Ashley and AJ’s Photo Guestbook
Hurray! Ashley and AJ’s beautiful wedding was this past weekend so I can now finally show their wedding ceremony signature guestbook. 🙂 At 8.5″x11″ (opening to 22″) with a nice photo canvas cover and their images on art paper, it was the perfect way to show off their engagement photos and have a personalized custom guestbook for well-wishes. “Lucky” by Colbie Caillat Displayed in the foyer area leading into the Grand Ballroom at the Elegante, it was filled with signatures from loved ones by the end of the evening. Ashley opted for lines for signatures, others choose blank spaces, either works well for these and with care will last you…

Beaumont Engagement – Kimberly and Kyle
With the time change we have to adjust our photographic schedules or we get caught by sundown like we did in our recent Lake Charles engagement session with the future Mr. and Mrs. Kyle. 🙂 We got some really good images but the sun went down before we were quite done. So… when Kimberly and Kyle were in town a week or so ago we took a little time to take advantage of the great light and weather to finis: We found several new (to me) places with lots of good texture and light: We just loved how the sunset skimmed light across the tops of grass, great light 🙂…

Lake Charles Engagement – Kimberly and Kyle
This past weekend I had the pleasure of photographing Kimberly and Kyle’s engagment photos in and around downtown Lake Charles. They’re from the Southeast Texas area, but are attending McNeese State to be teachers, Kimberly in Early Childhood and Kyle in Music. The weather had been threatening rain all week, but fortunately was only overcast during the shoot, a big softbox for us photographers. 🙂 We began downtown by Pujo Street Cafe (mmmm, tasty 🙂 ), Immaculate Conception Church and the old Court House – beautiful architecture with lots of great color and texture to use for our purposes: Those of you who are Kimberly’s and Kyle’s friends on facebook…

Port Arthur Engagements – Shonte and Jim
Even in the middle of a rain storm, covered by swarms of mosquitoes (yes, 2 weeks in a row), Shonte and Jim smiled throughout their engagement session and were great subjects as we photographed them in and around Lamar State College Port Arthur. I had a fantastic time hanging with them for the afternoon, and I’m really looking forward to the wedding! Shonte and Jim are just incredibly cool, down to Earth people. With their wedding coming up in November, we are excited to share a few images from their session, and please leave a comment if you’d like! It’s been a while since I’ve walked on the campus in…

Beaumont Engagements – Kyra and Ian
Recently, we had the pleasure of meeting Ian, Kyra and her family – great people 🙂 Their wedding is coming up quickly in January here in Beaumont so we scheduled their engagement session 6 days after meeting 😀 The weather is turning perfect this time of year – the sun is setting a bit earlier, the temps are cooling and we’re getting gorgeous light during the evening golden hour. We wanted a mixture of “pretty” and “urban”, so we chose a few places in and around Beaumont that would give the feeling we were after: Being the center of Gulf Coast commerce for so long, Beaumont has plenty of railroad…

Southeast Texas Engagements – Ashley and AJ
This past week we filmed the engagement photos for Ashley and AJ, a handsome couple from Nederland – their wedding is coming up a little after Valentines day in February, so we’re going to have a whirlwind few months with them! 🙂 The session began with what seemed like perfect weather, until what locals are calling “The Swarm of ’09” set in on us in downtown Beaumont – I’ve never seen so many mosquitos in one place! We bravely gamed on, getting some great photos in the meantime 🙂 What Off! wasn’t able to keep away, photoshop was able to remove… 🙂 But really… once we moved further away from…

Ashley and AJ are Getting Married
Just got back in from photographing Ashley and AJ’s engagement portraits (they’re getting married this coming February) – we had a lot of fun despite what had to be a record number of mosquitos swarming us… Beautiful light with a cute couple, a photographer can’t ask for better 🙂 We shot some in Beaumont, and a few coming up were with their dog down in Port Neches Park 🙂 Here’s a sneak peek, more to come later in the week 🙂
