Summertime | The August Break

We took a quick trip down to Port Aransas on the Texas coast a couple weekends ago. I took along my Holga camera.

Texas Hill Country | The August Break

We recently got to spend a weekend with friends out at the cabins where we got married on the San Gabriel River in Liberty Hill, Texas. I had just found a vintage Diana camera (from the '60s probably) on eBay, and I took it along to capture some images. There is still a little water in poor drought-stricken Texas as you can see... just a little bit.

Puppy Love | The August Break

I'm using today's August Break photo post to share our sweet rescue pups' faces with you, and to tell the Central Texans and Austinites among you how to find your own new furry friend this hot August weekend!

• This Friday, Austin Humane Society is trying to beat the heat by adopting out the first 107 animals for FREE! Dogs, cats, kittens -- all FREE as part of their 107 Degrees of Love Event from 12pm - 7pm! Don't miss out!
• Free adoptions at Austin Pets Alive! on Saturday!
• Free adoptions at Humane Society of Williamson County on Saturday, too!

Holga Airstream | The August Break

We're getting married!

In just a few short days on Saturday, October 2nd, we will be getting married before the sunset in Liberty Hill, Texas, on the banks of the San Gabriel River!

I am trying to finish up work, scurry about for last-minute preparations, and crafts, and rest up. Only me and my terrible timing... I actually came down with strep throat and a respiratory infection just days before our wedding! What a week it's been!

But today, which cheered me up immensely, our lovely photographer, Heather Curiel, sent me the tintypes I took with her a couple of weeks ago. I am so excited! In case you don't know much about tintypes, you can read more here. They are a style of primitive photography from the mid-1800s. I don't want to give away too much before the wedding, but here is a sneak peak. I'll talk to you again in a couple of weeks! All the best!

Forgive me for oversharing...

...but I just got a sneak peak of our engagement photos we took last Saturday with Heather Curiel.
I LOVE them!

Happy Easter!

I hope you all had a fantastic Easter weekend filled with wonder... friends... and sugar!
