Donna and Tenny’s Urban Brisbane WeddingDonna and Tenny It’s always one of my favourite moments- sharing the story of someone I know has read Polka Dot Bride throughout their engagement, has shared snippets and glimpses of their life .

Today’s wedding is of Donna and Tenny. I’ve followed Donna on Twitter for a long time and seen her talk of her wedding plans, from finding a photographer to celebrati...

I’ll be sharing more from this shoot later, but for now, here are some fun shots of the groomsmen doing preppy man things–drinking scotch, smoking pipes, and competing.

Regional Tennis | Austin PhotographerThere’s always something fun to share. Sometimes I get to share amazing new sessions and other times, it’s a bit more personal and unrelated to a session.

We made the trip to Corpus Christi to watch him. Our hope was that they’d fight their way to state, but to our dismay, they lost to the second team they played that day. Thankfully, we were able to go and share the experience. These are just a few pho...
