Today I had the pleasure of photographing Neepa and Nomit’s Engagement portraits. We wanted to mix things up a bit between nice safe shots and my normal funky things I create. I absolutely loved the session today cause Neepa and Nomit are two very cool, non-traditional funky individuals who know how to have a good time.

Here are some shots for ya’ll to see..

This is what I call my mom shot, moms love this pose of the bride and groom looking in the camera. I missed this shot once and the mom made sure I take it a few times on the wedding day. So mom, here you go, this one is just for you with much love.

Here is just a casual portrait of Neepa with Nomit in the background. I had to move him back cause his million dollar smile was blinding me.. hehe (god I need better jokes)

Repeat after me folks – “You can’t pose these moments” Now say it 10 more times. I just love these two and the magic they brought to the session. Whenever photographers ask me about my photographs and the appeal they have to the public I tell them that a lot of the credit goes to the couple and booking the right type of client that loves and wants your style.

Going a bit old school here, these two just scream to be on the cover of some mag.

In the bar, nuff said.

So we had lost a lot of light due to slow wait service at the bar and had to resort to using artificial lighting (last resort) so decided to get a bit funky with the lighting and bring out the colors.

Getting a bit funky here both with the non traditional posing and the lighting courtosey of some loading dock light in Deep Ellum.

Then the action started to heat up a bit..

Had to get closer look at the action… ;-)

Someone called the cops on us (just kidding folks) but thought we would wrap up the session with a nice casual portrait in front of downtown Dallas and a Cop car.

I can’t wait for their wedding in two weeks…





I open my mail which has been collecting on my table for a week or so (I should check it more often huh??)…

It was the usual stuff, bills, bills, free oil change when you buy a car (SWEEET), oooooh 500 pounds of meat for only 45 dollars per week (better jump on that fat boy…) then I see this one envelope that looks like it has some cool stuff in it. I check it for contents and discovered that the minute I opened that envelope I was now an INTERNATIONAL AWARD WINNING PHOTOGRAPHER.

Allow me to explain by showing you the actual letter…

WPPI Awards Letter

So you see, Weddings in Mexico and Canada = International; WPPI Awards = Award Winning… see I knew you’d see it my way..

BTW Special thanks to my hot and amazing models (real brides) Courtney Bui and Natasha Collins. For all those ladies who wanna have the most amazing day, hire me (I’m hot!!) and then get Natasha’s mom (Kathie Seeley of Grand Events). Kathie is one of those ladies who you hand over your day and she will totally rock your event.

Here are the winning images…





I was invited to participate in a shoot with some other senior photographers in the Dallas area. It was fun to just go around for fun and get creative, another fun thing was when my buddy Cheryl turned her video camera on me and made a small instructional clip. Maybe I can get a copy of the clip from her and post it here later.. LOL

Here are some pics I shot…
