As were were finishing up Jessica’s session at the Villa di Felicita they were putting up their Christmas tree. (Not with the style and flair we do, but still, it was fun to see.) In fact, with only 18 days to go till her wedding, Jessica had to be talked OUT of staying in her dress after the bridal session. Every time I would show her one of the images on the back of the camera she would let out a squeal of excitement. I am so looking forward to this wedding. :)

Sometimes Sara likes to sit in my lap while I edit images. She always has interesting comments and when this one popped up she said, “Uh… you can’t really see her very good.”

This one was in the back of her late brother’s truck. He gave it to her a day before he passed away. It is obviously very special to her and I was so glad we were able to got some images with it.

Thanks for a great session Jessica, see you soon!

I had so much fun on Erin’s bridal session. Her engagement session was a blast (they were a Same Day Edit) so I knew that this one would be great as well. I’m already looking forward to starting 2010 with a bang with their Jan 2nd wedding!

The 67 Firebird was cool, but it was not the best prop she had for the session. (trust me)

It’s almost impossible to catch her not smiling or giggling.

Erin has a great voice and is in the music program at UT Tyler. The stage was a natural fit…

Remember that comment about a the “best” prop. How about an opera helmet! Best. Prop. Ever.

About 5 minutes into Megan’s bridal session she became my least favorite bride of 2009. Here is the problem. Megan found out about me and booked me AFTER she had booked her wedding photographer. Boo. However, she liked my work enough to ask me to do her bridal session. Yeah! Then I met her and started her session and realized that the bridal session would not be enough and I wish I was shooting her wedding in a few months. Boo again.

In all seriousness it was an absolute blast to work with both Megan and her mom. It was super hot the day of the session so they suggested doing some “in their house”. Let me be blunt. This is typically not an idea I jump up and down about, most houses are not designed to host bridal sessions, they are designed to live in. Once I walked into their house however I pretty much felt like I was in photography heaven. Super cool furniture, great lighting, and the perfect dress/bride combo to complete the look. Enough blabbing. Enjoy…

My new favorite picture.

My new second favorite picture.

I totally could not pick just one to blog.

At her house Megan’s mom also told me about a “friend who has a great back yard”. (Another phrase that gives me chills.) Again, nothing against back yards, but potted plants, and green grass do not a Secret Garden make. But, being polite and well paid, I played along and hoped for the best.

Ladies and gentlemen… I give you the Best. Backyard. Ever.

Tyler, Texas everybody.

Thanks so much for an amazing session. I can’t wait to get you the rest of your images and am still mad at you for getting married without me. :)

We ran all over Tyler for Kim’s session and got some of my favorite images to date. here are just a few of them.

We started at the Villa De Felicita where her wedding will be.  

We stopped by the Goodman Museum. They had lots of old stuff and basicaly everything looks amazingly cool in a photograph, especially Kim.  

Next up was The Cascades where they have a great golf course and super cool wine cellar.  

If you remember from their engagement session Kim and Josh are both HUGE Aggie fans so of course she had to get her 12th man on.
(This girl throws a wicked spiral. She almost hit my camera a few times.)  

The Heisman Pose, with a bit of laughing mixed in.
