It's out, go grab a copy

A while back I mentioned how Carrie Sellman contacted me about shooting some cake pictures for her. Well the cake in question was designed especially for this little spread in the Summer 2008 issue of The Bride and Bloom magazine that's out on stands now. The magazine is great for brides looking to get good floral, cake and decor ideas for their wedding. They even have sections for the guys as well as little bookmarks for him and her. Be sure and check out Carrie's site, even though we're losing her locally as she's moving out of the area, she still has some great cake! And I would know... but she also has quite a few pictures on her site from weddings that we've done together. Congrats to fellow Misfits member and Photographer Cesar on his pics including another cake from Carrie. Here's the magazine and spread and a few different pics of the cake.

Thanks again Carrie!

Chris & Mandy's E-Session in Downtown McKinney

Chris & Mandy met me in McKinney a few weeks back for an early morning E-Session. Their wedding is coming up soon in Comanche, OK and it wasn't to long ago that she was a Bridesmaid in Krystle's wedding. It's always nice getting friend referrals from past weddings or even better referrals from someone you worked pretty closely with at the wedding like a Bridesmaid. Chris and Mandy were up for anything, even laying in the grass with the wet morning dew without a seconds of hesitation. They were great to work with and I can't wait for her bridals and then their wedding (and maybe time to hit the Casino for some Poker afterwards). Check out the pics:

A little Coffee Shop closeness


A quick click as we crossed the street


Loved the color separation here...


Great feeling on this one


Lots of bright sun made for lots of shadow play


who doesn't have time for a quick fire escape kiss


some more shadow play to end the shoot.

Thanks you two, looking forward to a fun wedding.

Jeromy & Mandy's Wedding at Rose Chapel in Ft. Worth

Jeromy & Mandy of Red Brick Photography had their wedding a few weeks back (ok, a month ago) on Leap Year Day at the Rose Chapel in Ft. Worth. I have been trying to catch up on blog posts and hope to do so very soon. I need like two days to go through and blog everything! Here's the pics:

Mandy's gorgeous cake


and if themes are your thing, then shoes and Batman were the theme for the wedding. Jeromy's cake of Gotham with Batman & Catwoman standing guard.


The sweet Batman cuff links Mandy got Jeromy

When the groomsmen are wearing Chuck's and the Bride has shoes like this, you gotta show 'em off!


Cuff links on!


A little paint by light before the ceremony...


and another just for the heck of it!

Couples are the happiest at the little moment walking down the aisle together.


The whole gang shoe shot!

Their reception room has a great stage with some gorgeous color behind it.

Congrats you two!
