Beaumont Baby Dedication | Waylan
It was a beautiful day for a wedding! Umm… a baby dedication! 🙂 This past year I made the decision to focus totally on wedding and wedding-related (engagements, bridals and trash-the-dress) events, really wanting to master what many consider a “niche” area in photography… that is until Scarlett brought little Waylan by and requested my documenting his dedication. How can you pass up his cute chubby cheeks? 🙂 It was a beautiful day for a baby dedication! Calder Baptist Church in Beaumont is a gorgeous church here in the Oaks Historic District. We began early with some family portraits, including a few of Scarlett with Waylan and beautiful natural light…

Beaumont Wedding | ♥ Christina and Eric ♥
It was a beautiful day for a wedding! 🙂 I met Christina and her bridesmaids at Total FX in Vidor as they were in the middle of manicures, pedicures, hair did’s, and hair done’s – wedding mornings are always buzzing with activity as the ladies prep for a big day. Christina is checking out some of the handiwork here: Meanwhile, Marius was with Eric and his men as they go through the usual guy routine in getting ready for weddings – video games, a little shaving, more video games, sometimes pizza and sometimes, when the going gets rough, they break out the video games 🙂 Eric is bracing for the…

Bedtime
Getting a few last-minute details ready for Christina and Eric’s wedding tomorrow/today. While formatting my cards I found some images of the family from this summer – at the beach, 4th of July fireworks with family, playing outside, potty training an 18 month old, it’s been an interesting summer around here. 🙂 Here are a couple of photos from the other night. Winding two toddlers down for bedtime can be challenging, Melanie is excellent with them, usually reading a bedtime Bible story helps a lot: I love the peacefulness shown in them – David paying attention intently, Elise in her own little world 🙂 A few of my favorites from…

Matt and Celina | Dance! Dance! Dance!
We last left Celina and Matt as they were leaving St. Elizabeth Catholic Church on their way to the wedding reception in the IBEW Hall in Beaumont. People have begun to filter in to the hall, gorgeously decorated by Kathy Pitre – it was floral, peacock feathers, lights, silver, crystal, a little over the top and all Celina: As Celina and Matt arrive at the reception hall, they move quickly into their first dance: … then she and her dad: Who apparently had been practicing! Their choreographed dance routine was pulled off expertly, both throwing down some moves I’m sure they hurt from for a day or so 🙂 Too.…

Beaumont Weddings | Lauree and Shane
Lauree and Shane were married in a beautiful ceremony recently at Christ Community Church, where a whole host of people came together to make it the perfect day for them. It was my first time to work with Deanna Baird and wow! she did an amazing job beautifying the church 🙂 Kay Miller expertly handled the ceremony music and, with the addition of the double bass, the reception too. Speaking of reception, it was held at the Botanical Gardens where Sweet Moments (with Kelly Johnston and Angie Herrin) did a wonderful job with the floral/decor and New York Pizza Pasta tastefully 😉 catered the evening 🙂 Lauree begins the process…

Beaumont Engagements | Sarah and Pete
I met Sarah and Pete way back in Jeanne and David’s wedding, she was the bridesmaid in the classic Chanel-like dress and netted veil, he was her boyfriend, standing cool off-to-the-side and watching the action. We actually talked for a moment or two, discussing getting together at some point for a session, I really liked their style. I don’t think either of us knew it would be for her upcoming wedding 🙂 Flash-forward nearly a year – Sarah gets engaged to Pete and contacts me regarding photographing all the festivities leading up to their Halloween wedding this coming Fall – yahoo! 🙂 We have a few unique sessions coming up,…

Beaumont Weddings | Kyra and Ian Get Married – Part Un
Kyra and Ian were married recently in a beautiful ceremony at St. Michael’s Orthodox Church followed by a great reception at the Beaumont Botanical Gardens. 🙂 Note: If you are viewing this on our Facebook page, the images are much nicer on the actual blog post. Our second-photographer this weekend is the excellent Marius. The day began early at Glamour Hair Salon, where Kyra and all her bridesmaids, sisters and mother were spending a few hours of girl time getting pretty for the day’s festivities. The “pink-polka dotted gang” were festooned in matching custom made house shoes, monogrammed robes, jammies and bags – you knew who was in the gang…
