Ben and Libby {Engaged}

July 15, 2010 – 5:25 pm

Hey Guys! Here are some photos from our most recent trip to Texas documenting Ben and Libby’s wedding festivities. Meet Ben and Libby. Libby is a amazingly talented graphic designer out in Texas. You can check out some of her stuff here at Libby’s Love Letters. We had a weekend filled with fun activities. Engagement shoot, rehearsal dinner and of course the wedding day! In 100 degree weather and 90% humidity.. it was action packed to say the least! We first started out on Libby’s grandfather’s ranch just outside of Dallas/Fort Worth area to take some quick portraits before the rehearsal dinner. This place was BEAUTIFUL!! and HUGE!!  Kristin and I couldn’t believe how awesome this place was. In fact the more and more we visit Texas the more we leave a piece of our hearts behind! We love it out there so much. I think mainly due to the hearts of everyone we have meet out there. Ben and Libby were beyond awesome to work for. Their hospitality was so sincere and generous, Kristin and I were really blessed by it. Ben and Libby are super fun and sweet, not to mention they photograph incredibly well, I cant wait to show you the other shoots!  Keep in mind this is only post 1 of 3 so there is much more on the way!!Enjoy!!

I love these shots because both Ben and Libby’s last names are Smith.. Lucky for Libby she wont have to fill out all the extra paperwork and hassle with changing her last name!

David and Esther {Engaged}

July 2, 2010 – 11:40 am

Sweet, romantic, and humble. These are the words I would use to describe David and Esther.  These two have such gentle and quiet spirits about them that you cant help but just adore being around them! During their dating years David and Esther would tell each other fairy tales and read each other stories to help the other person fall asleep at night. In fact David proposed by writing Esther a fairytale of his own..needless to say it worked!  So they wanted to incorporate this into their engagement photos as well as their wedding day.  I think these photos completely reflect their genuine personalities and the soft, romantic vibe they were going for. Although these two were incredibly nervous for the shoot, they were super modelesque all day and made for a great shoot!  In fact there were so many great shots that this is only the second half of the shoot!! Too many to post :)   Enjoy!!

I am so excited to post some pictures of this beautiful family! Seriously one of the cutest little families ever! Meet Dustin, Lauren and Addilyn. You will have to agree that this  is one of the most beautiful little babies in the whole world! They currently live on an avocado farm where we were able to take advantage of the cool surroundings. We also got to load up on some of these fresh avocados and made home made guacamole the next day!! So GOOD!! Thanks guys! Here are just a few shots of this portrait session.

Stephen and Robyn {Engaged}

May 10, 2010 – 1:06 pm

Last week I had the privilege of shooting these two lovely individuals. Stephen and Robyn are one of the few clients we have this year who booked with us without meeting in person first. This typically makes me a little anxious for the shoot only because I like to know more about who we are working for, their style, their personalities. I got a good read based off of emails and playing phone tag but its still never the same as with meeting face to face. However all these little feelings of anxiety quickly faded away as soon as they stepped out of the car.  Sweet, calm and eager to take photos they quickly made me really excited to start shooting! And once I started shooting…WOW! I just couldn’t stop! These two are just so photogenic! Robyn wanted a really light, earthy and romantic vibe to her photos and I think we delivered just that! Enjoy!

This was such a fun shoot. We can’t wait for their wedding in September where we will be working with their very talented coordinator Nancy from So Happi Together. Thanks for the awesome referral!

Brian and Stephanie {Engaged}

April 30, 2010 – 9:43 am

Today I have the privilege of introducing to you Brian and Stephanie! I had so much fun shooting these two. They are so full of life and also full of smiles. I dont think we went 10 feet without one of them laughing or smiling at the other! So much fun to be around and even more fun to shoot for. Stephanie had a whole bag of props she wanted to incorporate into the shoot and hand picked the best location ever!  Once I started going through the bag I knew we were in for a great session!

Such ridiculous light all day!

I love how soft the light is in these..

All hand made pin-wheels bu Stephanie! She made a billion for her wedding so I cant wait to see how they will all look together!

I loved these two so much.. They are totally the picture perfect “all-american” couple. I guess Brian being a marine helped support this feeling even more! Just wanted to give a little shout out to Brian and all our service men and women for serving our county and protecting all of us at home! We love you guys!
