Years in business: We’re in year one of what is going to be a business that lasts a lifetime!


Biggest self indulgence…. A great meal…There is nothing more spectacular than great food, great wine, and great friends.


Favorite cocktail… Bushmills straight up with a coke back


People would be surprised to know…that I am kind of an old man when it comes to sleep. I like to go to bed by 11:00 and will be up by 6:00 or 7:00 in the morning!


First thing you do when you get up: Wake up the Bambina!


3 things on your desk…My calendar, my iMac, and lots of gift cards for some reason.


I can’t live without… sappy movies, playing golf, sweet tea, and my friends.


My idea of a girls/guys night out…. Dinner at a great restaurant and a late night drive in the Cadillac out to the lake!


What you ate for breakfast… I hate to admit that I had a Chic-Fil-A chicken biscuit for breakfast!


Favorite place to eat... I love Café Josie.


Fun is…dictated by the people we surround ourselves with. Really, we are who we associate with!


What I haven’t done but plan to this year… Never been to the Grand Canyon. I’m thinking this is the year for a road trip with the kid over there.


Favorite flower…definitely the “Bird of Paradise”


Tips for brides to be…If you’re worried about your hair have a Jackie O scarf ready! ;)


Craziest wedding moment…The “Great Silly String Fiasco” of ‘09


Favorite wedding moment… The sheer joy in the faces of Evan and Jen as we drove down 1826 in the Cadillac. I’m really not sure if I have ever seen two happier people!


Why you do what you do…I love classic cars and I am truly a romantic at heart. I love the idea of amazing couples creating lasting memories in the rides!

The '61 Cadillac

The '63 T-bird

(I love driving this car!)

The '42 beautiful Buick

The Knot awesomeness!!!

I am happy to show off the new spread from the new Knot magazine that hit the stands a couple of weeks ago. Here is the wonderful wedding that made it in. Melissa and Jeff were so cute and those precious details, love it all! Be sure to pick up a knot magazine and just found out another one of my couples wedding will be featured in the Spring/Summer 2010 knot edition. I will keep it a secret and make everyone wait in suspense!!!!! Thanks Melissa and Jeff for being so great and sweet to work with! And congratulations to my next secret couple, you know who you are! :)

[Jessica + Caz]

Where to begin! Jessica and Caz were married a couple of weeks ago out at the Wildflower Center which is one of my favorite locations! Everything is in bloom right now and still cool enough for dancing under the stars on a Texas night. I met Caz and Jessica about a year ago and had the pleasure of getting to know them through engagement sessions and emails and was just really looking forward to their wedding day. Of course it was fun and perfect! They have a tight nit group of family and friends that kept Stacey and I laughing all night long with jokes or dance moves. Peonies adorned the tables, which is my favorite flower, mixed with a Cape Cod feel. Jessica's family lives up there, so you will see the tie below with little whales on it for that reason. Thank you guys for being so laid back and fun to work with. For trusting me to stand in tall prickly grass and I am sorry about that cricket that landed on you Caz, you handled it like a man though! So here are some of my favorites!!!

Vendors:

Venue: Wildflower Center
AMAZING FOOD: Kurant Events
Cake: Michelle’s Patisseries
Florist: Petal Pushers

[April and Joel's Wedding Extravaganza]

I really don't even know where to start with this wedding!!!!!! Gina was the coordinator for this wedding and made this couples dream come to life. Gina you amaze me every single time we work together! It was crazy, awesome insaneness!!! One of my best friends and fellow photographers Diana M Lott booked this wild wedding. Since I wasn't booked I begged and pleaded to come along and 2nd shoot. Seriously, when someone says they are throwing a Willy Wonka Wedding, every photographer wants to be a part of it! So Heather of Eclectic Images and I were the second shooters for this event and BOY was it an event! We started at Lakeway Spa and resort then an hour drive to April's family property on the lake for the ceremony. I could not shoot the ceremony b/c I had to drive back to Lakeway to get all the details that were being set up! Heather took one of the 4 party barges and Diana road a speed boat with the couple after the ceremony back to Lakeway. Yeah it was that awesome and crazy! So forgive me there are a bunch of details but I had an hour to shoot them so I went a little crazy and I am a detail queen! So here is the day and make sure to check out Diana and Heather's blog to see more of this awesome day!

Miss Evaleigh

The cutest 1 month old EVER!!! Ok, she is my niece, I am allowed to be the biased aunt. We took some quick shots of her here at just a little over a month old. I think she is getting used to the camera. She has got lots of years in front of it to come! We started with the blackmail photos, no those don't come until we get a bare skin rug! She's pretty darn cute, isn't she....
