THE Marcus Revilla Blog!

Welcome to our little corner of the world. We hope you find our blog to be informative as well as fun. We are hoping to find this blog as additional information other than our website and to offer up to date photos, whether they're weddings, seniors or anything else that crosses our path. I'm not the best at keeping the blog going every single day due to our load here at the studio, however, we will make an effort to keep it going on a consistent basis. We invite our current and potential brides to enjoy this blog and share your comments with us.

Just a little bit of trivial information about myself. I am a huge die-hard Aggie fan...always have been, always will be. I'm not the person who knew they wanted to be a photographer since the age of 3 months. I was the one who laughed at the yearbook staff in high school. I love animals and have 3 German Shepherds and 2 cats. If I wasn't a photographer, I would love to be a professional motorcycle racer. Yes, I love motorcycles. I have a BS in biochemistry and find myself sometimes dabbling in my old science textbooks from college; yes, I still have them.

We certainly invite you to check out our website and if you have any questions about any of our services, please don't hesitate to ask. Take care!

Tracy + Ted…No Sleep Till Brooklyn!!!

November 4, 2008 – 9:13 pm

Some of y’all might remember Tracy and Ted; they were one of our New York couples.  We had previously done Tracy’s sister’s wedding and were very happy to do carry on the MRP tradition with Tracy.  The wedding was held up in Austin at the Mansion on Judge’s Hill.  What was crazy was the fact that the wedding was held on a Monday evening.  At the end of the night, you would’ve never known this.  Blind Date kept the floor packed (btw, this is one of our favorite bands) and maintained an energy that only they can create.  Barbara Hearne was the wedding coordinator and did an excellent job, as usual.  The bride’s sister, Brett, brought her creativity to the wedding by designing some great announcements (they can be seen in the slideshow).  

I actually lost my voice at this wedding and it was quite funny watching a lot of people trying to help me out with different remedies…thanks guys!!!  We definitely loved working with this couple and especially with the fact that we had carte blanche throughout the day.  Can’t wait to head back to NYC and spend some time with Tracy and Ted!!!

Annalisa + Greg are married!!!

October 31, 2008 – 10:19 am

Hey guys!

It’s pretty bad when one of your favorite brides gets after you for not keeping your blog up to date.  Well, case in point, is Annalisa.  She informed me that she loved keeping up with the old blog, however, I needed to keep posting more and more…so I promised her that when our new blog came into play, her wedding would be the first I would post.  TADA!!!  Here it is.  Oh yeah, I forgot to mention Annalisa’s wedding was in June, so that goes to show how busy we’ve been over here at the studio!  Anyways, Greg and Annalisa had a gorgeous wedding with a ceremony at the beautiful Little Flower Basilica.  This is a beautiful church with a lot of charm and detail.  I definitely recommend this church for your wedding.  It was great getting to know the both of them before their big day; to the point where they have become close and true friends.  The reception was held at the Westin Hotel downtown.  

The wedding was filled with emotion and excitement.  We definitely enjoyed shooting the wonderful day!  We love you guys!!!

Enjoy!

No New Albums…

October 22, 2008 – 4:05 pm

Hey everyone!

We are at the point this year where we can no longer take any more album orders for this year.  We are crunching time to meet every album for Christmas delivery so that way we start the new year album free and start from fresh.  We will not take new orders till the new year.

Thanks everyone!

Erica rocks her bridal session!

October 3, 2008 – 2:23 pm

Wow!  Are we not the luckiest studio in the world with the most awesome brides?  We had the exciting opportunity to photograph Erica.  You might remember her from her previously posted engagement session with her lucky fiance, John.  We headed throughout the area looking for different backgrounds and textures that would compliment her dress and personality.  Let’s just say Erica is a blast to work with and she’s tall, too!  I found myself having to readjust my shooting due to her height!  Lol….

Well, enjoy and leave some feedback from what you think!  Everyone wish Erica a wonderful wedding on November 11, 2008!!!!

September 30, 2008 – 10:14 pm

Wow…this is one great bride to work with!  Her wedding is coming up soon in November so we decided to head out to one of the Missions and have at it!  She was a great sport and up for anything which made it easy on me…I was very excited with the session that I had to post it before her big day!  Her flowers came to us courtesy of Botanika and the talented Melissa White and Callie’s mom was a great sport throughout the session!  We had the honor of photographing Callie’s brother’s wedding some time back and now we’re delighted to be part of hers.  Enjoy and leave some love!
