Sarah Q from Roxy & Kai Photography

I just couldn't wait any longer to put these pictures up. I was striving to put my pictures back in order, but I'm in love with Sarah for doing such a great job with my nephew and his pics.

Sarah and Henry got married on Halloween of this year and it was fantastic. I was lucky enough to be able to help her out on her wedding day AND be a guest. Unfortunately, I don't know how to be a guest at a wedding anymore, so either way I'll start working the event. Its an annoying habit, I know. It was a Rock and Roll theme and everyone dressed up as their favorite rocker. And her dress -- OH MY GOSH, HER DRESS!! I just loved it! She showed me pictures of it when she ordered it and I've been excited to see it ever since.





The fabulous Bobbi+Mike team were the photographers for the wedding. Unfortunately, they don't live in Texas, but I'm working on a plan to get them here. Who wants to live in the snow anyway? ;)

Enough of my blabbering... here's the the awesome pictures!

Too adorable - Henry and Kai

Sarah hired a Beatles cover band and Elvis!!

Ahh, what pretty paper lanterns. This was my near death experience hanging up those bad boys. So to return the favor, I let Henry take them down at the end of the evening . ;)

aww...

and my personal favorite detail of the wedding... who would say no to this?
Sarah and Henry, thank you so much for letting me be a part of the best Halloween - ever.

Baby Ben!

So I know this is not wedding related, but its my blog so I'll do what I want to!

Here's my ever so adorable nephew - Benjamin. This is his three month old photo shoot taken by local rock star - Sarah Q of Roxy and Kai Photography. I had her come out to take some pictures at my sister's house in Leander. Gosh, now I miss him.


I love him!!

















and with proud papa...

Laguna Gloria Wedding - May 12, 2007

In continuing with the "out of order" theme - I present you:

The Wedding of Amy & Graham

I thoroughly enjoyed working with Amy, Graham and Graham's mom, Janice. They are so much fun. Couples like Amy & Graham are what makes my job the best in the world. I seriously wanted to marry both of them by the end. Enjoy these pictures courtesy of John Tilley Photography. He's famous in Dallas and has shot many celebrity weddings such as Emmitt Smith and Troy Aikmen's. (GO Cowboys!!)

The Rehearsal - The Thistle Cafe

I love the gang at the The Thistle Cafe!

You get the entire restaurant to yourself because its closed to the public in the evenings. They're on 6th Street across the street from The Belmont. Janice (Graham's mom) wanted the rehearsal dinner to look very tropical because the couple's honeymoon was in Barbados. So here's what we did:

Out of Order Blog: Heather & Steven - 9.15.07

Heather & Steven - Southwest School of Art and Craft

I had a blast planning Heather & Steven's wedding. We had a lot of fun shopping around for inspiration and added details. They both live in DC and did a lot of planning through phone calls and TONS of emails. Gotta love technology!...most of the time. She found some really cool Alamo ornaments at the flea market for favors. They were a huge hit.

I can't thank the super awesome Anne Marie Photography Chicks enough (especially for letting me steal images off their blog) Don't forget to congratulate Traci on her new baby girl, Caroline.

On with the festivities!

Blog Neglect

So I know I've neglected my blog - a lot. Its been a crazy summer/fall. No excuse, but it really has been. From the crazy wedding season to teaching not one, but TWO classes this fall, I've hardly any time to breathe.

Today is dark, rainy and cold. It finally feels like autumn. Its a good day to curl up with a nice book and hot coco and relax, but in my case its curling up with my Mac and working on my 3rd cup of coffee and doing the blog thang.

Till the next time, and I'm striving for less than six months later....

The Blooms - 4.7.07

Lakeway Resort & Spa - Austin, Texas



The Bloom's are an amazing fun couple. We had a lot of laughs planning the wedding. Krystina is a graphic designer and has a couture invitations company called KK Bloom and Jack owns Nasty's Bar in Austin. Their wedding couldn't have been more beautiful! It actually snowed as Krystina walked down the aisle. Lakeway Resort has a new ballroom that is mostly all glass and it overlooks the lake. It was an amazing ceremony. Many thanks to Shawn Kennedy for the images!






























Krystina made life-size cutouts of her and Jack directing the guests to various things to do throughout the evening. From writing your name on a rock to pointing out the photo booth. These cutouts were a HUGE hit!
