When you see these images, you have to love a traditional church wedding. Jennifer and Jesse were married at St. Richard’s Episcopal in Round Rock and it was simply beautiful. Everything was on schedule and with the help of my 2nd shooter, Amanda Cook, we captured some stunning preparation and bridal party images.
Church weddings are often dark to shoot in, but that is no problem for today’s modern cameras like the Canon 5D Mark II that I use and the Nikon D3 that Amanda uses. Along with good lenses, we can get beautiful images in low light that would have required a tripod and very slow shutter speeds before. This wedding was a perfect example.
After the ceremony the guests headed over to the Austin Marriott North (also known as the Marriott La Frontera) for the reception. Amanda went over right after the ceremony to capture reception details and the arriving guests while I did the family, bridal party and bride & groom shots.
The reception was fun and high energy complete with mariachi band, groom toss and dancing. We did a staged exit right in the atrium area of the Marriott which provided for a set of unique exit shots with no wind blowing the bubbles and well lit surroundings (rather than the pitch black of a traditional exit). Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.
