Shannon + Aaronhttp://vignettephoto.com/blog/posts/married-shannon-aaron-2/ http://vignettephoto.com/blog/posts/married-shannon-aaron-2/#comments Wed, 14 Jul 2010 14:00:34 +0000 elizabeth http://vignettephoto.com/blog/?p=2151 I went overboard with this wedding post! So many favorites from this beautiful wedding at Barr Mansion.

The light at Barr Mansion is always lovely.

Dress details and final preparations.

Meanwhile, across the hall…

After the guys did their photos they had plenty of time to relax before the ceremony.

The favors were glasses that had their monogram on the side- an intertwined A, S and J. Since all of their guests and even the bride and groom themselves were from out of town, each table was assigned a Texas city.

James did a fantastic job capturing this image below with the mansion in the background. Yummy solar flare!

Having a little fun with Shannon and her shoes.

Shannon and Aaron, thank you for commissioning us to capture your special day. We had a great time and wish you both all the best!

Katie & Hectorhttp://vignettephoto.com/blog/posts/married-katie-hector/ http://vignettephoto.com/blog/posts/married-katie-hector/#comments Wed, 07 Jul 2010 14:00:34 +0000 elizabeth http://vignettephoto.com/blog/?p=2053 I tried to control myself with the image selection for this post but as you’ll see, I lost control. It’s a big one!

Katie and Hector are friends of ours and such a lovely couple. It was a pleasure being asked to shoot their wedding and a joy to be a part of their day.

Katie showing off her shoes that match her girl’s dresses perfectly!

Handing out gifts and thank yous. Lots of laughter and tears but only good ones.

Loved this image of Katie and her sister.

Final preparations!

Beautiful bride.

Their flower girl was precious but not so sure about the wagon ride.

How cute are they?!

Waiting for his bride.

Katie and Hector kissed and were serenaded by a mariachi band as they headed into their reception.

There was a lot of good times and dancing…

What an amazing evening for an amazing couple!

It’s a pleasure working with them and even better when the relationship continues long after the wedding is over.

I thought I’d share a lovely thank you note we recently received – handmade by the bride!

If you don’t mind a bit of bragging from us, here are few other things people are saying about Vignette Photography:

“We absolutely loved working with Elizabeth and James! Throughout the entire process, they were very professional, knowledgeable and easy to work with. They are a great and friendly couple. Vignette shot our engagement session and wedding. Our pictures from both look amazing! I would highly recommend them for your special day. Thanks Elizabeth and James!” ~ Meeoak and James

“James and Elizabeth were fantastic! They had never been to our location before but did an incredible job. The photos are great, very artistic. They were a joy to work with.” ~ Laura and Kyle

“Elizabeth and James are wonderful. They care about their clients and are genuinely invested in making sure your event is captured perfectly. I hate having my photo taken, and they made sure I was comfortable with them. We met for dinner, we did an engagement session, we chatted on facebook and by the time my wedding day came around, I didn’t think twice about the photos. They managed to be everywhere and at the same time never in the way. Guests told me how polite they were, and how every time they looked around Elizabeth or James was capturing a perfect moment. Elizabeth is very responsive. I never had trouble getting a hold of them, getting questions answered or just checking in. I know folks have strong feelings about their photographers, and I’m no different, love them!” ~ Lori and Allan

“Elizabeth and James were a perfect match for our wedding photography needs. They are quite the professional team, making sure that the bride and groom have all of the posed, family shots that they would like while ensuring that those special, candid moments will be captured. Additionally, Vignette Photography’s prompt attention to all of my questions truly exhibits their excellence in customer service. I cannot begin to say how please we are Vignette. Thanks so much!” ~ Lisa and Jake

It is so fulfilling for us to not only deliver images that our clients will love but that the service we provide them is just as wonderful. Our goal is to make the photography selection and process of your event an easy process. We want to make it fun too! Being able to get to know you both is very important to us. We feel that will make you more comfortable with us and our cameras in your face and also help us provide images that really capture who you are.

No, not that kind of tub shot. I did a little happy dance when Shannon mentioned casually, ‘Oh, I want a shot of me in the tub.’ Instantly I knew what she meant!

More to come!

It was wonderful to finally meet Siri, co-founder of Two Bright Lights in person. She is very energetic and encouraging. I loved talking with her! Made me anxious to get more weddings uploaded to their service and ASAP!

I arrived early to help April of Paisley Day and Siri get things set up for the attendees. April, being the fab planner she is, was totally prepared with cute little goodie bags and color coordinating cookies and Jones sodas. How awesome are these?

She even included a mini Luna bar in honor of Lara Casey.

Huge thank you to Aloft at the Domain for hosting us in their gorgeous facility.

I went a bit overboard on photos but I couldn’t help it, especially with tasty treats Steve Southern of Southern’s Fine Dining brought for us.

Pecan wood smoked brisket slider complete with caramelized onions, Maytag blue cheese and a Dr. Pepper glaze. Yes, they tasted as amazing as they sound.

Cast iron seared sea scallop shooter over jalapeno spoon bread served with roasted corn chow-chow.

Lobster shooter with red curry coconut sauce.

I only ate one of these but seriously could have eaten at least 6. Mexican cheesecake bites with bourbon sauce. Divine.

Meet Chef Southern.

Ok, back to the boot camp! Wedding vendors- coordinators, venues, florists, caterers, photographers – you MUST sign up! What impressed me the most:

  • Photographers and their images are really protected.
  • We can share images from events with other vendors with ease – no more burning multiple discs and the time that involves.
  • Create inspiration boards or slide shows easily for your blog or clients.
  • Submit real weddings to their huge editorial list.

We ended the night with drinks in the Aloft’s w xyz bar. Golf tea anyone?

I really can’t say enough about Two Bright Lights and how amazing they are. I know they will streamline some of my work flow and give me the opportunity to easily submit to blogs and magazines. That exposure as a business owner is huge!

Thank you again to Siri, April, Steve and Kathryn at Aloft for a wonderful night.

Shannon is a gorgeous bride and I loved the rich purple accents she chose for her wedding day. You’ll get to see more of those images soon but first her bridal portraits taken at The Mandola Estate Winery.

Thankfully, we had a cooler day for these portraits even though the wind didn’t always cooperate. Made for a few fun images.

Check out her fabulous shoes!

Photographers, planners, venues – any wedding pro! You do not want to miss out on this opportunity. Two Bright Lights has been traveling around the U.S. spreading the word about their amazing service and hosting boot camps so we can learn the ropes. This Wednesday, June 23rd, they will be here in Austin!

I was very excited to learn about Two Bright Lights a few months ago and immediately asked they bring their boot camp to Austin. It was only last week though that I decided to get in and play around. I uploaded a wedding and wow! Couldn’t be easier! There are so many amazing features. I am looking forward to learning much more this week at the boot camp.

Click on the image above to access the invite and get your FREE ticket to the boot camp! If you plan on attending, leave a comment. I hope to see you there.
