San Angelo Texas Wedding photography

Thanks for stopping by!!! This website might be a little different than you are probably used to, by different, I mean better...  This website has two purposes... 1. to show you some of our wedding and portrait photography and 2. to share a little bit about us. 


We are Colin and Andre'a Feldhaus, wedding photographers that reside in San Angelo, Texas.  You might have guessed it by now, we love taking pictures, but we also love to travel. Combining the two for our jobs can only be described as awesome for us.  



 


Alex and Daniel’s wedding photography {sneak preview}

We have been looking forward to Alex and Daniel’s wedding for almost a year now!  They got married in the Barr Mansion in Austin, Texas.  The venue was spectacular, the food was fantastic, and the wedding was perfect!

We’ll put more photos up later, but here’s a quick snap shot of the evening.

Colin says this picture is one of his favorite wedding shots ever.  He says it reminds him of a fairytale.  What a perfect ending to the perfect day!

No shoving the cake in someone’s face here!  Only the sweetest cutting and feeding ever!

This was a fun photo we took after the ceremony!  We grabbed Alex and Daniel for a few minutes to take some pictures and this old building with the single light was amazing!

We will have much more to post later!  Check back soon!

Kim and Bill’s Wedding – {San Angelo wedding photography}

I seriously don’t even know where to begin with this amazing wedding…  It was all so great!

Bill is a marine and Kim is a nurse.  (Sounds like a good combination to me!)  They also both love motorcycles!  Kim has quite a bit of Hawaiian heritage in her family.  We have never shot a “hawaiian” wedding before, and I must say, I loved it!  It’s always neat when you get to see the culture behind what makes the family turn!  I’ll write more as we go, but for now lets get to some pictures.

Here are some of Kim’s getting ready shots.  I love the lei of flowers that Kim is wearing… and her shoes were just FUN!  (they were purple with sequence on them!)  Her matron of honor, Vanessa, had amazing shoes as well!

We thought the cake topper was perfect.  We also learned that in this hawaiian family, food was important!  We were warned they Kim had a loud family (in a good way) that would cook some amazing food… and there would be plenty of it!  So here are some of the Aunts – I think – that are in the kitchen preparing the feast!  We also took quite a few shots before the wedding of Kim and Bill.

Note on one of the photos below… the flag that was out front of the house!  Another perfect touch.

This whole family had quite a few weather obstacles to deal with.  They had family that wasn’t able to fly in from all the bad weather.  The night before there were high winds and rain.  Thank goodness the tent was grounded before then!  And right before the ceremony was to begin, it started to sprinkle.  We had to rearrange the ceremony from being outside, to inside the tent… at the very last minute!  Of course, everyone pulled it off smoothly and it looked fantastic!

During the ceremony, Kim had her Uncle recite the famous words from “The Princess Bride.”  You know the ones I’m talking about… “Mawriage is what bwrings us together…. Lwove, True Lwove…”  Accent and all, it was hilarious!

And now for the reception…

They hired some hawaiian dancers for the evening.  They did some authentic Hawaiian blessing dances as well as others.  It was quite entertaining to watch.  And as they warned us, there was TONS of food… and it was all AMAZING!  I don’t think I’ve eaten over half the dishes they had!

OK… this was one of the funniest things yet!  I guess one of the Hawaiian wedding traditions is a money dance.  BUT it’s unlike the Texan dollar dance where you pay to dance with the bride or groom.  Here’s how it’s supposed to work.  A person will come up and put a bill in either the bride or grooms mouth (just think about all the money your getting and not all the germs that are going in your mouth!).  The spouse is supposed to kiss the other and grab the money with his/her mouth and then put it in the bag.  Kinda interesting.  But, this family took it to a whole new level!  The family members were coming up and putting the money in all these hilarious places on the bride and groom… down her dress, in his belt… etc.  So as you can imagine, fishing the bills out with your mouth… well, lets just say we took tons of pictures.  It was by far the most funny, unique, and slightly disgusting (only because you put bills in your mouth) tradition i’ve seen.  I laughed the whole time!!!

As you can see above, everyone got to release a butterfly.  It was beautiful to see the fly away.  And below we have the cake cutting.  Lets just say, I’ve never seen a knife quite like this one!  The marine sword was a great touch.

As I said above, this was one amazing wedding!  I loved everything about it, from the food, to the traditions, to the decorations.  You could totally see their personalities brought out in the wedding!  We were honored and privileged to photograph this wedding.  We had a great time and experienced a ton of new things!  Thanks guys!

Georgia’s awesome bridal shoot {san angelo photography}

Now that the wedding has come and gone, we are able to show the pictures of our super fun bridal shoot with Georgia!  One amazing thing about Georgia, is well, besides the fact that she’s simply adorable, she was willing to try some of Colin’s – for a lack of better word - interesting… ideas.  Sometimes his ideas work out and sometimes they don’t.   But, when you have a willing model, most of the time its a success!

Now to some pictures!  These first few were in this crazy fun alley we just stumbled upon during the shoot.  The angles of the walls were fabulous and the ruggedness was perfect for some fun contrast.  And check out those red TOMS!  If you couldn’t tell what a fun and laid back personality Georgia had before now… the shoes should definitely give it away!  (Yes, she even wore them at the wedding!  LOVE IT!)

Not only is Georgia adorable and cute, but she has a stunning side to her as well.  Not too many people can pull off cute and elegant… but this girl can!  And kudos on bringing the fun props!  She brought a few different items that made the pictures more personal and unique to their family!

I wish we could have had hours more on this shoot but we just ran out of time!  The funny part is… it was one of our longest shoots ever!  Thanks Georgia for the great time!

Georgia & Jordan’s Corona, California Wedding photography {sneak peak}

This past Saturday, we photographed the much anticipated Huckabee/Monroe wedding!  We have been looking forward to this wedding for awhile now!  The wedding took place in Corona, CA where Jordan is from.  It is a beautiful city a few miles outside of the LA area.  The actual site for the wedding was spectacular!  It was called Lemonia Grove.  It used to be a lemon grove years and years ago, but a family bought it, renovated it, and did some amazing landscaping.  They somehow imported tons of trees years ago that are not native to the area.  It made for a beautiful settting.  They also had an antique carriage house, that hasn’t been restored or retouched.  That’s where this first picture was taken… in front of the rustic carriage house.

The owner also had an old vintage 1963 corvette stored inside the carriage house.  He offered to take it out for some pictures… so why not!!!

Overall, it was an amazing, fun, and stress-free wedding.  It was very hard for us to narrow all the pictures down to 4 for this sneak peak… so we’ll have LOTS more pictures up soon!

Corpus Christi Texas Wedding Photography

A few weeks back Andre’a and I had the pleasure to hop on down to the beach.  We went to  Corpus Christi, Texas to second shoot for a photographer friend of mine.  Josh Rodriguez was lo0king for a little help with a wedding and we were free. We also happened to want to take a little vacation to the beach. So it was a win, win for both of us. He got his second shooter(s), and we got some super awesome sea food at Doc’s (I would highly recommend it) and a relaxing weekend at the beach. Not only is Josh a super cool great guy, but he is a very talented photographer and it was a pleasure to work with him. Be sure to check out his website at http://joshrodriguez.com/.

The wedding ceremony was held at St. Bartholomew’s Episcopal Church, Corpus Christi.  Kasey and Doug had a beautiful wedding.  Kasey looked like a super model and had amazing shoes!  I will say one great thing about this family.  They had a lot of stressful situations going on besides the wedding… and you would have never known.  I found out that the bride’s sister/maid of honor, was scheduled to have her baby… THE NEXT DAY!  I’m sure she was worn out, but all you saw was a smile on her face!  Kasey was excited to be staying the next to see the new baby!  And if that wasn’t enough her (the maid of honor) house burn down the week before!!! Right before having a baby!  What on earth?!?!  It’s like something you’d hear about in a movie… not in real life!  But you would never have known all that was going on behind the scenes.  They were all able to have a great time and enjoy the day and moment without the worries of the world, right then.  What great examples to live by!  It was quite inspiring to me!

I love this picture so much… I know it is not technically the most creative of pictures, but what they are looking at is amazing.  All the groomsmen/ushers went in and for a present to the groom they placed many, many bets on the Kentucky Derby.  I think they bet close to $500 and all the winnings would go to the groom.  How stinkin’ awesome is that!!! The paper that they are looking at is completely filled with numbers corresponding to the bets.  The guy in the middle is trying to explain everything to the others, but you could tell no one really knew what was bet.

The reception was held at The Courtyard at Gaslight Square, Corpus Christi.  It was a beautiful outdoor courtyard decorated with lights and fountains.  The bride and groom left the reception to a lit up aisle of sparklers to their get-away car.  All in all, it was a spectacular evening and was glad to be apart!

Minnesota Trip: to the erie Lake Superior

Last week we got back from a relaxing trip to Minnesota.  I (Andre’a) have a bunch of family up there that I hardly know and haven’t seen since I was 6 years old.  So, one day we took a day trip to the port town of Duluth… the largest inland port in America. It’s right on Lake Superior… the largest (not frozen) fresh water lake in the world.  It was sunny the whole drive there, until we just headed down the hill to the city.  We noticed right away how foggy it was.  My poor great uncle was apologizing for the fog and weather, but Colin was thrilled that there was fog!  He said it made the pictures more interesting.  The whole day Colin kept telling everyone the fog made everything look “erie” – even though we weren’t on Lake Erie, but Lake Superior.  Gotta love Colin humor!

So here are the “erie” photos of the famous raising bridge on Lake Superior.  It’s a very interesting bridge because it isn’t really a draw bridge.  The whole platform where cars cross actually raises until it’s parallel right under the top of the bridge.  You can see that in the photo where the boat is passing through.

Alex and Daniel engagement photography – San Angelo Texas

We’ve known these two for a little less than a year now.  Alex and Daniel met with us late last summer to talk about wedding photography.  They have shown us a lot about patience and calmness.  Many weddings tend to be a bit stressful to plan, and I know for these two plans have changed multiple times.  Through it all they’ve shown such great attitudes!  All that really matters to them, is in the end, they’ll be together.  It’s actually quite sweet and romantic.

A few weeks ago we took them out for a bit of an engagement shoot.  We had a great time and it made us even more excited to be shooting their wedding.  They had some fabulous ideas as well as putting up with a ton of our ridiculous ones (and of course a few AWESOME ones too)!  Alex and Daniel have great traits to photograph.  Alex has captivating  eyes and Daniel height allows for some fun shots.  We had a very difficult time narrowing down our favorite pictures from this shoot.  There are heaps more, but there just isn’t room for them all!  Hope you enjoy and you’ll definitely be seeing more of these two down the road!

rachel

What to say about Rachel?  Well, for starters she’s an absolute BLAST to hang out with.  If you don’t know who she is, Rachel is a fellow photographer here in the San Angelo area.  Check out her website here at http://www.rachelrussophotography.com.

Anyway, a little known fact:  Photographers can’t really take pictures of themselves (Shocking, I know!).  So we all trade out with each other and take photos when needed.  Not only does Rachel have the most amazing blue eyes, but she also has such fun ideas for photos.  I LOVED her idea of bringing a bag of lemons to juggle with.  The juggling bit didn’t quite work out… but when in doubt, just throw them up in the air (well, that’s what we did anyway)!

Hope you enjoy the pictures!

green photography with some blue

I have noticed that since we’ve had such a nice wet winter and spring, the wildflowers look amazing!  I was practicing and testing out some of my new camera gear and found some amazing spots to take photos.  Here is a picture of some blue bonnets I founds as well as some green grassy areas.  Usually they’re not this green… but this year, the color is awesome!  Makes for some good outdoor photography!!!
