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

in

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 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

in , ,

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.

Back in the office, and hitting the ground running!

in , ,

After an epic road trip to Savannah, Georgia, with stops in Biloxi/Gulfport, MS, and New Orleans, LA, I returned to the office middle of last week with thousands of images to sort through, and senior portrait shoots galore!  The trip was wonderful.  First stop was for a beautiful wedding in Gulfport.  After that I continued onto Savannah where I shot some bridal portraits under the iconic old oaks and moss of the South.  On the way back to Houston, I stopped in New Orleans to photograph an off-shore facility for Tana Exploration, an oil and gas company based in the Woodlands, TX.  After a hot day photographing the various activities at the facility, I flew out in a helicopter, and was able to take some ariels of their facilities that afternoon, before heading to their Lafayette offices the following day.  It was an exciting couple of weeks, and a neat opportunity to cover a wide variety subjects!

The above photo was taken at the Wormsloe Plantation in Savannah, GA.
