ben and shelby

Last weekend, we shot Ben and Shelby’s wedding in Las Cruces, New Mexico. It was truly an honor to shoot for my old friend Ben and his lovely bride. I won’t get into all the details here and now, but Ben is a man I really admire. Over and over again, I’ve seen him display acts of integrity and courage that put most men to shame. Thank you guys for thinking of us. Can’t wait to see you again.

updates updated

Hey friends. After my last posting, I broke this thing. I tried to upgrade to a new version of Wordpress and everything fell apart. I couldn’t get in to write posts. Or do anything, really. But I finally sat down and tried to fix it. It seems to be working again. For now. I had been writing stuff down to post to this space while things were down, so I’m going to post-date those as appropriate. Things are going to get weird for a little while as posts start appearing in the past, but I want to go ahead and do something will all the writing I’d done in the meantime.

Seriously, this thing should come with training wheels. Or a helper monkey.

updates

They’re coming. I promise. New galleries. New posts. New stuff.

In the meantime, send me an email through the contact page and I can show you what we’ve been up to. It’s good stuff.

brad and lindsey

Last December, we shot Ryan and Dayna’s wedding in Georgetown, Texas (north of Austin on I-35). It was there that we met Lindsey, who was one of Dayna’s bridesmaids. We were so pleased when she contacted us about shooting her wedding that we took the job even though it meant flying to Dallas the morning after my little brother’s wedding in Austin. But it was so worth it. Brad and Lindsey were so great and we had a really good time. Thanks, guys!

david and danielle

David and Danielle got married in El Paso last weekend and had a beautiful (and hot!) wedding. We had such a great time getting to know them both better; thank you guys so much for everything! David is a member of the Coast Guard, and he wore his dress blues for the wedding. Check it out:

steve and nancy

We had the honor of shooting for Steve and Nancy on the 26th for their ceremony at Zilker Gardens in Austin. The humidity was pretty intense in the garden at the two in the afternoon, but that didn’t slow us down! The reception was held at Shanghai (voted the best dim sum in Austin!), which is owned by Nancy’s family. Check out the slideshow:

This promo for the Discover Channel makes me happy to be alive.

bridal session

This weekend, we drove out to White Sands with our friends Davy and Kimmie to play a little bit with the girls and to take some photos. Aimee and Kimmie took their wedding dresses to do some fun bridals. It was super windy, so we barely even took the girls out of the car, but Aims and Kim toughed it out for a while. I haven’t even looked through all the images yet, but I love this shot of Kimmie that we took just before we called it a day. The sun was just setting on the other side of the Organ Mountains and was really throwing around some nice, pinkish light. We’re hoping to go out again sometime next month to do this again. Hopefully with less wind.
