Happy Father's Day! - personal - Austin Wedding Photographer by Melanie Grizzel

cooking with the kids, fathers day Since B was born I always wanted to introduce him to cooking in the kitchen with Mama. It's one of my most favorite things and I think he would like it too. He really likes to eat. So we started off with sifting flour, he thinks sifting flour from a height of about 2 feet looked "pretty," then we segued into stirring which was a hit, but then the train jumped the track when he decided to eat the pancakes dry ingredients.

B has been going through a particularly whiney period and it's been driving Mommy and Daddy up a wall. But when you get a little of this, albeit fleeting, it's almost worth it. I said almost.

Then we woke Daddy up and brought him his breakfast and gifts.

Then the day turns back into Bishop Day, like every other day.

Meejin -N- Jay - A Barr Mansion Wedding - Austin Wedding Photographer by Melanie Grizzel

Bride and Groom at BArr Mansion Meejin and Jay's perfect-but-not-fussy wedding at Barr Mansion. It was stunning and also comfortable, low key. During their first look, Meejin's grandpa was walking out of the restroom and made it into some of their first look shots. Meejin was hysterical. I love that! Let your day be your day!  It was one of the loveliest weddings I have ever had the pleasure of photographing. Single stem flowers in several different vases of varying colors and sizes from Stems floral, the groomsman in mixed-matched vintage snap button shirts with suspenders, table assignments painted on panes of window glass, and Meejin hand-painted their cake topper. Wow!

You might remember them from their animal-loving engagement session at the Austin Zoo.

End of an Era - Personal - Austin Wedding Photographer by Melanie Grizzel

Austin Family Photographer Today is the day Patty and Jim Howe (my husband's parents) sign the deed away to their home of 33 years on Guava Avenue in Seal Beach, CA. Later this month, they will become Austinites. My husband grew up in this house on Guava. We went back in May to say goodbye to the house, and strangely it wasn't as hard as we thought it would be. Steve says "the house has been changed so much, it's not the house where I grew up anymore."

I have been with my husband for 10 years and I remember meeting my MIL for the first time in that house. It is the same house to me, most of those changes were made by the time I came into their lives. I have so many memories in that house. I remember the drive from the airport to their house the very first time I ever went to CA, specifically the vegetation. When we got there I was beyond thrilled with my MIL's garden. Flawless. Patty and I had many glasses of wine while we sat in the garden and learned all about each other.  We had wine and chatted while we made meals together or pruned the garden and chatted. We did a lot of chatting.

Now I have a whole flood of memories coming back to me... I remember coming home from Brad and Anna's wedding, for no particular reason, I just remember that night as being something special. My bridal shower was a year or so later, held across the cul-de-sac at Holly's house. Patty's four best girlfriends Holly, Lois, Katharine, and Ginny got together and created an amazing wedding shower for us. After our wedding in NY, Patty threw us a reception in the backyard with all of her cousins and close friends from CA who couldn't trek to New York. While my husband did a show in NY, I went to stay with my in-laws for a week alone for his cousin's wedding. Patty and I had a great time!  There was the wedding, but also the small dinner party we threw for Grandma Peggy and Kitty in the backyard. It was an awesome night, though maybe we had a little too much wine!  We over-cooked the pork loin and completely cremated the vegetables and Kitty asked, "where are those gorgeous veggies I saw on the counter?".  And as if it were on queue, Disneyland's fireworks started firing. Amazing night!  The next year we went for Thanksgiving and the dining room was a little small for everyone so we folded out a couple of kids tables (mind you most of us are in our mid-30's already). It was at that dinner that we discussed our readiness to have a baby and within months of that chat, Brad and Anna announced their pregnancy and within 3 months of them, we announced the same. B has been to CA several times since he was born: once for Christmas and many little trips here and there, including Grandma Peggy's memorial in 2009.

The things I'll miss most about that house and Southern California?  The weather.  That glorious weather!  The way the air feels in the morning blowing through those curtains in the guest room. Coffee and the paper in the breakfast nook. The Beach. The flowers, all the colors.  The fountain and the smell of the backyard. Ralphs. In-N-Out (duh). Red Vines. The way you feel when you set down your luggage. Walks around the neighborhood. Grandma Peggy's beach house homeyness. Now it's Brian and Janet's house and it's just as comforting to be there. I'll miss seeing Kyle and Kelsi so much, I've known them since they were in Jr High. Brian and Janet, Steve's crazy hilarious aunt and uncle, I will miss them very much too.

Over the course of the last week, Patty and Jim have collected and packed all of these amazing memories into boxes for storage, while they make their way to Austin and a new life. A life that includes watching Baby Bishop growing up on a daily basis. She'll make all new friends and find new organizations, buy a new house to make all new memories. She and Jim have never lived more than one hour from where they live right now. Her Women's Club friends have been with her for 40+ years. She is passing it all up for B.  He better be a good boy.  No more toilet brush eating kid.  The pressure is on for sure!

Kelly -N- Jeff Married! - Inn at Wild Rose Hall - Austin Wedding Photography by Melanie Grizzel

Austin Bridal Extravaganza Kelly and Jeffrey met while she was tending bar in Washington DC and attending school. She vowed she would not date a customer, but slipped him her number on a CC receipt and the rest is history. They currently live in the Bay area. They chose to have a wedding in Austin, Tx because she has family here.

It was important to them to leave a small carbon footprint so she used all locally-sourced vendors. Including hand-picking wild flowers from a Arnosky Wildflower Farm. Their entire vegan menu and cupcakes came from Green Island Catering. They also wanted to work with local woman-owned businesses The Inn at Wild Rose Hall and She-N-He among them.

New! Float Wrap - Austin Wedding Photographer by Melanie Grizzel

destination wedding photographer Introducing She-N-He's new Float Wrap.

Its an awesome way to display your photographic works. Your images are printed on canvas and wrapped around masonite to create a thin wrap. Then the whole thing is mounted on 3/4 inch gator board with holes for hanging. Right out of the box the image is ready for hanging on the wall, all you need now is a nail. And it's lighter and more unique than a matted and framed print. When hung, the images appear to be floating near the wall. It's new and distinctive, why not be the first person you know to display one!

This one happens to be a 16x24 inch print. They also come in 20x30 inch.

If you book a wedding with She-N-He for a date landing between June 15, 2011 and Leap Day '12 (February 29, 2012) we'll make one of these amazing Float Wraps in the 20x30inch size for FREE! that is a $425 value.

If you are a recently passed bride, let us know you'd like this for your home, and we'll make one for you for 1/2 price - $212.

Betsy -N- Tommy - Vista on Seward Hill - Austin Wedding Photographer by Melanie Grizzel

Tommy Blank Wedding Vista on Seward Hill There was never any question about how Betsy and Tommy feel about each other it's plastered in those sweet smiles. Tommy looks at Betsy like every girl dreams to be seen. Smitten, both of them. I was so happy to be a part of their big day. Congratulations to you and your families!

Betsy and Tommy came as a recommendation from our dear friend Leah Muse from The Life You Love Photography Tommy and Leah's husband are in a local band called Quiet Company, they're so great, you should have a listen. Did I further mention their wedding was on April 9th and I just recently changed my CD from their wedding mix, which was outstanding!

Their wedding was at Vista on Seward Hill. A rather new wedding location. I really love it, I can't wait to work there again!

Tuna Fest! 2011 - Austin Special Event Photography by Melanie Grizzel

private chef Last year we had the honor of working with Brandi and Lee Barnwell for their wedding at the Barr Mansion. We were a perfect fit from the start, we had a great time together even from our first meeting. Then we became quite good friends with them. They met in culinary school and Lee went into a sushi restaurant right away while Brandi followed her passions into the pastry and sweets department. Lee works for a pretty popular Sushi restaurant here in Austin where a small gorup of groupies have gathered, well they snatched Lee up and a 50lb Tuna and brought them home. We were invited to this little soiree, I know, lucky us! The food was amazing and so was the wine, ambiance and company! We can't wait for next year.

Thanks for having us guys.

Flash forward, Tim proposes to Miss DuBois in May and now it's Megan's turn for a portrait session. She chose a fishing themed engagement session.

Amanda -N- Jason - A Skype Elopement - Austin Wedding Photographer by Melanie Grizzel

  skyped elopement at The Inn at Wild Rose Hall

I recently had someone ask me why we didn't do any sneak peeks! Well, I'll tell you, I get so excited about the weddings I photograph, I find it almost impostible to narrow down to a few images the entire feeling of a whole wedding. And this, with only 5 participants was no exception. Amanda and Jason are so lovely they just wanted to have this special moment all to themselves. It was beautiful, barely any technical difficulties as they Skyped their elopement to a completely surprised room full of relatives in WI. There is no telling at this time as they make their way back to WI what their wrath will be. But on Sunday at The Wild Rose Inn in Austin, Tx, there was nothing but romance in the air.

I'm so happy for your guys. Congratulations!

Keri was a doll. Everywhere I went, all of the wait staff and other vendors just kept going on about how unbelievably sweet Keri was. Yeah she was. She was charming and completely adorable. Love her! Justin was albeit a little shy ;) We had such a nice day at The Vinyards of Florence, the weather was perfect. Shawna was a dream to work with, thanks so much for all of your help. We also had the pleasure of working with Petal Pushers once more. Wow, great work! Their work is always tight and romantic, I love it. Steve from Southern Fine Dining, yum, the food was delicious! Keri and Justin are leaving today to go to the Dominican Republic. jealous.

Happy Honeymooning!

Brandi Barnwell - Austin Portrait Photographer by Melanie Grizzel

 austin portrait inspirationI was editing a wedding we photographed last spring, last spring... don't panic. I tend to find inspiration in things I've already photographed and this was no exception. I found an image of a young girl with a happy smile sans toothy grin. I was so taken with it I printed it and hung it on my inspiretion wall for further exploration. Then I was recently challenged to make new work and I put a team together and created this. It's meant to marry the image I love,  and the color profile of Anthropology. Here we are, enjoy. More to come if I can find the right models and get our team back together for 5am weekday calls. dress shop austin
