Here's a small teaser of my first ever GQ "Groom" shoot!  I photographed a bridal shoot for Danilo's future bride Stephanie last week (amazing shoot btw...can't wait to show those) and they decided they'd like to have a portrait of Danilo at the wedding as well.  I actually had a lot of fun photographing this and I hope this inspires more grooms to do the same!  They're getting married next Saturday at The Heights Theatre and judging by their individual shoots it's going to be stylin'!

Ryann and Damen got married this past rainy Saturday!  There are a ton of images I'd like to show from their wedding but I'll start with this one.  It had been raining all day and after we spent about 45 minutes doing portraits, the sun finally decided to come out.  So I had to take them out again and I'm glad I did.  I was able to capture one of my favorite wedding images of all time.

I was looking through some of my old bridal shoots today for photos to put on my new iPad ;) and came across this shoot!  Rachel was a lot of fun to work with, she got married last December.  Here are a few favorites that made the "bridal" section on the iPad!

On a side note, if anyone know a someone I can talk to about my apple addiction that would be very helpful.  I drove around to 3 stores this morning trying to find an iPad in stock!  My studio is now beginning to look like a mac store.  I may have a problem.

I'm still recovering from WPPI in Vegas last week!  Soon as I got back on Thursday I was playing catch up around the office and then I shot a stunning wedding at Hotel Zaza that Saturday.  Combine that with the 2 weddings I have this weekend and I'll have a few crazy weeks ahead of me.

With that being said, it was really cool meeting so many new photographers from around the WORLD and connecting with my local Houston network as well.  This year was the most beneficial to my business by far and I'm excited to implement some of the tips I picked up from the 3 classes I went to!

Here's an image that I took while in Vegas last week.  The location was about 30 minutes off the main strip, I'm really hoping I get a chance to shoot out here again!  If any of my couples would like to do a destination engagement shoot in the desert, I'm down!!
