karen + gary | eSESSION

meet karen + gary (you have had a brief introduction here), but this is the formal intro for these two lovebirds. Gary brought props, but not just any prop, he brought his music to the session! I usually like to listen to my iPhone while I work, but not this time. I was trying to name that tune while I was shooting and guessed a few, but I really need to stick to photography and not music trivia. One of Gary’s requests was that I make sure he wasnt playing an “easy” chord while I was shooting…hope this one is a hard one, Gary! :)

we started shooting at karen’s amazing aunt’s home in Prosper and then made a few more stops along the way, her house was a photographer’s dream come true! GOOD CALL ON THE LOCATION, KAREN! loved, loved, loved it! karen is the winner of the “take me away, Amy” bridal, so we will be most likely going back to this photo-dream-land to do those. I loved our session together and I can’t wait for your wedding in September….it’s going to be fabulous!

megan + jared | WEDDING pt3

it’s time to party with megan + jared and just in case you missed the first two parts of this love story, you can find them right here  { part1 & part2 }. I loved this wedding in all of its southern charm glory! I was completing the formal pictures with the couple when Jeremy headed over to the Greenery in Waxahachie, TX. This was where we did part of megan’s bridals. Jeremy caught all of these gorgeous detail shots while I was RIDING A FIRETRUCK!!! What??? that’s one of the many perks of this job!

About this firetruck – I had to wear a seatbelt (safety first, right?) and got to sit in the front seat. Directly in front of me where these two HUGE temptations…buttons labeled, “SIREN” & “SIREN BREAK”. It was pretty loud during our ride and when I asked if I could push it (probably 10 times) I wasn’t getting a response. I kept taking pictures of it hoping it was push itself! My requests turned into, “I am about to push this” (probably said that a few times too) then finally to “I AM PUSHING THIS!!!” – that’s right, I got to sound the siren just as we pulled into the reception site! WHAT AN ENTRANCE!!! We took a few more pictures with the truck and headed in to dance away the night.

Kirk with ProDJ Entertainment worked the music and we partied all night!

Congratulations megan + jared!

megan + jared | WEDDING pt2

let’s get megan + jared married now….(pt ONE was on the blog just a little bit ago). the ceremony location was a historic landmark in Waxahachie, Texas – Bethel Methodist Church and this Church was beautiful. I just love it when my couples get married in older venues, the history is so strong you can smell it when you walk into the room (not a bad smell, a history smell – sounds bad, smells good!). The one not so fun thing about older venues in Texas Summers, is the lack of super-modern conveinences (AIR CONDITIONING!). this Church did have air conditioning, but it was certainly not built with it. megan + jared thought ahead on this one, not only did they have the gorgeous stained glass windows cracked for a bit of a breeze through, but they also had their programs for the ceremony printed on fans! How cute is that??? lastly, funniest Pastor yet! I walked in to talk with him before the ceremony and he was digging into a package of breath strips, it was so cute because the colors all went so well together, AND HE HAD FRESH BREATH TO BOOT! I talked to him for a few minutes and reminded him to smile during the kiss because he would be in the photos…..you be the judge if he paid attention to this tip :)

we will be partying next with megan + jared, so dont change that dial! For you twitter followers, this is the firetruck wedding :) images posting soon!!!
