Clint’s shoot- Shalla & Chris’s engagement

This past weekend clint (an awesome photographer and friend of mine) shot an engagement. I shot it second hand, we shoot around second for each other. Clint found a different area with perfect light downtown. I was a little hesitant about the building, wasn’t sure how stable the structure was, since the building next door had a wall collapse. It’s easy to enjoy shooting with Clint, very funny guy.

Lacey & Jason’s engagement

Lacey & Jason were very fun to be with. Both have a very busy schedule and I was glad to be able to fit this in. You may remember them from Lindsay & Chad’s Wedding, Lacey is Lindsay’s sister. I am looking forward to their wedding in two weeks in sunny California, keep updated for that.

Kyle & Kristen

Saturday morning things were starting to jump back into gear, fortunately Kyle and Kristen were open and didn’t have to shift. The downtown area we wanted to shoot in was in great condition. Kristen wanted to have a few more fun shots in her wedding dress. (it happened)  We happened to stumble across a chair sitting in a grassy field.   It looked nice but the main questions were,  was how dry clean and was it stable, especially after ike?  It was bone dry and clean for the most part.  The lighting was perfect. 

Renee & Josh’s engagement

Renee & Josh had initially planned to have the shoot at Northwest Forrest but that facility was still in progress cleaning up from ike. We ended up shooting in a park close to the Northwest Forrest, which worked out fine. Renee & Josh took me to a railroad close by. It seemed awesome at first. When we got out of the car, we got attacked by some large, black, blood hungry bugs; (the biggest mosquitoes I’ve never seen). It started “clapping time”. A large can of OFF would have been nice. It didn’t ruin the shoot, just sped things up a little.

Carla & Van, expecting

About a week ago, Carla and Van met with me. We met at Clark Lara’s and 31 Film’s office to shoot Carla’s maternity.  Carla and Van got married in April last year and we got to photograph their wedding.  I just wanted to thank Clark and 31 films for letting us use their studio in Magnolia, pretty close to the woodlands.  Carla is about 8 month’s pregnant and looks great.

Clint’s wedding- Kelsey & Jack

Recently, I shot a wedding with my good friend clint. I was just there to goof off and have some fun shooting second hand. Everything went amazingly including the fact that his keys got locked in the trunk before the ceremony. Fortunately it was no major concern, just a little speed bump. The equipment wasn’t locked in and we had several hours before the ceremony and he was a member of AAA.

Jessica’s bridal

Everything got a little postponed this past week, because of vicious Ike.  My wife and I are doing great, everything is up and running again.  No severe damage to our place in Sugar Land.  The yards were a little ugly but easy to pick up.  We didn’t receive power ’til a couple days ago.  Nothing to complain about, just had to put things on hold for a second.  Fortunately we aren’t in an severe bind. We do have space, power and food if anyone needs anything.  

Anyways, Jessica had her shoot last weekend.  The weather worked with us and we got some cool images.

Happy Belated Birthday Clint

Yesterday was Clint’s birthday, a real friend. He’s a fellow photographer and a great guy . We went and just enjoyed the night.
This guy really helped me 2 days ago. I was in the wrong place and the wrong time and yea, my car bumped another. My car looked pretty bad, and it was drivable-ish … just making random nasty sounds. No one was hurt and these people were super relaxed and didn’t seem shady in any sense. We called the police everything went strangely smooth. There wasn’t the slightest argument. I ended up sitting in a car shop and would have been stuck there for a day. Not fun, bad ac, blurry tv, watching silly soaps, and old furniture. Things that tend push peoples buttons over time. Any ways, Clint happened to call me right then, I told the scenario, he picked me up in fifteen. Not too many people do that, I really really appreciate that.
Happy birthday again man.
About a week ago, Clint, Adam, and I went out and played with flash, in different light, playing with different ideas, testing some possibilities. Just used each other as models, and made strang faces. funner pictures that way. The first few are clint.

lea & ryan’s wedding

I have to give Bethany ,a former bride of mine, all the credit for this wedding.  She’s great friends with Lea and Ryan. I love it when a former bride of mine refers a bride to me and I get to see them at another wedding. 

They got married Saturday at the Christ Evangelical Presbyterian Church.  Everyone was there to just enjoy each others.  Everything went great…Good times.

Also, Gary Guy came out and helped a lot, shooting second hand.  He took some awesome shots and helped me a few predicaments with the camera.
