So I shot this bridal about two months ago, one VERY hot sunday evening… If someone knows how to turn the thermostat down a bit here in Dallas, please give me a call, till then enjoy the pics, the wedding photos will be on the blog tomorrow..

I truly am blessed to have some amazing clients and this wedding was no exception. It was a bit smaller in scope to the ones I am used to but oh my god did they have just as much fun and did they make me get a bit emotional during the ceremony… Here are some images from their wedding along with a slideshow (may take a minute or two to start up due to the large file, but totally worth it.)

So now that I am finally getting caught up with a lot of the projects that were delayed to my VERY crazy shooting schedule i’m now finally able to get back to blogging, after some careful motivation by a few brides.

Renee and Roderick’s wedding ceremony was at Christ the King Catholic Church in Dallas. I have to say that they are one of the most accomodating and truly undertanding facility to get married in. Once we were done with the ceremony the reception party was at the Adolphus hotel in Dallas and the party was DJed by my good friend Randal Stout who also provided the spectacular lighting of the event through his L-U-M-E-N lighting company.

Here are some images and a link to their complete wedding gallery..

And here is their complete GALLERY

This past weekend I had the honor of photographing the union of Ashraf and Akbar and I have to say that it was a few fun filled days. These two really loved each other and had such a great time with each other that it made my job a LOT easier. Here are some images from the wedding and the Pitthi days for you guys to enjoy.

This is a fun day for me, first my family is in town for the holidays and that’s always a special special time of the year for me, but also because today Katie and Brad’s wedding gallery is online today. Now Katie and brad are two amazing people, and I am lucky to know them. Katie and I first started talking about me covering her wedding about 8 months ago and since then I have taken literally thousands of shots of Katie and Brad. This gallery is the result of those shoots we did and the fun we had in the process. I want to thank you two again for allowing me to capture your love and I know that you will cherish these images as much as I did creating them for you.

Here is the full Gallery

So as I am getting caught up with editing I just started working on Katie and Brad’s wedding. It was a fun wedding in San Antonio, Texas on the campus of Trinity University. The entire day was full of love and the perfect recepie for a beautiful wedding.

You start with a handsome groom..

Then add in a gorgeous bride

add in some absolutely adorable flower girls and some loving friends…

Here are some more shots from the post ceremony and the reception…

Oh I can feeel the pain here!!!

I love it when we get some fun dancers on the floor.

Brad and Katie’s send off was a flower petal send off.

Check back here on the 19th of November for a link to the rest of the photos.

Last weekend I photographed Neepa and Nomit’s wedding in Grapevine, TX. It was a traditional gujrati wedding followed by anything but traditional reception. It was a fun filled night that Neepa and Nomit’s friends will be talking about for a while. Here are some images from the wedding and the reception.

This was the mandap where they got married. I have never seen anything like this, it was completely lit and the pillars revolved in place.

The barat started at the front of the hotel with everyone dancing up a storm.

Even Nomit got into the spirit and danced right before he entered the hall for the ceremony.

Here is Neepa escorted by her parents.

She is all smiles after seeing Nomit.

Neepa’s parents giving her hand to Nomit.

Neepa leading Nomit around the agni.

Then it was Nomit’s turn to lead Neepa.

Nomit’s grand pa laughing at the guys who wouldn’t let Nomit go until he paid them off.

Neepa and her dad getting emotional during Neepa’s Vidai (leaving her family for Nomit’s)

Neepa’s mom was very emotional as well.

Nomit and Neepa left in an Aston Martin, gotta give it up for style.

Playing around with some textures.

An awesome cake for the reception.

Ok so it only took me 4 parts to blog about this wedding but i’m trying to save a few surprises when the gallery goes online tomorrow night..

Here are some more shots from the couple session and the reception and I gotta tell ya, the food at the reception was off the hook and they do know how to party down there..

Love capturing moments such as these totally unposed and very spontaneous.

Yeah they pretty much kept on kissing all night when they were not dancing up a storm..

Kim’s brother officially got the party started with I believe a Michael Jackson song..

We had a blast on the dance floor, everyone in this family can dance and very well I might add.

our lovely couple sharing a moment while everyone else is partying..

I always make sure we get a few shots of the couple during the day and here we happened to get some nice romantic shots on our way back up to the main lobby.

Love the colors in Mexico.

One last shot as they walk to their rooms..

I have to say that shooting in Cabo was another great experience and now i’m looking forward to working with Kim and Kevin on the design of their album and tell their story for them to cherish for years. Thanks for having me along guys, it was a BLAST!!!

Welcome to part 3 of the of Kim and Kevin’s wedding blog. There are truly tons of GREAT images from this wedding that it’s tough to tell the story with just a few. The wedding day was actually fairly relaxing with the wedding party either playing water volleyball or dune buggy riding. However they started getting into wedding mode around 2:00 PM since the wedding was around 6:00 PM.

Let’s start with the images:

Kim is getting her hair done in the suite, the RIU has some amazing room with excellent window lighting coming through

The flowers looked as good as they smelled, what an amazing bouqet.

The guys had just about enough of Kevin so they decided to rough him up a bit. LOL!! Love setting up stuff like this because you never know the reactions taht you will get.

The girls for a relaxed group shot by the resturaunt. I loved the color of the wall and the lighting was just perfect.

The inside of the resturant, the food display and the counters made for some interesting texture in the background.

Here is Kevin arriving at the church for the ceremony.

That smile could only mean one thing.

Yep here is Kim coming down the aisle for the ceremony in a quaint church in downtown Cabo.

The church was really small but it accomodated everyone who had travelled to the wedding including the rooster and the bell.

Right after the ceremony is my favorite time, it is when you get some real emotions and moments.

This shot says it all right here!!!

Stay tuned tomorrow for the reception and the bridal party photos.

So you came back for more… SCHWEEEET, let’s talk about this plot of land in Arizona.. no? Ok let’s get on with the photos then.

So where were we? OH YEAAA!! You guys were enjoying a few ice cold coronas while I was busy working away. Well put down the beer and take a look see at some of the shots from day two.

So I was wondering why the waters are so rough (rougher than normal for Cabo) and then it dawned on me, we had a hurricane headed our way. These two are still down there and ya’ll pray that nothing bad happens down there. They were real troopers and in their rehearsal clothes jumped into the water and braved the sand and surf for some photographic fun.

Real moments only happen when you create the environment for it… No way to fake smiles like these you know.

Too cute!!!!

Since we couldn’t get out to lovers beach I decided to use the rock formations as a cool background element.

My buddy COLE!!!!!! He is an amazing trooper and was totally with it during the entire wedding.

Cole’s dad and Kim’s brother giving Kevin a tough time for not taking him on the fishing trip.. LOL!!!! I think by the end of the wedding he got over it, I think.. You gotta watch out for this one, he’s an animal as you’ll see in the rest of the shots.

Our beautiful bride laughed throughout the entire rehearsal dinner, she has such an infectious laughter and an amazing attitude towards life.

Kim’s mom getting emotional at the rehearsal dinner..

All I gotta say is EVAN IS DA MAN!!!!!!!! Ladies, I want him at everyone of my weddings, seriously…

See what I mean? These two are my official Smokin Hot couple of the trip!!

Oh look Shelby found some more beer for ya’ll, and even got a Federali to help her carry it.. now that’s a girl who can get a guy to do what she wants. Well since we got beer, drink up, i’ll be back with more tomorrow.
