Yellowstone Academy-Brown Event

Over the coming weeks, this blog is going to blow up with TONS of overdue posts.  We're going to get caught up finally, and I've got a plan to keep us on track and current throughout 2012.  But for the next couple of weeks, we'll be looking back in time...

Like WAY back for this one!  But I just love so many of the details from the shoot, and I certainly love every chance I get to feature Yellowstone Academy and everything they do.  This event was hosted and made possible by Jill Brown of Brown.  She has a fabulous store near River Oaks, and hosted a silent auction event for Yellowstone Academy in...I'm embarrassed to say this because I'm just now posting these photos...November of 2010...

Nevertheless, it was a wonderful event to support the children of Yellowstone!

Here are some of my favorite shots of the night.  Thank you to Brown for hosting such a beautiful and wonderful party, and for supporting the children of Yellowstone Academy.

Kate and J.J.'s Bayou Club Wedding

At the end of March I photographed a gorgeous wedding at the Bayou Club.  You might remember Kate and J.J. from their engagement shoot at Kate's family ranch, or from one of my more recent posts about the Bahamas!  I've had such a wonderful time getting to know them, and it has been a true honor to document this very special time in their lives.

We had perfect weather for their beautiful outdoor ceremony.  Kate and J.J. chose to marry under a large oak tree, and the reception was tented by SPF.  Kristin McShane with Keely Thone Events did an incredible job making sure everything went off without a hitch (as she and all of their team always do).  Events and Bloom's flowers and decor and Pro/Sound's lighting created the perfect atmosphere, while 31 Films was there to film the weekend.  Sauce brought the house down, with a special guest appearance by groom J.J. and his brother Greg.  The delicious cakes were created by the incredibly talented Susie's Cakes...can you believe that Yankee's Stadium??  Stationary and invitations were by Sicily Eason, and bridesmaid dresses were by Bella Bridesmaids.  Ceremony music was provided by Divisi Strings.

It was an unforgettable weekend to witness and capture.  I hope y'all will enjoy all of the photos below.  I've also included a little time lapse movie from their ceremony that I already posted a month or two ago...check it out if you haven't already.

Thank you, Kate and J.J.!

Beth and Judd's Wedding

Beth and Judd were married at St. Martin's Episcopal Church on January 22, 2011.  The ceremony was followed by a fun reception at the Rice Hotel in the Crystal Ballroom.  Thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of your beautiful day!
