Cherice + Todd: NOLA wedding 9/2012

I am so lucky I get to document Cherice and Todd's New Orleans wedding this fall. I know, it's not until September, but I'm already counting down! We had a great time with them during their engagement session so I can only imagine the fun we'll have capturing all the festivities of the wedding. This one feels like family. And I can't wait.

One of my favorite weddings that I captured a few years ago just happens to be Cherice's sister's wedding...



and then I got to shoot her precious nephew (who is now a big brother) a little later...



so imagine how happy I was they asked me if I would travel to New Orleans! It really is a beautiful city and the perfect setting for a wedding. Can't wait!

Here are just a few images we captured during the engagement session.

Happy Friday!

Engaged: Tamela + Calvin

Downtown Port Arthur gave us a few great backdrops to capture this engagement session, and we couldn't have asked for a prettier day! Tamela and Calvin will be married this December, but their story began waaaaay back when! He says she used to chase him around the neighborhood on her little pink bike. She says it started during high school, although it did not become official for them until after they came back home from college. She said once they connected again, she knew this was it. And even though he laughed and shook his head, the smile on his face told me he knew it too. I'll bet he even knew waaaaay back when... In that neighborhood. Where the little pink bike was following him around! :-)

Can't wait til the wedding!

Lindsey & Justin: 11.11.11

I love that date! Although I'm not shooting their wedding I was happy to do some Engagement portraits for them. I'd love to share more, but since we're using them for the invitations and a guest book, I can't. At least not until 11.12.11!

Coming soon... Tanesha and Brandon.

I was thrilled when I got the call! I knew she had gotten engaged, but I didn't want to just throw myself at them! I don't like pushy people so I try not to be pushy people. But I knew I wanted to be a part of this wedding. Tanesha's mom has loved my niece like one of her own for such a long time, and that is enough for me! Cessy's best friend/sister is Tanesha's older sister, who also happens to be my neighbor AND co-worker at LU, so this just seemed like a no brainer. I waited and waited, then waited some more. I consulted with my CEO and Partner, Father God, who told me to be patient :-). So I tried to be patient. And just when I was going to give in and be a pushy people, they called me! I can't wait for this wedding!

Here are just a few images from Tanesha and Brandon's engagement session. I wish I could show the invitations I put together for them, I loved them so much I wanted to keep them all. I'll try and get some pictures of one and share after the wedding. Until then, I hope you enjoy the images below...

Danny and Michele...

are getting married! It is going to be a repeat of Arial & Tony's wedding a couple of weeks ago, with so many of my own family and friends there it will hardly seem like work. I used to teach quinceanera waltz's and Danny was one of the best :-D I told Michele that despite any protests, this guy can waltz!! I hope she takes advantage of those skills, I may have to whip out some old music to get him started.

Wish them the best, and praying for a stress free day for Michele (and Katie in CC, too!)

Ramon & Katie: San Antonio Engagement

Ramon and Katie are getting married. This weekend in the beautiful city of Corpus Christi. I was already booked when she called me, but since she is my cousin I had to do something! So I shot an engagement session and put together a guest book for them. I also did some bridals while we were in San Antonio, I'll get to share those after the wedding!

So, I finally got around to asking Katie how they met. She was semi-dating his friend. Ramon kept flirting with her and she hated it. She used the term 'stalker.' When the friend didn't work out Ramon seized the chance and asked her out, and they haven't looked back since. Five years and still going strong. Of course, she did admit that if I told Ramon's version he'd say she was the stalker!! :-)

I wish them the best, can't wait to see the wedding photos!

Britni + Daniel

Britni and Daniel will be married soon! We took some amazing bridals last week but you'll have to wait til after the wedding to see them :( Here is a pic from their engagement session, can't wait for the wedding! Britni's mom and I were best buds in grade school, can't wait to see her family - so glad I get to shoot this for them!

Coming soon... Arial & Tony's wedding!!

Can't wait til then, but for now here are few of my favorites from their engagement session...
