Melissa's Bridals

Since Melissa and Justin have tied the knot, here are a few of my favourites from Melissa's Bridal session! For this session, we woke up quite earlier than both Melissa and myself are used to (sunrise) and it was held at the Texas State Cemetery! It's a beautiful place, and offered a lot for our session!

This is the photo that Melissa chose as her print for the wedding!

This is my absolute favourite photo from the session! I love it!

This was a great bridal session and I loved it!

Melissa + Justin - 13 June 2009

Melissa and Justin contacted me through CraigsList. They were my fourth wedding that I booked, and were SO sweet and fun!

Their wedding was an outdoor wedding (literally one day before the record 100 degrees and up streak here in Texas) at The Ranch House at Tera Vista in Round Rock, TX. It was beautiful! The interior was just lovely and the land surrounding the Ranch House was great - it's a golf course!

This is the first post in the "flash back" posts.

Thank you to Melissa and Justin for allowing me to take part and capture your beautiful wedding!

With love

Welcome Back, Alyssa!

Wow! Talk about a long hiatus! Too long, if we're being honest! I'm not completely sure why I haven't posted in a while. I have been quite busy with weddings and Summer session classes, but although I'm still going to be busy, I'm going to commit time to blogging and updating everyone with photos, and specials and deals!

This post is going to be extremely short, but I wanted to post a small sample square of some of my favourite shots from my most recent wedding! I loved everything about this wedding and will elaborate on it all in good time! This post is a bit of a jump forward, and I'll be flashing back to blog about sessions/weddings that were done before this one! Whew!

Anyway, here is a sample square of photos from Melanie and Lloyd's wedding on the 18th of July 2009!

Like I said, I loved everything about this wedding!

You may also notice I have a new logo! I made it myself! I am proud! :D

Expect more updates, because they're a'comin'!

With love.

Nate and Emily Engagement Photos!

First thing: this couple is so amazingly fun(ny), sweet, and so in love that it's just so great to work with them! They contacted me through a mutual friend and hired me to photograph their wedding this September. When we first met, I learned that both of them went to my current university (Texas State), and Emily was going to graduate May of this year. Well, she's done that, and now it's 150% overhaul on wedding plans! This girl is so smart! She's doing basically everything DIY! I love that - I mean, newlyweds are NOT immune to this economy, and she knows that!So, this past Saturday we ventured to our university (as alumni and a current student) to take their engagement photos! I had such a blast, and I'm very happy with the results of the photos!Second thing: The photos! Here are some examples!

Emily and Nate: I am so extremely excited for your wedding! Thank you again for including me in this process and on this very special occasion! Hope you like the photos, and I'll see you soon to give them to you!

Stacey's Grunge Fashion Shoot!

When I look at fashion layout sessions, I always wonder how I can get into that. I mean, I don't focus too much on the fashion/editorial aspect of photography, but it's still very fun.

I have an actress/model friend - Stacey - that is so dear to me! She's definitely one of my best friends, and we've become so close in the short time that we've known one another (well, probably over a year)! She's so great and always willing to be my model - she loves it! ha ha!

Well, we were catching up at a coffee house and I said that I really wanted to do a grunge inspired fashion shoot with her! We definitely did just that the other day! We got some really great photos. Here's a glimpse!

There are those beauties! I love how they turned out!

I'm excited for this Saturday - I have an engagement session in San Marcos and the couple is just so great! I'll be posting about that later next week!
