Downtown Imagery : Austin Wedding Photography bio picture

Welcome to Downtown Imagery!

 

Ciao Everyone!


My name is Eric Kotara. Welcome to my little corner of the Austin wedding photography world.  I am happy you're here!  Make yourself comfy, kick off your shoes, and have a look around.  It's a fun place for fun photography.  


I have been photographing weddings for several years now and grow happier with my job with each one I photograph. My approach to my work is a stylish blend of photojournalism and classy portraiture with a crisp contemporary feel.  


There's plenty to see here so have a good look around.  You can find pricing information and more about me and my business in the menu bar up top.  The best way to get a feel for my work is to make your way thru the posts to see a handful of portrait sessions and weddings.  If you want something more specific, hit up the categories on the menu bar.  

 

Justin and Lindsay :: Engagement :: Super-Fun-Ness

Happy New Years!!! I hope everyone visiting had a wonderful holiday season and best wishes for a great new year and decade. It’s been a while since anything has happened around here. The holidays kept me and my wife busy and I haven’t been able to freshen up the blog until now. And what better way to do that than with photos of a couple in love?

This is a handful of images taken late last year from Lindsay and Justin’s engagement session. We started out at Green Pastures, poked around Austin a bit then headed out west to hit up a few roadside locations and end in a cedar spotted grass field for sunset. It was grand. Late sunlight is a great tool to work with and we definitely availed ourselves of the wonderful sunset we were given that evening. I can’t wait to photograph their wedding at Green Pastures in Austin. These two are a great couple and a perfect recipe for a fun day.

Super Sunset Goodness

A little something fun, and good too

This is a recent meme floating around the photography community and I thought I would jump on the band wagon and do a little something fun and interactive. It’s called Cans for Comments. Basically, I will donate a can a food to a local food bank for every comment made on the blog during this holiday season. To make it even more fun I will be giving away cans for all comments (including my own) already on the blog just to give us a bit more of a warm and cozy feeling :)

So yeah, it’s pretty neat and easy. Post a comment, share the love.

Cheers!

And I guess a picture, being a photography blog and all:

My new self (sort-of, I had a bit of help) portrait. Thanks Susie! With a new mugshot like this you have to expect a new about me page soon, which you should, cuz it’s coming.

My eyesight is not that bad; quite good actually :)

The downtown Austin engagement :: Jessica and Dave

Had a great time Sunday doing the downtown thang with Dave and Jessica. These guys are super fun and I anxiously look forward to their wedding (hint: swing dancing!!!!!). I really like it when the groom to be is into getting his picture taken and Dave was a champ. He stopped traffic, cleared out the floor of the Capitol, and scared away little girls getting into our shot; what more could you ask for. :) OK, in all fairness he very kindly asked the little girl if he could move her stroller and the little girl did what little girls do, get scared of the stranger. Totally worth it if you ask me. All in all, they were a fabulous and lively couple and I look forward to working with them again.
