Pure Austin Bridal Photography for Jessica

Classic Austin Bridal Photography suited Jessica perfectly. She’s a beautiful woman with a sweet southern personality and burnt orange coursing through her veins. She wanted a combination of classic bridal portraits with some modern bridal photography to express her personality. We started at the Downtown Austin Hilton hotel where she would be having her wedding. Then we moved on to the University of Texas South Tower. Finally we ended with some modern country bridal photos at the Broken Spoke. Check out Jessica and Ryan’s Engagement photos here and come back next week to see their Lockhart wedding photography and reception photography at the Austin Hilton. Hook ‘Em Horns!

Coca-cola, a bride in boots and the American flag. Doesn’t get more ATX than that, folks!

Pure Austin Engagement Photography for Jessica and Ryan. Hook ‘Em Horns!

Austin engagement photography was SO appropriate for this very Austin couple. Like Sae and I, Jessica and Ryan even scheduled their wedding so as not to interfere with football season. Burnt orange in their veins and southern sweetness in their hearts. Even their puppy was in the spirit, love the Longhorn jersey. Come back to check out Jessica’s Pure Austin Bridal Photography and their Pure Austin Wedding Photography. Hook ‘Em!

I tried to make this one look like a black and white newspaper engagement announcement photo.

Yes, that is the ‘Hey Cupcake’ airstream trailer on Congress.

One-2-One Austin Bar Downtown After Party for Karissa and Mike

They just weren’t done partying yet! And who could blame them? So we decided to tag along to the One-2-One Bar in downtown Austin for the after party. We had a great time catching these candid photographs as everyone unwound after Karissa and Mike’s wedding. Even the weather cooperated!


So, one time Sae Cho and I came across a comment about us on the internet that we found amusing. Someone in a forum told a potential client that we must be new photographers because some of our photos were so grainy. As a rule, we don’t tend to pay attention to criticism online unless it is something we can learn from (and we are all for learning all the time). But that comment gave us a good laugh. FYI, these photos are intentionally black and white and grainy. It’s a definite style choice that we feel fits the ambience. We work very hard to look this amateurish :)

Rainy Day Wedding Photography at Mayfield Park for Karissa and Mike

Buoyant, Beautiful and Romantic. It would take more than a rainy day at Mayfield Park to dampen the joyful spirits of Karissa and Mike on their wedding day. The rain let up just long enough for this couple to get married under a tent outside and pose for all of their formal photos. It made for a gorgeous scene, too. The rain really captured the natural beauty of the park. And as you can see, Karissa and Mike were so wrapped in love, the rain hardly seemed to matter. We did end up coming back to Mayfield Park to shoot a Day After Wedding Photography session (though it was actually after the honeymoon). Come back and check out their photography after session next week.

Karissa’s sister gave one of the best toasts I have ever heard. There wasn’t a dry eye in the house. Including mine :)

A San Antonio Wedding and the Sheraton Gunter Hotel for Adriana and Santiago

Colorful, Fun, Traditional and Classic. This San Antonio wedding started at the First Mexican Baptist Church and ended at the Sheraton Gunter Hotel in downtown San Antonio. The bride and groom, Adriana and Santiago, are bright, spiritual and fun-loving people. They even included the traditional “Vibora de la Mar” in their festivities. It was the first time we had seen this wedding game and it was SO much fun to photograph. You really should check out their San Antonio engagement photography and Adriana’s Sheraton Gunter Bridal photography here. It will help you get to know this truly unique and beautiful couple. It was a pleasure and a privilege to be their wedding photographers. Sae and I at Cho Photography wish Mr. and Mrs. Vasquez a lifetime of love and laughter!



I love the sly smile Adriana gives her bridesmaids before she says her vows :)

A little in-camera zoom action. I like the feeling it gives of making world look like it is moving around the couple as they begin their life together. Though other photographers out there know it is often hard to get.

And here they go with the ‘Vibora de la Mar’…
