Engagement Portraits: Jada & Jon

Jada and Jon were another of my couples to choose to do their engagement session in the fall, the most wonderful season in Texas. I went to high school with both of them, and hung out with Jada a fair bit in middle school. It's exciting seeing all my hometown buddies getting engaged - I was a bit ahead of the curve when I got married in 2009.

We romped around on the train tracks, but Jada and Jon currently hold the title for Most Awesome Clients Ever because they arranged with a local pilot to let us use his cherry red airplane for part of our session. So. Awesome. They didn't even know the guy. They just cold called his house a week or so before the shoot and begged and pleaded. I think there might have been baked goods involved. Did I mention that they're awesome? Because, wow.

They've now outdone themselves in an even bigger and better way in the Awesome category, but more on that in a minute.

Airplane!

I'm in love with Jada's tattoos. Makes me want to expand on my own. Mom and Dad, you never read this. Never happened.

There have been a few changes in plans along the way in their wedding planning process, for which Jada is always adorably apologetic. First 'twas going to be a ginormous wedding this coming Fall, but she decided a big wedding was not what she wanted after all. Next was a plan for a Spring wedding with just their very nearest and dearest at a historic courthouse or somewhere equally interesting locally. And now, a Spring wedding is still in the works, but it has been moved to SCOTLAND and I'm going with.

In case you didn't hear me,

I'm going to Scotland.

I love all my clients but they're winning the Most Awesome Clients Ever award fair and square right now. But if anyone wants to take me along to Ireland...

Allen, TX Engagement Portraits: Aislinn & Sean

Back in November, I met up with Aislinn and Sean on the decommissioned railroad tracks in Allen. This is definitely one of my favorite places in town to shoot, and oh man, the November evening light was so, so gorgeous streaming through the golden Autumn leaves. Fall is hands down my favorite season in North Texas, and Fall photo sessions are a large part of that.

These two are silly and adorable and so obviously in love. It makes my job so easy and fun.

They spontaneously broke out in a stick duel. I'm happy to document it. I would like to see a rematch on the wedding day though.

They're hogging all the gorgeous blue eyes and it isn't fair.

I'm a simple solitaire sort of girl, so naturally I -love- Aislinn's ring. Gorgeous.

Favorite shot of the day, hands down:

Although today was 70+ degrees and beautiful (January, what are you doing?) I still want to bottle this November light up and carry it with me always.

We ended the session over at Allen Heritage Village, another favorite haunt of mine.

I'm so looking forward to shooting their wedding in April. I couldn't ask for more fun, photogenic clients (despite what people may have told you Sean, you're -both- naturals in front of the camera) and I have no doubts that their wedding will be a joy to shoot.

Dallas Wedding Photography - Styles & Trends for 2011

Dallas Wedding Photographers

Dallas Wedding photography is an exciting and evolving field that requires artistic talent, vision, and highly technical expertise - if your wedding photos are to turn out looking gorgeous consistently , even under different venues and lighting conditions.

In the past, wedding photography was almost always limited to stiff posses without much regard for the underlying story, emotion, romance, and behind the scene events of the wedding day.

There is still a big segment of the wedding industry that practices traditional photography with its pre-planned poses, and recreation of the wedding peak events such as the kiss, the ring exchange, etc.. However, the contemporary wedding couple demands a more modern approach to their wedding day photography! 

Wedding photojournalism has been in vogue for the past decade. The central idea behind it has been to photograph the wedding events without any interference or direction from the wedding photographer. To record it as it unfolds. In Dallas wedding photojournalism, the wedding photographer is there to capture the true essence of the wedding day. As a result of this realistic approach the photographs are a true representation of the wedding day. 

Several respected wedding photographers offer a hybrid approach to wedding photography, usually a combination of traditional and journalistic wedding photography. In this approach the photographer focuses on documenting the wedding day but the coverage also includes a session with the couple for formal posed or semi-posed photographs and also family group photos. That is exactly what you can expect to enjoy from all our Dallas wedding photography packages.

The latest trend in wedding photography is toward a more fashionable approach -- inspired on high-end fashion magazines such as Vogue, Elle, InStyle, Cosmopolitan, Glamour, GQ, American Photo, etc., and wedding magazines the photographer seeks to make the couple's fantasies real. In the fashion wedding photography approach the goal is to make the wedding couple look their best!

To tell you the truth, this is what I like most to get to do! The bride and groom's romantic interplay is glamorized and highlighted - treating you like celebrities out of a magazine! My attention to detail is required to achieve the perfect look. This approach requires a great deal of artistic talent and lighting skills from your wedding photographer and also great computer image editing skill to produce a unique photo. Most the photo is made on the camera with the rest achieved though digital image editing and manipulation. After all, the magazine photos and celebrity photos are often touched up to look a little "better than the real thing."

Which style is best? That is for you to decide. In our experience, a big segment of the wedding couples want to capture the reality, details and romance of the wedding day but at the same time they have fantasies about their wedding and the way they should look.

When making a right choice for a Dallas wedding photographer look at the portfolio and see how it agrees with your desires on how your wedding day should be photographed. Regardless of your philosophy please make sure that you select an experienced wedding photographer... because you and the next generation deserve masterpiece memories of your wedding day!

So let us deliver perfect wedding photography for the memories you want! Simply call our Dallas wedding photography studios at 877-858-0071.

Snow in North Texas

We got a pretty good amount of snowfall on Sunday in the affectionately dubbed Snowpocalypse 2011. There's about 3 inches of snow that's still hanging out in my front yard on Wednesday, which is pretty remarkable for Texas. I'm used to getting a half inch overnight and it being gone by noon the same day!

I had a great time running around in the snow with my great danes, my cousin and his family, and one of my good friends. I still need to go through the rest of my photos but here's one of my favorites with a little animation thrown in for extra fanciness.

2010 Recap: Favorite Wedding Photos

In 2010, I was lucky enough to shoot my first three weddings. It's not exactly an impressive number, but it's a number I'm proud of all the same. I was the second shooter at the first, and the primary photographer at the other two. Each wedding was such a learning and growing experience, and I'm incredibly thankful to the brides, grooms, and their families who welcomed me into their important life events. Part of why I didn't more actively pursue weddings at first was that I wasn't sure if I would enjoy working these sometimes stressful events. I can now confidently say that I love it. I really can't think of anything I'd find more rewarding than documenting these awesome celebrations of love. I thrive on the adrenaline-fueled breakneck pace.

Here's a peek back at my three 2010 weddings.

Raquel Cesar:

Sara & Trenton:

Kate & Greg:

I've already booked four weddings in the first half of 2011, and I'm incredibly excited for each of them. I already knew one or the other member of most of these couples, but I've loved getting to know them and their fiances better at their included engagement sessions. I know the weddings of 2011 are going to rock my face off. Can't wait!
