Steven & Laurie

Steven and Laurie got married at LaVillita this summer and just sent me their retouch list to work on this week... here are some of my favorites, most taken from our walk between LaVillita to the Reception site on the second floor at Rita's Icehouse on the Riverwalk (my personal favorite haunt downtown).

Jessica and Thomas at the Swanderosa

October is the most beautiful time of the year to have a wedding in Texas, and there was nothing that wasn't just absolutely perfect about this day!  It was held at a new venue in Helotes, the Swanderosa...they are updating their web page, so you might see some of these on there soon as well.

 Isn't this swing fabulous!

 How wonderful to have not one, but two fathers to walk her down the aisle.

 Jessica surprised Thomas by singing for him, I love his reaction here!  I had no idea you could sing Jess, you blew me (and everyone else) away!

 This is one of my favorite shots!

 Thomas was too much fun!

 I had to sneak into the candy room for this shot... how cute is this?!  I love this idea!

What a spectacular ending!

Angela & Ryan

Angela and Ryan got married this past weekend at a private ranch in Bandera.... the Cowboy Capital of the world (for those of you who aren't from Texas).  I was breaking in a new assistant, thank you Megan!  You were awesome!  Here are just a few of the fabulous things we saw that day, including the most magnificent night sky!

Jessica's bridal at Swanderosa

Jessica happens to be one of my very favorite people (coincidentally she is my sons teacher, which is why I love her so!)...  she got married this weekend and finally I can share these with the world.  We did her bridal session at Swanderosa, where she got married on Saturday.  It's a fabulous new wedding venue on Scenic Loop just outside of Helotes....  Here are just a couple of my favorites.  Hope you are having a fabulous honeymoon in Hawaii!!!

Cherdeeca & Daniel's wedding at the Hofmann Ranch

Cherdeeca and Daniel got married this summer at the Hofmann Ranch.  I had so much fun doing their wedding!  Can you tell?  Daniel's in the military, so they scored my military discount (25% off!).  These are a few of my favorites from their special day (do you LOVE the motorcycle!  I do!!!).

Jessica's bridal faves

I just finished doing some photoshopping on some of Jessica's favorite shots from a bridal session we did this spring (can you tell by the bluebonnets ;) at Hofmann Ranch in Castroville.  These are some of my favorites... I love the boots, and the pink tinged sky after the sunset!

Dina and Mike

Dina sent me such a sweet note after I finished her engagement pictures that I wanted to share... She said "I have always been one who hated taking photos and for the most part, hated how they always turned out when I did have them taken, but....... your expertise on angles sure worked wonders and i have a lot of favs that catch the essence of us!"... it doesn't sound like bragging when it comes from someone else, right?! Here are a few of my favorites. Thank you Dina for letting me share.

phone problems

I've gotten more than one message that my fabulous new phone and new phone service isn't working all the time.  I've not been getting messages and texts and phone calls, and show no signs of missing anything on the phone.  If you need to contact me and I don't return your call, please try my email donna@dgustinphoto.com, it sends me my email messages, or send me a message on my facebook photography page, I check and update that pretty often.  It's http://www.facebook.com/pages/Donna-Gustin-photography/110642222307136 if you want to like me while you are there, I won't mind ;)

Thanks for bearing with me while I straighten this out!

New Number!

I just got a new phone and we inadvertantly got a new phone number with it....  (210) 438-3698 is where you can reach me now.  Still same old blog and email address.... thanks for bearing with me!!!

Meaghan's senior pics
