Lauren & Daniel | Dallas Engagement Photography

Lauren & Daniel were so chill during their session.  They were up for anything and totally laid back.  It even drizzled a bit during their session but since she commutes to Seattle on a weekly basis that didn’t even phase them one bit.

Nothing can stop the awesome train that is Lauren & Daniel.

I am giddy about their June wedding.  (Hey Barbara of La Tee Da Flowers, you better bring your A-game to this one!)

Lauren & Brent | Anniversary Shoot

I shot Lauren & Brent’s wedding a little over 3 years ago.  They are one of my favorite past couples but it’s not because of their great style or awesome taste. (Although this things don’t hurt.)  The reason I love them so much is because they were and are still totally into each other.  Every time I’m around them I leave ready to go home and love my wife better.  They are killing it at being married.

Back in August Lauren E-mailed to say they wanted an themed anniversary session every 3 years and that this one would be a “vintage style shoot with a 50′s-60′s style dress and hair, bowtie and suspenders for brent, old fashioned bicycle, etc etc..”

This was my response: “you + brent + galveston + vintage = i’m in.”

6 months later here are the results.


If you think this shoot is great wait till you see what we come up with in 2015.;)

Rachael & Daniel | Wedding Photography Lake Tyler Petroleum Club

30 minutes after hanging out with Rachael & Daniel they became some of my favorite people.  It was an honor to capture the launch of their marriage and I loved seeing them fall more in love with each other as the day went on.  (Side note: To all you Tyler brides looking for a place to get married, you should visit Lake Tyler Petroleum Club.)


Because she is awesome, Rachael had a custom record made for Daniel with all of their wedding music on it.

Because he is awesome, Daniel had Adalante Catering make him a record cookie cake.

Daniel updating his Facebook status right before their First Look.

A very very serious group of groomsmen.

The great thing about pulling the ring out of a Cracker Jack box is having a snack for the rest of the wedding.

Cracker Jack or Record?  Which is your favorite?  Sound of in the comments.

It was my first time working with Lone Star Light & Sound and I loved them.  They did everything a great DJ should do.  Call them and book them.

Thank you two for being awesome.  I hope some of your awesomeness rubbed off on me.

Alex,

Thanks for the shout out on the blog! These pictures are great. Would you mind emailing them or making a cd for me? I would love to put some on the website and maybe use some for advertising if you don’t mind. We will give you credit for anything we use!

Thanks so much!

McKellar Maternity

I don’t shoot maternity sessions.  I think I have shot 5 in my whole life and 4 of those were for my wife.  But when my friends Vanessa & Brent McKellar became pregnant I knew I would be shooting a session.  We decided to go the cheesy route and I totally LOVE what we got.  I’ll explain a few along the way but for the most part these images should stand on their own.

Sometimes couples ask me “Why don’t we get every single image you shot at our session?”
Answer:  Because sometimes you both are talking and you look like this.

Selective Color For The Win!



Photoshop effects are fun!

Nothing says professional maternity photography quite like dressing a man up in a matching shirt and making him hold his wife uncomfortably.

Their hands make a heart.  Because they love the baby so much.


It’s like a Where’s Waldo game.

More awkward kissing and hugging.


For realz though these two are some of my favorite people ever.  They are having a baby next week and I can’t wait to see them be parents.  Go team McKellar!

So, to all you past brides out there who want a maternity shoot feel free to give me call.  Just be ready for the results.:)

Hysterical. I love it!

Coolest. Album. Ever.

SO ever since this album came in a few weeks ago I have been DYING to share it with you guys, but since it was a Christmas gift I had to put this post on hold. Well, Christmas has come and gone so I can finally blog it. Enjoy the video.

P.S. If you wanna see more from Nikki or Darcee’s wedding click on either name.

P.S.S. Staring next week I’ll be running the Top 10 of 2011 contest for 5 categories. (Wedding, Engagement, Bridal, Rings, & Mug Machine)
Great ready to win stuff!
