Jennifer & Jeb had a fantastic wedding this past Saturday at the Villa di Felicita.  Here are a few of my favorite images.  I’ll be giving them a full blog post in the coming days so stay tuned.

The past months I have been dreaming of a way to combine my favorite aspects of the sessions I offer.

The flirty “coupleness” of Engagement sessions.

The fashion side of my Bridal sessions.

The commitment and marriage part of Wedding days.

It’s with much fan fare and pride that I present you with a new session that I’ll be offering.  (Drumroll)

Rock the Frock

That’s right.  This is your chance to put on your wedding dress and go crazy.  There is only 1 requirement.  You HAVE to be married to qualify for these.  Whether it’s been 1 day, 1 year or 100 years all you need is a signed marriage license to have me shoot this session.  Rock the Frock sessions are a great chance to get dressed up again and enjoy your wedding duds.

This past year when we had some snowfall I called up Brianne, a past bride, and asked her if she would put on her dress again.  She said, “Of course!  Everyday I see my dress in the closet and wish I had an excuse to wear it.”  What she said is part of why I wanted to offer these sessions so much.  I can already tell these sessions are going to be some of my favorites.  There is no way to explain just how much more comfortable couples are with each other after a few years of marriage.  You’re more confident, you understand each other better, you flirt better, you photograph better.  It’s a win-win for everyone.

Who should do a Rock the Frock session?
Everyone.
Couples I have shot before who want more photos.
Couples who could not book me for their wedding day.
Couple who have been married 1 day.
Couple who have been married longer than 1 day. :)
Everyone.

If I have shot your wedding or am booked to shoot your wedding, you get a special deal.
The first 5 couples who book one of these sessions will get it at half price!! :)

So my very first Rock the Frock session are the uber-cool Bethany & Nathaniel.  They were married 2 years ago.  Bethany works for VowNow and Nathaniel is a super cool airplane pilot.  On to the images!

Bethany & Nathaniel also had some tips on holding hands and shared their thoughts on the session.

I came across this on a few photography sites I visit and figured you all would enjoy it.  Here is a teaser image.

Visit Donnan Photo for the full scoop.  It will make your day.

I had such a great shoot today with Bethany & Nathaniel.  I can’t wait to give them a full posting of blog love later this week, but could not resist sharing a few images. :)  Enjoy.

A quick Monday post about Dinosaurs.  Just what you would expect to find on every great wedding photography blog. :)  Last week was Kids Week at our house.  We swapped boys & girls with our friends and then one night they all stayed at our place and the next night they all went to their place.  The last day all 10 of us went to Dino World in Glen Rose, TX.  There was no birthday or particular reason for going.  Kids Week is just something we started a few years ago.  A chance for them to celebrate being kids.  We eat lots of junk food, stay up late, play lots of video games, build a fire, camp in the living room.  Crazy stuff kids want to do all the time. :)

Kids week is about embracing who these little people are right now.  It’s about ice cream with cherries, pineapples, whip cream, and cookie crumbs.  It’s about finding the joy in driving 3 hours to look at life size dinosaurs.  The older we get the more we look towards the future as “better”.

Once I graduate high school and go off to college…

Once I get my degree and get a real job…

Once we finally get married…

Yeah that’s right. I totally turned a post about dinosaurs into a post about how you are missing the joy in your engagement. :)  Enjoy the process.  Live it up.  Flirt.  You have the rest of your life to be married.  You only have the next few months to be engaged.  Find ways to make it something memorable and not something you just check off your wedding planning list. :)
