That’s right folks, it’s time for another installment of the A List.  Things I find cool, interesting, or random.  Here we go.

1. Rdio:  If I was granted one wish from Apple it would be for them to incorporate a subscription music service into iTunes.  I’m not sure the record labels will ever allow them to do it, but until they do Rdio is is where it’s at.  This is a website where you can listen to any song you want or download it to your phone for 10 bucks a month.  I’m sure many of you have and use Pandora, but I really love the ability to pick and choose what songs/albums I am listening to and Rdio makes this possible.  (There are also zero adds.)  They have a free trial, but I’m warning you.  You’ll be hooked.

2. Crocks: After putting them on the kids for a few years, Danielle finally talked me into trying a pair and I’m kinda hooked.  They are comfy and I don’t have to clip my toe nails as often as when I’m wearing flip flops. :)  I accidentally left the house wearing them with white socks the other day.  Holy moly I’m getting old.  Seriously.  Next thing you know I’ll show up to a wedding in them.  (They are black after all.)

3. YouTube Time Machine:  Crazy fun website where you move a dial and see clips that happened that year.  An easy way to kill 30 minutes at work.

Have fun on the interwebs kids.  I’ll be back soon.

Major, major props to both Ashely & Aric for being willing to do whatever I asked them to do during their session.  Couples like this make my job so much more fun.  Thanks for being so laid back.  Looking forward to your wedding at the incredible Villa Antonia in Austin, TX.

I can’t begin to say how much I love this shot.

Sarah & Chris had a fantastic afternoon wedding in Athens, TX.  When I first met with them they were unsure about doing a First Look, I’m so glad they changed their mind.  We were able to get so many great shots of just the two of them flirting and enjoying their wedding day.

How great is this first shot?

I ADORE couples who are totally lost in themselves during their first dance.  Justin of P3 Pro Sound did a great job keeping folks on the dance floor.

… speaking of the dance floor, this kid OWNED it.  He was all over the place.

If you look in the background you can see Jeff Heimer of JMH Pro.  Chris surprised Sarah by having him come film their wedding.  She was giddy when she found out.  (It almost beat out their First Look on the emotion scale.)

Hey, check it out.  It’s Erin & Chris of Erin & Chris fame. :)

Hope you guys are having a blast in Hawaii.

I have to be honest. I think I have the best job ever. :) I got home from the State Fair and woke up and went to a golf course. :) Not bad eh.

These two love them some golf so that’s where we started. Jessica has recently taken it up and told me she plans on practicing till she is able to beat Derek. (Sounds like the beginning of a great marriage.)

When Becca mentioned to me that they love any type of thrill ride I knew right away that the State Fair would make the perfect setting for their engagement session.  I would blab on and on about how much fun we had but I’ll let the photos to the talking.  Also, make sure and watch the little video I put together of our evening at the end of this post. :)

Here is the video I made.  I’m thinking of offering something like this with certain engagement sessions.  If you are interested let me know. :)
