I just feel like I need to say…. prepare yourself. Prepare yourself for some of the most gorgeously styled details I’ve ever photographed. Prepare yourself for fun portraits and the sweetest ceremony and lastly, prepare yourself for some serious JOY!!
These two know how to style and throw a party (or two… or three!) but what they are true experts in is creating an atmosphere of pure joy. Nikhil and Paige are the type of people that you spend time with and walk away saying “They are JUST THE SWEETEST”. It’s true. They radiate joy and happiness and it’s so much fun to be in their presence. Their wedding celebration started mid-week last week. We flew into Austin on Thursday and photographed their intimate Hindu ceremony on Friday and then their American wedding on Sunday. The colors, the details, the thought that went into it all…. it was just so impressive. Paige, my sweet friend, you outdid yourself. Your hard work paid off and you managed to have a beautifully styled wedding where nothing strayed from the theme while also having a truly meaningful and joyful celebration as well. That is HARD to do. It’s hard to make it visually perfect but also sentimental and focused on your commitment to one another…. but you made it happen! It was absolutely perfect. What an honor it was to capture it all for you!!!!
Friends, don’t miss the extensive vendor list at the bottom of the post! There are so many amazing people to thank for these two days! Ashley (planner) and Kim (stylist), you two were just a dream. Thank you for making my job so easy and so much fun!! Nikhil and Paige, you are the epitome of a dream KJ Couple and I’m just so humbled that you chose us!!! Enjoy reliving your amazing wedding days!!!

Some images are good, but others really DRAW you in and make you say WOW! But what are the factors that make an image stand out so much?
Adobe has consistently pushed the boundaries of technology in the realm of photography. With the introduction of the generative AI fill feature in Lightroom, Lightroom Classic, and Lightroom Mobile, photographers have been given a powerful tool to enhance their editing process. This feature is not just a minor update; it could be a HUGE time saver for you!
I started this 3-part series after walking through an incredibly hard season with one of our sons. But there are so many things I wanted to share in hopes of helping other mommas like me that struggle to figure out what was happening!
I may be 15 years into being a wedding photographer but I still have some bucket list locations where I would love to shoot! When Sarah told me that she wanted to do her engagement session at Virginia House, I was so excited because believe it or not, I have NEVER shot here before!!
As a professional photographer, I’ve had the privilege of capturing countless family portraits over the years. Each session presents a unique set of challenges, from managing energetic children to finding the perfect backdrops.
As a photographer, I’ve often found myself in situations where the location seemed lackluster or uninspiring. It’s easy to get caught up in the pursuit of the perfect setting, but the reality is that we don’t always have the luxury of shooting in the most visually stunning locations.
