like eons ago, so I've gotten the chance to get to know then (especially Brecht) a bit. What I can say about this smashing, dashing, tremendously good looking couple is that, though they turned 1500 heads during our engagement shoot, they are incredibly down to earth and completely clueless of how cute they really are. Though Brecht is definitely a detail-oriented creative, planning go-getter and Brandon is more of the mellow, big-picture scanning variety, they are both quite charming in their own ways as well as together. They work. They know this. They've been together for over 5 years, so they are in it to win it! Big money. No whammies. Score. Plus, their dog, Reise, is the icing on that fabulous wedding cake. Check out this family to be below!
It's gonna be a long wait till their wedding in October, but it will be so worth it.
Hugs to you both, B & B, and give Reise a snuggle from me, too!

What a cute couple! Love all the photos with the great colorful details in the background, but might have to say my favorite is the black and white. So simple and intimate!
(03.22.10 @ 08:09 PM)I've known Lydia's family for years, as we grew up in the same hometown of Brenham, Texas. However, due to our (it pains me to say this) age difference, we never really knew each other. I haven't seen her in decades, so imagine my surprise when she called me to see if I could shoot her wedding. Knowing her family's appreciation for all things artistic, I was immediately excited and very much looking forward to the big day.
Then, I met up Lydia in Austin at her apartment a couple of weeks ago to photograph the engagement session. I was introduced to her super cool fiance, Ed, and we all got to know each other throughout our walk around downtown. Now, I am beside myself waiting for their wedding day! Lydia and Ed have this chemistry that is like two long lost fitting puzzle pieces who just happen to be magnetic. They just go together. I can't imagine them apart, and though they were slightly nervous at the beginning of their session (so they said), I couldn't tell one bit. They are complete naturals, and it is going to be a joy to photograph them making it official on April 24th!

so. so. cool!!!!
(03.16.10 @ 10:43 PM)Thank you to all of my clients and blog readers for being patient with me over these last few weeks as I've been educated at the always intense Foundation Workshop and as I gave photography from the heart, photographing Carson Richardson's visitation, funeral, and burial services. It has been a trying couple of weeks that have not let up, being sprinkled with already planned engagement sessions, baby sessions, and life as I know it. I am truly blessed to have clientele who are beyond fun to work with and make my work so enjoyable that it doesn't even feel like a job. So, thank you. I can't wait to show you all of the fun stuff that has been piling up.
Also, thank you to Bobby, for putting up with me as I have been MIA both physically and mentally. You are my angel, ALWAYS. Thanks to Millie for never withholding hugs and kisses even though I haven't been around for Mommy-Millie days as much as I'd like to. Finally, thanks to my amazing friends, Natalie, Joanna, Holly, Mandy, Sarah and Kathryn for helping me with Millie, for encouraging me, and for unconditionally being there for me in times that frozen margaritas are for celebrating/gossiping and also those times when they are for commiserating/crying. I love you all.
Now, onto a fantastic couple getting hitched in May! Lauren + Alex are insanely gorgeous and their chemistry is undeniable. It's like, duh. I didn't really direct them at all...just kinda followed them around like a creepy stalker for an hour, and this is what we came up with. If it doesn't make you want to find your better half for some snuggles, you are a cold and heartless alien robot from the planet NoLuv.

Sizzling, right?! Just wait for the wedding photographs. It's gonna be ON like DONKEY KONG!

I feel like I just flipped through a catalogue - they just go together. You can see the chemistry with this couple. Love the one with the elephant painted on the wall.

I believe I recognize those tin lunch bags! Great memories and lovely shots Kate! Coolness!
(03.08.10 @ 09:25 PM)So sweet, and so appreciative of the photojournalistic style I strive toward, Melissa and Jason are a great match for me. We got together for a quick engagement/get-to-know-each-other session just a week before their wedding in the freezing cold morning mist. They were such troopers and afterward, we ended up chatting at Starbucks with some lovely lattes like old friends. We even met a guy (read: genius of 3rd Millennium Chess) that invented a three dimensional chess board and he let us play with it for a bit. Fun! I can't wait to show you their wedding images. You. Will. Freak. Eeeeeeee!
Kim is glowing!!!! these are awesome Kate!
