Is this not the coolest dressed groom ever?

This is from the wedding of Kim and Nick (one of my April weddings). The rundown...gold, pink and blue paisley tie, a light blue gingham shirt and a light gray and blue pin-striped suit. It was the most stylish and original I've ever seen on any groom. Definite thumbs up! Kim looked stunning as well in an ivory raw silk gown with lace top.

New website!

I am finally done with my new site. It is amazing how much time these things take. Luckily, I had my assistant extraordinaire Caroline to help pour through hard drives and re size images. It had been a couple years since I had redone my site and it really needed it. I wanted a design that was very clean and simple, so the viewer could really focus on the large images. It took a while to get all the colors just right (I could play with colors all day long) and I love them. I am still working on my "About" which is always the hardest part. Feel free to leave a comment and let me know what you think so far.

Baby #2 on the way!

Chris and I are so excited to announce that we are expecting our second child in September. We don't know if it's a boy or a girl yet, but I'll share the news when we find out (in 2 weeks). We did not find out what we were having with Elliot, but we are a little bit more anxious this time. Of course Elliot wants a boy to share all his Star Wars and Transformer toys with. Chris also wants a boy just because he thinks he won't be able to handle the thought of trying to protect a girl from all the bad boys out there (like he was never one!). I could go either way. At one point I thought I really wanted a girl, but now I can honestly say I would be thrilled with either. Weddings in March and April were particularly hard, but I had lots of help and I am feeling better now. My last wedding will be in June and I plan to start up again sometime in November. Thanks to all my friends, family and clients who were so supportive during my first trimester.

Megan and Kyle's Engagements

Megan and Kyle are getting married in couple months at Old Glory Ranch (one of my favorite wedding venues). They both live in Houston and I had never met the couple before. So I was thrilled when they opted to have an engagement session here in Austin.
I often times get booked by out of town brides (this year I literally have brides from California to New York) of whom I never get to meet before the wedding day. This is never a problem, but engagement and bridal sessions give us a chance to have a nice visit and get to know each other a little before the big day.
We had so much fun taking photos at the Capitol and then went on to the ever-so-popular Soco area for some fun candids. Here are just a few of my favs...

Featured in The Knot Real Weddings again!

I was really excited when the photo editor from The Knot contacted me after she saw the images of Kylie and Royce's wedding on my blog. She asked to see more, so I sent her to their Pictage site (which had all of Kylie and Royce's images). A week later, it was confirmed they wanted to feature the wedding in the Spring/Summer 2008 issue. This is always so exciting to me not just because my photography is featured, but I am even more happy for the couple that gets to say all their hard planning paid off and their wedding was published in a national magazine.

Some more great news from the Knot, one of my photographs of Jennifer and Trent was selected to be in The Knot's 2008 "Best of Weddings" issue. I'll be sure to post it as soon as it comes out.
