Austin Wedding Photography | Ku Photography LLC Blog bio picture

Hello! My name is Tony Ku and this is our wedding photography blog. I am an Austin wedding photographer and frequently travels throughout Texas (Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio to name a few cities - as well as small Texas towns such as Boerne and Temple) and beyond.

In 2008, I was ranked as one of the top 20 wedding photographers in the world by the Wedding Photojournalist Association (WPJA). It's a prestigious ranking that you can only earn through winning wedding photography contests. I was really surprised and humbled by the honor.

I'd encourage you to check out our blog as well as our portfolio site to get a feel of the style of photography that we provide. Nearly everything that we do during the wedding day is unposed, unedited, unfiltered, and most importantly, real. I don't interject myself into your events or your moments. I simply there as an observer.

This picture shows what we're all about. That's not me, that's actually my lovely wife, Hazel. I am the guy in the shadow. She decided to lie on a field of bluebonnets (don't worry, no bluebonnets were hurt in this image), and naturally, I photographed her as she lie on the ground as the harsh overhead sunlight cast a shadow.

That is in essence, me, on your wedding day - I'm there to observe and capture the moments and hopefully at the end of the day, the only imprint I will have on the day of your wedding, is my shadow. :)

2008 Wedding Photography Favorites (Part 2)

Wedding couple: Florencia and Jimmy

Wedding ceremony/reception location: The Oasis

The Oasis is known for its gorgeous sunsets overlooking Lake Travis:

A hilarious moment in the reception when Sami drops the cake into Flo’s dress.

Wedding couple: Arlina and Jimmy

Wedding Ceremony: Holy Rosary Catholic Church, Houston, TX

Wedding Reception: Maggiano’s Little Italy, Houston, TX

One of my favorite images of the year is the image of Arlina walking into the church with her dad and passes right through a nice shaft of light – the church is so dark that we were literally at the camera’s limitation. Sure, flash would work but it would totally kill the image and the mood.

A wonderful moment between Arlina and Jimmy on the recessional.

Out of all the moments in the reception, personally I like this the most. It’s simple, just a ride in elevator to the reception where they feel that they’re all alone.
