Just when I felt like I was hitting a wall and needing inspiration … my friend and fellow photographer Jared Rey asks me if I want to join him on a fun personal project he was working on with his new friend Vanessa of Butterfly Sparks Creative. Lucky for me, I had nothing going on and decided to join them later that day. I was immediately inspired by Vanessa’s ability to create a story and successfully engage the couple within it. The images Jared and I captured that day are stunning and couldn’t have done it without her creativity. I most definitely look forward to working with her in the future. Here’s a few of my favorite images from that incredible afternoon.

::WARNING:: Long Post Ahead! Just sayin’ …
We’re ringin’ in 2010 with a bang! Here’s the first of hopefully many more weddings this year. It also marked my wife Jennifer’s retirement as a professional bridesmaid … she’s a little sad. The outside temperature in Dallas was lower than it had been in over a decade … but overall it turned out to be a beautiful day for an awesome wedding. Thank you Catherine and Nick for choosing me as your photographer … it was a blast. And a special thanks to my brother David for standing in as “flash girl.”

Don’t mess with this guy … he is highly trained in the field of WBSI. (Wedding Band Security & Intelligence)








I don’t know … I’m starting to think I didn’t take enough ring shots. :-p






























I’ve never seen kids so focused on a toast. Couldn’t have planned this out even if I paid them in candy bars.


I don’t know what is going on in this shot … but it cracks me up every time I look at it.













This guy was awesome … so intense!
