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!”
