Wedding Photography: The Top 10 of 2010
Wedding Photography: The Top 10 of 2010

This is the last category of Top 10 images and it’s a good one.  Regardless of wedding venue, flowers, and all the planning that goes into a wedding day it’s ultimately about the two people getting married.  There is nothing I enjoy more than giving a couple a great photo of them on their wedding day.  Most of these came about because of them choosing to have a First Look.  It’s what allows us time to really have fun and capture some creative photos.

Since this is the last category I’m going to leave the voting open all weekend so get to work people.  check back Monday morning when the winners in each category are announced.  Each category winner will receive a 16×20 print of their winning image. So pick an image, vote, then get on your Twitter and your Facebook and make your friends come vote.

Here are the images.

Ring Photography: The Top 10 of 2010

Today’s category is Bling Bling Ring Ring. Check out these rocks. I LOVE shooting a couple’s rings. Look, anyone can throw rings on a flower pedal, but let’s be honest, your ring shot should reflect who you are as a couple. That’s what these are about.

Quick run down of the rules. You can vote on each category once. There will be a new category every day this week. Then the polls are closed and the winners will be announced Jan 17th. Each category winner will receive a 16×20 print of their winning image. So pick an image, vote, then get on your Twitter and your Facebook and make your friends come vote.

Here are the images.

Come back tomorrow for Top 10 Mug Machine goodness!

A few days before her session Natalie informed me that she is not a huge fan of being photographed.  :)  I aksed her to give me 20 minutes and if she didn’t like the process/results after then we would just quit.  Turns out it was not as bad as she expected and her and Jason ended up with an 1.5 hour long session!! :)

Fun with escalators.


I have no idea what this turtle means, but we could not resist including it in the photos.

This card was part of Jason’s proposal process so we had some fun working it into the session.


Random guy driving by who apparently wanted to be in the photo.
Thank you guys for a great session.  See you soon for your wedding!!

I LOVE when a couple booked The Mug Machine for their wedding reception.  I love it even more that Christina & Josh spent the month leading up to their wedding telling everyone about it. :)  I had guests asking me about it right before the ceremony.  Everyone was looking forward to it and they did not disappoint.  Here are a few of my favorites.

Wardrobe Malfunction


I still have a few of you June brides who have not added this to your package. :)  You know you want too.  It’s not too late. :)

Christina & Josh had what may be the most laid back/fun wedding I have ever attended.  Need proof?  Take a look.

Christina started her day getting her hair done at the Avalon Salon & Spa. :)

Here is a little taste of how cool this wedding was.  This was her bouquet from the rehearsal.  It was made from E-mails Josh had sent her when he was overseas serving in the military.

You may remember these two love Legos.  I borrowed their cake toppers for the ring shot.

Some First Look photo goodness.  It’s amazing how Josh totally relaxed the moment he saw Christina.
Reason To Have A First Look # 356: Talking with your bride with no one else around.
Reason To Have A First Look # 648: Kissing with your bride with no one else around.
Reason To Have A First Look # 176: Praying with your bride with no one else around.

Is it OK if we jump straight to the reception?  It was at the swanky and fun 300 Club in Addison.

Wanna see more from their wedding?  You’re in luck.  The Mug Machine was there and I’ll be posting those photos soon!
