Hey super fun times! Some of my photography has been featured on yet another website! This makes the third time people have mistaken my work for superb photography. :)

Anyway, this times comes courtesy of Bride’s Cafe. A great little website with tons of tips for all you brides out there. They post new stuff daily so be sure and bookmark them and get ready to have your brain filled with ideas.

The images they are featuring are Davi & Jonathan’s wedding at Elmwood Gardens, and the best part is they also have the movie trailer Vanessa McKellar did for them, so after you watch the Bride’s Cafe post, hop over to Vanessa’s website to see more movie magic.

Have a great Wednesday everyone!

Wedding Photography Longview TX | Laura & Chad

Laura and Chad had a great wedding at The Belgium House in Longview. I love shooting there and will be posting a little interview I did with them later this week. Any of you brides looking for a wedding venue in that area really should give them a call.

I was really hoping this is how she would keep her hair for the wedding, but alas, the Blonde Salon in Kilgore had better plans. (903.948.7049)

Two quick images from Laura and Chad’s great wedding at The Belgium House in Longview.

How amazing is this cake from Edible Art? Seriously? A drum that you can eat? Awesome! If you are looking for a cake for a wedding or any other occasion you have to look into Edible Art. I interviewed them a few months back on the site, click here to read and find out more about them.

Here is one from their First Look.

Laura and Chad were pretty much smiling all day long. I had a great time and can’t wait to go through all their images.

Congrats you two.

Wedding Photography Album Goodness
Wedding Photography Album Goodness

Just got a in a new album and thought I’d try and share it with you. You may recognize Kim and Josh from thier wedding at the Villa di Felicita back in June. They were a great couple to work with and I thought I’d give Kim one final blaze of bridal blogging glory and feature her album on the site!

The pages are super thick and amazingly sturdy!

They also all lay flat so there is no big ugly crease keeping you from seeing your images!

Even though I’m posting some photos of the album, these really have to be held to be appreciated. The leather is soft and fluffy, sometimes my kids take naps on them before I ship them out to brides.

Kim and Josh are HUGE HUGE HUGE Aggies so I thought I would also take some extra special photos for them. :)

This may be the closest this album ever comes to a National Championship.

Here is the full album if any of you want to take a look at it.

In all seriousness, you brides out there should really consider these albums when booking your packages. It’s so neat to have something tangible that you can hold, put on a coffee table or pass on to your kids later on down the road. (If you have already booked and want to add an album to your package, shoot me an E-mail and I’ll get you a little deal worked up.)

Unity Sand | Wedding Photography Tips
Unity Sand | Wedding Photography Tips

So, here is a little tip for all of you brides. If you are wanting to do a “unity” portion in your ceremony, you really should consider having unity sand. It’s so much fun! You can pick something that matches your colors, it’s great to photograph, and best of all, you get to take it home after the wedding!

Rather than just some candle that get tossed, why not give yourself a little bit of wedding art to take home? It’s kinda a way of combining a bit of tradition, but giving it a more modern twist. It’s also a cool way to involve more people than just your parents and you don’t have to worry about the fire marshal shutting you down. :) Here are a few of my favorite Unity Sand photos I’ve done lately.
