Mary Beth and Mark

Yesterday Jason and I drove to the end of the earth for Mary Beth and Marks engagements.... ok, maybe it wasnt the end of the earth, it was just Waxahachie but it turned out to be worth it. I didnt have the opportunity to meet Mary Beth and Mark before they booked us, so it was really a treat to meet the bubbly, happily in love couple! Here are a few of my favorites from their session




Whooot! I told you the hip pop/turn head thing was hot!






I think moves like this can almost get you arrested in small town america... the crazy shop lady next door was keeping an eye on us so we had to keep movin!


A more traditional shot for their newspaper


Lastly, I am so proud of Jason for getting this one while I was busy looking out for snakes in the grass... he really is better than I give him credit for :0)

Scheduling update

Hello there blog world!! We wanted to update everyone on the studio schedule!

1. As of right now, we have space for 4 more weddings this year. We made the decision to limit ourselves to 25 for the 2008 year, so if you're interested in booking with us please think about contacting us soon-ish.
2. We are completely booked for weekend sessions until the middle of May. Seriously every Friday, Saturday or Sunday between now and the second weekend of May have something scheduled. If you absolutely must have a weekend session before May I'll buy you coffee and we'll get up at the crack of dawn together. Otherwise, weekday late afternoon sessions are always a great option!!

And because I think every post need a picture, here's a super duper cute one taken for us by Cesar of Perez Photography. This is our little family- Me, Jason and our dog Kati.

Cecilia and Jason

Life is heating up over here as we get geared up for WEDDING SEASON!!! On Sunday we met up with Cecilia and Jason to take their engagement shots. We're pretty busy editing, so I cant post a whole bunch, but here are a few of my favorites!




There's kind of a fun story for this next one. We were roaming the Stockyards and came across this mural with the year 1992 on the bottom. Cecilia mentioned that it would have been neat if it said 1998 instead, since that was the year she and Jason met.... a little Dori photoshop lovin' later and it does :0)

Stephanie and Steven

Stephanie and Steven are so stinking cute! We had a bit of trouble scheduling their engagement session with all of the rain and the flu, but I was so happy it finally all came together! Steven lives right by a large pasture with a magnificent barn. So, we all threw on some boots, hopped a fence, dodged cow patties and played in the rain a bit for these shots. Here are a few of my favorites!


I think this is my favorite picture I've ever edited... I just LOVE the colors






Stephanie has one of the most infectious laughs! I dont know if it's her personality or too much caffeine, but it rocks :0)




When the rain drops got too big for the cameras, we headed inside for a little jam session. This was my favorite of the inside shots


Can't wait to see you guys again!

Sean and Melissa

Sean and Melissa are getting married this summer and needed a few shots for their save the dates. We shot Melissa's twin sisters wedding last summer and cant wait to work with their family again! Here are a few of my favorites from the session!

Dont they have the best smiles!



Can you believe this tree is over 100 years old! Thanks to mamma kees for helping out with the flash!!


Ok, the next two are from exactly the same spot, but edited very differently.... One's vintage and one's a crazy color saturation





When we were headed to the railroad tracks I spotted this bale of hay in a field. Thanks for being troopers and hopping up there for me guys!

Annes Bridals

Now that she's officially a married woman I can post a few of her bridals! We shot at the Ashton Depot and the Arboretum on a very cold, blustery day!!






Yum, i love some golden light and flash!!

Anne and David

Anne and David were married in Fort Worth and it was probably one of the most fun weddings we've shot so far- which is a huge feat, especially since I had a 100 degree fever from the flu!! :0) Both of their families were wonderful and the TCU horned frogs knew how to have a great time. Here are a few of my favorites!

The beautiful bride before walking down the aisle


I love this one of David checking out Annes ring right before their vows. They each chose each other rings and opted not to see them until the ceremony- I thought it was a really sweet testament to how well the knew each others style.

Anne has done some coordination in the past and had a very specific plan in mind- leaving the church to a sparkler exit. It took some work, but the results were really cool. AND a huge plus was that they still got to do a rose petal exit at the reception venue!


Speaking of reception, it was held at the awesome Ashton Depot. Seriously, this place is amazing- it's beautiful, the staff is on top of it and it's got a great location in Sundance Square.

The really yummy cake from the Cake Guys


After a welcome from Dad, it's time to party!


This was our first reception with a live band, Random Axis definitely kept people dancing





Towards the end of the night, Annes Chi Omega sisters sang a really sweet song. It was even more special because both her mom and little sister are Chi O's!



Thank you guys so so much for sharing your planning, your love and your big day with us! We hope you guys have a great move and a really fun time together!!
