Aekta and Faizal's Indian Wedding at the Omni Mandalay!

Last week, my team and I shot the wonderful wedding of Aekta and Faizal at the Omni Mandalay hotel in Las Colinas.  That has always been one of my favorite places to photograph for years!  It also helps to have a great venue coordinator such as Jennifer Cline to work with!

The day was full of lots of color and pageantry as well as lots of great emotions!  We captured it all, but I wanted to post just a few highlights here...

Published in Destination Weddings and Honeymoons Magazine!

One of my absolute favorite magazines to pick up is Destination Weddings and Honeymoons as those of you that know me, know that I LOVE to travel!!  I just love reading  about all the cool places that couples are getting married in, having their honeymoons, or just vacationing!  In fact, I have shot in many of the places in the magazine and enjoy finding new places to go!

Well, I finally submitted a few images to the magazine and they published Alia and Slava's Wedding we shot in Anguilla in this month's issue!  It was such a fun wedding and Anguilla is simply one of my favorite place on earth!  If you haven't been, you should go asap!

So, I thought I would share!  Check out the magazine on newsstands near you as it really is a wealth of great information!

Natalie and Jason's Wedding in Justin, Texas!

We had a blast photographing Natalie and Jason's big day a couple of weeks ago!  The wedding and reception took place at the Country Abbey in the quaint little town of Justin, Tx.(Known primarily for their boots!)  The town has lots of cool little spots to photograph, so we made sure to make our way around after the ceremony.

The day was full of lots of great emotions and moments!  Natalie and Jason both looked great and all their guests had a wonderful time!  It was a true pleasure covering this wedding!

Here are a few highlights from the day!

Lauren and Jason's Wedding at Highland Park United Methodist!

Last week, we had the pleasure of shooting Lauren and Jason's wonderful wedding!  The beautiful ceremony took place at Highland Park United Methodist Church and the reception at the new Orion Ballroom in Dallas.

It was also great to work with some of my favorite vendors again!!  The awesome Shari John's took care of all the details while Stacey Murdoch of the Wildflower took care of the decor.  It was also great to work with my buddy Ryan Kelley and his crew from Beyond!  It was my first time to work at the Orion Ballroom and I must say that Julie and the staff were awesome!!(We hope to be back soon!)

Lauren and Jason both looked great and the day was simply perfect!  Here are a few highlights from the day....
