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!

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!

Hillside Community Church Wedding

About a month ago I helped shoot a surprise wedding at Hillside Community Church in Keller, Texas. The surprise was for the congregation of the church because Kari and Jon actually got married during Sunday morning service! Kari and Jon were actually married before and got divorced, and through the power of God and with the support of friends, family and a marriage class at the church, the two were remarried during the marriage series at Hillside! How cool is that!? I found out I was shooting this wedding the day before it happened and the whole thing happened in about 10 minutes. I was able to meet with the family before and get some group shots, as well as a few right after the quick ceremony. We have been going to Hillside Community Church for over five years now and I am so excited to be a part of what God is doing there! Congratulations Kari and Jon, and thanks for Sushi, it was great!

Hillside Community Church is a great place for a wedding. I shot one for Steph and Noah and had a blast. The main building is literally brand new and has huge windows that let in tons of natural light during the day into the community space. I definitely think it’s one of the best places to have a wedding in Keller.

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!
