Happy 60th Birthday!

I had the honor of photographing a fabulous event in honor of a fabulous guy! It is so fun when I get the opportunity to shoot an event that is neither a wedding nor a portrait session! The theme for the evening was CLUB 60.... think Vegas club (amazing band... fabulous decorations... delicious food.... sexy lighting....) meets neighborhood bar (all your best friends are there!) There were times I wanted to stop taking pictures and join in the fun on the dance floor! Thank you inviting me to join your celebration...I had a wonderful time! Happy Birthday and enjoy the photos!

April and Todd are Married!

I flew back to my old home sweet home, San Antonio, for the lovely wedding of a super sweet couple... April and Todd! It was so wonderful to be back home! The Riverwalk was all decked out with lights and my little photographer heart was just beating wildly! They had an evening wedding, so we met up before to have some photos with the sunset, and I am so glad we did!
April and Todd are the most wonderful couple, they are a perfect match! Even I was misty-eyed after their super emotional first look! Thank you two for such a wonderful evening... You were a dream to photograph! To Todd, I wish you a lifetime of April's infectious bubbly laughter and To April, I wish you a lifetime of Todd's sweet loving smiles. Lots of love to you both! Enjoy the photos!

I loved the Univ. of Florida garters that April made.... a super fun way to incorporate her husband's love of his school!





I love this next one of April as they were putting her dress on! April you are Radiant! So happy!





These next two are some of my favorite of April from the day... I just love the quiet peace of them as she puts on her finishing touches





First Look!! April and Todd decided to have a First Look, which I think is a fabulous idea... especially if you or your groom is a bit shy. We found a spot where they could enjoy the moment together, AND we could get some fabulous images of them before all of the wedding day craziness began. It makes the day feel so relaxed!

I love the emotion in these next two....









Off to take a few photos! Love this happy candid moment!

You can't have an Aggie wedding without the Aggie War Hymn... Gig 'Em!
