ENGAGED: PEDRO + MIRIAM

Saturday, October 23, 2010

Last week, I had the pleasure to go out and take engagement photos for such a wonderful couple. They're from The Woodlands, like me. We actually live pretty close to each other. When we discussed where to go for the e-session, it almost came as a "non-surprise" that The Waterway would be a perfect location. They love this place. The atmosphere, the food, the entertainment. And so do I! It's great to work with a couple who frequent the same place as you whenever you want to relax. It made the whole session that much more enjoyable! Miriam and Pedro are getting married at The Waterway Marriott Hotel and I am honored to be their chosen photographer.

Congratulations on your engagement guys! See you soon!

MARRIED: JATTAN + ROBERT

Monday, October 4, 2010

Only close family and friends were around in the quaint wedding in the Richmond area, but the celebration was big! I especially loved the part when everyone started dancing and everybody knew how to dance it! I had so much fun photographing Robert and Jattan's wedding!

MARRIED: DANIEL + KATIE

Friday, October 1, 2010

One of the greatest rewards of shooting weddings is the cascade of human emotion I get to see through my camera's viewfinder. I know it's rather cheesy, but it's true. It's quite a challenge to focus on your task as both a journalist and an artist when all you see are glossy eyes and tightened lips. Clearly, someone is about to cry. The next thing I know, I feel a lump in my throat.

Daniel and Katie's wedding was one such event. It was full of raw emotion. No one held back. It was a genuine "happiest moment of my life" moment for the bride. I could not be more pleased with the photos I came up with, as they truly tell a story. This is why I photograph weddings.
