In March 2020, I photographed a wedding (shocking I know hehe). I’d like to think that if I had known it was the final wedding I’d shoot for 3 months, I would have slowed down and soaked in the experience a bit more.

COVID-19 definitely ranks number 1 on “biggest challenges for a wedding photographer” ever. From social distancing practices, to wedding rescheduling, this has really put a strain on the entire industry, which relies on gatherings of friends and family. As eager as I am to get back to work and get back to working the best job in the world, I recognize the importance of these sacrifices and my official position is to follow whatever the WHO and the CDC recommend. It’s not easy to see, but I want to assure everyone that following these guidelines gives people more precious time with their immunocompromised loved ones.

Okay, so back to the wedding. It was …. AMAZING. Of all the venues I could shoot at in Austin, Villa Antonia ranks pretty high on my list of “Prettiest Venues around Austin.” If you’re in the market for a wedding venue in the area, I highly recommend you check them out. And of all the couples I could photograph, I feel like Haley & Jason also rank pretty high on my “Easiest Couples to Work With” list (I should mention all of these lists are hypothetical hehe). They’re warm, inviting, and just a lovely couple to be around. And their absolute trust in me to grab the images I needed was just a breath of fresh air and very much needed right now.

Okay, enough of my ramblings, onto my favorite images from that day. Be sure to follow me on Instagram for more images and stories!
