Kevin & Shannon - May 2, 2010

05.03.10

I normally don't get to edit a few wedding photos the next morning - but this batch was just too good to not do one.

I've been in Watercolor, Florida (can you say amazing?) for the weekend just hanging out with the Depp-Clement gang. They've made me so comfortable! Food, lodging, and just all of it.

Here is a series of Kevin and Shannon from our wedding portrait shoot yesterday. They are both avid bikers so it just made sense to do a couple bike shots! I'm glad we did! They are just too funny.

P.S. Doesn't Shannon look stunning or what???? (And yeah, Kevin too....) Wedding couples always have that "extra glow"........

Thanks Kevin and Shannon!!!!!

Michelle & Richie Hitched!

04.28.10

This wedding was held at the Hemingbough in St. Francisville which made it my second one to cover there. My first time there was for Jessica (Bishop) Stuart's wedding in 2007 (or was it 2008?)! It's definitely nice already being familiar with the location and knowing where good spots are to capture photos.

Michelle and Richie were a really fun laid back couple. They had everyone over all day and just pretty much chilled out with beer and chit chat. They did the centerpieces, they ordered pizza in, and they had a great time. Michelle, the bride, was just stunning and her heart is just so obviously sweet to the max. She and her mother kept asking Sarah and I if we were alright and if we needed anything. Any wedding photographer will tell you this - when a couple decides to book a "house" or a bunch of rooms all in the same place/area, that is a DREAM come true. Whether or not you have an assistant/2nd shooter - the SAME place is brilliant. Everyone is relaxed knowing everyone is "there" and within call if needed. They didn't see one another until Michelle walked down the steps at the Hemingbough stage. If you want advice from me - ASK! I see so many things through all these weddings and have learned so much. I will be honest! :-)

The reception was so fun! The food was delicious. Everyone was just obviously having an absolute great time!

Below are some of my favorites!

Aja & Kyle Hitched!!!

04.26.10

Aja and Kyle Fournet got hitched on March 13, 2010 at The Cabin in Gonzales, Louisiana. The Cabin was one of Sarah and I's dream reception locations when we planned our wedding but it was too small for the number of people we had attending. When Aja said that's where it'd all take place, you knew I was gleaming inside. I think The Cabin is such a gorgeous place, great food, and the overall atmosphere is one of the best in town.

Aja has been a friend since high school, and we partied tons throughout our college days so it was an honor to be the one to photograph her wedding day. Kyle is such a nice guy and I'm so happy for them to have found one another. You could tell throughout the entire day that they're just in so much love and really happy to make this the next step of their life together.

These photos on the blog are some of my favorites out of a ton! Check them out and the full album (link shown at end of blog). Thank you Aja & Kyle for having me shoot your special day!

Me Carry Heavy, Me Break Hand?

04.24.10

I can just see this big, brilliant new lens I just bought (and it arrived yesterday) breaking my hand before I even get to do some work with it! :-)

It's the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM Telephoto Zoom Lens.

Here are some random snapshots I did with it.

my amazing pop

our new light fixture in our kitchen (From Uncommon Objects in Austin)

Sarah's signing "Maison Looziana"

LOL at photo below....

It is SO heavy compared to my previous ones. While trying to smile - I just kept laughing at her because she was shaking it so bad while holding it with her teeny tiny hands.

Have a good Saturday!

I love every pictures you take, I love how you can take a ordinary picture and make it look fabulous. You are an inspiration and I always check out your photos. I am just starting my own little photography business in my area but I hope someday I'll be half as great as you! Thanks for inspiring me, you're the best! :)
