Holly and Chat were married at the Royal Oaks Country Club in Houston, TX on December 15, 2012. It was an unseasonably warm day even for December in Houston and a little cloudy. I was so honored to be a part of this great couple's wedding and the beautiful setting.

I would like to mention a couple other vendors at the wedding. First, my second shooter Alexey Sorokin. He filled in at the last minute due to sickness and did a tremendous job! He captured all I needed him to and then some. Please visit his website - Sorokin Photography. Additionally I had a great time meeting and working with the DJ's from Premium Sound in Clear Lake City. If you have DJ needs be sure to look them up. Wendy was very helpful to the couple but also to me in keeping the shooting schedule. Last but not least the hair and makeup was done by JN Co Makeup Artistry. 

Holly's wedding dress was exquisite and perfect for her. Here's a few shots.

The Royal Oaks Country Club was a tremendously beautiful venue for the wedding.

A few of my favorite shots of the ceremony.

A few details.

I'll end this blog with a few shots of the Bride and Groom.

Thank you Holly and Chat for allowing me to be a part of your wedding day. It was a great time and beautiful wedding. 

I had the pleasure of once again returning to Owasso, OK to photograph a wedding. This was the wedding of Rachel and Jason, a great couple who were willing and ready to try many different things photographically. First a shot of the couple.

Rachel had many great ideas for decorations and how she wanted the wedding day to look. Here are some of the details.

Rachel wanted this generational photo. I'm glad she did!

Rachel's mom helping with the dress.

Getting ready is always a fun time and we captured some of the moments.

Jason, ready to get the wedding going.

Getting into the dress.

The groomsmen were told to wear a "blue" colored tie. They had plenty of options.

Rachel and Jason decided to do a "reveal" before the wedding so we all loaded up and went to Stone Canyon Park just outside Owasso and they did the reveal there. It was a little chilly but lots of fun.

While at the park we also did some wedding party photos.

Some shots of the girls.

Some shots of the guys.

Here's a fun shot that Rachel wanted us to try and setup. I like the way it came out.

The whole wedding party "ignoring" Rachel and Jason...

...and a little more normal.

I'll end with a couple more of Rachel and Jason.

I had the distinct pleasure of shooting an engagement session for Holly and Chat in Columbus, TX. We started the session in Columbus which is situated along Interstate 10 about 75 miles from downtown Houston. There was a RR bridge that we did a few quick shots on.

In Columbus there is an old oak tree just outside downtown. We spent a few minutes there until my lovely wife and assistant was targeted and stung by some honey bees.

Then we were back downtown at an old theater. The retro look of the box office was kind of cool.

The next stop was out to the property that has been in Holly's family for quite a while. This place was a photographers dream with lots creative areas to use. We just touched the surface of the possibilities.

Lots of old buildings to use as props.

We had the Sun providing some beautiful back lighting.

As the Sun started setting we headed out to the pecan grove to end the day.

One more use of some of the implements around the property and we called it a day.

We had a great time in Columbus, TX with Holly and Chat and wish them the best in their future.
