Kari & James, a couple of Texas A&M Aggies in love.

Sunday, December 21, 2008

Wow, we had a blast with Kari & James. We took a short trip up to College Station, home of the Texas A & M Aggies. Both Kari and James graduated from A&M and they really wanted to have their e-session done back at the old school. The local weather had been talking about rain and wind all week and we kept hoping that the weather would not be ugly. We ended up with a little breeze but an amazing South Texas fall day with an AWESOME sunset. Kari and James were so much fun and they really opened up to us. They gave us the nickle tour through various parts of the campus and told us about some of the traditions that were part of the areas we visited. A&M has so many amazing places to photograph and we were only able to make it to just a few places during our time there. We were so fortunate that they invited us back to the place that they spent so many days together and we look forward to going up to College Station to work with other Aggie grads.

Very Intimate Engagement at The Houstonian with Caitlin’s Marine.

Tuesday, December 9, 2008

We had the honor of photographing Caitlin and Alex for what was basically a homecoming for Alex. They had been apart for a long time because Alex was stationed in Iraq with the Marines. He was only able to return for a couple of weeks for the wedding. Caitlin really wanted to have some photos of them at the wedding so we told her that we would make it happen for someone serving our country. Alex flew in on Monday, we did the shoot on a Wednesday and pulled an all nighter getting them processed and ready for them to view. They chose their photos and we overnighted them back from the lab to have for the wedding on Saturday. It was CRAZY!!!!, but worth it.

Cait and Alex were planning to spend the first night of their honeymoon at The Houstonian Hotel so she wanted to have her e-session photos done on the grounds of the hotel. The hotel has some awesome grounds that created the perfect backdrop for our shoot. Cait and Alex really opened up and let us capture the love they have for each other. I think you can see it in their photos. We had a blast working with them and feel honored that they spent part of their limited time together with us. Thanks guys for the amazing shoot!

Very Intimate!!

Sparklers for your Grand Exit

Wednesday, December 3, 2008

Last week Becca & I were chatting with Nickie who booked us for her wedding about using sparklers for her Grand Exit In the past, we have shot weddings where the sparklers looked really cool, ones where we were worried about the sparklers catching people on fire because they had such a huge flame, sparklers that smoked so bad you couldn’t see the bride and groom and weddings were the sparklers burnt out as quick as you lit them. After telling Nickie about all the different things that we have seen she asked where she could get sparklers that would work best for her wedding. I had no idea so we decided to go to the net and find out what we could. We came across several sites that looked to be among the best places to get information as well as actually purchase sparklers designed for weddings. They are available year round and legal to purchase for a wedding no matter what time of year it happens to be.

The first has been written up in Weddings magazine and looks to be a really good place to look first. They have alot of photos and some info on the use of their sparklers along with a really good plan to get them lit efficiently. Sparkle

The next one looks to be a good site as well and has alot of information on the Sparklers use. Skylighter

Hopefully this will help all of you who are considering their grand exit with sparklers. I know it will help make your photos that much better by using the best type of sparkler for your event.

Keep Smilin!!

Amazing Couple!

Friday, November 14, 2008

Can we say fun? We did an engagement shoot for terrific couple, Erin and Ian, and had a blast! Erin is the daughter of Becca’s best friend, so Becca has been waiting for this for a long time. They were amazing in front of the camera and their love for each other can not be missed. We wanted to take them to a graffiti wall in the Third Ward, but they were not feeling it. We convinced them it would be ok and off we went! Once we got there, they were in awwww of the art work and we captured some outstanding photos. We left there and set off for sunset pictures downtown. The sunset that night was breathtaking. It was so vibrant, that Erin commented that the sunset looked”fake”, but it was very much real. We laughed the entire time and cannot wait for their wedding in Destin ,Florida. We love you guys, and are stoked for June 13th!!

Caitlin’s bridals in the Country!

Monday, November 10, 2008

We had a blast photographing Caitlin at the Ashlynn Manor in Magnolia, Texas. Ashlynn Manor is super nice wedding venue in the country that has a bunch of awesome areas to take pictures. It is an old country home complete with a Gone with the Wind facade and a cool Carriage house completely decked out for receptions.

Caitlin loves animals of all kinds so she had to make a trip out to the pasture in her gown to play with the horses. It was alot fun and we took some fun shots! Caitlin is a stunning bride and will look amazing for her Marine when he gets in for the wedding!

Oh So Sexy!

Looking forward to this evening with a Marine and his Bride2B!!!

Thursday, October 30, 2008

We are STOKED that tonight is the night that we get to meet Alex, a groom 2B currently serving in the US Marines in Iraq. I cant think of anything better than being able to meet him with his B2B Caitlin as we do their e-session tonight. We are truly honored to be able to be a part of Caitlin & Alex’s wedding. Alex has been in Iraq since we met Caitlin and booked their wedding. This will be his first time back home since I have known them and I know Caitlin is on cloud 9 right now. We only have 9 days until their wedding which means we will probably pull an all-nighter tonight getting the e-session photos ready so they can select one and we can get it printed and expressed to us before their wedding. WOW! We feel honored to serve one of Americas finest. As soon as we get some shots from their session at The Houstonian ready we will post them here for everyone to check out.

Gone so long.

Thursday, October 23, 2008

I cant believe that I have been away from the blog for so long. Sorry everyone. We have been pretty busy with shoots and trying to balance our busy schedule with our Daughters and their crazy schedules. I guess the blog ended up on the back burner. Anyway, I am going to try to be more vigilant in keeping it up to date with more of what we are up to. Hope everyone had a great summer and it looks like fall is here. Love the weather.

Julie & Justin’s Wedding and Reception

Tuesday, August 19, 2008

Can you say FUN? We had a blast photographing Julie and Justin’s wedding. They are very easy going and were so relaxed that everyone had a fun. We had some fun with the guys over by the old grain mills in Katy and took some awesome shots. It was a bummer that it was so hot so we had to rush through it before we all melted. Julie was as calm as can be and really looked pretty for the wedding. Once we made it through the ceremony at the First Methodist Church in Katy, we rode with them on the party bus to Safari Texas. You know it is going to be crazy when we didnt make it out of Katy before having to stop and buy more beer for the bus. We took some fun shots in the bus and they had an awesome reception. Here are a few of the photos that we shot.

Sara’s Bridals at The Tuscany Villa in Katy

Wednesday, August 13, 2008

We had the pleasure of photographing Sara’s bridals at The Tuscany Villa in Katy. This is a super venue that we have wanted to work in for a long time. It has a really nice Tuscan Villa feel to it with a ton of great locations to get some awesome shots. This is a venue with alot of character. Sara showed up to do her bridals on what had to be the hottest day of the year in Houston. We had plans to incorporate the Villas amazing outdoor balcony in the shoot but it ended up so hot that we only spent about 5 minutes outside. Sara was awesome even though she had driven half the night from Iowa to be at the shoot. We ended up with some really good shots and had a blast working with her. Take a look and feel free to leave a comment for us.

Photos Selected for Katy Magazine

Thursday, July 31, 2008

Recently we had a local magazine talk to us about submitting some photos for their piece they were writing about weddings in Katy Texas. They told us there was no guarantee that they would use any of the photos selected. Fortunately, they thought a couple of our photos were worthy of printing in their article. We were really surprised and super excited when we found out we had made it. Unfortunately we didnt get the cover as that went to the magazines staff photographer but we did get 3 photos included. If you get a chance, pick up a copy of the Katy Magazine (I believe it is free) and look for the following shots.

Here is the cover. It is a really nice magazine.

New Website

Tuesday, July 29, 2008

Hello everyone. Hope all of you are having a great summer. We have been really busy with weddings and have fallen behind in keeping you updated here. On top of all of that we made the decision that we needed to head in a new direction with our website and it needed to be something that was easier to deal with and keep updated. I took a week off of our production and worked on getting the new site off the ground. It is online now and currently has some new photos within it. We really like the site and the size of the photos that we are allowed to use. So far everyone that has seen it has given us very positive feedback. We are planning to add some galleries that will include photos from specific weddings as well as a couple of albums that we have created. Hopefully that will be done in about a week. Take a look at it and be sure to let us know what you think of the new site.

A birthday gift for a Marine

Thursday, July 10, 2008

Awhile back we did a shoot with one of our future brides Caitlin. Her fiance, Alex, is a Marine stationed in Iraq and she wanted to send him a nice photo of herself for his birthday. We had to keep everything top secret so it would be a surprise which is part of the reason for the delay in posting it here. So we took Caitlin to a local spot to get some some nice shots of her. The entire time she kept telling us how she takes terrible photos. After we started shooting, I had to stop and ask her if she was sure she had never modeled before. She was giving us some smoldering looks that just had to be for Alex. The shots turned out great and we were stoked to hear Alex’s reaction. Caitlin couldn’t keep a secret and spilled the beans so Alex knew they were coming, he just didn’t know what they looked like. We heard he was pretty excited about the photos. We are praying for him to get back home safely and be able to do their engagements and then their wedding. Take a look and feel free to comment on the photos.

Sunset on the Texas Gulf Coast

Wednesday, June 4, 2008

A couple of weeks ago we did an engagement shoot with a super sweet couple from Austin. They drove down and wanted to have sunset shots taken on the beach. The trouble is the sun doesnt set over the water in Galveston. The other issue we were worried about was the weather. It was completely cloudy and threatening to rain all day. As most of the native Houstonians know, wait an hour and the weather will change. We had planned to go to the Strand and get some urban grunge shots in before heading to the beach. After looking at the weather and deciding we would be better off going straight to the beach, sure enough the weather decided to change. It actually cleared off for a short time and we took some awesome shots with these amazing clouds over the Gulf. Afterwards we headed to a special spot that allows you to get the sun setting behind you over water and were treated to a SPECTACULAR sunset.

Kelly and Michael were a little nervous at first since we didnt get to go downtown but they quickly got into the groove and let their love for each other show. They were a super attractive couple that really looked romantic as they walked the beach. We were so fortunate that they allowed us to tag along for there engagement photos. Take a look and I think you will like the shots.

Soccer Champs

Wednesday, May 28, 2008

Most of our time outside of photographing weddings and other fun stuff is spent chasing our daughters around the world as they play soccer. Our oldest is a scholarship player at the University of the Incarnate Word and our youngest plays in high school and for a nationally ranked club team in the Houston area. This last weekend the youngest daughter’s team played for the South Texas State Cup and won. So they became the South Texas State Champs and will be slotted to play in the regional tournament in North Carolina. We had alot of fun watching them play even though it was HOT outside. Mid 90′s in Houston can be brutal. Here are a few shots of her and her team.

The Youngest, all serious and stuff.
