I first met them last October or something like that. I hit it off with Jay and Hayley as soon afterwards. Jay is a fellow IT professional and University of Texas employee and Hayley is a long-time, die-hard, Clemson Longhorn fan! Hookem Horns! Both of their families are awesome. They are a great couple and I was proud to shoot their wedding. Too bad they moved almost immediately to Atlanta but I wish them well.
The ceremony and reception was at this beautiful spot here in Austin, Villa St. Clair. It’s a fabulous setup, the food is fantastic, and the people are awesome. I highly recommend it if you’re looking for a wedding venue.
Enjoy!

Jason and Natalie | Georgetown Heritage Society & San Gabriel House | Austin, Texas | Wedding Photography
17 Mar 2010So, when Jason left to Boston, he left me an array of servers, services, and jobs to take over. JABBER! He also left me with the job to photograph him and his beautiful new wife, Natalie, at their wedding.
The wedding was a classic wedding in a small chapel (Georgetown Heritage Society) in Georgetown, Texas. The classical music, stained glass mosaics, and intimate setting made for an awesome ceremony. This was the perfect place to shoot beautiful photos for a wedding.
We left there and headed a less than a mile west to The San Gabriel House Bed and Breakfast for the reception. The Texas weather made for a rough Spring but this was still a beautiful place. I think the wife and I will need to make reservations.
Oh, and to the cousin of the bride who had the “Something”-D and tried to convert me over to Canon… “Whatever!” Anyway, enjoy the photos!

Ross and Vanessa | The Rose Emporium, Brenham (Independence), Texas | Wedding Photography
14 Dec 2009Thanksgiving weekend: Dallas -> Bryan -> Independence ->Austin ->Waco (to pick up the boys) -> Austin. Facilitate Sunday School in the morning. But it was definitely worth it all! This was a great wedding.
I met Vanessa through a friend of mine. Soon afterwards we took some bridal shots on South Congress here in Austin, Texas with her friends, a stranger’s min pin, random classic cars, and a bunch of firemen. Needless to say Vanessa is a fun gal and her new hubby, Ross, is the perfect laid back match!
The wedding was in Independence, Texas at the Antique Rose Emporium. THIS IS THE SPOT for a wedding. The place is beautiful. The weather was perfect, the couple was beautiful, their families were awesome. A few came from out of the country to this Austin wedding. Best of all… my beautiful wife, Angela (new employee of BHurdle Photography) was there to assist. She even fired the D700!
Rather than a just feature a few of my favorites, I decided to photo blog a post that would show the entire day. Enjoy!

"How long is the drive back to Austin?"
So, I spent Thanksgiving giving thanks in Ft. Worth, Duncanville, and then Richardson. The next morning Angela and I drove to Bryan, Texas. Saturday we started shooting Vanessa and Ross’ wedding in Bryan and ended up at the Rose Emporium in Independence, Texas. The wedding was beautiful, and you’ll get to see those photos soon. But for now, the bridal photography shot in Austin.
Vanessa wanted to do something fun. She got a hold of an old VW Bug she and her friends took it out on Congress. We all met up on South Congress and began our evening of bridal shooting.
We encountered two more interesting vehicles, a miniature pincher, and the firemen of South Congress. She finished the night and ended up in the pie trailer. It was all awesome! I hope you enjoy the bridal photos… I enjoyed taking them.
I was blessed to shoot as a second for Francis Joseph a couple of weekends ago in Austin. Well, the wedding was in Buda and the reception in San Marcos. They were both beautiful. Angie and David are a beautiful couple and I pray they have many wonderful years together.
Again, a special thanks to Francis, an awesome photographer who was great to work with!
FRANCIS!
