Galveston Island Witches' Ball 2014

This is always a fun event to shoot, and I've had the privilege of covering it for the last 3 years.  This time Christy got to shoot with me for a while, and as always, she got some great shots.  We also finally got to see Two Star Symphony!!  They made for a fantastic opener to the event.  The Witches' Ball is put on every year by Clyde and Kim Wood of The Witchery in Galveston.  If you don't know the store, go check it out.  It's one of a kind!  The proceeds from the event go to the Galveston Island Humane Society.  Great fun for a great cause.  This year's costumes did not disappoint.  Here are a few of my favorite images from the night.

Lauren and Matt (and Family) - Pre-Deployment Photo Session

Could these two lovebirds be any sweeter!?  Lauren contacted me for a session just before Matt's deployment and I'm glad we were able to make it happen on Labor Day.  It turned out to be such a nice day, and we were able to get a few shots with Matt's Mom and brother, Corey, too.  This was my first pre-deployment shoot, and I think we were all very pleased with the way it came out.  It's been said before, and is so true that one of the great perks of being a photographer is all the wonderful people you get to meet along the way.

Elizabeth and Spencer's Wedding Video * May 2014

     When I first met with Elizabeth to discuss her wedding photography, she mentioned an interest in having some video footage captured (mostly of the vows and ceremony).  I was excited to take on the challenge of both capturing the photographs (with my photo partner, Aaron), and shooting as much video as I could without taking away from the still images.  When everything was said and done, I realized I had enough footage to make a little 'montage' video out of it mixed with stills.  Elizabeth and Spencer picked out a song for me to edit to, and this was the result.  I think it came out really nice, and captures the essence of the day.  I would love to hear what you think about it, and am curious how many others would be interested in this photo/video hybrid kind of thing at their ceremony… or even during a portrait session.

Lilli's First Birthday Shoot - City Park in Alvin, Texas

Christy, Chris, Ava and Lilli met me at the city park here in Alvin on this fine morning last month.  Lilli had just turned one year old and her parents wanted to commemorate it with a photo shoot.  This great little walking bridge goes right over Mustang Bayou.  It sure was a hot Texas June morning, but I think we did alright, and they looked great!

Elizabeth and Spencer - A Wedding in Late Spring

A beautiful Spring day and the Tiki Island chapel made a nice setting for a lovely wedding for these two.  The amazing Aaron Soderberg assisted me on on this one, and did an excellent job (as always)!

Elizabeth's Bridal Portrait session in West Columbia, Texas. A beautiful setting for a beautiful bride!

I don't think we could have asked for better light and weather, and Elizabeth and Spencer's wedding day turned out to be just as nice! (Images from that day will follow soon.)  Elizabeth was a joy to work with, and I couldn't agree more with what I heard someone else say at the wedding - "Elizabeth is the absolute opposite of a 'Bridezilla'".  So true!
