Let me count the ways I love this couple:

1. They are both super cute
2. Justin wore Chucks then Cowboy Boots to the engagement session
3. They got engaged at the museum while on a picnic
4. Teresa is tiny in the just right, fit into Justin’s arms kinda way
5. They will play in water
6. They are So You Think You Can Dance Fans (4-real)
7. They make funny faces
8. Teresa lights up any time she looks at her man
9. I love the way they love on one another

Shooting engagement sessions is always one of my favorite parts of the wedding process because I get to hang out and know my couple. These two really are super fun and I just loved so many of their images. I was trying to wait and post some favorite with a slide show but I just couldn’t. Here are some of my many favorite images.

Fabulous Fun Ring Shot!

Look at them, I am so lucky! I get to work with people in love.

Congratulations you two! My first engagement session for 2009!
More to come!

While I was away on my honeymoon I got to play with my camera and do this fun dress trashing on St John. Vanessa was my second photographer for our wedding and Cristina’s sister. It was fun to be on the side of the camera I am most comfortable if even for a little while. These are some of my favorite shots. Enjoy!

Kristin and Ryan were married on 6.21.2008. This couple is amazing because they have been together since high school! I know they look like they just graduated but they are a tad older than that and have been together for a very long time. I love that they have grown together as a couple .

Dawson and I shot this wedding together and we had a great time. Here are a few of our favorite images.

Before I flew off for my own wedding I spent an evening with Danielle & Chris. We met up at their reception location for some “golf” at the Colonial in Fort Worth. This little gem is tucked away near the Zoo just blocks from my studio. I didn’t even know this place existed but man is it a gorgeous place for a wedding!

These two are so sweet and adventurous. We went everywhere and we did outfit changes every time! It was a blast and I just love the little looks Danielle gave Chris as he kissed on her. Sarah posted a few of her faves before but I couldn’t help but pick a few of my own.

A couple weeks ago I had the pleasure of hanging out with Ms. Kaydra Fleming. She is trying to adopt a beautiful little baby and she needed pictures for her adoption profile. It was so nice spending the morning with her and hearing her story. She had come over during Hurricane Katrina and has been living in Texas ever since. She was such a sweetheart, and I can’t wait to meet her new baby! I wish her the best of luck throughout that crazy adoption process!

On July, 2 Meredith & Justin had a small, impromptu wedding before Justin headed off to Iraq. The ceremony and reception were held at Lantana Lodge in Pilot Point, Texas. It was such a joy to do this wedding. It was one of those weddings that was really just about the love shared between two people and their families. I felt so honored to be apart of such an special moment in their lives! I wish them the best of luck for the future and hope to see them again when Justin gets back!

A quick moment shared by Meredith and her Father before she walked down the aisle. Priceless.

I am so excited to be home and even more to be married! JW and I had a wonderful trip to the US Virgin Islands and a even better wedding! My fabulous photographers, Cristina & Vanessa, are going to be sending some pictures my way to share later this week but I thought I would go ahead and share at least a few snapshots.

We stayed at a private villa on St John and the privacy was so perfect. We spent most nights in and cooked on the grill and sat on the balcony taking in the amazing views. The best way to see the island is by 4 wheel drive…trust me you need the 4wd! We spent every day exploring a new beach and just reading and relaxing. We did take a day trip to Virgin Gorda, a British Virgin Island, to see the world famous Baths.

All these photos were taken with my new point and shoot camera, the Olympus Stylus 1030SW. There in lies my tip for the week because this camera went everywhere and stood up to it all. It is completely waterproof up to 30 ft (just don’t open the battery door) and does great in the water, being dropped down a hill side and has great pre-set options for landscapes and sunsets. Every passer by that we handed it to to snap a quick picture did great and it even has a easy to use timer feature so you can set it on a rock or table and pose away. Best of all it has 10.1 megapixels so image quality won’t be a problem.

Us at Annaberg Ruins where we got married….don’t worry this was a different day. We didn’t sport this fabulous outfits for our wedding vows!

See under water! Look at the turtle I saw!

Professional pictures coming soon and a few from myself! I shot a fun trash the dress session on the beach in St John and I can’t wait to share it!
