Hi everyone! I am determined to start blogging again and will be posting recent and past events!!!!! Thanks to everyone who has supported our photography and my blog!!

Last weekend was our first wedding in 2011 and it was a great one! It was a day full of emotion and we got a lot of great shots.

Kristin becomes a little emotional when she reads Andy’s card.

I love this shot of Andy!

4 month wrapup

April — Fri, 01 Oct 2010 16:15:22 +0000

Hey, its been a crazy last 4 months. I am so sorry for everyone that has not made the blog. We were extremely busy this spring and early summer. Then we took a much needed vacation to the mountains. The last part of the summer I focused on getting my oldest son ready for Kindergarten, finishing up albums and getting ready for the next big wedding month. So I just wanted to post a summary of the past 9 months since it will be another few months before I will be able to resurface again :) Next year will be much less busy so I will be able to dedicate more time to the blog. Thanks for everyone being so patient!

A few pics from our vacation!!!!

Lora + Aaron = Engaged!

April — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 18:38:02 +0000

We had such a great time with Lora and Aaron a few weekends ago for their engagement session. They are such a fun and photogenic couple that I literally could not take a bad shot!! I think the wedding will be awesome!

Andrea + Alan = Wedding!

April — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 21:53:12 +0000

We had a great wedding last weekend at the Park Cities Presbyterian Church in Dallas. The reception followed the ceremony in the Fellowship Hall and then they had a typical Chinese Feast that evening. Since we had some time between the reception and the feast, we stopped by the Arboretum for some really great shots. Andrea and Alan looked amazing and we had a really fun time!

We had a beautiful afternoon with Shawn and Christina’s engagement shoot last weekend. They were so much fun and made my job really easy! Here are some of my favorites!

Amanda’s Trash the Dress

April — Thu, 08 Apr 2010 16:38:56 +0000

We had an AMAZING time at Amanda’s trash the dress session a few weeks ago! We photographed Amanda’s wedding back in 2008. She said her dress was taking up too much room in her closet and wanted to try a trash the dress session before she got rid of it. So we found an old warehouse and had some fun. Amanda was great. She brought all kinds of shoes and jewelry and we were able to use some of our fun head pieces that we got last year. Unfortunately it was too cold and windy to actual get any water shots. Hopefully we’ll get a chance to try it again once the wedding season dies down a bit!! Take a look at some of favorites from the session!

Ashley + Justin = Wedding!!

April — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 18:34:32 +0000

We had the chance to photograph the really fun wedding of Ashley and Justin in Forney! The ceremony took place at the Church of God and the reception at their house. We had a great time with everyone and came away with some awesome shots! Here a few highlights…

Sarah + Will = Wedding!!!!

April — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 21:21:35 +0000

We shot Sarah and Will’s wedding a few weeks ago at The Mansion at Turtle Creek. Both Sarah and Will and most of the family and friends traveled to Dallas for the wedding. The ice storm that hit earlier in the week made it very difficult for everyone to make it in town, but luckily only a handful of guests could not make it. Sarah’s aunt and her assistant Kevin did a wonderful job planning the event. We had a wonderful time meeting everyone and their hospitality. Shelley Binion and her staff did a remarkable job as always. Here are some of my favorites!!!!

Sarah’s gorgeous dress and shoes!

Randy said the guys had a hard time putting on the ties. This is Will and his brother attempting to get the ties just right.

The bar area was extremely busy that day so Randy was only able to get a few shots of the guys. I wish we had more time, but I really like this shot!

Sarah’s zipper was stuck so it took several people to get the zipper working. Luckily they got the zipper working and nothing broke.

Sarah was so photogenic. She looks absolutely gorgeous!!!

Will looks great too!

Sarah’s dress was way too long to her aunt and a friend safely pinned it up.

Sarah and her dad walking down the aisle.

Will looking at his beautiful bride.

A close up of the bride and groom.

Sarah looking at her groom!

Husband and wife!

Some alone time.

The reception looked AMAZING as you can see.

The European Ensemble was a lot of fun. Half way through the reception, they changed into these outfits and played some fun upbeat music. You don’t see that with many quartets.

A quick getaway through the service elevator. Congratulations and we wish you a lifetime of happiness!

Omer + Anila = Wedding!

April — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 22:12:38 +0000

Omer and Anila was our first Indian/Pakistani couple. And although we did not photograph the actual ceremony, we were still introduced to their fun and amazing culture. We met up with them for formal shots and then the reception at The Mansion on Turtle Creek. Shelley Binion and her staff were amazing as always. Angie Williams did an amazing job with Anila’s hair and makeup. She does a lot of Indian weddings and helped me out with all of the lingo. I hope I got all the terminology right.

We had a great time and captured some really cool images! Here are just a few highlights…

Anila’s gorgeous shoes and Dupatta (veil).

Her jewelry was beautiful.

Angie did a wonderful job with Anila’s hair and makeup. Here she is securing her Tikka.

I love that Omer wanted Angie to style his hair. Randy took this photo, so I wonder what was funny :)

I love this shot of Anila. She was just stunning!!!

A beautiful shot of the Henna on Anila’s hands. All the women had some Henna and it was so beautiful.

The gorgeous bride and handsome groom.

Some single shots.

A few dramatic shots in front of the wine glass door.

A serious shot and a fun shot upstairs.

They both look so sweet here. I love this shot.

A few fun shots outside. Both Anila and Omer began to relax a little and had some fun.

Some fun shots!

Robin with DiFiori flowers did an amazing job on the flowers and table decorations. We have worked with her before and she has always amazed us!

A close up of the table.

We were so grateful to be able to join them for dinner that we took some shots of each of the entrees. The food was so amazing. Thank you so much for inviting us to partake in your wonderful event!

Matt + Sarah Wedding!

April — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 22:35:20 +0000

Last week we had the chance to photograph Matt and Sarah’s GORGEOUS wedding at Royal Lane Baptist church in Dallas. The reception was held at one of our favorite places, the Old Red Courthouse. The wedding could not have been any more perfect. Sarah was beautiful and had everything scheduled perfectly. Becca and Crystal with A Stylish Soiree did an awesome job of making sure everything we smoothly! All of the vendors did an amazing job. I really had a ton of photos to choose from, but here are just a few of my faves…

I loved how the hung all the dresses on the stairs. Sarah had 10 attendants so I could not quite get them all in.

Here are some of the amazing details. I loved all the flowers Sarah had for each bridesmaids hair.

Dad caught a little nap while the girls were getting ready.

Everyone loves watching the bride get ready.

Here are a few shots from Sarah’s bridal shoot. She was STUNNING!

We just made a 40×60 canvas print of this pictures and put it in our gallery. It looks AMAZING!!!!

The girls!

I wish I had room to post all the shots of the wedding party’s entrance. Everyone had a really creative entrance.

And the bride and groom of course :)

The lighting was spectacular! Randy took several of these shots because the lighting would change colors, just magical :)

Here are just a few of the fun shots from the reception. They danced all night long!
