OK, so even though we are halfway done with January, is it still ok for me to do a quick look back on 2009?

Great. Here we go.

Last year I shot 162,668 images. That’s insane. That’s 445 photos per day.
Now granted, some of those were of my family, but seriously, I don’t have THAT many kids. :)

A big shout out to all my 2009 brides.

You were amazing.

Thank you for trusting me with your day.

Thank you for giving me the freedom to document and capture your day through my lens.

Thank you for helping me feed those kids I mentioned. :)

Thank you for helping me push my work to where it is today.

In case you missed any of them, here they are:
Ruth & Daniel | Emily & Heath | Britni & Chance | Josey & Sam | Polly & Nelson | J’Vonne & Lee | Linsey & Cade | Sara & Yan | Amanda & Royce | Jayme & Jake | Stefanie & Jeremy | Stephanie & Michael | Mandy & Derek | Chelsea & Tyson | Kim & Josh | Megan & Jacob | Neili & Steven | Rachel & Andrew | Lindsey & Justin | Mindy & Dustin | Davi & Jonathan | Erika & Phil | Kaylie & Matt | Mollie & Cliff | Laura & Chad | Jade & Justin | Salem & Chris | Sandra & Robert | Kourtney & Travis | Randall & Danny | Laura & Neil | Lilli & Cameron | Kristina & Nick | Jessica & Charlie | Norma & Jesus | Ellen & Jeromy | Melissa & Alex

Now…. as far are you 2010 brides go…. Erin, Jamie, Monica, Heather, Angela, Miranda, Christina (Come on… you know you wanna book. ;) Jean, Kristen, Brynne, Ashley, Brandy, Amanda, Adrienne, Megan, Heather, Jennifer, Julia, Jamie, & Kiffany, I can’t wait to work with you more and know that once you’ve been married for 40 something years and have grandkids running all around you, you’ll have some super fun photos to show them of back when “grandma” was young and cool. :)

Happy New Year! AlexM

P.S. Don’t worry, Britni, I still have you booked for 2011. :)

Right after I finished their engagement session, I started to get excited about Erin & Chris being my first wedding of 2010. These two were so much fun to work with and shoot. I could gush for hours about them as clients, but I’ll let their images convince you of just how smooth these two are.

They were married at Rose Heights Church in Tyler, TX. Rose Heights has all kinds of cool locations to shoot.
(Starting with the inside of the steeple.)

1st dress shot of the decade. Not a bad way to start.

Erin & Chris LOVE music. Erin starts with E. Chris starts with C. Band nerds take note. (“Note”, get it. Ha Ha)

Every bridesmaid in this wedding was a blast to work with.

This is one of my most-est favorite ceremony shots I have ever done.

More fun in the children’s rooms.

Every time I see a bride having a great Father/Daughter Dance it makes me want to make sure Sara still likes me when her wedding rolls around.

Erin’s expression on this one cracked me up.

Thank you two for helping me kick off the new year with a great wedding.

I’ll be posting more images soon.

Photographing a couples wedding rings is one of my favorite parts of the wedding day.  I LOVE incorporating something that’s special to them in the shots and because I have so much fun shooting them, it’s hard to only have 10…. so…. how about 15?!  Vote Away!
