Amy and Ben's Wedding

In May of last year I got to photograph Amy and Ben's beautiful wedding at Tallwood Baptist Church, followed by a gorgeous reception at Lakeside Country Club.  Amy and Ben are both so kind and were such a pleasure to work with.  Here are some of my favorites from their special day.

Thanks, Amy and Ben, for asking me to be a part of y'all's big day!

 

Stephanie and James' Wedding

Stephanie and James were a joy to work with, and I was so excited when they asked me to be their photographer.  Stephanie's mother, Susie, is one of the best florists in Houston, and I often photograph her beautiful work.  I knew the club was going to look incredible for her daughter's special day, and it certainly did!  Stephanie and James' ceremony was held at. St. Luke's United Methodist Church, followed by a very fun reception at the Houston Country Club.  But the party didn't stop there.  Everyone headed over to the Hilton on Post Oak to celebrate until the wee morning hours.  As you can see by the photos, everyone was having the time of their lives!

Thanks, Stephanie and James, for a great time working together, and for asking me to capture y'all's day.
 

Alafair and Bruce's Wedding

 Alafair and Bruce were so much fun to work with!  They had a beautiful wedding at St. John's the Divine, followed by a reception at the Houston Country Club.  The guys began the morning shooting clays at George Bush Park, which was a fun break from the normal pre-ceremony photos.

Here are some of my favorites from a wonderful wedding day.  Thank you Alafair and Bruce for asking me to be your wedding photographer!

 

Conspirare- New York

Last February I had an amazing opportunity through fellow photographer Karen Sacher, to work with a chroal ensemble called Conspirare, lead by Craig Johnson.  The group had traveled to New York to preform around the city, and Karen and I followed them for a couple days, taking photos of their performances and rehearsals.  I also did some portraits of Craig.

Listening to their group was extraordinary and deeply inspirational!  Craig is a very kind person, and is so passionate about what he does.  I loved watching him work and orchestrate the group with such love and intensity.  It was a gift for me to witness an artist so connected to and passionate about his work and craft.  I look back at this trip last February with such fond memories.  Anytime your in New York creating work, it is wonderful, but to accompany Craig and his group, it was an experience I'll never forget.

Please visit their website, www.conspirare.org, to read about their group and mission, and to see a listing of their upcoming shows in Austin, Texas.

Incendiary-Washington Post Article

My brother has co-directed a documentary film, and it is getting a lot of press and attention right now.  Not only because it is a great film, but also because it deals with an arson case that put a man on death row.  He was executed, but it seems perhaps for a crime that he did not committ.  Rick Perry had an important role in the case, and because of his recent presidential run, this has helped boost national interest in the case and in the film.

The film, Incendiary has been showing in Austin, at the Violet Crown, and opens in Washington D.C. this weekend.  The film will open in NYC the weekend of October 7th, then will travel to Dallas, TX the weekend of October 14th.  After Dallas, the film opens in LA November 18th.   If you haven't seen it, check it out.  It is very interesting, and extremely well done.  Incendiary is already an award winning film!

My brother emailed me a couple of days ago with this link to the Washington Post website, where their movie (and my photo!) was featured in an article.  Nothing like riding the coat tails of your famous brother!  You can check out the article and photo here.  And don't forget to check out the film if you can.  Click here for Incendiary's website, where you can find information about the film and showings.
