Last night was an exciting time for Jennifer’s family … her younger sister Lindsay got engaged to her boyfriend Wes. I knew something was up on Thursday when Wes called me to ask for her Dad’s cell phone number … and was without a doubt when Lindsay called yesterday after 9 pm for us rush over with my camera. He popped the question at Pappa’s Bros. Steakhouse in Dallas … also where they had been for their first anniversary. She was completely surprised and obviously said yes. She ended up not eating her meal … which turned out to a good thing … because the to-go bag made for some nice ring shots. It was so awesome to see them both so excited and happy and we wish them the best. Welcome to the family Wes!

Nikki (mom), Matt (dad) and Jennifer (my wife) have all been friends since college at Louisiana Tech in Ruston. We typically try to visit each other once a year … but this year we got to see them twice! When we visited them in Copperas Cove earlier this year I remember seeing a few cool spots downtown that would make good photo locations … and wished I could use them. Needless to say, I was excited when over a month ago Nikki told Jennifer she wanted me to come down and do portraits of Evie and a few family portraits for Christmas cards. Due to crazy schedules … the only date available was this past Sunday. Little did we know … the weather was not going to cooperate at all. After driving three hours through endless cold, wet weather … I realized I wasn’t going to be able to use the locations I had in mind. Thank God for speed-lights, Pocket Wizards and for forcing me out of my comfort-zone … oh and furniture with character! I ended up turning their master bedroom into a mock studio and captured some unique images I’d of never captured had the weather been perfect. I think Evie had a better time playing in the dresser drawer than she would have had somewhere in downtown Copperas Cove anyways. There’s a ton of them … but here are my favorites.

We decided to take advantage of the new AT&T Performing Arts Center in downtown Dallas for Catherine and Nick’s session while it’s still a new and fresh location. On the day of their session it had only been open to public for two weeks. It is a spectacular looking place with lots of cool and inspiring places to shoot. I’m sure they weren’t the absolute first … but they will always be able to say they were one of the first to have their engagement photos done at that location. But the delivery truck we found … they were definitely the first and only.
We’ve known these two for a long time and it’s great to finally see them about to tie the knot.

Meet Addison. She made her debut back in May with her two cousins Caden & Graham. This time she’s back at the Dallas Arboretum for the Great Pumpkin Festival to pose in her skunk costume. Fortunately … she didn’t get into character during our time together … if you know what I mean. ;- ) Choosing the images for this post proved to be quite difficult because she doesn’t know how to take a bad photo.

I shot Megan & Ryan’s e-session earlier this year in and around downtown Fort Worth and I can’t believe their wedding has already come and gone. Their awesome wedding and reception took place in a new and very cool venue called Off the Grid. It also happens to be a historic Dallas Power and Light substation building that used to power the street lights of Dallas.Off the Grid. It has tons of character and makes for excellent photos. Here’s a few of my favorites from the evening.

I had such a hard time choosing photos to blog from Rachel and Brennan’s awesome wedding! This is a long post … but yet … it’s such a small taste of what I actually captured that day. And … this doesn’t even include the days prior or the following day … or my personal photos. I took A LOT of photos that week! The wedding ceremony was held at the The Lutheran Church of Arcata. The fun then moved to the reception spot at Merryman’s Beach House on Moonstone Beach in Trinidad.

I had the pleasure of helping a friend capture Celene & Henry’s wedding day this past weekend. The ceremony was held at St. Michael’s Catholic Church and the reception took place at Myers Parks and Events Center … both in McKinney, Texas.
