Love can been seen in so many ways. On a wedding day, I always see it displayed through emotion, passion, happiness, and joy. Weddings are filled with laughter and tears. There is so much emotion to be captured. It is all around you. I am always looking to show exactly what love can look like. This image from David and Casey’s wedding reminded me of the emotion I saw on their day and the picture of what I believe marriage represents. The contrasting colors between the bride and groom are so bold. The bride is lit by the sun that seems to illuminate the joy from within her. She is brilliantly beautiful and held by a man that committed to love her for the rest of his life. A man that looks so content right where he is. Holding his bride in the light and protecting her from the darkness behind him. There is a sense of strength from his side and freedom and safety on hers.  She looks perfect in his arms. It is where she belongs.

I believe we live for something greater. For Someone who holds us in the light and protects us from darkness. For Someone who came to give us life and life abundantly. Someone who created love.

DFW brides, consider getting married at the Hickory Street Annex. It will not disappoint.

Neal and Alix got married at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton in Keller, Tx. It was one of the nicest catholic churches I have ever seen. Neal and Alix were outstanding and their bridal party was so much fun to work with. Jesse and I were laughing and having a good time all day long. There were so many talented dancers on the dance floor that night. Alix was a dancing machine. I don’t think the floor was ever empty! These families knew how to throw an awesome celebration. Thanks to Jesse for your second shooting skills.

In January, Brian and Andrea flew me and my awesome friend Jesse out to St. Louis to photograph an incredible wedding. I met Brian and Andrea last year when I flew out to Missouri for their engagement session. I knew from the second that I met them that they were a couple that would be perfect to work with. I feel like we became friends instantly. Their wedding was a 12 hour celebration. They had to rent an art museum to fit 600 guests! If you met them, you would know exactly why so many people love them and wanted to be there for them. Every relationship we came across was so genuine. The way the parents loved on their son and daughter was amazing. Jesse and I agreed that it was our most memorable wedding. We have never been treated so well and felt so comfortable.

Brian and Andrea- I wish you guys the best life ever. Your friendship and kindness is unreal. I can’t wait to come back to MO someday. Continue to keep God at the center of your life. Walk in truth and continue to love like you have. God bless you guys and all the wonderful people we met there in Missouri.

Cary and I had the privilege of traveling to Maui for a beautiful wedding. It was AMAZING. It almost felt wrong that in the middle of January everything was so lush and green. There were flowers everywhere and the weather was perfect. The wedding took place at the Four Seasons hotel, which is one of the nicest hotels in Maui. Brent and Leah were an incredible couple to work with. They were so relaxed and enjoyed every bit of it. We took tons of pictures, so to tell their story, I flooded my blog with images…

My wife and I got back from Maui early this morning. We had such an incredible time together. Other than the wedding I shot, I left my camera in the room the rest of the trip, and it was such a good thing. Sometimes I get so caught up in creating a beautiful image that I forget to enjoy life and how beautiful it is outside of a 35mm camera. We talked, laughed, and played on the beach. It was one of the best times I have ever had. I am so blessed to be able to share my life with an incredible person. I am very excited for this year and I can’t wait to see what ministry opportunities we come across!

Clients…I am back in the saddle and I have lots to catch up on. I have been replying to emails left and right today. Please let me know if you have any questions or need anything. Thanks for being so patient and so awesome!!

I haven’t posted a wedding in awhile so I thought I would post several images from a recent one. Wes and Becky had an awesome mid-day wedding. The lighting and weather was perfect. You put that with an incredibly awesome couple and it makes for a great wedding day! Here is their story…
