We are so happy to welcome Eric Hegwer, Austin Wedding Photographer, to our office space in Westlake!  We first met Eric before we even opened Royal Fig Catering when he was shooting our friend’s wedding at the Driskill a couple of years ago.  He was “playing” a game with the wedding guests called “couch,” where he pulls a couple out to a couch and photographs them.  Then that couple has to go find another couple that they don’t know, make friends, and send them out to the couch!  It was that night that we had the best picture taken of Dan and I.  It became our engagement picture and we hired Eric to shoot our wedding shortly thereafter.  Here are some of my favorite pictures that Eric has taken (for obvious reasons!)…

The "couch" picture at the Driskill. This is still my favorite picture that Eric has ever taken!

Dan and I getting married at Memory Lane Event Center. Eric really caught the beauty in all of the live oaks that surround the ceremony site.

The big joke that day was that Eric kept trying to get people to make me cry so that he could get it on film! Dan did a good job of doing that anyways as he had someone deliver this card to me in the bridal suite...

Here is a great picture of the Couch Game at our wedding!

The day of our wedding was INCREDIBLY windy, so we went to Laguna Gloria to have some portraits taken a couple of months later.

After we opened Royal Fig, Eric was nothing but supportive.  He has always been around to shoot our food and even took some great shots of our office opening in January.
