Alisha + Ben | Married!

Just finished editing this beautiful wedding from May. Alisha and Ben are an incredible couple! I actually had a Bible class back in the day with Alisha and then we had their wedding referred to us through a mutual friend. The wedding was held at First United Methodist Keller and for the reception we drove a short ways over to Watermere in Southlake. The whole wedding was an absolute blast and I can’t say enough good things about Alisha and Ben! They are both very involved with a ministry that I adore; Sower of Seeds. And they have an incredible heart to serve God and be involved in changing the world. Here is a collection of some of my favorites from the wedding. Congratulations Alisha and Ben!

They had a deck of cards at every table so most tables were playing Texas Hold ‘Em

Okay, not cool! All of that birdseed was all over me and my camera about a millisecond later! I’m pretty sure someone through their
hand full straight at me!

Congratulations again Alisha and Ben. You two were a blast and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for you two!

Alisha + Ben Sneak Peek | Fort Worth Wedding Photography

Leaving for Cancun Tomorrow

Today is going to be a busy day! So much do in preparation for Cancun! Charging batteries, packing equipment, packing in general, cleaning the house, answering emails, editing pictures, the list goes on and on. My wife Kristin is going to try and come along but she is flying standby and the flights are looking pretty over sold. So if you could all pray that she makes it on the flight somehow, that would be greatly appreciated! The wedding I am shooting is on the 9th and our anniversary is on the 10th, so I would prefer that we not be in different countries on our 3 year anniversary!

Gallery Night A Success!

I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who came out to gallery night at Main and Vine Art Gallery!. I was there from 6-10pm and the place was packed the entire time. I got to meet a ton of new people and it was so cool to see people studying my work and trying to figure it out. I must have heard, “Wow it looks like a painting,” at least twenty times during the night! I also got to meet in person a few photographers I have only known through facebook up to this point, as well as some new photographers I had never met before at all. I plan on getting more and more involved with the local galleries around here so be looking out for more information. I may be doing some classes on photography before too long.

Ben and Alisha’s Wedding at Keller UMC

Last month I got the opportunity to shoot the wedding of Alisha and Ben Hansen at First United Methodist Church of Keller. Also known as Keller UMC, this church has an absolutely gorgeous sanctuary and is a great place to consider for a wedding in Keller, TX. The back of the sanctuary is made of huge glass windows from the ground to the ceiling with a huge wooden cross being used as a support for the entire wall. If you have a wedding here, you will likely be helped by Lisa Grelle, the Business Administrator and staff wedding coordinator. She did a fantastic job of making everything run smoothly. She is also an aspiring photographer so be looking out for her!

I actually met Alisha a number of years ago in college. We had a Bible class together she sat right by Kristin and I while we were dating. She also ironically enough went to the same church we did back in grade school. Small world huh!? So needless to say when I got this wedding referred to me by a good friend, I was pretty excited! While I am still in the process of editing this wedding, I thought I would post a few preview images here on the blog. Enjoy!

Amber and BJ | Dallas Fort Worth Wedding Photography

Friday, April 16th, 2010

Back in February I had the honor of photographing the amazing wedding of Amber and BJ at the glorious Bass Performance Hall in Fort Worth, Texas. The wedding was absolutely gorgeous, thanks to Julie Eastman of Extraordinary Events & Designs. She is a tremendous talent, and I highly recommend her if you’re looking for a wedding planner in the Dallas Fort Worth area or anywhere else for that matter!

I’m pretty excited to show this slide show. We got so many good images from this wedding and it just couldn’t all fit in one song. So we did two! What you wouldn’t know without watching the video is that the wedding had a Beatles theme. How cool is that!?

Bass Hall Wedding Photography | Amber and BJ

Saturday, February 27th, 2010

Brides, if you are looking for an amazing, classic, elegant place to get married, look no further than Bass Performance Hall in Fort Worth. Bass Hall is located right across the street from one of my favorite places in the world; The Flying Saucer, in the heart of Fort Worth at Sundance Square. I have always been a fan of Bass Hall, so when Julie Eastman of Extraordinary Events and Design asked me to shoot a wedding there, I was all over it! Julie Eastman was an absolute pleasure to work with by the way, and I would highly recommend her and her team to any discerning bride who wants the best. She is a brilliant decorator and a crazy gifted planner!

MEET AMBER AND BJ

Amber and BJ (the bride and groom) are two of the coolest people I have ever met! We finally got a chance to meet about a week before the wedding (something I insist on!) and I could tell right away that it would be a fun wedding. Both of them have great personalities are very genuine! I am drawn to genuine people, and because of this we ended up talking until the coffee shop closed and they had to kick us out! The wedding was a blast and very few wedding have that much dancing, for that long! That’s why I LOVE weddings! They are massive parties where everyone is having a blast, and I am there to capture it for everyone to remember. It was a blast, and I have some great pictures from the wedding! BTW, the two of them operate a marketing company called Anchor Marketing and Design, so check them out if you are in need of marketing advice, a website, blog, etc. But not now, they are currently on a plane to sunny Cancun to honeymoon! Have fun you two!

DETAILS, DETAILS | VAN CLIBURN RECITAL HALL AND MCDAVID STUDIO

The ceremony was located in the Van Cliburn Recital Hall which is actually slightly under ground. It’s pretty cool when you walk in because while there are windows lining the walls near the ceiling, the windows are at ground level. The room is covered in genuine, dark hardwood and the room is equipped with brilliant lighting with flourishes that adorn the walls. After the ceremony we headed over to McDavid Studio for the reception. McDavid Studio is another gorgeous room that you really can’t describe without just showing an image! Below is a sneak peak of the wedding. I will post more later, just a few details for now .

Keller Wedding Photography | Stephanie and Noah

Monday, February 8th, 2010

I thought for today I would post a few more shots from Stephane and Noahs vintage style wedding at Hillside Community Church in Keller, Texas. Hillside Community Church is probably the best place to get married in Keller. They just finished a brand new building where the reception was held. The community space is lined with glass from the floor to the ceiling with rustic brick and stained concrete floors. So if you live in Keller Texas and want to get married locally instead of traveling, I highly recommend this venue!
