an engagement in Justiceburg, Texas

Clell and Ashley invited me out to his grandparents SPREAD in Rattlesnake land. I was a bit intimidated upon hearing about 122 snakes killed so far this season, but hey... new angles, new light, and and new inspiration. Right?

Definitely RIGHT. I loved hanging out at the Ranch and photographing these two! They were very gracious to work with me 1/2 the night and I'm so bummed I'm already booked for their wedding date. VERY BUMMED.

Thanks you guys! I had a great time.

ahh....

what a night!

Alexa and Brian were married June 23, 2007 at Texas Tech Merkett Alumni Center. It was an outdoor ceremony on such a pretty day! Yes, it was HOT, but what day isn't in West Texas?


I started the afternoon at Sophisticuts in Lubbock, Debbie Trevino did Alexa's hair. This is a shot of her tiarra before they started on the creation.





Then it was the MAC counter. I LOVE the MAC counter! Always cool colors to saturate and have fun with.



Ahh! The dress! Check out all those buttons! Yep...each and every one had to be fastened by hand with a crochet needle




This is Alexa's dad. I love this shot of him fixing his tie.





Handsome Brian and his "non pink" boutineer. LOL








The colors were fabulous! I love the bright hues of orange and pinks together!


















The Happy Couple!















Okay, I've been working my ring shots each week, really trying to come up with something new and unique to each couple. It turns out my video light works great at getting the detail out of the jewlery. I really like how this one turned out.











First dances are always a BIG favorite of mine. Such a great time in front of EVERYONE, for the bride and groom. I'm sure they are a bit nervous, but as the music continues and they sink into the song, it's just a great time! I absolutely ADORE first dances!

























Thanks you two for a wonderful evening! It was such a great wedding and I've had the BEST time getting to know the two of you! You can view more images at Alexa and Brian's online gallery. Just click HERE.
