Bill + Kris: Wedding

This weekend I had the pleasure to photograph my dear friend Kris' wedding. It was a perfect setting, deep in the forests of Magnolia, TX, right at the end of the day. But photography aside, getting to witness a friend embark on a new adventure and share the moment with her is what counts. I'm glad to have been there for her, camera or not, to enjoy this celebration in her honor. Even if I nearly stepped on a copperhead leaving the party Sat. night. ;) God bless you guys.

Monte + Marlene: E-Session

Last Sept. I needed about 2,400 miles to grab Continental elite travel status for 2008. As I planned how I could knock that out in one trip, it ended up a HOU-to-LA would put me over. So, I tracked down my good friend, high-school tennis opponent and current tennis pro, Monte, to check his schedule. The timing was perfect, and as usual, great weather, good food, and old friends catching up made for a nice, long weekend.

Marlene, Monte's girlfriend, was a great host and broke me in immediately upon arrival, picking me up at the airport and showing me around town. Little did I realize she'd have me marching to the top of a mountain near Mullholland Drive, overlooking the LA basin, within an hour of touching down. I was so sore I could barely walk the rest of the trip. Lucky for me, she fed me well at some of LA's swank eateries.

While there, I managed to talk the two of them into letting me shoot some casual portraits, and now in retrospect, it ended up being a stealth engagement session for me. All I can say is, "Marlene, you're a natural...and Monte, well, you still clean up good these days, too." :)

Looking forward to celebrating with y'all at the Oahu wedding, Nov. 23!
