Maria & Marco's wedding!!

I covered Maria (or Suzy) and Marco's wedding on September 27th and it was one of my favorite weddings to date. (I know, I say that alot, but I truly love weddings!!!)

Everything was gorgeous and well planned out, even though Hurricane Ike threw a few kinks in the plans. Suzy handled everything so calmly, I think I was more stressed about the big day than she was!! I sent her text messages from Dallas non-stop while all the "evacuation shenanigans" were going on! Wondering what in the world she was going to do if the power wasn't back on in Port Arthur or if the church suffered significant damage.

Everything worked out though! They simply moved the reception location and kept on trucking through to the 27th. It couldn't have been any more gorgeous!

Suzy and Marco are two amazing people who love each other so much and I was blessed to be a part of their special day!

Look for some of my favorite shots from their wedding coming soon!

Gracie 4.5

Well, my little girl is four-and-a-half years old now. It seems like she was just born yesterday, well, with the exception of her intellect it seems that way. She is beautiful, smart, and freaking hilarious!

This shoot was all her. She had watched me do a family shoot in our pasture the day before, right after hay had been baled, and wanted me to shoot her out there as well. She picked the dress, said she wanted her hair down, and the rest is history. We rode our four-wheeler out back and brought along a chair I found on the roadside (I do that a lot...old stuff rocks!).

G danced and skipped around a bale of hay then posed on and around the chair, gave me her "blue steel" look, then shoved her open hand at my camera and screamed, "no more pictures"! She jumped back on the four wheeler and said, "let's go, we're done"!

So, that's that. She's definitely my child! Here are my favorite shots from our "big" shoot....it lasted all of 10 minutes!

Amber & Justin

This past weekend I covered the wedding of Amber and Justin. Two beautiful people who so obviously love each other so much! What a fun wedding....everyone really enjoyed themselves at the reception and it shows in the pics! I had a really good time working for these two! It was a little more special though, because I already knew Amber and what an amazing person she is! Here are a few of my shots from the day!
