Hudson: A Newborn

Hudson was a pleasant break after the rush and pressure of so many weddings.  He was such a mellow, sweet guy through our entire session.
Christina and Scott, congratulations on sweet Hudson. We are so excited to watch him grow and see his personality develop!  Enjoy every second of his "newborness"!

Katherine & Jon: A Wedding

Katherine and Jon were married several weeks ago in the charming town of Navasota. They had a beautiful evening ceremony full of joy, tears, and celebration...
The beautiful bride getting ready...



Dustin went along as my second shooter, and once again rocked the groomsmen shots!

Katherine's Father wrote and performed a beautiful song for his daughter during the ceremony. I am pretty sure I was not the only one with a lump in my throat as he sang.
Katherine and Jon, thank you so much for inviting us to your rehearsal dinner and making us a part of your day.

Wedding: Marie and Sam

Dustin: As Leah's husband, I don't often get a chance to blog, but I asked for the opportunity immediately upon our return from Sam & Marie's wedding. I felt compelled to get some of my thoughts out.

Sam & Marie's wedding was wonderful, and I was moved... (can I say this in a manly way?) ...to tears. Marie glowed, and Sam was smitten… Perhaps enchanted would be a better word to use for Sam.

Their love for each other was apparent to any drooling neanderthal who happened to witness it. Enter drooling neanderthal. The love of the Bride and Groom for each other, the joy of their union, and the anticipation of their future together; this is what makes weddings the best celebrations we have in life. It makes us think about what is important and worth holding on to. It helps us to realize what is truly good in life. And for some of us, it makes us hopeful and excited in anticipation of a greater wedding ceremony to come…

Marie played the piano, and Sam the guitar; together they led all in a time of worship to the Living God. This was beautiful. They subordinated the joy of their union, to the anticipation of the return of Christ. Enter tears.

Thank you both for the opportunity to join in the celebration. You are a beautiful couple, and I wish you grace, favor and blessing...

Cassie & Robert

Cassie and Robert were married several weeks at Northwest Forest Conference Center in Cypress, this was an amazing venue, and the grounds were beautiful with secluded ponds, a recreated Alamo and a gorgeous Spanish-style Hacienda.Apparently Cassie's dress had the smallest hooks ever, it took her a brother all his patience to get those snaps snapped. He was very devoted to his sister and was a big help through out the preparation.



Andrew, Cassie and Robert's sweet son, was a little charmer and his Grandfather was very much smitten with both his Grandson and Daughter.





Robert and Cassie, thank you so much for letting us be part of your day. Congratulations to you both and I wish you a long and happy marriage! I am up for a family session anytime!

By the way, ya'll had the best music selection of any wedding in the history of the known universe!!
