Carlo & Monica - The Wedding

This past weekend I photographed a wedding unlike any I've photographed before. Carlo and Monica were married in Laredo, TX in a beautiful ceremony followed by an absolutely crazy reception. Their wedding date happened to coincide with the local Jamboozie festival (a Mardi Gras-like celebration) and as all the wedding festivities took place in the town square, the reception, festival, and parade were all sort of mushed together. The result was a lot of craziness and a lot of fun!

I'm still not sure what the significance of it was or why it was pink....or at the church, but there you go...




Isn't Monica stunning? I thought she looked so incredibly elegant.

Elijah's Newborn Session

This weekend I had the pleasure of photographing this little guy. Elijah was only 12 days old and what a cutie! He and his big sister did such a great job and he was so snuggly. Here are some of my favorite photos from the day.

Bill & Amanda - The Wedding

I photographed this lovely couple's wedding this past weekend. I think it was the smallest (wedding-party-wise) wedding I've ever shot but Amanda and Bill definitely had everything that counted. Amanda's two daughters stood up with them during the ceremony and the whole evening was very family oriented. It was great to see how close they all are and to witness them coming together as a new family! Here are a few of my favorites from the day...






Seeing each other for the first time...







The flowers and decorations were simple but stunning.


Reading a poem/letter from Bill just before walking down the aisle.







Even though it was a cold night, much of the reception took place outside. Guests took advantage of the heat lamps and beautiful lighting....
