Jessica + Joe = Happily Ever After

A few weeks ago I got to photograph the wonderful wedding of Jessica and Joe. The ceremony was at St. Vincent's Cathedral and the reception was at the Dallas World Aquarium. Two beautiful venues. Kyle Hennigan ran the show at the aquarium and it was amazing from the Japanese lanterns hanging from the ceiling to the sparkler exit. DJ Josh Smith kept the party going all night. My assistant Scott was awesome as well.
It was completely Unforgettable. I love engraved rings by the way. 
Getting ready...love all that going on here.
 Dress and shoes. Grace. Jessica was full of grace and beauty all night. 
A little help getting into the dress.
 She had an amazing cathedral length veil. Just wait until I post her bridals :)
 She sees him...he sees her. My favorite moment of the wedding. I love, love, LOVE when they open the doors and everyone is silent, all you hear is the music and the gasp when they see the bride. Gives me goose bumps every time. Then I look at the groom and see his face full of emotion. Honestly there is nothing better.
The kiss and a sweet moment just afterward.
Leaving the sanctuary.
 Love this one. They are so amazingly happy.
 The handsome men.
 The gorgeous girls.
 Some alone time at the church.
and at the Aquarium.
 Reception Details.
 So Jessica surprised Joe by getting his favorite musician to play their first dance on the saxophone. It was incredible.
 Cake.
 This is a cute one with the couple dancing next to the kids :)
 The fabulous garter toss. Yes...I'm a sports shooter, I can get that moment. 
 I like this one of her dancing with his dad and him dancing with his mom at the end of the evening. So sweet.
 Sparkler Exit.
 Leaving in a horse drawn carriage...now that's how you start a happily ever after.
 One last ring photos...if you remember their engagement portraits, they like to drink wine together, so I photographed their rings on the corks from the wine served at their reception.
 Congratulations! I hope you love them all!

Magnificent Madison

This evening I had the pleasure of photographing 23-day-old Madison. She is absolutely beautiful!
Look at those big gorgeous eyes!

 I love this background :)
 With Mommy, so sweet.
 Mom is totally awesome by the way, she had tons of props and ideas. Love that!
 With dad...too cute!
 A few of the props included a fun owl hat and a basket.

 And daddy's firefighter gear.
 The whole wonderful family. Just beautiful!
 And of course the sweet baby feet!
Thanks for letting me capture your precious memories. I'll have all your photos edited soon!

Scrapbook Page

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month so Lacey Bittner Designs and Designer Girl Scraps made a collab kit called Think Pink. I just happened to have the perfect photos of Kenzie to scrap with this kit so here is what I did to showcase the photos with this perfect for them kit. If you know Kenzie you know she has a Guardian Angel who passed away from Breast Cancer before she was born. I was lucky enough to meet Kenzie's grandma and I know what an amazing woman she was. Love these photos, love this kit, love this family.

Brooke and Briana :)

I don't get to spend a lot of time with my nieces but when we do get together we have lot of fun. A few weeks ago they came to the studio to take some new photos where we jumped and played and then went to lunch where of course I had  cake!
Yes, they are super cute!
 Briana. I think she gets that jump from me ;) Looks just like my jump in the studio, don't you think?
Umm...yes. This is me.
Now back to the family...
 Brooke! She's a fabulous model.

 The two girls together.
 Love this one.
 The whole family. Love you guys!

Sweet Summer is 3!

Last weekend was Summer's 3rd birthday and her mom had me come take some photos. She's a super fun little girl with tons of personality. She's grown up so much! You can see her 1 year photos and her 18 month photos. I love watching my models grow. What a cutie!
Last year she was super shy when I took her photo, but not this year :) We had lots of fun posing and laughing and smiling.
 Then we got out the halloween costume and it got even better :)
 Oh what fun you can have with a magic wand!
 Happy Birthday Summer!
