I originally planned on spending this past Saturday evening at the batting cages for about an hour. But after I drove over to the nearest location and found that they closed at 6 PM and not 9 PM as Google Maps told me, I decided to return to my apartment and grab my camera (all these images were taken with my D300 and my Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8). I had noticed this empty field right across the street from my apartment complex a couple weeks ago and wanted to go over there during the “golden hour” to get some shots. As the sun was slowly setting, I spent about 45 minutes out there taking pictures – the results of which you can find in this blog entry, in my next blog entry, and daily on Flickr for the next week or so. Next time I do engagement photos here in Austin, I think this would be a perfect location. Feel free to comment with your thoughts and share via Facebook or Twitter. Thanks!
A quintessential downtown Chicago photo shoot for Jason and Jessica – the future Mr. & Mrs. Betke. Although I was kind of rushed for time that day, it ended up being a lot of fun! Thanks for letting me take your pictures, and I can’t wait to share the big day with you both!
How fun are these pictures?
Ryan and Julie are two fun people, so it only makes sense that we’d visit a lot of cool places and have a great time while shooting their engagement pictures. It was awesome to get to know Ryan and Julie better, and I got to see a lot of Austin that I hadn’t seen before. It would have been hard to recommend places to go for good “Austin-esque” pictures since I’m so new to town, but Julie knew all the spots. This was definitely an Austin-inspired photo shoot. She had a lot more good ideas too, but there was just no way we could fit them all into one afternoon. You can see more photos in my Facebook album here – Ryan & Julie. Congrats to both of you!
