Dominique + Ryan : Magnolia Hotel Wedding

Tue, 31 Aug 2010 19:29:00 -0600

This wedding post has been way overdue...I actually shot Dominique and Ryan's wedding last November! I've actually become good friends with them since then, Ryan recommended the jeweler for my wife's wedding ring (who was excellent btw). They had their reception at the Magnolia Hotel and Shannon from Rendezvous Events coordinated the day.

I'll be digging up a few more weddings from late last year and early this year to blog as well. For now, check these out!

Magazine Feature in Weddings In Houston

Thu, 26 Aug 2010 13:38:58 -0600

One of the weddings I photographed earlier this year, Alison & Richard, has been published in the latest issue of Wedding In Houston! This is my first Real Wedding feature with Weddings In Houston. It was really cool seeing my work printed in a magazine and Allison & Richard were pretty ecstatic about it too!

While I was flipping through the magazine I noticed that a lot of the images that I've taken over the past few years were featured as well. Not wedding features but just an image here and there that I've provided for other wedding vendors that they've used for their ads. Pretty sweet!

Danilo Groom Portrait

Fri, 11 Jun 2010 11:23:08 -0600

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 + Damen

Thu, 20 May 2010 18:29:08 -0600

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.

Alex bought be a instax mini polaroid camera for my birthday last month! I wanted to test it out before we leave for Costa Rica next week so I took a few shots outside my studio over here in the heights. So far I like it...I'm looking forward to seeing what it can do at a beautiful, sunny location. It's kind of gloomy out today. Anyway, here are a few frames...enjoy.

Uptown Park Bridal Portrait

Tue, 06 Apr 2010 20:13:30 -0600

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.
