Amanda + Matt + Camping + Celine Dion?

Tuesday, March 2, 2010 3:46 pm 12 comments

Amanda & Matt are the exact type of couple I LOVE to photograph.  They are totally into each other and trusted me with whatever ideas I tossed their way.  Because these two have been dating since high school they are practically already an old married couple.  They seem to know what each other are thinking and are already finishing each others sentences.  When Amanda mentioned how much they love to go camping we both agreed Tyler State Park would make a perfect setting for their engagement session.

One of my favorites.


True story.  She totally climbed up on her own and went all Titanic on us.
Also a true story: He started singing My Heart Will Go On.

Thank you guys for a great afternoon.  See you in June!

Very Cute! I love that its not your typical staged photos somewhere in the city, etc – its camping, and that’s where I would expect to find them on any given weekend :)

Lara - March 6, 2010 - 1:36 pm

I like the one with you in the background, with the tall trees. :) And the one with Amanda in the stump is fun.

Extreme Makeover Home Edition | Mineola

Sunday, February 28, 2010 9:09 pm 8 comments

Has anyone heard anything about Extreme Makeover Home Edition coming to Mineola??? I’m kidding.  It’s probably ALL you have heard about for the past few days, so you may already be sick of the whole thing.  But, for those of you who are interested in more, I have had an inside look at this whole thing for a little while now.

I was contacted a few weeks ago about doing some behind the scenes shooting for when EMHE would be filmed.  I jumped at the chance and could not wait to get started.  This also led to me being able to photograph the Carr family before they went on vacation.  The show likes to do some family portraits so they have tons of images to fill up the new house.  (That is a crazy blog post with a story all of it’s own that I’ll tell you about later.)

It has been a blast being “on set” the past few days and here are just a few of the shots I’ve captured.

Anyway, if you want to find out more and learn about this amazing little family, you should go to the Bayless Construction website.  They are the builders heading up the project.  You can also view a live feed of the construction here.

Oh…. I guess the main reason you stuck with the post was because you were hoping to see a photo of Ty right?  Here is a shot of him right after they showed up and told the Carr’s they were getting a new house.

Engaged People + Snow = I (Heart) These Photos

Friday, February 26, 2010 6:09 am 3 comments

So the same day I did Brianne’s snow bridal session I snuck one of my favorite 2010 couples out into the cold for a few photos.  I knew from their kick butt engagement session that these guys would do great in any setting.  Here are a few of my favorites.

I’m really looking forward to Jean’s bridal session!

Brianne | The Snow Bride

Wednesday, February 24, 2010 7:06 am 5 comments

So last time it snowed you were treated to a couple of posts of my kids outside playing.  Well, this time, we played even harder, but I’m pretty sure you’re tired of seeing them so how about a bridal session in the snow!  I called a few of my past brides yesterday morning and told them if they were in town and could throw their dress on they would be treated to a free bridal session.  Brianne was an Elmwood Gardens bride a couple of years ago and she called me back right away and was ready to go in 1 hour.  (Did you catch that ladies? She went from sitting at home with her 2 year old, to in a dress, hair up, makeup on in 1 hour!!!!  No more excuses about running late on the wedding day.)

She told me every time she sees her wedding dress she wishes she could put it on and wear it around again so I was thrilled to make her Christmas wish come true. :)

Two quick facts about the session.
1: I only wore sweatpants and a t-shirt so that I would be reminded of how cold it was outside and not freeze her to death.
2. We were only outside a total of 9 minutes.  It was my shortest bridal session ever, but I’m pretty happy with the results.

Those pictures look sooo cool! Brave bride standin in the cold in just that dress! I’m a wimp when it comes to the cold! lol. Pictures definitely turned out great though! Nice job!

Brianne - February 24, 2010 - 10:19 am

So, Wes totally agrees that I looked like the white witch in Narnia:) Thanks so much for giving me this oppurtunity. I can’t wait to see the rest of them!

Amy - February 24, 2010 - 11:29 am

For 9 minutes that is so amazing! It’s kinda too bad we don’t have snow more often around here – the dress plus the trees with snow on them is breathtaking.

Tammy - February 24, 2010 - 1:00 pm

third one down is my favorite, it’s simply lovely.

Lilli Craddock - February 25, 2010 - 2:06 pm

Loveliness!

JMH Pro | Wedding Vendor Interview

Tuesday, February 23, 2010 9:55 am No comments

I love me some wedding video.  I also love me some nice wedding videographers.  Jeff Heimer of JMH Pro fit both of those categories.  He is a talented videographer based out of Tyler.  He does great work and is really nice to work with.  We worked a wedding a little while back at Elmwood Gardens and I have hung out with him a few times since then.  This guy is the real deal and the type of person you want involved on your wedding day.

Here are a few shots from the wedding as well as him in action. :)

On to the interview!

How did you get started, how long have you been doing this?
I have been involved in wedding video since 1992.  Ever since high school days.

What is your favorite part about your job?
I like making the newlyweds feel like movie stars.  I love capturing those special moments during the wedding and knowing right then, “This is gonna look amazing on video!”

What are some things brides should look for when looking for a videographer?
Brides should look for creativity and quality. Look through a videographer’s previous work for style and attention to detail.

Why should brides book a videographer?  Aren’t you just going to get the same shots the photographer gets?
Some of the coolest videos I still have are of my grandparents during Christmas.  I can see them move AND hear them talk.  True.  A good videographer works closely with the photographer, but to have the “moving memories” as well?  That’s truly priceless.

What is something unique to your service that you are extra proud of?
I’m so proud to use new and fresh ideas for wedding video.  It makes “working” way more fun.
