Brookhaven Wedding - Amanda and Lee!

I met a Amanda a while back when she was a bridesmaid in Brielle’s wedding at Denton Bible last year, and I was so happy when she contacted me to shoot her wedding this year. Amanda and Lee began as friends, but eventually that friendship turned into something more, and now it is so evident that they think the world of each other. Both are so pleasant to work with and be around and their friends and family are the same way. I’m continually amazed out how cool my couples always end up being.. For whatever reason I must just attract really kind, pleasant people! What a relief that is!!

Anyway here are some of my favorite pictures from the wedding day - Their ceremony was held at the Carrollton Church of the Nazarene and the reception was at Brookhaven Country Club.

Brit and Andy Dallas Engagement Photos!

Brit and Andy’s wedding was a while back but I realized I never got a chance to post their engagement photos we did in the Dallas Arts District. We had fun looking for good light on the sunny day! Here are some of my favorite images

Dallas Engagement pictures - John and Allison

Last week I got to spend time with my good friends John and Allison and take some engagement photos for them - I’ll be shooting their wedding at the Mckinney Cotton Mill in a few weeks too! We started out at Royal Lane Baptist church then headed to a local watering hole where they had their first date. Then to wrap things up we took some pictures by White Rock Lake. It’s always fun shooting engagements, but this was especially fun since I know them so well - It’s interesting to see how couples behave differently in “alone” time (well nearly alone… I was there taking pictures). Almost always at the beginning of engagement sessions they start out a little stiff but by the end of I get to see what they are like with their guard down. Those are the times I really like, because the pictures reflect more truly who they really are as a couple. I think in this case the beer helped them relax as well… maybe I should schedule a beer stop in all my shoots?

Home Grown Peaches!

Last year when Whitney and I finally decided on a home we wanted to buy, we were so thrilled to find out we had several tree’s that produced tasty treats! Last fall we enjoyed delicious pears! This fall I’m hoping for a great pecan crop… Our Figs are riping up quite nicely… but the thing I’ve been most excited about is peaches!

We got home from our recent trip to Colorado to find our tree loaded to the ground with sweet ripe peaches… So far whit has made a lot of preserves, and I think Ice cream is next!
