I’ve been anxiously waiting to post these. A couple of weeks I tagged along with Jared Rey to an amazing Highland Park home to photograph bridal portraits of his lovely friend Jade. She’s not a professional model … but I would have never known had she not told me. She worked the camera like a pro … people like her make it so easy on us photogs. When I wasn’t assisting Jared with lighting … I was snagging photographs. Be sure to check out Jared’s awesome shots from this session!
As some of you already know … my sister-in-law Lindsay was recently engaged to Wes. It’s always great to photograph friends and family because you typically know what they like to do and where they feel most comfortable. Much like Jennifer and I … Wes and Lindsay also enjoy being at the lake … so I figured what better place to shoot their engagement photos. We drove down to his family’s unique Cedar Creek Lake house this past weekend for their session. I don’t think we could have had better weather that afternoon. We started off in and around the house. A boat ride break eventually offered up some cool photo ops. We ended the session back at the house at sunset … followed by dinner, drinks and two hours in the hot tub. I love my job!
This past Friday I met up with many new faces to shoot, learn and laugh at the Photog Shootout GTG in Dallas. We got a little taste of the atmosphere the Ryan Manor in Dallas offers people looking for a vintage and intimate setting for their event. The shootout was organized by Rob “Ninja” Nicholson and sponsored by Groom Sold Separately. The group leaders consisted of Amy Karp, Heather Essian and Jason Huang from Table4. The models were appropriately styled to match the venue and allowed us to capture some fun and unique images. It was a little too crowded … but I managed to capture some images I thought were blog-worthy. The best part was making a few new photog friends!
