James and Nicole – Cathedral Oaks Engagement Photos

January 28, 2019 by Andrew Fritz

The wedding day is a pretty busy affair. There is a schedule to keep, guests to serve, and a whole mess of other logistics to manage (a good planner is your friend!). Photography is important, but it has to slot into the schedule. Engagement photo sessions don’t have any of those complications. They give us time to have a little fun and for everyone to let their hair down (or put it all the way up). That freedom let us make some really fun Cathedral Oaks engagement photos for Nicole and James.

Cathedral Oaks Engagement Photos

Sometimes our engagement photos take us far afield. We stayed closer to home for Nicole and James, specifically in Belton, TX. Their wedding was going to be at Cathedral Oaks and they loved the towering oak trees. As soon as their engagement photo session kicked off, I realized that Nicole and James are wacky fun.

They had a great chemistry and pretty much riffed off each other the entire session. James even got tackled by Nicole at one point…

Why yes, we will climb a tree and snuggle in it…

Engagement Photos Under the Stars

After spending sunset at Cathedral Oaks, we headed a little south to the the San Gabriel river in Jonah. This is a local fishing and swimming spot during the summer. The river flows over a flat limestone bed. Most places it is inches deep, and it runs still unless there has been recent rain. That means reflections. Add a dose of Texas stars and, well, see for yourself.

With a little bit of wading through ankle deep water (not to mention careful foot placement) you can get out into the center of the river. Mist was rising off the water thanks to the cooler fall temperatures.

Did I mention that Nicole and James like to have fun and are a little nerdy? We got along really well. 🙂

Fun geeky star wars inspired fun during an engagement session under the stars. James holds a toy light-saber and Nicole has a prop blaster.

A little quick work with a drill and some battery powered Christmas lights gave us a light up light saber. Nicole borrowed one of my prop-pained blasters.

These aren’t the most elaborate cos-play photos (or even cos-play at all) I’ve ever made, but they are a lot of fun.

Austin and Meagan’s Old Fashion Wedding

January 14, 2019 by Josh Baker

There is something special about a small town country church. Austin and Meagan had their old fashion wedding at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Denhawken, Tx. Their wedding harkened back to a time when weddings weren’t about flash and glitz, but just about the couple and their friends and family. The historic church was the perfect place for an old fashion wedding.

Lots of places try to duplicate or emulate the texture that a long history gives you, but there is nothing like the real thing. The old sign for the church is a wonderful reminder of a century of worship at this church, with countless weddings. Marraige can be scary, and like so many things in life, no one gives you a manual. Just knowing that thousands of other couples came before you in a place, and were married, is reassuring. A church like this would have been the hub of the community. It’s nice to see it serving that function still.

St John’s is a tiny country church built to serve a very sparse community of farmers in the area. The building is a beautiful timber-frame structure and made a wonderful setting for their intimate wedding.

Austin and Megan’s old fashion wedding service was very touching in the small church. Rather than separating them from their guests, the tiny space brought everyone together. Austin and Meagan started their life together in an intimate setting with their closest family and friends.

Anyone that grew up in South Texas knows that the skies here can put on a show. The land is flat, broken only by the occasional oak trees. Stormy skies during the mid afternoon often means a dramatic sunset.

Old Fashion Wedding Reception

There is beauty in simplicity. We see a lot of couples go to a lot of work crafting their receptions. That’s great, but it can be a distraction, and in some cases you can see that stress keeping them from being fully present in the moment.

Austin and Meagan went the polar opposite of the elaborate, highly managed route. They had a simple reception in the church’s banquet hall. Like their wedding, it was an intimate affair focused on them without all the fan fair some seem to want. There was almost nothing to distract the couple from each other and the commitment they had just made.

Serving each other cake is one of those old fashion traditions that has a lot of fun potential. Some couples are very polite, but Meagan apparently took offense at how she was served cake, and let Austin know it.

Big Texas Skies

Their wedding and the church was out in the fields of south central Texas, just outside Stockdale. There were stormy skies all day and the sunset did not disappoint. We stepped out of their reception for a little sunset wedding portrait action.

Haley and Hunter – A Cathedral Oaks Wedding

December 17, 2018 by Josh Baker

Haley and Hunter love the outdoors so the soaring oak canopies of Cathedral Oaks made the prefect setting for their wedding. Their ceremony was held outside just after sunset with family and friends gathered around under the oak trees. Haley and Hunter’s evening Cathedral Oaks wedding was beautiful.

It’s hard to argue with a canopy of beautiful green oak trees. The deep and lush green color offset the warm red sash and orange colors of Haley’s bouquet. When you have a beautiful bride, and a beautiful location, bridal portraits are easy.

Haley and Hunters Cathedral Oaks wedding started just after sunset. In some ways, that makes the photographer’s job tougher, but in others it helps. The low ambient light level let us bring out the glow from the main ball room at Cathedral Oaks.

Cathedral Oaks Wedding Reception

First dances can be really special. They are one of the few “alone” moments a couple has on their wedding day, even if there is a crowd watching them. They get a chance to get close and have a moment together.

Cake cutting is one of those things that just about everyone does. Some couples do it special. The look on Hunter’s face gave us a pretty good indication that he knew what was coming.

Cathedral Oaks is one of our favorite wedding venue’s to work with. Not only is the outside space beautiful, with its towering evergreen oak trees, but they have set the entire venue up perfectly for weddings. Wedding run smooth, backgrounds are beautiful and the staff is extremely competent and professional.

Tracy and Miles in New Braunfels

December 3, 2018 by Josh Baker

It’s always fun to return to the old stomping grounds. I grew up in Seguin, playing along the Guadalupe river in New Braunfels. It is always nice to come home to photography a Seguin wedding ceremony at First United Methodist Church and a New Braunfels wedding reception at The River Venue. We had a blast returning to our old home stomping grounds for Tracy and Miles’ wedding.

Anyone from Seguin has seen 1st United Methodist. It sits on Austin street just north of downtown Seguin and it’s a fixture in the community. The inside to 1st United Methodist is pretty spectacular as small churches go with a lot of stained glass, high ceilings and a large organ above the alter. The church made a great backdrop for Tracy and Miles’ big day.

Guadalupe River Wedding Portraits

Tracy and Miles’ reception was held at The River Venue along the Guadalupe river in New Braunfels. The venue, as you might guess from the name, is along the Guadalupe river with great west views. We stepped out during the reception for some quick sunset wedding portraits.

This July in Texas was pretty dry. We had a little bit of orange glow, but no clouds to give us a spectacular sunset. Instead we had some fun with a little smoke.

New Braunfels Wedding Reception

After the wedding ceremony in Seguin, everyone made the short drive to New Braunfels for the wedding reception at The River Venue along the Guadalupe. It’s a very warm and inviting space full of natural wood with a deck and lawn along the river.

Chris and Samantha – A Chapel Dulcinea Elopement

November 5, 2018 by Andrew Fritz

One thing we love is being the photographer for multiple family member’s weddings. Chris is the little brother of one of our brides, Stacy from a few years back. As with other multi-wedding families, its amazing how different each wedding is. Samantha and Chris took advantage of Chapel Dulcinea‘s free wedding chapel for their Chapel Dulcinea elopement and they only wanted photography of their ceremony and formal portraits. We showed up to document the most important part of their wedding day.

Lest you think Chris and Samantha weren’t excited about pictures, remember their soaked engagement session from earlier in the year.

There is something really wonderful about being a part of a wedding service, even from the outside. Services like this are full of genuine emotions and touching moments. Their simplicity serves to highlight the couple and the lifelong commitment they are making to each other.

Formal wedding photos can be stressful if not handled right. Everyone has to be wrangled into one location, posed, etc. We always try to make them fun and fast so the wedding party can get on with enjoying their big day. In this case, it was easy. Everyone was in such high spirits and it shows through in the pictures.

Once we finished the pictures of all the guests, we took a little time to make portraits of Chris and Samantha.

We work fast, but we also try to make the couples portraits relaxing. They are a chance for the couple to have a few minutes together “off stage” between their service and reception.

Chapel Dulcinea’s location south-west of Austin puts it in the hill country. The chapel can face great sunsets if the weather cooperates. With the overcast skies there wasn’t a sunset. We chose to use the path leading to the chapel for a nice portrait of the couple.

Danny and Caitlin’s Downtown Georgetown Halloween Engagement

October 29, 2018 by Andrew Fritz

Danny and Cat’s downtown Georgetown Halloween engagement is a great example to what Georgetown has to offer.  I had a hard time picking which engagement photos to include in this blog. There were a lot of favorites. The couple were bursting with great energy, and it showed in their photos.  They lucked out this evening with a spectacular sunset, with amazing colors and the perfect amount of clouds.

The Old Church

Danny and Cat own (and started) Sincerely Yours 1848 (SY48) just off the Georgetown square. It’s a cute boutique shop with unique clothes and gifts. Immediately next door is one of Preservation Georgetown’s Grace Heritage Center, housed in he historic Grace Episcopal Church.

The historic church is right in the middle of downtown Georgetown, surrounded by buildings and cars. With a little judicious use of shooting angle and lens selection I kept out those distractions.

Union on 8th Engagement Photos

Our second stop was the front wall of Union on 8th. Union on 8th is an old automotive garage turned wedding venue. We’ve shot weddings there before and the inside is funky and cool. Today we just made use of their distressed blue doors and cool metal wall.

VFW Park

We strolled though the old residential district near downtown (stopping to take a few photos along the way) and eventually ended up at VFW park along the San Gabriel river. It provided wide open skies to take advantage of the glowing orange sunset.

Monument Cafe

After sunset at the park we strolled back towards the Georgetown square and made a stop at the historic Monument Cafe. It’s a super cool art deco style building with in neon lights and a nice beer garden seating area.

Danny and Cat told me that Halloween was their favorite holiday so we ended up in the back courtyard of their shop with a selection of victims. They went to work and I photographed.

Mike and Kathie – A Palm Door on 6th Wedding

October 22, 2018 by Josh Baker

A lot of our recent wedding blogs have involved old running friends of mine. Mike is a long time friend from my days as a corporate drone and we trained and ran the 2006 San Diego marathon together. When Mike and Kathie decided to get married we were honored to be their wedding photographers. They had a Palm Door on Sixth wedding ceremony and reception, but before that, lets talk about wildflowers.

Spring Flowers at McKinney Falls

Mike and Kathie live out of town but had their wedding here because this is where most of their friends and family live. We didn’t get to do an engagement shoot, but we did set aside the day before the wedding for some fun pictures in the wild flowers at McKinney Falls.

Luckily the Texas wild flowers were still going strong in April. Their matching pink outfits, went perfectly with the yellow flowers and green of Texas in the spring time.

Flowers for Days

Kathie loves flowers. They were an important part of the wedding for her. We always try to highlight the things that are important to the couple. The Palm Door on Sixth wedding hall was decked out in so many beautiful bouquets it’s hard to know where to start. Their focal point was a large flower chandelier.  Valerie Wolf of Davy Gray did and amazing job with all the flowers.

Cheyenne and Wesley’s Sunset Wedding at TerrAdorna

September 17, 2018 by Andrew Fritz

Cheyenne and Wesley had a classy Texas style TerrAdorna wedding in Manor. As often happens in June, there were dramatic thunderstorms circling. Luckily they didn’t do anything more than provide a dramatic backdrop for the couple’s special day.

TerrAdorna sits on a hill with a great west-north-west views. Their patio makes a beautiful location for a wedding ceremony with the oak trees and especially with a late afternoon thunderstorm in the distance. Whatever the weather, the deck is a great place for a ceremony or a Texas style happy hour.

We always love weddings at TerrAdorna. The weather is the big variable. Sometimes you come up double rainbow and other times dramatic stormy skies. Regardless the lower deck is always beautiful and the interior space pleasant. With the walls opened up guests can spread out onto the upper deck. Everyone feels right at home.

From the surprise of engagement through the excitement of your wedding day, we deliver images and video that stands the test of time, and offer a glimpse into the lives of our subjects both as individuals and as a couple. AzulOx preserves your special moments on both film and video, allowing you to bring your memories life over and over again.

We routinely photograph and video Austin weddings, Georgetown weddings, Round Rock weddings, Temple weddings, Driftwood weddings, Kyle weddings, and Dripping Springs weddings. We can travel nation and world wide for destination weddings. We have recently visited Los Angeles, New Orleans, Port Aransas, India and Denver for weddings.
