Beth and Matt's wedding was a total reflection of them as a couple, simple and sweet :)  It was an afternoon just the way they wanted it - good friends, great family, and unforgettable times. I think my favorite part of the day is when Matt and all of his friends reenacted the scene from Top Gun where they sang "You've Lost that Loving Feeling." Trust me, there was no love lost on this day. Anyone present felt the love in that room as everyone sang, laughed, and wished Matt and Beth all the happiness in the world. Enjoy!

 

One thing that I do at every wedding is take my couple's wedding rings from them while they're eating. I always ask first and so far no one has said no to me. Not only do they trust me to capture their day, but they also trust me with their bling! I use the time to take pictures of their wedding rings with whatever cool details I find during their reception. From personalized menus, to monogrammed stickers, to beautiful blooms in their centerpieces, to cool architecture. Tonight I was playing with a new toy for my camera to make my detail shots even better! I used my own engagement ring as my subject and some stuff in my living room. What do you think? I think they turned out kinda pretty and I can't wait to steal more wedding rings to achieve these shots! Enjoy!

Wow! The past few months have been packed! And I've been so greedy with my images haven't I? Well now that I'm taking some time off before I have my baby girl, I'm going to use my waiting time wisely and get these weddings blogged! Although I won't be shooting weddings again until mid August, I'm currently available for consultations if you're interested in booking me - or if you just want to hang out, chit chat, talk weddings, talk tv, books...I love meeting people ;) I've got some really great specials for the Bridal Extravaganza in July that I'm offering in advance to couples that book me before then. Keep checking the blog for announcements on the details of my specials. In the mean time I'm leaving you with some teasers of some fantastic weddings to come! Enjoy :)

Susan and Don were married last month. It was a clear, blue sky, sunny kinda day, but boy was it hot! They were real troopers though when we went outside for some fun shots with their wedding party. They were also totally awesome when they had to stand outside the ballroom for a long time and take pictures with every guest. But before the party they had a beautiful ceremony at St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church. I love that church. So much light and beautiful architecture. Plus it's where I got married so my opinion is a little biased about that. Ha ha ha! Their super duper fun reception was at the Kim Son ballroom in downtown. You know what I love about weddings at Kim Son? Seven...course...meals. And the food is always soooo yummy. Plus it never fails, every wedding I shoot at a Kim Son ballroom is always a spectacular party with drinks and dancing all night. This one was no exception! I have so many images that I loved from this wedding that I thought I'd put them in a slideshow. Just look at their faces in every image of them. You can't deny the love and happiness there :) Enjoy!

I didn't meet Patricia and Guido until their wedding day. They're both doctors that live in the Netherlands, but Patricia's family lives in Houston. I can't imagine what it's like planning a wedding while you live outside of the country, but these two made it happen! If I had to say one word that immediately pops into my head when I think of Patricia, it's "smiles." The entire day Patrica was gleaming with happiness and her contagious smile affected everyone around her. And whenever I saw Guido look at his new bride, I could see how much he cherished her.

Enjoy!
