The Cotton Mill in McKinney was the perfect, modern, sexy backdrop for this modern, sexy couple. Along with the fabulous natural lighting opportunities, we also got artsy with our own favorite lighting techniques in this old cotton mill warehouse. Jasmine and J were smokin’ hot! Just check out their chemistry. It was a photographers dream. We are really looking forward to their wedding at Lakeway resort in October.
We always joke with our clients that we are your hired paparazzi for your wedding day (only much less in your face). So that is where we came up with the idea for these shots. They are the movie stars caught snogging in the the back alley. Gotcha!
I LOVE all the old rusty equipment at the Cotton Mill. Makes for fabulous photogenic opportunities everywhere you look.
And then there are also simple, beautiful outdoor photo ops at the Cotton Mill, too.
Hofmann Ranch in Castroville, TX hosted this country cool wedding for Dana and Grant. The bride wore her boots and the couple danced to country music all night long. It was a lovely wedding, sweet and stylish in it’s simplicity.
Now, that, my friends, is a GREAT kiss!
Dana and Grant had a montage of their engagement photos playing on the flat screen tv during the reception. I love this second photo here. You can see in the background an engagement photo that Sae Cho took of them dancing at Gruene Hall. They are even in the same position!
No wedding is complete without a child getting down on the ground and getting their groove on!
Puppy love was in the air when we tripped around Austin with Corey and Ford for their engagement photography. They brought their adorable doggies with them and all four played and posed. We had a blast! We went to a park by the 360 bridge then to Auditorium shores and Butler park. We even got some bluebonnet photos at the end of the season! It was a very Austin photography session.
A Perfect Pair!!!
The Westin Domain hotel had never seen a wedding like this before! Literally. Yasisca and Kamal’s reception was the very first wedding reception to be hosted at the Westin Domain hotel. Needless to say, Cho Photography is very excited to be the first photographers to capture a wedding reception at the Westin Domain. Moreover, we felt honored to photograph THIS particular wedding and reception. Their fusion Catholic/Greek Orthodox wedding ceremony was held at St. Austin’s Catholic Church on Guadalupe. When I was in college at UT Austin, I passed this church all the time. Though it wasn’t until this wedding many years later that I ever saw how beautiful it is on the inside. Many, many thanks to Kathie Millen at Elite Events and Weddings for recommending us to Yasisca and Kamal. Kathie and her crew organized this wedding from the ground up to help make it really special. When I look at the photos of Yasisca and Kamal, I remember what a wonderful couple they are and what a gorgeous, dynamic wedding day they had. It was a day full of fun, family and firsts. Sae and I wish Yasisca and Kamal a lifetime of all that and more.
Yes, these photos were taken back to back at two different locations far away from each other, one taken by Sae Cho and one taken by me. Gotta love modern technology 
Beverages were needed for the bride and her maid of honor so the kind and accommodating limo driver (Joe at Black Car) made a pit stop at the Twin Liquors on the way to the ceremony.
Michelle’s Patisseries provided these fabulous cakes. Kamal is a DJ so, of course, the grooms cake was a record player.
Brenda Abbott provided the beautiful floral arrangements.
The Arboretum Park is a fun place for engagement photography in Austin. We took Yasisca and Kamal around the park then got some fun, funky shots inside the Renaissance Hotel. This couple is really special. Their easy going natures were complimented by both the playful outdoor park and the modern hotel. Come back next week to see their amazing wedding and reception at St. Austin Catholic Church and the Westin Domain hotel.
Beautiful boudoir photography should be above all else empowering to women. That is our philosophy at Cho Photography. Taking control of your sensual side, freeing up some inhibitions in a safe environment, you should take these photos for yourself first. And as an added bonus, if you give them to a partner, they are going to LOVE it! We took our influence on these boudoir photos from the noir photography of the 1930′s. Miss L was the picture perfect model posing with an open mind and a fun attitude. Boudoir Photography has met it’s perfect subject in the lovely Miss L.
The Mansion in Austin was the elegant backdrop for this fabulously fun reception for Katie and John’s wedding. First, though, they had a beautiful ceremony at the First United Methodist Church right next to the Texas Capitol. This was a particularly inspiring wedding for Sae and me. This group of exuberant Aggies really let loose, danced up a storm and hammed it up for the cameras. We LOVED it! HEB provided the flowers, which I thought were really unique. Kakes by Kim provided the wedding cake which was also beautiful in it’s simplicity. Hill Country Pasta House provided the delicious meal. Joel Giorgio was the rockin’ DJ from Greenbelt DJ’s. If you are looking for a really together, fun DJ, definitely check this guy out! Lastly, Longhorn Limos provided the super fly limos where we got those fun limo photos. Check out Katie’s exquisite bridal photography here…
Cho Photography wishes this special couple laughter, love and longevity!
Cheers to Austin Wedding Day magazine and the ladies for hamming it up with the wedding mag.
Aggies Unite for the Aggie Battle Hymn! (except for the one lone Longhorn in the background, Hook ‘Em
Sae Cho’s signature ‘dancing on the ceiling’ wedding photo for Cho Photography. Lionel Richie would be proud.
The Mansion Austin is Something Blue…
Love, Music and Gig’ Em!
The Mansion is where we started for this classic bridal photography. Katie and John would have their reception at the Texas Women’s Federation Mansion soon and it was a beautiful backdrop for this classy lady. Next we went to the Capitol Building for some timeless and elegant Bridal photos. This lovely bride doesn’t have a bad side, she’s gorgeous all the way around, so she made our job easy as pie. Her family was with her, they are very cool people and we all hit it off well. Come back in the next couple of weeks to see Katie and John’s wedding photography at First United Methodist Church.
Which one of these is not like the others? Yes, at every photography session we like to get a little artsy on a few even if you aren’t going to use it as a Bridal Portrait. We do it because we can and this is our blog and I can post them if I want to
This is the photo she chose for her Bridal Portrait to display at her wedding.
The Austin Hilton Downtown was ROCKIN’ for Jessica and Ryan’s reception. First, however, they had their wedding at the First Christian Church in Lockhart. It was a beautiful ceremony complete with lots of laughter, tears and hilarious children. Just as it should be Once again for this pure Austin couple, it was a pure Austin wedding reception. I know I say this all the time but this was a really fun wedding to photograph. I think you can see it in these wedding photographs. Jess and Ryan really got it going on. Cho Photography wishes them a lifetime of love and laughter.
This is Sae Cho’s signature “dancing on the ceiling’ wedding reception photography.
AND, here is Sae Cho with a zealous guest who just really wanted to dance with him! This lady was a riot but my shy hubby just wanted to go back to his wedding photography. Sorry, lady, he’s taken

Classic Austin Bridal Photography suited Jessica perfectly. She’s a beautiful woman with a sweet southern personality and burnt orange coursing through her veins. She wanted a combination of classic bridal portraits with some modern bridal photography to express her personality. We started at the Downtown Austin Hilton hotel where she would be having her wedding. Then we moved on to the University of Texas South Tower. Finally we ended with some modern country bridal photos at the Broken Spoke. Check out Jessica and Ryan’s Engagement photos here and come back next week to see their Lockhart wedding photography and reception photography at the Austin Hilton. Hook ‘Em Horns!
Coca-cola, a bride in boots and the American flag. Doesn’t get more ATX than that, folks!
