Cara and John's wedding was a pleasure from beginning to end! They had a great wedding planner and not only did the whole day flow smoothly (and on time), but John and Cara got to relax and enjoy every part of it. Heather from Hill Country Events was so fun and easy to work with and made the day awesome for everyone from the bridal party to the vendors. The slide show is set to the song from their first dance...hopefully John will forgive me for not using the Paul McCartney version :)
Elmwood Gardens! The chandeliers outside just make my heart happy! I'd like to take a moment to recognize make-up artist Cheryl McKay. She has done the make up at several of my recent weddings, including this one, and she does beautiful work! I worked as a make-up artist early in my career and really appreciate the art of well applied make-up. I also love that she doesn't bat an eyelash when I squeeze into her space to get great detail shots! You can reach her at 903-530-6556.
Allison and Ikey were just married in Longview last weekend, on my 10th wedding anniversary! When you're a wedding photographer, that's what you do on your anniversary :)
Ashley and John were married at The Legacy in Jacksonville, which is owned by Ashley's parents. Their wedding is featured in this month's Wedded Bliss magazine. Also, check out a clip of their wedding video from videographer Nathan Browning of A Thousand Words Productions.
Kacie and Phil met before their wedding at LeTourneau's Speer Chapel. They really planned their meeting thoughtfully. While music played softly in the quiet of the chapel where they would later exchange vows, they prayed and washed each others feet. The whole experience was incredibly sweet and intimate. Getting to be a fly on the wall during moments like these is why I love my job so much.
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. :)
