Stephanie and Justin Engagement!

This was the first shoot this friday of a long weekend of shooting for me!! Talk about being crazy busy!! Had a shoot on Friday, Wedding on Saturday and three shoots on Sunday, on Mother's day of all days!!  I even had to schedule time with my mom in so that I got to see her for a little bit.  Of course, I'm not complaining! 
On our shoot on Saturday, the morning looked a little overcast and I think Stephanie was a little worried since we had to reschedule from last friday when it rained all day! Once the shoot started, the sun came through and everything looked awesome. Justin showed me a new part of downtown that was really cool. Thanks man. I always love finding new areas to explore!!
Here is a slideshow of their pictures!!

Graduation Pictures!!

This time of the year, all the Seniors are trying to finish up their finals and dreaming how great it would be to finally graduate!! I remember how excited I was to finally graduate.  After 4 years of engineering school, I was ready to be out and making some money. It's such a great time in your life as you're on the cusp of the big next step in your life with so many possibilities ahead.  I love talking to seniors, whether it's a senior from HS or college.  They are always so excited about what lies ahead that you can't help but get excited with them!!
This week, I did some graduation pictures for one of Krystal's friends from U of H.  She's graduating in about a week or so.  I picked her up from her place and we actually just hung around the area near her place and found a plethora of really cool industrial areas in which to shoot.  We started out incorporating her dog in some pictures first. He was so cute and well behaved!! She even donned a graduation hat on him for a couple of pictures.
When Krystal told her that I just drive around until I find something cool to shoot, she didn't really think I really actually do that.  After we stopped off at a couple of really random spots, she was like, "you do really kind of just drive around and shoot wherever".  She saw some images from my camera and then was finally convinced that these crazy backgrounds do look really cool!! Well here are some images from her shoot.
There are some more pictures posted on my facebook page!! Go there and become a fan!!

This is her Graduation announcement that we did for her May 14th Gradaution!!

Debbie and Tim Wedding

Northgate Country Club - Tim and Debbie got married outside at the beautiful Northgate Country Club under the new Gazebo just built days before their ceremony!!  The weather was absolutely perfect, albeit a little windy but that's to be expected when  you're out on the golf carts driving really fast!!  We grabbed some carts and explored the grounds with the couple after they had their "First Look".  They decided to see each other before the wedding and take that opportunity to take a lot of their couples pictures all prior to the wedding ceremony!! I love it when couples want to see each other before b/c we then have so much time to take awesome pictures of them together without the pressure of waiting guests. 
It was reall cool to see Tim get married. I have known him for about 6 or 7 years now since we both worked at Baker Hughes together.  We've both have left that company now but we kept in touch and he gave me a call when he was getting married. It's fun to see your friends get married!!
Well here are some images from that fun evening.

Monica and Sebastian Beach Wedding

Last weekend, we got to go down to Galveston to witness Monica and Sebastian tie the knot.  The day was absolutely perfect for a wedding. The clear blue sky made for an amazing backdrop for pictures on the beach and around the sand dunes.  The ceremony was at a church and then the reception was at a beach house!! Everyone changed into something a little more casual for the reception so it was very laid back and relaxing!!  We got so much time to play with the whole wedding party at the beach, something that the wedding day itinerary doesn't always allow.  All in all the, the wedding was a blast to shoot.  Here are some fun images from that day!!
