I am soooooo excited that football is FINALLY back!! With high expectations for both the Cowboys and Sooners, this should be a FANTASTIC year for me!! In fact, several sources have my SOONERS winning it all this year! That is so exciting to hear, but I choose to take it one game at a time! The season starts on Saturday and YES, I will be dishing out the $30 for the pay per view as it will be cool to actually watch the game live for a change! Usually, I have weddings on most Saturdays and have to TIVO all the games as well as frantically avoid ALL media so that when I get home, I can watch the games without knowing any of the results! Also, I DO NOT EVER book any weddings on the OU/Texas weekend as that just wouldn’t be right, would it?
For all you fellow SOONER fans out there, here is one of my FAVORITE videos floating around as it really gets you into the football mood!! BOOMER SOONER!!
A few years ago, I shot the OU/Texas game and decided to make an album about the Rivalry! I entered it at WPPI and it WON 3rd Place Internationally! Shooting sports is VERY much like shooting weddings as you need to anticipate the moment before actually pressing the shutter and then you must be ready to get the shot when the moment arises. All the shots in the album were taken by me and I had a total blast! Too bad it doesn’t pay very well as being a sports shooter would be a fun gig! Here is the album that WON 3rd place…
Ok, I am SUPER excited about this post as not only did we have an incredible wedding on Saturday with Holly and Zach, but we also had the chance to debut our Same Day Edit Video for everyone at the reception!!(The reactions we got from everyone there were simply AMAZING!!) We will be offering this VERY unique service at select weddings in 2009! ONLY A FEW people in the whole country even have the capability to do this, so feel free to inquire about it if you want to really impress your guests at your reception!
Here is what we showed everyone in HIGH DEFINITION at the reception!

In addition to the gorgeous video, we also captured some beautiful photos! The ceremony was held at the Robert Carr Chapel in Fort Worth with the reception at the beautiful Colonial Country Club.(Julie and her staff did an EXCELLENT job of making sure everything went perfectly!)
The wonderful decor was done by Bloomtown and the band was Random Axis(One of my favorites to work with!)
Here are just a few highlights of the day that we captured…
Holly’s GORGEOUS dress and shoes!
A team effort here!

Last week, we shot Robert and Kassie’s wedding in Fort Worth and got a ton of great shots! It was great to work with Karmen of KP Wedding Designs again as she does a great job getting everything organized! The decor looked fabulous and everyone had a good time! Here are few shots that Andrew, Amy, and I captured during the day…

I shot Kristin and Dylan’s Wedding a couple of years ago and they recently added Brooklyn to the family and I had a fun time shooting the three of them a few weeks ago. Here are a few highlights from the session…
OK, I thought I would post this likeness of me that one of my clients just sent me! How funny!! Maybe I should get a hairstyle more like this!! I swear I have the best and most fun brides!! Anyway, thanks for the laugh and the diversion Jen!! I was working non-stop all weekend editing weddings and designing albums and this totally made me smile today!
She also did one for Alycia, so check it out HERE if you want!
It’s been WAY too long a wait for football season, but it is FINALLY here!! I am also VERY excited that HBO’s Hardknocks will feature our beloved Dallas Cowboys again this year!! I LOVE this show as it takes a behind the scenes look at training camp and puts us right there in the middle of the action!
They usually follow around a few guys from start to finish and it’s especially cool to see them follow around someone who is fighting for a roster spot as you go through the ups and downs with that player! If you get a chance, check it out as it premieres this Wednesday, August 6th!!
GO COWBOYS!!
Here is the Trailer…
Arias and Adeola found me from all the way in California and we never got to meet until a couple of days before the wedding! I am so honored that they flew me all the way to Tobago to capture their big day as they were both awesome to work and hang around with all week! Both families were great and just a total joy to be near! The wedding took place at the GORGEOUS Villas at Stonehaven in Tobago and I am already looking forward to going back there!!
Alycia helped me out and we really got some great shots! Here are a few highlights from Tobago that we captured!
Adeola’s BEAUTIFUL dress and bouquet!
