Louis and Nichole

Having fun at the Revolution Bar!

"Is he flirting with her?"

Just one more kiss!

I was waiting for her leg to "pop up" like it does in the movies!

Bond, James Bond and this is my "Bond" girl!

Here's where Nichole and Louis will say their vows to each other.

I wish I knew what he was saying to her that made her laugh.

An experiment that turned out great from my point of view.  What you don't see is Robert on the other side holding the flash and I'm across 4 lanes of traffic with a Pocket Wizard on my camera.  I love trying new things.

Meet Louis and Nichole. They are so much fun to be around. A few weeks before we shot these images in downtown Bryan we did a mini shoot of the family. Nichole has a 9 year daughter named Arianna and Louis has a 4 year old daughter named Aslyn. The girls are as cute as they can be, but enough about them..... Let's get back to their parents.

Nichole wanted to do a bit more of a romantic shoot for them so they dressed up and we headed out for downtown Bryan for an afternoon filled with laughter, romance and even a drink to finish off the day at the Revolution Bar in downtown Bryan.

Here are a few of my favorites from their engagement session.  Congratulations, Nichole and Louis and I'm really looking forward to doing your Bridal session in Dallas.  Yea! A new spot to check out!

Reception and Catering provided by Briarcrest Country Club

On February 28 of this year, Robert and I along with another local photographer (Suzanne Laughlin of Simplistic Photography) were honored to be a part of the Gandy-Mathis wedding celebration. Kim and Bubba had been clients of ours for several months and we got to really know them as we documented their engagement session and Kim's bridal session. Kim is a school teacher in Bryan and Bubba works for Garett Mechanical. Several weeks in advance we met with Bubba, Kim, Verna Mathis (Bubba's mom) and Susan Gandy (Kim's mom) to talk about the wedding day timeline and the details of their "First Look". They had come to us with the desire to have a special "before the ceremony" photo session. We highly encourage our clients to consider this as an option for various reasons but we didn't even have to convince them. They were all for it.  That Saturday I started the day by meeting Kim and several of the bridesmaids at "A Wild Hair" Salon in College Station. Then it was off to the church to get ready for the rest of the day's activities.  From 3:30-5:30 pm we worked diligently and efficiently with Suzanne posing the groups and Robert shooting from the balcony and me shooting from the aisle.  Due to the fact that Mass was at 6pm we were able to take a much needed break and then return in time for the 7pm wedding.  The ceremony was beautiful and the reception was exceptional. It was obvious that Bubba and Kim along with their families put a lot of effort into the planning of their day. Everything went smoothly and we had such a fun time mingling with the guests and getting really fun dancing shots.  The evening ended with Kim and Bubba being swept away by their limo driver. The next day they would be leaving for a skiing trip in Wyoming!  Congratulations, Kim and Bubba Mathis and thank you so much for allowing us to be a part of your very special day.
