2011 – Year in Review – Austin Wedding Photographer – Daniel C. Photography

Danny — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 22:45:57 +0000

Wow! 2011 was a really amazing year! I had some seriously fun shoots, and worked with some absolutely wonderful couples. I am still so pleased by the fact that I have such a fun job, and I am in love with what I do. I sincerely hope that it comes through in each and every photograph that I capture. Like last year, it was really difficult to narrow down to the best of the best, because every shoot and every wedding holds so many ‘favorites’ that I include on my blog. So, if you will bear with me, I narrowed it down to around 100 photos again this year, to highlight my 2011. I continue to be grateful for all of the relationships I’ve developed, the people I’ve had the opportunity to work with, and all of the incredibly magical moments that I’ve witnessed. Thank you all for your unfailing support! Here’s to an even better 2012! Peace and love.

Engagements

It’s all about you, your love, and it’s about me getting to know you too! Here are my favorite engagement photos from 2011. From simply sweet, to tastefully stylized, engagement photos should be an expression of your personality.

Bridals

What a fun way to have a trial run with your hair, makeup, flowers, and gorgeous dress. Not every bride decides to have a bridal session, but for those that do, this part’s for you.

Details

I love details! The flowers, the dress, those sexy shoes, and things that sparkle! Yes, please!

The Bride Getting Ready

This is one of my favorite parts of the wedding day. There is so much excitement and nervous energy in the bridal room. Tears flow, laughter erupts, champagne corks pop.

The Groom Getting Ready

Never to be overlooked, the wedding day is as much about the groom as it is the bride. But I can’t tell everything that goes on in the groom’s room. I’ve taken an oath. If I did tell you, I’d have to kill you.

Ceremony

Well, it’s all built up to this moment. The vows, the exchanging of the rings, the symbolism of two becoming one.

Portraiture

I do! Now let’s take some romantic, lovey, sweet, intimate, and romantic photos. Yes, I said romantic twice! I think you get the idea.

The Bridal Party

No wedding is a party unless there is an awesome group of friends to help you celebrate. It’s about having a blast, letting loose, and being there for the bride and groom on their big day.

The Cakes

I haven’t met a cake that I haven’t liked. Or cupcake. or donut. Mmmm….cake.

The First Dance

Here’s your moment. All eyes are on you. Are you going to do it up ballroom style? Classic arm in arm? Or perhaps something choreographed?

Party Time!

The party is jumping, the music is thumping, the drinks are flowing, and people are…jumping in the pool??? Oh heck! Let’s party!!!!

The Grand Exit

It’s your last hurrah! Petals, sparklers, bubbles! Leave ‘em wanting more!

2010 – Year in Review – Austin Wedding Photographer – Daniel C. Photography

Hi there. What a year! Let me just start by saying that I love love my job. I have the good fortune of not only spending some intimate time with couples on the most important day of their lives, but capturing those moments for all of eternity. I have treasured the relationships that have been established with each and every bride and groom over this past year, as well as their families, and their amazing and fun friends. This blog post is incredibly difficult for me to put together, because it has been such a challenge to narrow down 25 weddings, plus bridals and engagement sessions down to less than 100 photos. I approach every single wedding with the same attention to detail, and so the list of photos to chose from is endless. But here are, what I consider to be, the most amazing photos from 2010. My apologies if your favorite isn’t in this posting. The photos I chose simply capture those moments where I looked at my camera after taking the picture and said to myself, “Whoa…did I just take that??” With that said, thank you to each and every one of you for your support in the past year, and expect even better things in 2011! Peace and Love. – Danny

Engagements

From the poses, to the funky angles, to the settings and backdrops, to the creative editing, these are my favorite engagement photos from 2010. Because I had a large number of late-December engagement shoots, those are going to be included in the 2011 year in review.

Bridals

What a fun way to have a trial run with your hair, makeup, flowers, and gorgeous dress. Not every bride decides to have a bridal session, but for those that do, this part’s for you.

Details

I’m a sucker for details. Give me some fun or sexy shoes, a gorgeous dress, some amazing flowers, and some rings with bling, and I’m like a kid in a candy store.

The Bride Getting Ready

This is one of my favorite parts of the wedding day. There is so much excitement and nervous energy in the bridal room. Tears flow, laughter erupts, champagne corks pop.

The Groom Getting Ready

Never to be overlooked, the wedding day is as much about the groom as it is the bride. But I can’t tell you what goes on in the groom’s room. I’ve taken an oath. If I did tell you, I’d have to kill you.

The First Look

Ahh, the first look. I’m a big big fan. Sure it’s a break in tradition. But you get to see each other and get those emotions out. Capture an amazing moment. Retouch your makeup. Get those formal pics out of the way. Then, there’s no pause between your ceremony and reception. I don’t often get to capture a moment like this in a ceremony. Pure unrestrained joy.

Ceremony

Well, this is what we’ve built up to. The vows, the exchanging of the rings, the symbolism of two becoming one.

Portrait Time

Whew! Now that the ceremony and formals are over, it’s time to celebrate you and your love for each other.

The Bridal Party

What makes my job the most fun is working with an awesome bridal party. No ‘tudes! It’s about having a blast, letting loose, and being there for the bride and groom on their big day.

The Cakes and the Cake Cutting

Mmmm….cake. Or cupcakes. From the sweet and simple, to the towering mouth-watering eye candy, it’s your cake, it should reflect your personalities. Normally, I don’t go out of my way to blog on the cake cutting. But Bea and Peco’s cake cutting, well pardon the expression, took the cake. The reaction as she bit into a styrofoam replica of the World Cup trophy was priceless.

Cool Cars

Because no wedding is truly complete without a sweet ride.

The First Dance

All eyes are on you. Are you going to do it up ballroom style? Classic arm in arm? Or perhaps something choreographed?

Party Time!

The party is jumping, the music is thumping, the drinks are flowing, and the groomsmen are…uh…ahem…taking their shirts off. Bring your props, bring your best dance moves, and bring your air guitars! Let’s party!!!!

The Grand Exit

Sparklers, bubbles, petals, streamers, confetti. Go out big!
