I Love Rock N Roll

Ah, live music. I never realized what a difference it made until I shot two weddings this month that had live music. The crowd was livelier. Whether it's a swing band or garage band, definitely consider adding live music to your wedding. Pictured here is Mars Hill, a local Dallas band that played at Jenny and Andrew Hunt's wedding. They were awesome, or dare I say...rockin'?

Old Hollywood Style

I just shot Kara and Jeremiah's Old Hollywood style wedding. It was so fabulous. The bride, Kara Torvik Smith, is a stage actress, and her costume designer designed her dress in the fashion of the 1910's. Pearls were everywhere. They had a swing band that was so much fun. The ceremony and reception were held at T&P Station in downtown Ft. Worth. It was so beautiful and fun to photograph. A word of advice to all brides planning their wedding: Don't do what you think you're supposed to do; do what you want to do. Something that is YOUR style. It will be a blast!

Snowboarding Bride in Ruidoso, NM

We just got back from a trip to Ruidoso, NM to visit family. While we were there, we did a bridal shoot with Chelsea Bishop Kimbrell on the slopes of Ski Apache. She is a snowboarder, and so is her new husband Errick. We had such a blast on the slopes. It was a little scary up there with all my camera equipment, along with whatever skiing prowess I still had from skiing years ago. No cameras took a dive, thank goodness! Here are some of my favorite shots of the day.
