Winfield Inn Wedding Photography : Kathleen & Raul

Like I mentioned before, Raul & Kathleen are definitely my kind of people!  What a wonderful couple.  They got married at The Winfield Inn on April 6, 2014.  It was an unseasonably cool spring day, and just perfect for an all outdoor wedding.  The ceremony took place under the majestic oak trees out front of the mansion, and the reception followed afterwards in the reception pavilion.  The conditions were perfect for portraits as well.  There was an overcast all day, and the lighting was nice and even.  My favorite post-wedding portraits of Raul and Kathleen are the ones that were taken on the far side of the house.  The grass and tree leaves were so green that afternoon!   That is one thing that we do not see a lot of in Austin, TX.    The images just pop right off the screen! The first shot in the wedding day preview was taken right out front of the Mansion.  I placed a speedlight behind Raul and Kathleen and shot to expose for her veil.  The mansion is a little underexposed giving the image a little more drama.  I love shots like that. A little back-lighting is always a god thing! 🙂

Even though the stylized portraits are the images that I tend to feature, there is no substitution for those timeless candid images that tell the story of the day.  It’s those photos that Raul and Kathleen will look back on and cherish for a lifetime.  Every time I take a photo of a moment that can never be reproduced, I get a big smile on my face.  This wedding day preview is packed full of those amazing moments. The Winfield Inn Ladies did a wonderful job with the day of coordinating, and DJ Byrne Rock did an awesome job keeping the dance floor packed.  Enjoy the photos, and please share with your friends and family members!
