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!

Sarah and Geral Wed in Playa Del Carmen

These are from the beach shoot following Sarah and Geral's ceremony at the Barcelo Maya resort in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico. They are my favorite shots from the wedding.

A (Mayan) Ruined Engagement!

While we were in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico, for Sarah and Geral's wedding, we went out the day before the wedding and shot an engagement shoot at the Mayan ruins in Tulum. We had so much fun shooting at the ruins and at the beach next to the ruins. And yes, we got completely soaked by the sneaky tide. It comes in with no warning!

Courtney and Paul: Engaged

We had fun shooting Courtney and Paul's engagement at the Shops at Legacy. Not to mention a little verbal publicity from spectators, commenting, "They must be celebrities...look at her porcelain skin!" We had a fun little coffee break while waiting for the sun to go down so we could get some cool night shots. The trees around the pond were lit up, so cool! Courtney and Paul are getting married this Saturday. Be-earlied congrats to you two!
