Daran, the creator of Colored Lion, was my wedding photographer and he was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!…read more I truly couldn't have asked for anything more out of the pictures he was able to capture that day. He did whatever it took to get the shot in 90+ degree heat. He came with fun, creative ideas, and even laid down on a dusty bridge infested with flies to get the most amazing shot of the day...my husband and I on a worn, abandoned bridge, with vibrant green woods surrounding us as the sun set through the trees! Take a look at it on his website. It will take your breath away. Daran even captured my sister in mid air when she did the "dirty dancing" lift with this best man as they made their entrance! Unreal. If you are looking for a wedding photographer or simply a photographer who is creative and willing to do whatever it takes to get that shot, then Colored Lion is the company you need to work with. Daran has a truly natural talent with color. He enhanced the color of my pictures and took them to a whole new level (I seriously didn't think they could get any better). His eye for the aesthetic and passion for color is simply something that cannot be taught. He is the the heart and brains behind Colored Lion. To me, a great photographer has nothing to do with the fancy, expensive equipment someone has or the latest editing tools they have access to. Everyone is a "photographer" now days. Daran, however, is the real deal and I cannot recommend Colored Lion enough!

On the day I proposed to my wife, I knew there was only one person in Austin who could capture the…read moremoment. Daran at ColoredLion worked with me weeks and days before the big moment to give me additional ideas and tell me exactly where he would be and what would make the best setting and best pictures (and calm me down the day of). All of his advice was spot on. He got the photos of a lifetime without us even remembering he was there. We've had dozens of people say it's the best engagement photo they've ever seen. I would use Daran at ColoredLion again in a heartbeat, for any event, big or small.

So many great things to say about our awesome experience with Cruz Collective. First, Raymond was…read moreprofessional and so easy to get along with! After our consultation call, we knew right away he was the best fit for us as the DJ for our wedding day. After booking, he promptly sent over a music worksheet that helped us list out what must have songs we wanted for each part of our day and what songs we wanted to steer clear of during the reception. Anytime we had questions or info for him, he promptly responded and always with kindness. A couple weeks before the big day, we had a final follow up call with Raymond to review the worksheet we filled out, confirm which parts of the songs we wanted played for our grand entrance, etc, and went over any final questions we had for him. Raymond also knew a big goal for us was to keep our dance floor full during the reception and he understood the assignment! Everyone, family and friends, went on and on (and still do) about how great the playlists were and how much fun they had dancing the night away. We appreciated how stress free they made that part of our wedding planning process and we couldn't be happier to have had Raymond be our DJ for our big day. Highly recommend him and his team for your event! Raymond, thank you again for being awesome and for helping make our wedding so fun!!

Let me just start by saying that we LOVE Carrie Biggar! She is the BEST baby and family…read morephotographer in the greater Austin area. Carrie takes such great care in working with babies. She has such a gentle nature and truly captures such precious moments. She is such a beautiful person! We love seeing her and working with her just as much as we love the amazing pictures that she takes! We have worked with Carrie for both of our son's baby step pictures and also now our oldest son's 2 year pictures. They are AMAZING. Most of the time we purchase the entire session of pictures because we can't narrow down our favorites. Carrie is so very talented! I highly recommend Carrie Biggar for your family pictures!

Adam's professionalism and dedication to his customers had me feeling like a rockstar…read more He was able to schedule me on Memorial Day because I needed professional photo really quick. During the session in his studio, I was astounded by the amount of time and attention that he gave to my single photo (my previous photo experiences have always been akin to an assembly line at a formal function). The icing on the cake is his follow up, where he illustrated his expertise with his profession by asking questions I frankly did not know how to answer, being patient as I searched for the answer, and producing a brilliant photo matching specifications that I would not have dreamed of requesting initially. Now I just need to lose some weight and go back!

Adam was incredibly easy to work with, and had a keen instinct on how to give me direction in order…read moreto best capture the shots that I needed. He was also great at giving me suggestions to look my best and was very thorough in explaining his process which made the shoot and choosing my shots so much easier and efficient. If you want some amazing photos, I'd suggest you give him a call.

Eddy is so great! I met him at a friend's wedding and immediately knew I should grab a business…read morecard. A few months later, we hired him for a work event out in Wimberley--he's super personable and easy going and honestly felt just like a member of our team. Although we had a few cocktails already picked out (which were all delicious), he was able to accommodate and improvise with new cocktails as the night went on. His cost was also super reasonable. Can't wait to find an opportunity to work with him again!

As an events professional myself, I truly appreciate an eye for detail, fast response time and a vendor who asks the right questions and he did all of this and then some. He was also super easy going and handled the hustle and bustle of the event well. We had a massive beer list and his team handled distributing those with ease. He helped to guide us in our selection of liquors and gave us an estimate on the correct amounts to buy for our bar as well. The signature cocktails were delicious and the service was quick. Highly recommend them, they made our day perfect and kept the party going.

The event was a fund raiser for Big Brothers Big Sisters... and it was HOT! (In more ways then one)…read more The Vaughn is an excellent roof top venue with a beautiful view of the surroundings. A fantastic space with a wide open roof top, look at the sky, type of area. The event had drinks, small bites, and a DJ. There were a few venders... jewelry, a party planning biz and such as well as raffle prizes... some pretty big prizes too. The event started at 7 and it was just about 100 degrees outside... it was hot. But that didn't stop people... the rooftop venue was packed with all kinds of people from sophisticated to hip and young to old! The heat really didn't stop... the sun went down and the rooftop got more packed... there were A LOT of people up there... all for a great cause though... so we stayed... drank a few more "Summer Luvin" drinks and sweat... mingled and enjoyed... the more we drank the less the heat mattered... funny that way! Seriously the venue is a wonderful spot for this kind of social event... it was super nice, big, open rooftop patio with seating, about 1/4 covered and would have been perfect in less heat... but even so... we really enjoyed it. The crowd was very mixed with those trying to be Austin elite (some a bit too hard)... those that were Austin elite, but didn't care they were, those that wanted everyone to know they were elite period, those there to support the event, and those just beautiful people in a wide range of dresses, suits (yes even in that heat), jeans, high heals, tennis shoes, and all... I am a people watcher and it was GREAT fun! I look forward to my next event held at the Vaughn and will seek it out... especially if it is at a cooler time of year!
