Adventure Wedding

Emily and Jasper’s Banff Destination Wedding

October 25, 2017 by Andrew Fritz

Emily and Jasper decided they wanted their wedding to be an adventure. It turned into a Banff destination wedding.

We met Emily and Jasper at one of my pre-NAPfS “Camera and Coffee” events a few years back. It didn’t take long for her (and Jasper) to slot into #TeamBlue and start shooting with us. Pretty early on, she mentioned that they were getting married in a couple years and asked:

Would you be willing to go to Denali and do the wedding in the back country?

Uhm, YES! It turns out that Emily and Jasper are exactly our type of crazy.

Fast forward to 2017. Plans changed and we ended up in Banff National Park in Canada instead. Getting to their wedding was a pretty epic road trip including a stop over in the Teton’s for the total solar eclipse and a Bonnie and Clyde “day before” shoot. That story will have to wait for another blog post though.

Banff was unbelievable beautiful. It’s hard to relate just how spectacular a backdrop the mountains are.

Emily and Jasper are both professional photographers. They gave me free reign to set the schedule around the light. We actually did the couples portraits starting at about 6AM (4:30AM call time – yes, they and the wedding party are hard core) with the ceremony afterwards mid morning.

This was a minimalist wedding all about the couple and location. Emily made the small number of DIY details they had and they fit the location perfectly.

After we finished up the sunrise portraits, Emily and Jasper got officially hitched by their friend Greg.

Patty & Kyle: Steampunk Wedding in Bastrop

October 27, 2013 by Josh Baker

SteamPunk Wedding #-2

Like a kid in a candy store. That’s how we felt taking pictures at the super cool Steampunk Wedding of Patty & Kyle in Bastrop on a cool October evening. Handmade details, costumes worn by all and a beautiful home as the setting for the evening gave us an abundance of riches to photograph. Just scroll through the images to see all of the lovely details of the evening. The gathering place for the evening was the great bonfire where everyone gathered to howl at the moon, trade stories and make a few toasts. We felt transported to another time and place with everyone in their NeoVictorian clothing and a roaring bonfire as the only light outside of the full moon.

Congrats to Patty & Kyle, it was indeed about time and a perfect time was had by all!

Kinetic Romance: Wedding Style Shoot

February 11, 2013 by Josh Baker

TerraStyleWeb#-151

I want to start by talking about our design theme: Kinetic Romance. We wanted to design a style shoot that showcased what a Texas Elegant wedding could be beyond mason jars and burlap. We felt that martini glasses, bauhaus design elements, and a splash of James Bond debonair cool can become elements that you will see in the future of Texas Weddings. As you look through the photographs, notice the bold, dramatic color pairings: Red, Black and Yellow, like a Texas coral snake. Also notice the squared bouquet, I have never seen that before. One last thing to notice is the super cool Photo Wall with cutouts for couples to get photographed in with monogrammed initials and details such as the wedding invitation. How awesome is that! Let me now go into throwing out heaping praise on people and give a backstory into how this shoot came about.

The Kinetic artwork that led to this whole shoot
The Kinetic artwork that led to this whole shoot

I have been waiting to share the photographs from this shoot since the moment I pressed the shutter. We made these photographs for the just released issue of Bliss Bridal Magazine to showcase new ideas and talents in the Central Texas area. The whole genesis of the shoot started from a kinetic sculpture on the grounds of TerrAdorna in Manor, Texas. This whirling, twirling metallic peice of shiny moving art got our heads around the theme of Kinetic Romance. The decisions that followed were based upon and inspired by the artwork. Dory, owner and operator of TerrAdorna, had an idea for a jumping groom to seated bride photograph featuring the artwork and we went off and running from there.

Details Everywhere! Slinky's, Martini Menu's, Red, Black!

To complete the vision we brought in Michelle from Here to Help event planning and worked with Maddie from Bliss. Michelle took our notion and got the caterer, rentals and all the super details to mesh together in completing our vision. Michelle did great work in listening to our intent and turning it into a reality. One of her decisions was to bring in Robin from Gilded Petals . I was apprehensive at first but I had no reason to nervous, because Robin took it to the next level. One of my ideas was a square bouquet, and no one had really seen one before until Robin debuted her red and yellow square masterpiece, I had to stop myself from taking pictures of it all day. Thanks for your work Robin!

We had two great models to work with that day as well, Jenny Lynn Larsen as our bride and Michael Steven Vail as our groom. Michael was kind enough to jump onto the rock island about 20 times in dress shoes and look cool doing it, no easy task. Jenny Lynn just waltzed around looking stunning all day, also no easy task. Jenny Lynn and I have worked together on at least ten projects so to have her there was a nice bedrock to our photographs. We more or less knew what to expect from each other. Michael was new to me, but it won’t be the last time we work together.

Another guy that needs a big shoutout is Matthew from Illussions. He came up with these super cool bright red race-car thrones for our couple to sit on during their long-exposure shots. He also setup a red-chaired lounge for our couple sit and stare and each other on. Furniture pieces like these really pull the shoot together. Also, on the guy list is my assistant Austin, who braved strong winds on a tall ladder while holding an octobox and for being the source behind the cool long exposure shots as well.

Finishing up, I am so overwhelmed with all the people who put in a bunch of hours to get this project off the ground. Thanks to all the vendors who stepped up to the challenge of creating something new! Big thanks to the Bliss Bridal Magazine family for supporting our vision and having such great vendors to work with. For all my brides out there, go check out their magazine and all the hard work they do in bringing you the freshest wedding ideas in Austin.

Bella by Sara Style Shoot: Kiara & Bouquets

November 4, 2012 by Josh Baker

Kiara at Sunset

We had the privelege of working with Bella by Sara Event Floral Design on a styled bridal shoot displaying a few of their new bouquet ideas. Leena with Singar Studios provided the hair and makeup for our bride for the day, Kiara, at a private residence in Dripping Springs. More of these photos will be used in Bella by Sara’s website and marketing in 2013, but we had to show off a couple of these today! Which bouquet is your favorite?

Make sure and check out their work! These are vendors we have worked with repeatedly and love their execution of artistic ideas.

Kaush & Megha – Kolkata, India Wedding – Part 3

May 10, 2012 by Josh Baker

Rose Petal Canon at the exchanging of garlands

As loyal blog followers know, we traveled to Kolkata (Calcutta) India in February to photograph a friend’s wedding. It was quite the whirlwind you might expect as we packed sightseeing, culture shock and a 3 day wedding ceremony into a 4.5 day trip. I have had many requests for these photos and I wanted to share more believe me, but I had to wait until Megha, the bride, arrived stateside out of wishes from the groom. Patience is a good thing though, because now you get to see a wedding unlike one we are accustomed to in the States.

Thanks again to Kaush for inviting me on this cultural journey!

Jeff and Cheri’s day before the Wedding – Race to the Altar Marathon – Warda, Texas

March 19, 2011 by Josh Baker

Finish Today, Start something new Tomorrow!

My friends Jeff and Cheri are trail runners. As such, they put together a trail marathon, half marathon and 5k for family, friends and people of like minds in Warda, Texas today, the aptly named “Race to the Altar Marathon”. Guests were encourage to come dressed up for a white trash wedding. We saw tuxedo t-shirts, top hats, altered-for-running-wedding gowns, and one loin cloth. For this couple, I can’t think of a better way to get in the gettin’ hitched mood, for tomorrow they wed!
