April and Michael – Engaged
Just got in from a fun and relaxed engagement session with April and Michael who’s wedding is coming up quick in August! TGFR (Thank God For Rain) as it was supposed to be nearly 100 today, but the nice rain brought it down to heat exhaustion temps and not the heat stroke temps we were expecting… 🙂 We went to the Julie Rogers Theater where they “re-met” after a couple years apart and “the sparks flew” 🙂 and to their own private playground behind Michael’s property – places that really mean something to them as a couple. Here’s one from toward the end of the session as the sun is…

Gwen and Don’s Engagement
Gwen and Don were so awesome to work with – a great couple from Nederland, TX getting married this July! Gwen had a quick bright smile and Don was just laid back and fun to be around. We photographed their engagement all over Beaumont, looking for new places we hadn’t been before. See what I mean? Both had great smiles that just lit up the scene. 🙂 At one point Don brought out his guitar and serenaded Gwen in the park. He plays very well: Here Gwen is professing her true love to Don; I love how the sun is peaking through the trees: 🙂 “I can’t help, lovin’ that…

Jena and Brandan’s Engagement – Part Deux
We’re back with the more “bountiest” installment of Jena and Brandon’s engagement photo session from this past weekend. 🙂 Jena and Brandan were tremendous sports – they were out to have fun that day and we did our best to join in with them – from awesome ninja moves, to jumping on the Setzer Student Center couches (we counted up the 5 Lamar University degrees we had between us and decided to go for it 😉 ), to chasing frisky ducks, to making out in the stacks, we tried it all at least once 🙂 You never know where a good book of poetry will get you… This is a…

Jena and Brandon’s Engagement
What does Buna, Beaumont, and Boston have in common (I mean, besides some awesome peanut brittle)? Give up? Jena (the southern belle from Buna) and Brandon (the Harvard Law student from Beaumont) met at Lamar University in the wee prime of their youth, fell in love, paid waaayy too much tuition on their way to lots of degrees here in Beaumont, Dallas and Boston and will be married soon in what’s sure to be the love story of the century! See? It wasn’t a trick question… 🙂 OK, maybe I’m still a little punch drunk from chasing them all over Lamar’s campus this morning, but we had a blast. Here’s…

Devin and Michael’s Engagement
Devin and Michael were in from Dallas a couple weekends ago, so we thought it would be the perfect time to photograph their engagement session in preparation for their October wedding. Even more laid back than I am, we were able to get some truly fun and relaxed images shooting all over downtown, Lamar University and everywhere in between. The weather was threatening rain all afternoon, but instead it gave us some tremendous cloudy skies for our backgrounds: Listening to a band warmup at the Barking Dog, great color in here. Michael is showing off some of the moves he’s picking up in their dance classes – he’s assured of…

Morgin and Patrick’s Engagement
This past week the weather here in Southeast Texas was gorgeous, perfect for an engagement photo session in downtown Beaumont. 🙂 I met Patrick and Morgan at the Barking Dog Coffee Lounge where we warmed up the smiles and the camera with a few images around the spectacular interior – Jody and Tanya have done an amazing job of adding a little swank to the downtown area. Stop in when you get a chance. Patrick said he “was up for anything”, Morgin agreed and that’s all I needed to hear! First, we moved to the street – Morgin and Patrick were stopping traffic; me? I was trying to not become…

Morgin and Patrick, Part Deux
Here’s a sneak peek at the great time we had this afternoon around downtown Beaumont photographing Morgin and Patrick’s engagement session: After days of rain and cold, the weather was perfect. We’ll be photographing their upcoming wedding in August (we can’t wait!) – I’ll get some more images up soon 🙂
