Brandi & Tom will be getting married at The White House Ranch in October. We used the grounds as the backdrop for the engagement shoot, with me almost getting killed by fire ants in the process!! Word to wise, don't wear sandals in an open field...anyway, on to the photos.

Bobbie wanted to do something a little more contemporary for her bridal session so I suggested we go to the Washington area near one of my favorite spots, Catalina Coffee Shop. It's a great, quite cafe to hang out in if you're ever in the area. Bobbie will be getting married this coming September so look out for her and her handsome fiance Kyle soon. Check her out!

I met Amanda & Ben at a wedding I shot earlier this year. Amanda was one of the bridesmaids at her cousins wedding and they were such a fun group. She saw the slideshow that I displayed at the wedding and asked for a card, letting me know that she was getting married also!
Well it happened, Amanda & Ben were married this month at Hotel Zaza! It was amazing, I can't wait to start selecting photos to blog from her wedding. In the meantime, here are a few from their engagement session. I love it when my clients collaborate with me for ideas for their engagement shoots to make them more personal! We started off at Amy's Ice Cream and then finished up near River Oaks. Check these two out!

I met Lauren last year when she coordinated a wedding I shot at Shirley Acres. She is probably one of the most fun people I've worked with and we've kept in touch since then. A few weeks ago she called me and told me she wanted to surprise her mom with some photos of her and her siblings for Mother's Day! So we went out to the warehouse district downtown and did an urban family shoot. Lauren told me that her mom "cried" when they gave her the images framed as a present. What an awesome gift huh ;)

Lately I've been thinking about some of the reasons I like shooting wedding photography. I've come to realize that it's "photographing people" that I'm really attracted to. With weddings there are so many parts to the day (details, candids, scenery) which I love to, but I find that I enjoy doing portraits of my couples the most. Then I got to thinking, "Maybe I should expand into doing more portraits" and that's how Akil Bennett Seniors came about!
I've been working on a website the past few weeks and it should be ready very soon! Being a young photographer myself, it's pretty easy for me to relate to teenagers and I love the fun and energy they bring to their shoots! I'm really looking forward to this. A natural light downtown loft is currently in the works so I can do shoots inside in addition to the locations I already use around town. We all know how hot it gets in Houston so having an air conditioned studio downtown will be nice!
I'm currently looking for 2010 graduates who would like to be senior reps for their schools. If you're interested, email me at akilbennettphoto@mac.com to get more info!

The 5th one is my favorite. Love the lighting in that shot.
