Life Unposed

{Roth-Reeves Wedding}

Whew, what a day!!  You could not have asked for more.  It seemed that everything went on without a hitch.  Take a look at some of the images from today.

First - Amber getting ready.

Then a casual image of the guys and the girls

The image below was taken by my wonderful husband.  I have to say... he is becoming quite the photographer. I have been talking to him about this shot.  I wanted him to capture the story...  I'm capturing the bride and her dad and he captures the groom watching the bride come down the aisle.

And finally a picture from the reception.  I can't remember if it was Nelly or Usher... but the groom had a little solo performance that was the best I have seen to date. This image might be PG-13... but look at everyone's expressions.  I was cracking up too.  It's amazing the image is in focus. 

This was a fun one.  Thanks for choosing us!

{Hall-Moss Wedding}

I have been looking forward to this day for quite some time.  Don't laugh when I say this.. this is the closest I have come to a destination wedding - Lake Grapevine.  I'm ready to go somewhere exotic- someone hire me to go to Mexico, Hawaii, the Caribbean. 

I told the Bride's Aunt Joanna that we were not in Waxahachie anymore when we saw the location. Take a peek at Jessica looking beautiful in her ivory dress.

I staged this "Girls hanging out" shot.  But they really were just hanging out.

The elegant invites with a touching quote that read, "For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife;  and they shall become one flesh." The bible verse is that famous one from Corinthians.

The ceremony has started in the image below.  The girls are coming down the aisle.   I look over to the groom for the photo op and one of the groomsmen catches me and gives me the "I see you... let me strike a pose" sign.  Not sure you can tell on this - but it sure did make me laugh tonight.

And then just moments after becoming man and wife - the two slip away.  And the gentleman that he is - he helps her hold her dress up as she walks.  A tender moment forever captured.

Hector and I had a fantastic time capturing this wedding.  Both families were extremely kind to us.  We thank everyone involved for making sure we were taken care of. 

Be Good!

{Kelsey's Bridals}

 

Can you BELIEVE she laid in the grass in her BRAND NEW wedding dress??  Kelsey was so awesome.  She was game for anything which makes me VERY happy.  You'll be sure to see some more of her images on the blog and website in the near future.  I laughed at her breaking out into her Bridal Magazine Poses in between shots.  She had a Mary Tyler Moore moment at the library.  Wait until you see the picture of her spinning in middle of the street - so unbelievably cute.

If you can't tell - I am just gushing over her.  She really was the best. And going through all of her images I saw that she has so many different looks.  And did I mention that she has dimples? 

Be Good!

{Lane And Brittany}

Hector and I had the privilege of photographing Lane and Brittany's wedding tonight.  The bride was beautiful in an ivory lace gown with a cream sash. The bridesmaids wore green and the flowers were an exquisite fresh pink and green combination by the talented Courtney and Villa Flora. 

They had a beautiful ceremony at First Assembly of God in Waxahachie.  Complete with a very enthusiastic "I do" and a little excitement after lighting the unity candle.

Later, the reception was held at The Civic Center. There was a very popular candy station in one corner.  Food in another.  It appeared as the food, drink and dance were enjoyed by all.

To both the Bride and the Groom, and their respective families-  Thanks for letting us be part of your special night.  We had a great time and enjoyed sharing every minute with all of you. Congratulations and have fun on the honeymoon!

It's 2:15 am - time for bed!!

Be Good!

{Amber's Bridals}

We went out to Las Colinas today to photograph Amber's Bridal Portraits.  Las Colinas has the most romantic European settings available in DFW.  That first image is my favorite.  Amber looks beautiful, the dress fits perfectly and the setting sets the mood. It is just beautiful.  I had fun today.  Thanks for being a trooper!

Be Good!

{Favorite Session so far}

All images from this session are now available on the private wedding gallery.  This has been my favorite to shoot and edit so far.  The light was INCREDIBLE.  The couple had fun.  We had some great locations.  The photography gods were just smiling on us.

{Dan and Ginger}

I had such a good time photographing this fun couple yesterday.  Dan had me bent over laughing. Towards the end I kept saying I wanted one last picture and the light was just so fabulous that I kept taking one more.  That image posted below is Dan telling me he was done! 

Ginger - I can't wait for your wedding. I know everyone will have fun!!

Be Good!

{A different day}

Back in December, I photographed this couple's wedding.  I attended the rehearsal and scoped the area out for potential photo ops.  I was so excited with everything around me.  The next Saturday a cold front with high winds passed through.  I was so disappointed.  I already had visions of what their album was going to look like.  While I photographed their wedding I turned to both and said, " You have to let me photograph a session with you two outside." And guess what, they let me.

Their images from today are GORGEOUS.  I have never posted a color and black and white version of the same photo - but today I just can't decide which I like better.

Be Good!!
