I heart faces: "Wedding Bells"

It is no secret that I am a big fan of Jasmine Star's photography, and blog. Not only is she a super talented photographer, with tons of gorgeous pictures to ogle, and a talented writer but she is also incredibly generous with tips, techniques, and advice for her fellow photographers.
While checking her blog this morning I came across her link to another wonderful little piece of blogdom. I heart faces. This is a great site for photography hobbyists and professionals to be inspired and motivated into capturing pictures with emotion and heart. If photography is not an interest of yours you can still enjoy the sites for the visual feasts they offer. Who doesn't like to look at faces?

I heart faces also offers a weekly contest, this weeks guest judge is Jasmine star herself! The theme is "Wedding Bells" and this image of Kristen from last weeks wedding is my entry for this week's contest! Whenever she was near Buddy this smile would light up and reach everyone around her. I loved that face!



Sarah and Hannah, check out both sites. I think you will like them!

Engaged: Cara & Matt

I am so looking forward to Cara and Matt's wedding in Amarillo this Sunday!! It is going to be laid-back, friendly, and comfortable so it should fit them perfectly.

Dustin and I were both able to shoot their engagement session and I had the most fun with all three of them. 

Amarillo's well known rancher, Mr. Goodnight, must have been quite the cranky fellow... 












Cara and Matt, congratulations on your engagement and your soon-to-be wedding! 

A Wedding: Kristen & Buddy

I knew from their engagement session that Buddy and Kristen's wedding was going to be fun. They were such a great couple! Buddy loves to make Kristen laugh and Kristen, in turn, loves to laugh at him (in a good way)!

The day started with an early golf game for the guys...



Afterward, Dustin stayed with the groom and groomsmen while I joined Kristen and her bridesmaids...







Meanwhile...









The ceremony was at St John's Lutheran Church in Waller...





Man and Wife!



The reception was held at the Red Oak Ranch Pavillion in Hempstead. It was a big beautiful building with lots of windows (yeah for window light)!





I love, LOVE, that when I asked Buddy if he wouldn't mind doing more pictures (in the middle of the reception) because of the beautiful light outside he said "Sure"! Three cheers for Buddy! To top it off when I mentioned how cool it would be to get the entire bridal party outside he said "I'll go get them" and he did. Everyone came out and we played around for about 20 minutes. I was so happy I could have kissed them all. You all are AWESOME (and thanks for getting in the grass Kristen)!











Buddy and Kristen, it was such a joy and honor to shoot your wedding! We love how full of laughter and life you both are. We wish you the best and many, many, blessings in your marriage!

Sneak Peek: Robison-Braun

We had a blast shooting Kristen and Buddy's wedding this weekend. More pictures to come soon...

Sisters: Crystal & Janee

I have owed both of these ladies photo sessions for at LEAST the past year. On our recent trip to Conroe we finally made it happen and I am so glad we did!

Smokes!! They both have the most gorgeous eyes!

Ladies, I loved taking your pictures and I can't wait to see you all again!

A Wedding: Laura & Ryan

We loved being a part of Laura and Ryan's wedding! Laura's smile never left her face and her joy was apparent to all. Ryan was calm, collected, and up for whatever Dustin asked him to do. They were a Wedding Photographer's dream! More than that they are incredibly modest, caring, and very much in love! It was also obvious that there guests loved them and that they loved them right back.

 

Laura and Ryan, thank you so much for inviting us to be a part of your day, you are both gems and we are so happy for you both!!
