Facebook has been a great way for me to get share my work with my new and old friends. This is one example of facebook helping me grow my business.

Suzanne and I went to the same high school and graduated together, we have been friends on facebook and myspace and she got referred to my work through facebook by another friend. She loved my work and hired me to do her engagement, bridals, and wedding. I couldn’t be more excited or honored!

I got to spend some time with Weston and Suzanne in McKinney at the old Cotton Mill. I do not have enough words to explain just how awesome this place is to shoot. I got to visit this place once before with another photographer I assisted and knew I wanted to come back here and shoot with someone, I got to show Suzanne some pictures of the place and she was right on board with me! We had a blast at this location because of all the neat places to shoot, we could have been there all day because there is just so many places to shoot! But enough about the location and let me show you my favorite pictures from this shoot. Enjoy!

I had the honor of shooting an engagement session for James and Kristin almost a month ago in downtown Ft.Worth. Kristin found out about me through her  friend Erica Pasvar, which you may remember from some of my past weddings where you would find Erica diving and catching the bouquets! So I think it was awesome that I have friends talking about me AND people who check out my site and want to hire me. Very cool stuff and always an honor. Not to mention that after I shot their engagement session they both decided to hire me to shoot their wedding, DOUBLE honor! Thank you so much James and Kristin for giving me this opportunity, I had such a great time shooting this engagement session, and I couldn’t wait to start editing them. Enjoy my favorite shots from the session!

As you are reading this I am on vacation in Canada visiting my wife Jessica’s family!

Enough about me though. Luke and Tori are getting married the week I get back from Canada. So we took some engagement photos the week before I left for New York. We spent some time at the Square in Denton, TX and then we went down the road to Luke’s family house and took some pictures in the woods. Here are some of Tori, Luke, and my favorites. Enjoy!

Just when you thought I was finished taking engagement shots…I come and surprise you with more! These are the last of my engagement shots that I took from the weddings that I have booked this summer. Take some time to meet Emily and Chris, we all know each other from Denton Bible Church, Emily has been an acquaintance of mine ever since she was roommates with a good friend of mine. It was such a pleasure getting to know Emily and Chris better during our time together at this session, they are such a fun and cute couple which will be obvious to see in their pictures below. We all seemed to have a similar sense of humor which made for a fun session and good conversations. We spent their engagement session in downtown Ft.Worth, which is such a beautiful place, much more different than downtown Dallas haha! The session started at the First Christian Church in Ft.Worth where Chris and Emily will be married, we then proceeded to walk along the streets and find some fun places to shoot. Thank you Emily and Chris for a fun time, enjoy the pictures!

Meet my friend Korey and his fiance Kelly. I was roommates with Korey for a year while I was living in Denton. He is an amazing illustrator of children’s books, his characters are very fun and full of imagination. He is also one of the silliest guys I know. I was honored (I know I know I always say it) when they asked me to be their photographer. We spent some time in downtown McKinney for this shoot and we had a good time. I think you can see much of their personality in these pictures. Enjoy!

Update: (5/2/08)
I took some pictures with Korey and Kelly eating some cupcakes, and these aren’t just random cupcakes, they actually have a cute story and special meaning to the both of them. Since I am not the most elegant writer I am going to allow Kelly to give you the story:

“Once upon a time in a town far, far away - called Denton - lived a guy with a huge sweet tooth. Every week he would visit Target for his weekly grocery purchases. One day the sight of the cupcakes in the bakery section caught his eye. “Mmmm…” he said to himself. “I just have to take these home.” Not too long afterwards he met a girl online who he started talking to on a regular basis. Every day she would hear about these cupcakes and how great they were. When it came time for the couple to meet, he thought he would surprise her with one of these fabulous Target cupcakes at the end of their date. Little did he know that she had tasted some awesome cupcakes at a local bakery in McKinney. These cupcakes were the “bomb” because they were huge, were piled high with icing and had a fabulous cream filling. Upon her sister’s suggestion she decided to surprise him with one of these cupcakes at the end of the date since he had such an affinity for them. Towards the end of the date when the couple decided to surprise each other with the cupcakes, lo and behold, they each handed the other person a cupcake! She was so touched that he would share his cupcakes that he’d been hoarding for the past couple of weeks and he was so amazed that she was so thoughtful to bring him a cupcake knowing that he liked them so much. And what else is to be said except that it was love at first bite. When this cupcake lover decided to pop the question of course he included one of these fabulous cupcakes from Target. The ring was actually sitting inside of a rose petal that was on top of the cupcake. As a result, she said yes to the cupcake and to the guy, and now there will be cupcakes at the reception to take place of the groom’s cake. Yum!”
