Welcome to my blog - I'm glad you're here!  I am celebrating 15 years filming and photographing weddings in 2011!

Wedding Decoration Collages

Today’s post includes several collages of decorations from some recent weddings. I like to take a lot of images of these details because I know brides spend a lot of time choosing colors, styles, favors, etc. People are the most important subjects at weddings, of course, but why not get these too while I’m there?

Emily and Robert - St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Church in The Woodlands

Emily and Robert were married on Saturday, July 2nd at St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Church in The Woodlands. What a wonderful wedding it was! Here are just a handful of images so you can see how nice everything was. You’ll have to visit with me in person to see all of the hundreds of beautiful images from this wedding.

Can’t decide if I like the color version or the sepia version better, so here are both.

We took these beautiful images on the way from the church to the reception at The Woodlands Country Club.

We specialize in lots of candid, natural images. But of course we also take formal group shots after the ceremony.

A long, long time ago, the Tad Akers facility used to be a post office. They still have a display of antique postal boxes as decoration. I thought it would be fun to use one of the postal boxes with 612 on it (June 12) as a background for some of the ring shots. Of course, there was no box 612. But there was a box 412, and a box 106. So, a couple of extra pictures and a little Photoshop trickeration, and there you go! :-)

Sara and Neil - at The Parador

Sara and Neil were married on May 14th at the beautiful Parador. Following the reception, I went with them to the Zaza (where they were staying) for some more nice images.

It all began with a wonderful rehearsal dinner at Treebeards downtown.
