Jesse + Corrie’s Tiber Canyon Ranch Wedding

Jesse & Corrie got married in Tiber Canyon Ranch - a beautiful property, just outside of Santa Barbara in wine country. The wedding was intimate, cozy, and very peaceful - much like them! The guests were incredible, and we actually made a few new friends - bonus! Everyone loved the slideshow we played. Here it is - we hope you enjoy it too!

Editing in Tears

Wow. Sometimes, when editing a photo, the perfect song comes on... [mp3player width=130 height=20 config=one-song.xml file=http://austindara.com/blog/audio/jamaisvu.mp3] The song, btw is called "Jamais Vu" by Dredg. Dredg is one of those bands that inspires your heart to keep loving.

Mike & Amanda: Day Before Getting Hitched

Mike & Amanda had a destination wedding in Montana! The before the wedding, they invited us to their rehearsal dinner to eat with close family and friends. Of course we had to take pictures, and it was a perfect excuse to take some "engagement" shots before the big day. Mike and Amanda: thanks for being rebels with us on the tracks ;) Love you guys!!

Tim & Nicole’s Figueroa Mountain Farmhouse Wedding

Figueroa Mountain Farmhouse is our favorite wedding location on the central coast, and it was a perfect fit for Tim & Nicole's wedding. The farmhouse and surrounding landscape is definitely not your typical California experience, but that's what is so cool about it! It actually reminded us of a destination wedding that we shot out in Montana 2 years ago. Anyway, Tim & Nicole had an amazing wedding there back in May and we're finally blogging it: Officiant: Jim Fitzpatrick Caterer: Ono Catering, Willie Martinez Wedding Planner: Nicole (before), Brianne Lyon (day of) DJ: Matt Armor, All Occasion DJ Hair & Make up: ...

Jeff & Rita’s Underwater Shoot

The day after Jeff & Rita's wedding, we decided to test out our new water housing. We only had about 1/2 hour of light, but we managed to snap a few keepers ;)

The Land of the Living Skies

We recently flew up to Saskatchewan, Canada to visit Dad#1 :) Saskatchewan actually means the "Land of the Living Skies" and it's where I (Austin) was born. This was my first time going back since I a kid. The landscape, colors, and fresh air couldn't have felt better - especially since we got to enjoy it with "Grandpa"! We brought one camera, one lens, and about 20 memory cards ;) The time as a family (outside of the airplane) was quality and so needed, but being back is good - back to work!

Roni & Brittany: Tearing it up in Santa Barbara!

March 5, 2010

in Engagements

First, we established some trust by asking Roni and Britt to stand in the middle of the road “I got your back!”

WATCH OUT FOR THE CAR

Then, we bought them two houses to start their life off right!

All jokes aside, we got pretty deep for this photo:

Curbside love! Good times on the curb

Look at that bling bling!

Eyes are most beautiful in love:

Love these shots!

This ocean view was a special place for these two, and it was the perfect end to the shoot!

A huge high five goes out to Roni and Brittany! We can’t wait to shoot your wedding – it’s going to be amazing!
