I had a lot of fun over the weekend photographing Beth and Justin’s wedding. The day could not have been prettier and we all had a grand ol’ time for this Hill Country Wedding. The ceremony was held at the Hotel Alsace in Castroville and the reception was held at the Quihi Dance Hall. The dance hall has the absolute best dance floor ever. You could moonwalk in hiking boots it was so nicely finished. In fact, on more than one occasion I think I did a half rock-star slide getting down to shoot something on the dance floor; it was AWESOME!
As always love was in the air. Beth and Justin have great families and great friends and I was very lucky to get to document the whole shindig. From killing a bottle of HOT DAMN to cutting a rug to Billie Jean, it was a wonderful night.
Cheers to you Beth and Justin, have fun in the rainforest 
Great story with this series. So Beth did her best to keep the flight path of her bouquet below the rafters, but she must have been really excited. In the end Beth’s sister fetched the prize, with the help of a baby’s toy bat. AWESOME!!!
Parts of this next series look like they might have hurt a bit. You took it well Justin.
Well wouldn’t you know it, a wish of mine came true
Thanks guys, enjoy them.

Mercury Hall is a great little venue in Austin just perfect for a small intimate wedding. It’s an old hall that was moved from Mercury TX to Austin in the late 20th Century and really has a great country feel even though it’s not far from the city center. With old stressed floors and some colorful stained glass windows, this venue really takes you back.
I was working 2nd for Mary Sledd, photographer extraordinaire! while shooting this wedding. It was a ton of fun. Mary was a joy to work for, everyone was in good spirits, the bride and groom were very much in love; all was right with the universe that day
Hope you enjoy!
They had this great cover band that really left me breathless. RadioHead covers as waltzes, YEAH!!!!
They did a good job of keeping the dance floor full.
OK folks, that’s it for now. Until next time
Ciao!

If a tree falls in Austin, will it get decorated? Probably
This is a bit of a random post, but I guess that is keeping in line with the theme of the post.
I love random stuff like this, and Austin seems to be replete with great, colorful little happenings like this all over the place. This is one I’d like to share will all of my internet buddies.
It sits underneath the Mopac, in the creek bed that leads to the Town Lake Trail. I kept seeing it thru the trees while running and finally took my camera down there one day to spend a moment photographing it. Someone spent a ton of time doing this and I am glad they did. It is a great piece of random environmental art:
In other news, Canon released a redonculously priced new camera that I will never own, Apple released my next computer the 27″ iMac (swoon), and there’s a wedding from Mercury Hall in Austin coming up next on the blog; check back soon for it.
