Brand Spankin' New Logo (and off to the LBK)

As you have probably noticed, there is something new at the top of the page- my logo! That's right ladies and gents, I finally made myself a logo - it's about time. I also updated the website with new pages and photos in the galleries. After Brian gets home from work it's off to Lubbock! We decided we needed a few days away from Dallas NOT for work, so we will be there until Monday.

In Houston + Sneak Peek of Last Weekend's Wedding

Yesterday I drove down to Houston for a couple shoots and client meeting. This morning I found out that the senior I was going to shoot has strep throat- poor Elizabeth! But no worries- we will just have to postpone to another time. :-) For the rest of the day I will be working and tomorrow I have a (hopefully) bridal- as long as the rain holds off! Here is a little look at Rachel and Justin's wedding in Fort Worth last weekend...

Katie & Justin Wedding - Hattiesburg, Mississippi

I first met Katie in my Design 1 class at Tech. We were both trying to get into the design communication program and spent the next four years in the same classes. Not only is she a fabulous designer (check out her blog) but she is a super sweet, fun girl- AND we share a love of the movie "The Emperor's New Groove". :-) So when she asked me to photograph her wedding I was more than thrilled- I knew that it would be wonderfully done and truly unique to their personalities. They did not disappoint! The ceremony took place behind Ash Leigh Manor, even though it rained. The reception was just one big party, everyone was getting down out on the dance floor- even Justin's grandma! What an awesome celebration for an amazing couple! Thanks you two- hope you are enjoying NY! :-)
*Note- originally I posted that Katie created the guestbook, when in reality it was done by Amanda Sneed who is quite talented herself! 

Erin & Will Wedding - San Angelo, TX

When Erin was having her hair done, the stylist asked her if she was nervous. I loved her explanation, "Yes, but it's more like an anxious-nervous. You know like when you're driving to Six Flags and you just want to be there already!" Their wedding party was one of my all time favorites! They did everything I asked and had no problem being goofy on command. :-) PLUS the bride and groom set aside some time after the reception to take their portraits together. I love these two- they make me happy!

Rachel & Justin Engagement

Since Rachel and Justin are Aggies, they wanted their engagement session to be at A&M. We shot some on campus and out by the bars where there were some great colors. They are so sweet together and so thoughtful, PLUS they take fabulous pictures- I just love them! Can't wait for the wedding, you two!

Amber & Cliff Wedding - Austin, TX

What an awesome wedding, and what an amazing couple! I love love loved the feel of this wedding! Right now I don't have time to post all the detail shots, but you can tell by the few here that it was beautifully unique. Just check out the bridesmaids' dresses- I want one! (How many times have you heard that?) :-)

Nicole & Trey Engagement

Like so many other people before them, Nicole and Trey warned me before we started shooting, "We're really not good at this- we never take good pictures." All I can say is I enjoy proving those statements wrong! :-) In their down time they love just hanging out and relaxing, so we agreed the wine bars in downtown Grapevine would be a perfect place to start. This couple is so chill- it was a very comfortable and enjoyable shoot!
