Out of Town and Big News!


Howdy all! I am trying to get back with everyone that has either called or emailed this week. I have been out of town most of the week, and I am getting ready for a wedding this weekend. I will be in touch in the next few days. Hang out around your phone on Sunday! :D

The big news that my sister just gave birth to her 2nd son Garrett. He was born just over 8 pounds! However, my sister is not the only one celebrating. I was emailed this week by Cindy that her first son was born earlier in the month! You may remember Cindy and Paul from one of my weddings late last year! Congrats guys! You will make awesome parents!

They aren't the only ones either! LOL! Dena and Daniel told me they are pregnant! It is a girl!!! Lots of good news!

Enjoy!

A Look Back - Heather and Michael - Sheraton Read House



In the spirit of getting caught up I am going back and locating everyone I have not posted about. I am so excited to post about Michael and Heather! I had so much fun at their wedding at the Sheraton Read House back in February in Chattanooga! It is always refreshing to have clients that turn over every aspect of how I photograph their day to me. It ads a bit of extra presure, but I think the results are wonderful!

Also, I have my very good friend Matt Dunmore with me. It is amazing to see how much Matt has come in the few short years that I have had the pleasure of calling him a friend. I wish I could take credit for it somehow, but the fact is he was born with the gift!

Sound Force Entertainment was responsible for all the sound through out the day. As usual Phillip and his crew rocked the house! He also did an amazing job in the lighting set up. I would have to say if it was not for his fabulous work the photos would have just not been as interesting.

Dan the Cake Man created this amazing cake! I can not remember the last time I spent so much time looking at the cake. It was truly a work of art. I am guessing as fast as it went it tasted as good as it looked!

None of this would have been possible if it wasn't for the brilliant vision of Heather and her family. I would like to tank you guys for making it possible to do the wonderful job I was able to do. Without everything you all had done these photos would not exsist!

Here is the slideshow!

Check out the lighting! Sound Force totally rocked it!






Heather's father gave what I would have to say is one of the best toasts I have heard. I don't think there was a dry eye in the room. I know mine wasn't.


Here are a few of Matt's.

Kevin and Shila Congrats!


First I must make a little mention about blogging. Sometimes it is seen as a less important aspect of my business, so when something comes up it is easy for me to skip a blog post to do other work I might be faced with. That is the wrong approach. Opposite is true. Making timely blog posts is actually one of the more important things I can do.

That said I would like send out a congrats to Kevin ans Shila! They are expecting! I love it when clients include in the big news in their lives. I would say Kevin and Shila are more friends than clients these days. However, when Kevin told me the news I thought I would post up a couple of images from their wedding from last October. Only to discover I had not yet made a blog post!

Yikes! Their wedding really stands out to me. It was small wedding. Only their closest freinds and family was there. The family was most of the guests! Kids! Oh my there was lots of kids in the wedding. It was so special. Kevin and Shila took a little time from each other from until the wedding as well. The wedding took place on a beutiful Saturday in October under the fall leaves at Russell Cave National Monument.

Here is the slideshow! Congrats guys! I know you will be awesome parents!

Enjoy!

Melissa and Matt's Engagement Photography on The Strand Galveston, TX


I met with Melissa and Matt at LaKing's Confectionery on The Strand in Galveston recently. We originally were going to meet up in Houston, but the weather had different plans for us. I personally think it worked out in our favor.

The sunset was amazing, and The Strand is always an awesome place to shoot! While I was down there I ran into a very talented fellow photographer Tomas Ramos. He is a Nikon shooter, but I won't hold that against him.... LOL!

Here is the slideshow!

Enjoy!
