The Knot, New Year Resolutions, and Bangin' New Galleries!

Today, I was working on my website, as I have been doing a little bit every day. Just as I launch one of 12 new galleries on my website I get a wonderful email from Heather to tell me some more wonderful news. That her and her way cool husband Michael is feathered on The Knot's Website.

I knew it was coming, but I had no idea it would launch today at the same time as my gallery of their wedding. To see the feature on The Knot's website click here. They did not pick my favorites, but as with most publications they have their own reasons to pick certain images. Being that I come from a publication background I totally understand, and happy to see the photos. You can see their original blog post by clicking here.

I next order of business is New Year resolutions, this year I have vowed to blog everyday. However, you may not have noticed things happening over here, but you should see some huge changes on my website. I have been updating it everyday. I have used the time I would use to blog to update my website. So, stay tuned for more awesome weddings here.

Enjoy!

Help Me Choose

Well if you have been following my blog you know it has been full of tough news. Well, I want to change that. My blog has been more about public service messages than the super, awesome, and totally cool clients.

I will say this only represents just a few of the wonderful clients I have photographed recently. What I want you to do is pick who's blog post you will see next. The couple with the most votes gets the very next posting.

There are several other folks clients not included on this list, and that is only because I am on the road and do not have access to the images currently. I will do this again. I have TON to blog! I am very excited about getting the photos out there for every one too see.

Vote, get your friends to vote, and in a few days I will post.

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!

Awesome Wedding and Memorial Day

It has been a busy crazy weekend. I had the wonderful opportunity to photograph an amazing couple Andrea and Eric. A lot of firsts with this wedding. Including this awesome exit by the two new honeymooners!

On a more serious note it is Memorial Day. Remember those that have sacrificed everything so we may enjoy $4 a gallon gas. I know we complain about the cost of gas. Heck, I do too. I complained to the person at the drive thru tonight for taking to long.... LOL! Well guess what! It is because of all those brave souls that put themselves in harms way so we have the right to complain.

Maybe people in other countries hate us for out constant whining over what they would say is meaningless in the grand design. I say let them hate us then, because our brothers, mothers, sisters, sons, daughters, and grand children made the same sacrifice to provide us with the privilege to do just that.

Today, I say complain away! Because, our brothers have spilled their blood to give us this wonderful gift. If we do not exercise that right, and the many other rights these brave souls fought for, then we as Americans do not honor their memories.

Normally, I try to keep things light here, but I feel strongly about this. Pray for them.

Enjoy!

Another Blast From the Past - Cherie and Christian

It is always an honor to be asked to photograph such a big day for folks, but when your asked by a fellow photographer it is just a bit more extra special. Cherie and Christian had their vows renewed in a beautiful place surround by friends and family a while back. I am so excited that I have been able to be part of it, and now I get to share with all of you. You can check out Cherie's photography here.

Enjoy!
