Cortney and her mom, Tina worked so hard to make this wedding beautiful. It was a pleasure to see their shared joy (and relief) as they watched it all come together! Nick and Cortney's minister read letters they had written to her about why they love and chose one another during the ceremony and nobody could help but cry as their words were read. Add to that a topless groomsman, a few dance-offs and a full moon and you've got one memorable wedding. See more here.
I would like to thank fellow photographer Allen Arrick, whose work appears in this show. It was a pleasure to have him along for this shoot! Jonathan and Miranda met before their wedding and also slipped away during their reception for a romantic (and relaxing) sunset shoot. What could be better? A quiet moment to reflect and some awesome images to make the sweetness last forever! See their preview here.
Rob and Jolinda were awesome to work with and I will always remember their ceremony because the message was so beautiful. I hear lots and lots and lots of ceremonies too, so that's really saying something! I also want anyone who's on the fence about whether to meet before the ceremony to pay special attention to this post. Notice how many fun and romantic pictures they have? They were all taken before the ceremony and yet...you will still find a picture of Rob wiping away tears after Jolinda walked down the aisle. See more here.
We shot Cara's bridal in Houston on what may have been the hottest day of the year. She will always have my respect and admiration for keeping her sunny disposition despite the crushing heat...in twenty pounds of dress! I will also always love her for being my first bride to show up with a pair of beautiful, peacock blue Manolo's! Also, a huge thanks to the Southwest Texas School of Law for hosting us.
While I do shoot other subjects, my work is mainly dedicated to documenting the beauty, emotion and sometimes chaos that is holy matrimony. There are sacred traditions we all recognize, but each wedding is as unique as the couple it binds together. Therefore my approach is to capture the day as it unfolds, with as little interference as possible. To document, and not direct. I also want us to have lots of fun in the process. Weddings should only be boring for little kids. If you like my work, please give me a call to set up an appointment. I’ll even spring for coffee. :)
