  • Hmm... This is all....

    Long Overdue...


    But it'll have to wait a bit longer ;)
    See, I have a surprise for those of you who only know me through my blogging...

    Something tells me it'll be worth the wait though :)
    Oh, and I'm going to make up for it in the mean time!

    I've missed writing so, so, so much.
    This past year has been such a whirlwind, there is MUCH I need to share,
    so many epiphanies, so much joy, so much challenge. You're all going to
    dig it, I'm pretty darn sure :)

    But let me just do what I do best... Share a little bit of true beauty with you :)



    Rodney & Melodie (Are Amazing)....




    I first met Rodney a few years back; he was working as a videographer on
    a project I was being interviewed for (with my marketing company). He was
    rad, awesome and fun... Even if he WAS a Nikon shooter ;)

    Oh, did I forget to mention?
    NORMALLY, Rodney's not a videographer... NORMALLY he's a photographer
    and lighting expert. Basically? He's the MAN :)

    See his work here:

    Rodney asked me to shoot he and his beautiful Bride's private wedding on their
    property in Wimberly, TX. I had a truly incredible time photographing and spending
    time with friends... Oh, and I kind of fell in love with the area too :)

    Let's get started though, I think you deserve to see some pictures :)


    Hard at Work...



    Did I mention Rodney was a photographer?
    Did I also mention that he lives in the middle of no where, Texas?
    OF COURSE he has his own giant photo printer, haha... He was working
    hard and fast, just hours before the ceremony to print off some of the engagement
    photos I'd taken of 'em :)

    The Bride However?


    Had The RIGHT Idea :)



    Sometimes, if you're crazy enough to hire me to shoot your wedding,
    I'll bring champagne so you never have to be nervous about anything ;)

    Pretty soon though, she was getting primped as could be :)




    The make up artist was extraordinary, and fun too! :)




    (Her name is Carol Wagener if you're looking for a MUA in the East TX area)



    I just love the dynamics of this one :)



    SO Cute!! :)



    And this? This just SMITES me with it's '70s style awesomeness :)





    The Groom was off getting ready on his own; but I popped over to
    quickly to snap a photo of the uber     sweet boutonnieres.





    Their ride arrived in style :)



    Joe Vitale (aka "Mr. Fire") is a dear friend who was oh so kind
    as to offer the car and his time to the happy couple :)



    I love this next one... Melodie's sweet son walked her down the aisle
    and their expressions are absolutely PERFECT to me :)





    Rodney cleans up pretty well too :)





    Married! :)





    Snagged a fun one of the little guy's devious personality ;)




    Now onto the portraits...
    Leave it to a fellow photographer to have a vintage sofa in a field of
    wildflowers, just STEPS from the cedar grove they held their wedding in...


    Getting Ready...






    Talk about PERFECT!! :)





    I simply adore this :)




    Soon though, our time was up... In 15 minutes I'd shot nearly 300 images though
    so I figured that was okay :)

    We hopped in the Rolls with Joe and hit the road to the reception site.



    They didn't stop being cute though ;)





    "Mr. Fire" was having fun too :)





    We made it!
    (But let me tell you, Off-Roading in a Rolls Royce Phantom IS possible, haha)





    As we arrived, an incredible thunderstorm was just beginning.
    Many of the next shots were back lit by lightning, WAY cool :)






    Beautiful details were abundant... The Guest Book for instance:





    Her Flowers:





    Even the chandeliers in the open pavilion.






    Just to remind you this is Texas :)



    (GREAT Fajitas were served)



    A First Dance:





    And a special moment between Mother and her son.





    See the clouds in the background?!
    LIGHTNING Packed




    After the (Awesome) party, they were about to depart
    when everyone realized they hadn't set up a place to pelt them with
    bird seed. I made the slight mistake of saying they should do it right
    then, right there... While standing a bit to close to them ;)




    We had FUN

    And then it was over... After 8 amazing days in Texas, I flew home
    to Florida and into an even better time!!

    But I'll tell you more about that later :)
