Colby & Katie’s Wedding

Katie & Colby were married at First United Methodist in McKinney a little while back so we took full advantage of downtown McKinney to get that great McK urban feel.  After that, we headed over to the Cotton Mill for the reception, which is always a great choice for a party!  Here’s a few pics to tide you over, as I pull some reception photos for another post. Thanks guys for a great wedding.

Bentley Family Pics

A few weeks back, I shot some photos of the Bentley family including the twins Dirk & LeBron.  Ok, it was actually Morgan & Mason and they are super cute and were also fellow Yo Gabba Gabba Live attendees!  We met up at a park in Plano and had a great little family session.  We had plant tickles, wildlife, the munchies and even a little slip of the tongue…

Jeff & Carissa’s Wedding at TPC Craig Ranch

Jeff & Carissa had a great wedding at TPC Craig Ranch a little while back and it quickly became a new fave!  Such a gorgeous golf course and venue with so many great spots for photos.  The weather was almost perfect… cloud cover the whole time getting ready and during some quick pics before hand, but alas the ceremony began and so did the rain.  They didn’t let it affect them at all though, just moved it under the patio and acted like it was supposed to be that way.

Coordinator: Christina Degelia
DJ: Randy Brannon
Transportation: Premier Transportation

Carissa looked gorgeous and how do you not love that dress?  You have to love the head piece as well.

100309-0001-4

And another quick one from inside TPC.

100309-0001-5

Then we made our way outside to that gorgeous light and backdrop…

100309-0003-2

100309-0006

100309-0004-2

100309-0005

Same light, different settings and added light can give you a whole new look.  If you are only doing available light… you’re missing out on some great looks!

100309-0001-7

One from the dressing room.

100309-0056

Before we start shooting the guys.

100309-0267

And Jeff is all ready to go!

100309-0284

And then so was the rain as the seating began…

100309-0506

So under the patio we went as if nothing happened.

100309-0577

100309-0604

Here was I really liked for some reason that George shot from under an umbrella.

100309-0606

And just to prove it.

100309-0620

The inside of TPC all setup with flowers from The Flower Shoppe

100309-0002-2

And the cake from Romano’s Bakery

100309-0008

We had to sneak away during the reception for some intimates…

100309-0001

Which I highly suggest every bride and groom make time to do…

100309-0002

or you don’t get all the cool pics that Jeff & Carissa did…

100309-0004

And a great sparkler exit to finish it all off.

100309-0009

Cans for Comments

Jump on the Can Wagon!

logo-cans4comments-300x300

That’s right!  It’s Cans for Comments… For every comment this blog receives between now and December 20th, 2009 we will donate a can of food for each comment to the McKinney Food Pantry.  So leave a comment, donate a can to help feed the needy.  We’ve upped the odds as well!  For every 20 comments, we’ll add on a bag of dried beans and for every 50 comments we’ll add on a box of powdered milk.  Those are the items that the McKinney Food Pantry was in need off as well as canned fruits and vegetables, so if you’d like to help too, please visit their website at http://mckinneyfoodpantry.org.  So 100 comments would be 100 can goods, 5 bags of dried beans and two boxes of powdered milk.  Help us help them, just by leaving a comment on the blog, something like “Great Cause!”, “Great Pics!”, “Donate a can for me!” or just “We love you Josh!” is all it takes to help at this time of year.  Then forward the link to a friend and have them do the same.

Dallas Photo Shootout

A few weeks back, Jared another photographer here in Dallas lined up some models for a fun little meet-up that he called a “shootout”.  What’s a shootout?  I didn’t know either, but I knew it sounded like fun, so I was in!  So, a dozen or so of us Dallas Photogs got together to shoot a couple that is recently engaged for a dozen or so different points of view.  I knew we had a bunch of available light shooters, so while I did shoot some available light, I decided to try and use more light and provide a little different look and hopefully I achieved that.  Some of the other photographers in attendance were:  Allison DavisAmy KarpAndrea CrosswhiteCatie RonquilloCelina GomezJared ReyJason HuangJason AndersonMagaly AbbottStacy Reeves and Stephen Brown if you’d like to see their blog-worthy pics as well.  It was a ton of fun and I met some new people, even learned I had a blog stalker, so I guess I need to blog more often and make my one stalker happy!  Enough babble, you’re here for the pics!

 

Meet Tod and Ashley!  
111909-0001

Now I must mention again, a dozen or so photographers are all shooting pictures at the same time, so imagine the paparazzi shooting an engagement and you are there!

111909-0002

You know, I luv my blue skies!

111909-0005

Behind the scenes, you’d occasionally see a photographer posing and directing like Stacy below…

111909-0003

One of the problems, when trying for a wide angle shot like below, you had too many photographers in the way…  But that’s okay!

111909-0011

Cuz Jason is more than willing to stand in once everyone moves spots!

111909-0012

Back to those gorgeous blue skies, I loved this one…

111909-0016

And I’ll toss in one SOC (Straight Outta Camera) so that you don’t think it’s all photoshopped.

111909-0015

Did I mention there were a bunch of photographers there?  Sometimes they even were in charge of hair, like Jared below.

111909-0020

Which made it easy to snag pics like this…

111909-0022

and another little behind the scenes look at a few of the photographers in attendance, and my light of course!

111909-0026

 

111909-0033

 

111909-0034

111909-0039

 

It wasn’t all work though, there was plenty of footsie playing and leg rubbing going on, but I can’t tell you who was rubbing on Tod’s leg.

111909-0038

 

111909-0037

Like I said, I did shoot some available light…

111909-0041

And some light that was available to me…

111909-0047

And a little different light that was available was the mini-frezzi video light…

111909-0057

111909-0059

111909-0064

111909-0073

111909-0077

 

111909-0078

111909-0083

Afterwards, we even did dinner and you’ll have to try and guess who’s fake birthday resulted in a chicken on their head…

111909-0086

Catie Ronquillo - Awesome shot dude! Love that blue sky and all your off camera stuff. Sweet! Plus 1 can. :)12.03.2009 - 12:36 am

amy karp - nice meeting you that night! (finally!!!) love these shots and PLUS ONE COMMENT FOR http://cansforcomments.com :D12.03.2009 - 9:55 am

Allison Davis - Great to meet you at the shootout. Nice work! Love the sky shot - light master! Just super sweet.12.03.2009 - 1:25 pm

Jason - Great shots Josh! I'm still very thankful for your lights ... otherwise I'd been up a creek after dark. :-) So thanks again!12.08.2009 - 8:52 am

Celina Gomez - R u talking about me??? (your blog stalker) lol Love off camera light! Oh and you totally convinced me to buy that really cool light stand. ;-) Celina12.09.2009 - 9:56 pm

admin - Yep, I sure was. Thanks for letting me know and nice seeing you again the other night.12.13.2009 - 5:04 pm

Greg & Christen’s Wedding

Greg & Christen were married a while back and we’re slowly playing catch-up on all the summer weddings.  Anyways, they had a great little backyard country wedding out in Celina, but here’s a a few pics from the wedding. Then I’ll try and go back and grab some from the time away from the blog.

Matt & Kendra’s Engagments

Matt & Kendra will be getting married soon, so I wanted to post a few pics from their E-Session at Adriatica.  Matt & Kendra are good friends with my family and Matt was even in my wedding.  We’ve gone to church together for years and our mom’s are co-presidents of the Kick & Stretch club, not to mention like long lost sisters.  They’ll be getting married at my parents house soon, so I’m sure we’ll have more to post in a few months.

Michael & Stacey’s Wedding at St. Ann in Coppell

Michael & Stacey had a great wedding at St. Ann Catholic in Coppell, TX, which happens to be one of the prettiest  and best churches around for weddings.  There are so many spots to take pictures in and around the church, with the courtyard and the little garden area, both chapels, etc…  Here’s a snap of the church and it’s great copper domes.

071109-0002

Michael and Stacey decided to go with a first look and get their pictures out of the way before the ceremony which always gives you lots of time before hand for tons and tons of pics.  So if you decide to go that route, we always like to capture the moment and then give you a minute with your spouse to be.  Here’s a couple from that first meet.   One from me:

071109-0077

And one as Stacey just reaches Michael from George:

071109-0078

And the meet:

071109-0087

If you can’t just feel the love here, you must the tin-man!

071109-0149

Stacey loves doors, so these doors were more than a perfect backdrop!

071109-0139

071109-0219

More of those perfect backdrops for photos:

A nice relaxed portrait of the happy couple:

Ceremony time:

And then a few more relaxed portraits before heading to the reception:

071109-0663071109-0665

Later on during the reception, we snuck in another quick pic:

071109-0939

You gotta love the effort sometimes on trying to get the bouquet, but the little ring bearer in the middle of the action cracks me up the most!071109-1046

And a sparkler exit from the Indian Creek Golf Course:

071109-1062

Congratulations guys, we had a ball and enjoyed every minute.
