Two photographers for your wedding day! A husband/wife team photographs your wedding with a photo journalistic style- Austin Wedding Photography

We are sensitive romantics who revel in the romance of photographing weddings and other events. As your photographer, we believe we should be barely noticeable during your event. With the exception of your specifically requested shots, we maintain a quiet decorum and remain reverent during your event.

We have found photography to be the perfect match for our personalities. The skills we have developed from working with people, planning events and meetings, and our attention to detail, combined with our love of photography brings you the highest possible quality images.

Our history in the photography industry is mixed. Raymond’s interest began in the late 70’s in Las Vegas, Nevada, as a High School staff photographer and newspaper freelance. His formal training was through the U.S. Navy, as a photographer’s mate/PH2. He has been published in national magazines and in many local publications. His photo journalistic work has won several awards and contests.

Debra’s interest in photography is more recent. Though she has always loved art and design, she is mainly self-taught. She has apprenticed with numerous photographers through the years, and trained in all aspects of black and white print production. Her photos have been used in advertisements, gallery display, web sites and published in local newspapers. Debra’s positive attitude, supportive nature and attention to detail are particularly advantageous to the bridal party on what can be a stressful day.

We are very much a team in the photography business and in life having been happily married for twenty years. We want you to feel comfortable with our easy-going personalities and warm-hearted presence.

Our team style approach to photography combines traditional classical poses, candid shots and contemporary “artsy” shots. We feel this diverse method completely captures the details of the event.

Golden Light 2009-10-29

This wedding panoramic from John & Jamie's wedding at the Umlauf Sculpture garden in Austin Texas had just the right light. Low in the sky just before sunset - filtered through soft clouds and adding a a warmth and a highlight on the left side of the trellis. The golden light cast just the warmest tone to the trees in the background, wonderful. The panoramic image is 4 photos stitched together with Photoshop CS4. Shooting the images with an "overlap" is the key to successful photoshop stitching automation.

For this Bridal Image, we used our "studio" lights to add fill light to the bride AND an additional fill light for the waterfall far off in the background, to the right. Without the high power studio fill - the waterfall would have been "darker" in the shadows and Jamie's features would be dark as she was backlit by the sun.... The warm evening sun "Kissed" Jamie's red hair which matched her bouquet perfectly. The back, direct light also gave a slimming effect to the photo on the left (not that our bride needed it) by washing out the details of where the line of her back was. For the photo on the right we stood on a ladder, we shot for a higher angle to juxtopose the waterfall just over the her shoulder. Awsome light!

Morning coffee 2009-10-06

Just a few weeks ago as we were getting ready to photograph our clients for their Houston Indian Wedding this November, we stopped by Starbucks for coffee and met Renee. As I sipped my coffee, I couldn't help to comment to Debra about the window light that was illuminating a focused seamstress hard at work while drinking her morning coffee. Well, the camera was near by so I approached "Renne" and asked if we could take a few photos - I just loved the focus Renee had on her task - the world just seemed to fade away as she practiced a craft not that is not common anymore. From my view I could see the soft light enter the coffee shop and every now and then catch a glimmer of light on the needle. I asked Renee if she could email me a little "background info" as our readers like to her about the people we photograph. Renee provided the folling infomation.

I am a first year grad student at the University of Texas, Austin. I am studying for my MFA in Costume Technology for Theatre, which involves the construction of costumes and costume pieces such as hats and wigs, and skills such as dyeing fabric and makeup. When you saw me, I was thread marking my wool vest pieces for a three piece suit that I am making for my tailoring class.
I am originally from Rhode Island, but have been quite happy in Austin for about two years now. I look forward to one day working behind the scenes in either film or theatre.

Thanks Renee for this simple slice of life... (more...)

It's Harley Time! 2009-09-30

Here we are on the road from Virginia to New York, literally; right now heading to West Point to photograph Jodi's bridal portraits.... dont you love mobile computing.... and no, I'm not driving as I blog but riding. Anyway, yesterday we happened across Ryan G. Ryan is a computer forensics specialist.... what a cool title. He is into Harley Davidson motorcycles and has had his current bike for about 6 months. He and his fiance Chelsea just returned from a long ride from Toledo Ohio, he on the bike and she in the support car with luggage and Miles, their year old black & white Malti-Poo. Well the bike is a color called "Black Ice"; a stunning metallic blue-violet and just gleams in the light. With his permission we decided to have some fun with him and his bike. We started with photos of his reflection in the different areas of the bike... gas tank, mirrorrs, gas cap, etc. Of course we had to get a few with Chelsea and Miles. Then we progressed to the photo displayed above. Using a wide angle lens and a slightly off angle and waving a flag in the foreground gave us this strong, majestic photo. Haha, we even pressed our friends Terry & Sherry into service holding camera flashes and flags and more. So here he is in his own Harley commercial. We hope to see more of them when it's time for their wedding.

Patriotic Wedding 2009-09-23

What better colors for a July 3rd military wedding than Red, White & Blue? That's what Kevin and Josephine chose and it reflected throughout Redbud Hall at Texas Old Town in Kyle, Texas. Flags and stars abound over tables with patriotic beaded necklaces, flag heart pins and candy as favors. Stars even hung from the ceiling making an aisle for the ceremony (and tangling up Kevin and Jo on their first dance) Good thing they planned for an early morning indoor ceremony on this over 100 degree Texas day. We had not met Kevin and Josephine prior to the wedding day except through a web conference to talk details. A friend in photo school was originally to take the photos but was overwhelmed by the pressure and not wanting to potentially disappoint and ruin a freindship they opted for professional photography. Having that date surprisingly still available we were happy to help out. Jo's family was much involved in the preparations as her Uncle, a Chef from MIT, made the wonderfully tasty wedding cake and they were married by her Aunt, an ordained hospital chaplain from California. I was amazed to find that the bride and bridesmaids had put together the red rose bouquets the night before the ceremony. They were just beautiful. We took wedding party photos outside to utilize the lovely streams and bridges on the property. With the heat the family stayed inside and enjoyed the ambiance. The food was wonderful as Dagar's had provided a BBQ feast for the family and guests. Dancing was spirited and fun and then Kevin and Jo exited to their guests waving small American flags to send them on their way. (more...)

Longhorn Wedding 2009-09-20

Umbrellas were the accessory of the day as Kourtney & Derek married at the Smith Family Chapel in Austin, Texas. It's been a DRY summer so the rain has been welcome though I'm sure they wish it would have paused for the day. the wedding colors were chocolate brown and Longhorn orange (for those non longhorn fans this means a burnt orange) The chapel glowed with the rich colors in the flowers and the many candles. Kourtney looked gorgeous and teary eyed as she walked up the aisle to Derek. Her custom designed white strapless dress with a mid length train was perfect for a bit of drama but easy for her to move around. The bridesmaids wore chocolate brown tea length dresses and the groom & his men sported chocolate brown vests and ties. With the ivory, burnt orange and bright orange flowers it was a warm and vibrant event. They were driven from the church in a vintage white limo to the UT Club in the stadium of the University of Texas. The guest were served a wonderful dinner and enjoyed cocktails in a room where Longhorn memorabilia and details were everywhere to be seen. The heartfelt toast from the Bride & Groom to the guests and family thanking all for sharing in thier most special day to date. We were even able to gain access to one of the private game boxes for a few photos. And though we could not see the UT tower lit up orange from the windows I am sure that will be a special part of their wedding photos.
