David & Pam's Wedding at Wilshire Baptist Church

David & Pam had a sweet little wedding at Wilshire Baptist Church in Dallas last month. Pam & David both looked stunning with their family and friends there to celebrate such a great wedding. David tops the list for the best gift given to his bride though! Pam used to do a little modeling and once modeled for an old Stingray and David now has the poster hanging very proudly of his new wife, so check out the gift of a rebuilt red Corvette Stingray!

This shot was easy to take from the front walk.


This one was a little harder standing in the South Bound Lane of Abrams! (even with the wide angle)


The stunning Pam getting ready


I loved this one as she headed upstairs


The wedding cake


David & His Sister


Time for Pam's surprise gift (notice the closed eyes)


and for the reveal...


and the shock of the gift!


The rebuilt Corvette Stingray just like she once modeled


Pam had to take a little seat in her new ride


Then she decided to be in the perfect parking lot light for some sweet available light shots.
Fotog note: 1/100 sec, f1.2, 1000 ISO, Available light, almost SOOC with a little contrast bump


The happy couple (Same settings)


Some table details


This one cracked me up with the guy over her left shoulder. He's really sad, but looked embarrassed that she was cutting her own beef in the wedding dress.


The lavender smelled great!


Congratulations you two and enjoy the ride Pam!

Jason & Meagan's Wedding at St. Ann's Catholic Church

Jason & Meagan got married last month at St. Ann's Catholic Church in Coppell. It is a great church and has tons of great picture spots out in the courtyard all ruined by the rainy day we were having. That didn't stop us though, we just used some of the great arches surrounding the courtyard and the windows inside. The Ceremony was also a great spot with an awesome ornate backdrop for the wedding. Although, it doesn't make it easy on the lighting difference of the couple and backdrop, but I pushed the edge just enough to not blow out the detail of the backdrop while still sticking to the "no flash" rule. Check out the pics...

My birthday (Tax Day) is rapidly approaching and I thought I would give everyone some hints, I mean gift ideas. I'll be a little over 30...that's all I'm saying!

Blackrapid photo strap (cuz I use the hand grip and this mounts to the tripod nut)!


Of course, these are always good too! (Buy Red when you can)



Or these...



And of course after all those healthy drinks, this would come in handy (Buy Red when you can)


When used with one of these...

Happy Birthday to my Lovely Wife!

Yes, I have a wedding on my wife's birthday... but I did ask before hand if she really wanted me booking on her birthday and she said as long as got a good gift! We celebrated a little early and went to Cantina Laredo (yummy) last night and then ate some Sprinkles Cupcakes (if you haven't tried the St. Patricks Day cupcake with Belgian chocolate and Baileys Irish cream cheese frosting, you only have two more days) for dessert. Here's a pic of my beautiful wife (although, she always turns the frown face when I point the camera) so I decided I will just post those and maybe then she will smile for a few!

A little texture play...

Sprinkles Cupcakes which also does Cupcakes for weddings!!!

Katie & Kyle's E-Session

Katie & Kyle met me in downtown McKinney for an evening engagement session and because Kyle is a huge film, buff, so we hit it off and Katie works for Starbucks, so she's my new best friend! She has bribed me with lots of mochas, even though she doesn't work at a store, she's like Coffee Security at the headquarters here.

Show me some photos already...

Ok, don't tell Starbucks that Katie was in this little coffee shop downtown McKinney! Shhh... and drinking coffee....


everybody loves the red brick, but I love this shot...


This little spot is one of my faves, and I have yet to see anyone else use it... maybe cuz you have to go past a few smelly dumpsters!


It was a little chilly, but flare helps...


I love this one of Katie pulling her best model pose in the dry winter grass!


Look for their wedding in a few weeks.

I love this song, below.
