Wildflower Portrait Special

Around this time every year in central Texas the wildflowers just explode. You also see dozens of folks squatting in the middle of them getting their pictures taken, so I am offering a professional option to take advantage of this photo op at a discounted price. From now until 4-9-2010 I'm offering $99 (+ tax) wildflower portrait sessions. This includes a 1 hour photo session with up to 5 people and a CD with edited high resolution images on them. The shoot doesn't have to happen before 4-9-2010 (although you want to do it soon to take advantage of the wildflowers), it just has to be ordered and a 50% deposit paid. Contact Michael Harris at 512-767-9929 to set up your appointment.

Paul and Cammie's Wedding

Paul and Cammie are two friends of mine. Paul used to run a bike shop near my house and since I'm constantly breaking stuff on it we got to know each other pretty quick. :) They actually had me shoot everything from their 'Save the Date' photographs to the bridal and engagement portraits and, of course, the wedding. Paul is into hot rods too and has been killing himself building a Model A street rod up in time for the wedding. One of the coolest weddings I've shot by far - loved the hot rod convoy leaving the church! (btw - note the bullet holes in one of the cars leaving the church. I need to ask about that - these aren't the sort of folks to put fake bullet holes into a car. Wonder if the car belonged to some 1920's gangster - wouldn't that be cool!).

Randy and Carolyn's Wedding

Texas weather in spring is a fickle mistress to say the least. You can experience all 4 seasons in a day, and a powerfull cold front that dumped half a foot of snow on Dallas was showing us that winter wasn't done with us despite what the calendar said. The same calendar that showed I had Randy and Carolyn's wedding shoot at the Villa Vista - an outdoor wedding venue. The day started to the sound of rolling thunder and sleet pelting my window before dawn. I winced in my bed. I had never seen an indoor wedding attempted there. This should be an adventure.

I made sure to arrive half and hour early as I wasn't sure what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised. The furniture had all been cleared out inside the Villa and very nice white folding chairs were lined up in neat little rows. Flowers and blue LED accent lighting had been placed strategically. The sustained 30mph winter winds howling outside were now an after thought. The very tight quarters did make photographing the event tricky, but I managed. The wedding came off top notch. Randy and Carolyn were very kind and generous. Very laid back - they took the weather and the problems it caused in stride. It didn't ruffle a feather.

Mike and Chrissy's Wedding

These are some images from a recent wedding I photographed at La Villa Vista on Lake Travis. It's also the first wedding where I used a wireless flash. I loved the results. Mike and Chrissy and their families were wonderful - very laid back and very friendly. It's so fun to be a part of something like this. I wish them a long and happy marriage.
