Introducing Maureen & Jason, a super sweet, stylish couple.  Maureen happens to be a friend and fellow interior design junkie!  She has a fabulous online home decor & accessory store based right here in Austin, The Inglenook Decor, check it out.  I can’t wait to shoot their wedding at the enchanting Laguna Gloria this December.  We hopped over there for a few engagement shots and then made our way to west 4th st. (downtown Austin).  Thank you so much for the opportunity Maureen & Jason, enjoy!

…and I couldn’t be happier!  Not only because this is my beautiful sister Celeste we are talking about, but because she is marrying a sweet, generous, kind, and not to mention, handsome guy (that would be Joe).  I took some photos for them back in December, 2007, when I was home in California for Christmas.  Celeste and Joe had only been together a few months, but they already knew they had something special (and so did I).  They sent the photos I took back home to his family along with a letter introducing Celeste.  You see Joe’s family lives in Goa, India, and he doesn’t get to see them very often.  I felt it was a beautiful gesture, and a true indication of things to come.  Here we are, almost exactly 2 years later, and the happy couple is engaged.  I am honored to be photographing the wedding taking place this Sunday in the beautiful Santa Cruz mountains of California at my parents home.  A Merry Christmas indeed!  Stay tuned

Here is favorite photo from their December 2007 shoot (for any interested photographers out there, this was when I first started.  For this shot I used my rebel and 50mm 1.8).
