{austin wedding} Kifany + Matt: A Sneak Peek

Where’s the old international policy which mandates all wedding photographers receive an in-home massage the morning after any big event? I know it’s Tuesday night, but better late than never!

I had the great pleasure of photographing Kifany + Matt’s wedding at the Umlauf Sculpture Garden and W Hotel this past Saturday. You may remember them from an engagement session we did this past fall.  Kif, ever the stunner, donned a Vera Wang dress  which looked freshly picked from the runway amongst a garden of pretty petaled pieces. Wouldn’t you agree?

The lovely couple took off to Kuaui this morning for their honeymoon and I wish them lots of sun, sand, and more pretty dresses. xo!

 

How the Mega-Million Jackpot Will Not Change My Life

I know my 2012 wedding season is just getting off to a start but let’s set the record here. One thing’s for sure- Powerball win or loss, I plan to continue my career as a wedding photographer for the remainder of 2012 {and for as long as you pretty people allow me}! And $5,000 to each of my loyal fans, followers, and readers.

Back to reality. Tonight I got to hop aboard the Lake Austin Riverboat to cover the rehearsal dinner cruise of my dear clients, Kifany and Matt. I had a wonderful time getting to meet some of tomorrow’s guests and most importantly I managed to survive a record setting three hours on the boat without getting seasick like the last time!

Time to {fret over what to wear} rest up for tomorrow’s long day.

10 Days of Sharing: Mommy Playdate Cards

Tonight, accompanied by my bridesmaids, Kelley and Rebecca, I attended a private tasting at Cork & Co, “Sip With A Sommelier”, where we were greeted with sparkling wine & a pair of Michele Leiser Designs earrings. The night only got better as we launched obvious relish in two different Riojas, a Granache, an Albariño and a port.  Each wine was paired with goodness – notably the chocolate cake balls with gorgonzola cheese. I think that after tonight I may have to forgo sugary confection until Christmas morning. It looks like Santa can keep his milk and cookies after all.

 

Speaking of all things social, we made friends with a little family at Whole Foods last week and because I ran out of business cards, we had to go the traditional route of pulling out cell phones to exchange information. Inspired by this impromptu dinner and meeting, I thought what better way to arrange Operation Wear Out Tot than with chic Mommy Cards? No more digging for a cell phone or piece of scrap paper while a child makes a beeline for the parking lot. A must have for busy parents without looking too please-talk-to-me-again-I-need-adult-interaction-outside-of-home-or-I-may-go-stir-crazy. Not that I ever feel that way. Nope. And for kids like Tulsi with an entrepreneurial spirit and endeavor to start his or her first business by age five, these can be used as business cards for wee execs, too.

Basic Photoshop skills required, however I am happy to help the first 10 moms with file set up . Send me your photo to info at ziemphotography dot com. To download the free template: Get Your Jingle Bells Ringing Right
