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.
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 ;)
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!!
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!

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!
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: ...

This may be hard to believe, but this was not a setup! It was nearing the end of the wedding and just as we were taking a couple shots of the bride and groom, this guy Mitch comes out of nowhere and jumps right over the bride and groom.
I guess I should mention that the pictures of the original stunt didn’t come out as well as I wanted – the above shots were taken in the spirit of the classic fauxtojournalistic do-over.

I LOVE this so much. Terry doesn’t even look like he flinches.
faux or not, this is fabulous and yet another example of what sets you two apart from most wedding photographers. Well, that and having a crazy jumping dude named Mitch at the wedding.
nice! real emotions hence a real moment!
this. is. awesome!
