Glenn & Sarah's Wedding in Flower Mound

Glenn and Sarah had a lovely wedding at the Flower Mound Presbyterian church and then moved on to the Bridlewood Golf Course for the reception. They were such a cute couple and decided to meet before the ceremony for all the pictures to make for a quicker trip to the reception... and to leave us some play time with just the couple. I suggest this on every wedding! Spend 15-30 minutes after the formals and we'll get some way cooler pics like below! Here's a few pictures:

The Bouquet


The get away car after the ceremony with the ball and chain hanging from the rear view mirror and the lovely hood ornament


The hood ornament


The start of that alone time I was mentioning, heading out to the fairway


Some off camera flash


Available light PDA on the bridge


Out dodging golf balls on the course with some sweet light on the hill!


The first dance after they made their first entrance as a couple


Sure, I know how cute...


but how cool to have a guy doing caricatures at your wedding, was a big hit with everyone


Some details, not the food, the rings!


First dance with Dad, I'll be doing this same thing someday... twice...


Mother-Son dance, have I mentioned I love video lights so much, I went and bought my own!


Stealing some more video light, I love working with good videographers


I loved the Dad's shadow from the toast


Ok, everyone knows I am a cake hound and even have it my contract, but this was a first! The groom had Pokey O's instead of a grooms cake, and there is nothing better than a homemade ice cream sandwich with Blue Bell and homemade cookies.


Thanks Glenn and Sarah for allowing me to share in your special day and congratulations!

Sarah & Charles Wedding in McKinney, TX

What would I be, if I didn't blog one more wedding from the Bingham House... I am so far behind on blogging that engagements and other portrait sessions are totally out the window now. Charles and Sarah had a lovely wedding at the Bingham House in McKinney, TX and made my second e-harmony wedding that I know of. Sarah had the Japanese theme down right down to her bridals taken at the Japanese Gardens and the Ft. Worth Botanical Gardens. They were both Marines and there were a few Marine things I will point out.

First the rings... and I loved the engravings Semper Fidelis

The groom cake, Marine themed of course

The brides lovely cake...

The groom getting ready with the guys...

All decked out and ready to go...

The lovely bride relaxing before the "I Do"...

As a dad of two daughters, I have to throw in a cute flower girl...

The talented Don Shannon...

The guy is a bagpipe king, he's played for her Majesty the Queen, Prince Philip, Prince Charles, Prince Andrew, Tony Blair, Sarah Ferguson, George W. Bush, Rod Stewart and even appeared on ABC's Good Morning America as well as playing for the Byron each year! This is the bagpipe guy you want, no doubt about it!

The vows...

Leaving after the ceremony in Pearl...

The First Dance!


Thanks guys, I enjoyed it very much!

Merry Christmas

Last year I gave you Mele Kalikimaka, but since I didn't have a X-Mas song to share this year, I bring you Abby Montana!




Abby made out on the Hannah Montana and Disney Princess stuff while I raked in the iTunes gift cards, a GPS so I don't get lost on the way to your wedding, a whole slew of new duck calls and a new DVD Printer to print all your discs! Abby and Emily got a swing set for their big gift from Santa and brother elf and dad elf helped put together all day Sunday. Anyways, Merry Christmas and enjoy the video of my little toots!

Chris & Mindy's Wedding at the Bingham House

Mindy and Chris had a lovely wedding at the Bingham House in McKinney a little while back and of course I have to share some of my favorites. Ok, I have been thinking of ways I can get more people to comment on the blog, so here it is. Mindy and Chris get a 5x7 print for every comment they receive during December. Enjoy the pics, as always to view their wedding images, type in the couples last name followed by the 6 digit wedding date. For example if their last name is Smith and they got married Jan, 1 2008... it would be "smith010108".


Some details shots to start, the lovely wedding ring

and of course the shoes
