Trash the Dress - Liz and Mike

Talk about a fun session!!  I met them down in Galveston early on a Sunday morning before it got really hot down in Galveston.  As I got there early, I decided I'd stop by the Micky D's for a little caramel frap...big mistake...that was the worst and slowest macdonald's I've ever been to. It took them 20 mins to get my drink!! How long does it take to make a frap!!??  Ridiculous..
Luckily things markedly improved as Liz and Mike showed up and we headed to the seawall.  Liz changed into her dress in the back of Mike's truck. Can you believe she put on a wedding dress in the back seat of a car??!! How crazy is that?? 
We stayed around some piers and jetties.  I've always wanted to take pictures there and finally found a bride crazy enough to go there and be adventurous!! It was so much fun being out there on the sand, rocks and finally in the water!!  The water felt really warm!! We started will all the dry land shots on the lifeguard stand and jetty first and then we headed to the pier to get closer to the water.  After much ado, we finally had her stand in the water.  Light there was awesome at that time of day!! She was a trooper b/c some of the waves almost knocked her over and she only fell once or twice but she got back up!!  Mike was so funny and they kept the mood so light and funny.  As I was taking pictures of her in the water, I naturally was in the water with her and as I crouched down for a shot, a wave hits me in the butt and my shorts are completely soaked. I should have brought my board shorts for this event..That would have been smart!!  Anyhoo, we finished with some of them lying in the sand.
We finished the shoot there and then headed to a restaurant for some drinks and food since we were all starving after having so much fun in the water..
What a great day at the beach.
Here are some images from that session!!
There are more on my Facebook Album !!

Stephanie and Justin Wedding

These images are way overdue but with my recent hectic travel schedule I haven't had a chance to post these up.  Stephanie got ready at this awesome new hotel in the Market Street area in the Woodlands called Hotel Avia.  Talk about a sweet hotel, the decoration inside was so modern and chic, I could have been there all day taking pictures!! Unfortunately, I didn't get all day there.  I captured what I could with each of the girls and I got a couple of Stephanie before we were ushered by the limo driver to head to the Church.  The wedding itself was at the Fellowship of the Woodlands Chapel. it was a really hot day outside when we took pictures of all the girls.  They were all sweating profusely, as was I , so we had to do everything very quickly!  Gotta love Texas summer heat!!  I wish so badly to have Cali weather, no humidity!!!  Justin just received his commission so he was wearing his dress whites, which is always so sharp looking. He has been commissioned to Norfolk VA so they will be U-Hauling it to VA soon after the return from their honeymoon!!  Anyhoo, we got some really awesome images at their reception place, Augusta Pines Country Club.  The clouds were so awesome along with the really blue sky!! I love images with great skies!!  I hope you like them!! 

I will be postings some images from my recent wedding in Puebla Mexico very soon!!
