Emily and Cole: A Fun and Happy Couple

At night!




The groom's sister exhibited her mad makeup skills for Emily. Gorgeous!!




A moody shot I loved caught by Albie.




Piazza in the Village at night.

Yes, it's a fish. And a cake.
Hokey Pokey!



Leaving in their sporty yellow car gave a little fun touch to the photo. Don't ask me what kind! It was a yellow kind.
Emily and Cole's wedding was a lot of fun. The Piazza in the Village in Colleyville was a fabulous venue, the bride was chic and gorgeous, and the groom looked sharp. It was fun from beginning to end. And very difficult to pick out my favorite shots! So this post has quite a few more photos than usual. Enjoy!

A Classic Wedding

Courtney and Paul had a fabulous classic wedding. Their reception at City Place in downtown Dallas was gorgeous. So much fun. Congrats Courtney & Paul!

Courtney is a beautiful, glowing bride!

Congratulations to Courtney Williams Cervenka! Now that she is married to Paul, I can show off her beautiful bridal portrait photos. We went to the Arboretum during Dallas Blooms, and it was gorgeous. However, the fabulous light outshone the flowers, in my opinion. I love to work with dappled light that shines between tree branches, and a bit of luminous backlight never hurts either. Courtney was absolutely glowing in the light of this beautiful day. Congrats, Courtney! You're beautiful!!

100 Acres

We rode around the ranch in the carts that fee the cows. So of course the cows followed us everywhere!

Getting cozy in the cow squeezer.
We almost cancelled the shoot due to gross weather. The skies on the verge of rain were gorgeous!!! I'm so thankful that we didn't cancel!


This cool "sculpture" is actually a hay bailer! It reminded both Elizabeth and me of the cool yard sculptures in the movie "Twister." Even though Kenny was unsure of its artistic properties, he cooperated with my sculpture/bailer photo idea. He's a good sport.

This month we traveled to Centerville, Texas to shoot Elizabeth and Kenny's engagement at their ranch. When I showed up Elizabeth's fabulous makeup artist Randee was finishing up her makeup and Kenny gave me the tour. The big tour. 100 acres big. So many possibilities. So many gorgeous trees! It was such a blast shooting with Elizabeth and Kenny and all of their cows too!
