::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!

I had the opportunity to be part of Wendy & Mark’s small and intimate wedding this past weekend at their home near the Firewheel Golf Course in Garland. It was such a pleasure to work with these guys … everyone was very welcoming and seemed very comfortable in front of the camera. Although this was their wedding … I was asked to focus more on portraits of family members, rather than the ceremony itself. We had a very small window of time to capture everything … so Jennifer made sure to keep me on my toes. This was my second week in a row to perform a shoot at a private home. It’s always a pleasant surprise to see what spots become interesting when you’re presented a limited environment. There were lot’s of neat spots in and around their home … but due to the cloudy skies … we had to stick to what we could find quickly outside. We squeezed in as many portraits as possible before the ceremony and captured the remaining few afterwards. There wasn’t much time for capturing details before everyone had to leave for the celebration dinner … but I did manage to nab a few ring shots in and around their kitchen. Thanks again to Wendy & Mark for asking me to document their day … we had a blast!
