And We're Off!

So, last weekend was the official start of my wedding season. I told all of my friends that if they wanted to hang out with me, to call me in November. The next several months are going to be non-stop, with almost every weekend between now and October having at least one wedding. This isn't even including engagement sessions, bridals, and oh yeah, school. I am so thrilled about this year thus far between the new equipment I have had a chance to get my hands on, to my new editing processes, to all of the awesome brides that I have had the chance to book. It's going to be a fun one and I am looking forward to it. Well, the kickoff this year started with a bang. Below are some of the shots that I picked out while backing them up this morning. The bride is actually having a wedding in Brazil and had one here in Dallas for the groom's side of the family. The rules during the ceremony were sort of dissapointing: I had to stand behind the last pew and was not allowed to use a flash. The flash was not that big of an issue for me since I have great lenses, but standing in the back killed me. I wanted to be able to get closer to get the expressions on the bride and groom, especially since I knew the bride was going to be emotional during the ceremony. Alas, I had no choice but to do as I was told. Here are just a few of em (and always, take a look at my portfolio for a more detailed explanation of each photo):

Has it really been 2 months?

So, it seems it has. It feels like just yesterday I was sitting at home and opening presents with my family. Now I am looking back at my calendar and coming to realize that it has all been non-stop for the past 2 months... The shooting, the editing, the client meeting, and oh yeah, the school. Lest we not forget the last one. On one hand, things have been beyond busy, but on the other hand I have had the opportunities to shoot some great things and have an awesome client list for weddings list year that I am so excited to work with!! I have been fortunate enough to bring on board a couple photographers to assist me with this workload, and am really looking forward to working with them as well. SO! All that out of the way, I am here to present Mallorie W. A new bride that I have that was amazingly fun to do bridals with. We shot them at the Las Colinas Canals, and it was worth every penny of the $50 permit fee. Take a look!
