I was recently introduced to Sarah Q Photography by Jennifer Nichols of The Nichols. I have the amazing opportunity to work with Sarah Q next year for a wedding Melanie and I are styling and coordinating – so pumped!
That being said, I wanted to share with you all the amazing talent of Sarah Q. Below are excerpts from a wedding in San Antonio (of photographer Jennifer from Bend the Light). I love Sarah’s style and her ability to capture such happiness, personality and the emotion of the moment – after all, isn’t that what weddings are about – complete and total happiness?! The second photo is a-ma-zing, right?
More photos from this wedding available here.
Where do I even begin with this blog post? I cannot draft words that even begin to capture the essence of this imagery, but for Clayton Austin, his love stories are captured both on film and in his written stories on his blog. Captivating and extremely romantic, I have been glued to his website and his tales of true love and passion.
I am absolutely in love with his work. And I absolutely love his honesty, outlook and passion for capturing love on film:
I received a letter once from an old friend. She mentioned that she recently had her heart broke and could only wish to one day find someone that sees her the way that my couples see each other. How would she know when she has found the “one”? Trust me when I say that tender gaze, that almost kiss, does not come without work. There will be joy, there will be pain. I have known both. If you are reading this I want you to know that you are amazing. He is not. And this is my advice to you. Find a boy who calls you beautiful instead of hot. Who calls you back when you hang up on him. Who will lie under the stars and listen to your heartbeat, or will stay awake just to watch you sleep. Wait for the boy who kisses your forehead. Who wants to show you off to the world when you are in sweats. Who holds your hand in front of his friends. Who thinks you’re just as pretty without makeup on. You will know he is the one because he will apologize first even if he feels he was in the right, because being right won’t matter if you go to bed angry. When you tell a joke he will laugh out loud.He will constantly be reminding you of how much he cares and how lucky his is to have found you. He will turn to his friends and say, ‘that’s her.’
This is the bird that my grandfather spoke of. When you find this bird hold onto it but remember to give it room to grow. Room to breathe. Do this together. And when you find him, call me. I want to photograph it.
My name is Clayton Austin. I am just a man and I tend to see things better with my eyes closed.
While this may be the end of this post’s story, fortunately, Clayton continues to capture more love stories and share with the world. All the photos below capture the love Clayton has so eloquently dictated in his response to his friend’s heartache. With much delight, I share his incredible talent.
Many of you have seen our new site, which launched on Tuesday. The site wouldn’t be quite as spectacular if it weren’t for the tremendous opportunity we had to work with photographer Matthew Niemann of Aberdeen Studios. His work is nothing short of phenomenal and we cannot thank him enough for capturing our products with such beauty.
Below is just a snippet of the outstanding work he has done for Maihar Design. Thank you, Matt!
