I was a busy girl this weekend! I’m still waiting for Jennifer and Demas’ proof gallery to finish loading (it has taken my server 3 days to upload a little over 1300 high-res images) but in the meantime I thought I’d give them a look at their slideshow. Here it is!
press play and please be patient as the slideshow loads. . .
Last month, Hubby and I had the honor of shooting Erin and JT’s wedding in Austin, TX. Here are a hodge podge of sneak peek images I gathered while sorting through their files:
sidenote: I’m currently in a black/white phase after viewing this AMAZING wedding album from the 1940’s. All the images were in black and white and it looked so TIMELESS and classic - I’m thinking of redoing my own wedding album entirely in black and white images. 
The beautiful bride:
The dashing groom:
A little pre-ceremony fun with the father of the bride:
Walking down the aisle:
Regular blog readers will recognize this family:
from this image we showcase on our website - look how much their little one has grown!! (it was entirely a happy accident that I shot a similar image to the one below :-) )
Vows:
Congrats! Erin and JT - the proof gallery and slideshow should be up by the end of the month.
I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again - this family sure does know how to throw a party! Check out a few detail pictures from Anne-Marie’s 30th Birthday Party:
and I hate it. 
I’ve been sick with the most horrible cold the past few days and apologize that it has taken me longer than usual to answer e-mails. I’m working on it and should be caught up by this weekend. What’s even worse is Hubby and I had tickets to attend David Jay’s Freedom to Succeed tour and we had to skip out all because of me!! We were so looking forward to attending but Hubby didn’t think I should go for a few reasons: 1 - better for me (and baby!) to rest and 2 - why expose other Houston photographers to my germs? Hopefully, we’ll be able to catch a talk sometime in the future.
A few blog posts to look forward to:
Jennifer and Demas’ AWESOME wedding slideshow and
Chanica and Matthew’s super fierce engagement slideshow.
Anyone have any natural remedies for a stuffy nose, sore throat and headache?
I know you’re checking Chanica! 
Yesterday, Hubby and I met up with Chanica and Matthew in Downtown Houston to shoot their engagement session. Chanica and I have been consulting by e-mail for quite a few weeks now and it was great to finally meet her and Matthew - they’re an AWESOME, fun and laid back couple. We can’t wait to shoot their wedding next July.
Looking FIERCE. . . .
As most of our couples know, I usually make the Grooms WORK during the session. Mostly because the guys are usually tense and wanna show that they’re macho, strong men - when we ALL know that they’re big goofballs when it really comes down to it. :-P As you can see, Matthew was no exception. . .
This images reminds me of a movie poster for a romantic-comedy or something. . . .
and of course, the “Mom and Dad” picture. . .
Enjoy the images!!
Finally! Sarah and Robert’s sneak peek! Hubby and I shot Sarah and Robert’s wedding a few weeks ago in League City with the reception following in Alvin, TX. They had a BEAUTIFUL Catholic Ceremony and a ROCKIN’ reception at Joe’s Banquet Hall.
First, the beautiful bride. . . .
Robert didn’t look half bad himself. . .
Sarah’s brother walked her down the aisle - it was so sweet how emotional Sarah got. I don’t think she saw anyone else except Robert waiting for her at the end of the aisle.
First kiss as husband and wife! In most Catholic ceremonies the priest won’t say “You may now kiss the bride.” After the ceremony and formal pictures Sarah asked me, “Can we have our first kiss now?” 
Robert showing off his moves at the end of the first dance. . .
and finally BUBBLES!!!!!
Sarah and Robert - (and Suzanne!!) Hubby and I had an AWESOME time shooting your wedding. You and your family made us feel so welcome and invited that we actually felt like guests and not wedding vendors! We hope you had an AWESOME time at Disneyworld!
We’re taking a few days off for some serious R&R - no e-mails or phone calls will be answered until Thursday.
Thanks for understanding!!
Our DSL modem was fried to a crisp during the thunderstorms night before last. Therefore, my internet access is VERY limited. I answered a bunch of e-mails this morning (thank goodness for free wi-fi) but I’ll be somewhat out of touch until hubby fixes the problem. So, if you’re e-mail is easily answered I’ll be able to respond through my blackberry otherwise you’ll have to wait one business day. (I usually answer e-mails within 2 or 3 hours.)
In other news, it’s AMAZING what a few weeks does to a pregnant body. Just a few weeks ago, I was tired, moody, slept all the time and hated anything with cheese on it. Now I’m in my second trimester, I have loads of energy and I LOVE cheese and crackers.
Have a great day!
The day after shooting Jennifer and Demas’ wedding we drove to League City to shoot Sarah’s bridals. I’m not going to post any until after the wedding but wanted to show off just one.
Isn’t she beautiful? Robert is a lucky guy!
