Brianna & Mike : Wedding

This past weekend my friend from Orange County, Michael Norwood, and I shot a wedding for an awesome couple - Brianna and Mike. Mike (the groom) and his sister are both in a band and they actually played at one of my weddings a few months ago! The day pretty much went by smoothly, and besides the insane humidity we were able to get some really great shots. Check out his blog for more images!

Few details:







Here's the groom watching his beautiful bride come down the isle:









Handsome ring bearer!

Before I head out

Today I'm going to Galveston for an awesome wedding but I wanted to share a quick image from yesterday's wedding with Michael Norwood before I take off. Check back later for more images!!

Who need's Blockbuster?

My friends and I have an ongoing joke that if they ever need to rent a movie that they should just come over to my house. Over the past 4 years I have amassed a huge collection of movies that I very proudly showcase in my living room. Some people collect coins, others baseball cards, why not movies I say?

I just started buying Blu-Ray movies and that movie collection is slowly but surely growing as well. Every time I go to Fry's I check the Blu-Ray section to see what's on sell (meaning $25 or less) and grab a copy off the shelf. But with HD quality movies now being offered on iTunes, I wonder if this will be a waste of time and if I should switch to totally digital which was made a lot easier for me since my Apple T.V. purchase!! I think I'll miss having a hard copy that I can touch and feel though, and I know I'll miss all the extra's that come with the DVD like the Director's commentary and extra scenes. Regardless on what I decide, I think movie nights will continue to be at my house for a while!!





This isn't even all of them, I have another box full of them in my room... ran outta space :(

Feeling Neglected?

I can't believe that it's been almost 2 weeks since my last blog post. I really am ashamed of myself, I usually pride myself with being caught up on things and being this behind has caused me to neglect my blog the last few weeks. Good news though, I'm officially caught up tonight and I am ready to share a ton of things I've been doing the past few weeks including 3 weddings, 2 awesome engagement sessions, and a few random things that have been going on.

Also, If things start to look a little different around here in the next few weeks don't be surprised. I have a designer that I am very excited about, currently working on my new brand. I have also hired the incredible team at Into The Darkroom to work on a new/fun/hip/fresh/stylin blog for me!! I'm very excited about that, even though this could be the worst possible time to go through a rebranding process with wedding season in full swing, but I like to stay busy. Can't wait!!

On a side note, what the heck happened tonight Spurs!!! How do you blow a 20 point lead, something tells me that we might regret losing this game later :(

Robin & Keith : Wedding

A few weekends ago I shot a wedding for Robin and Keith. It was the first wedding I had after attending theLAB workshop and I was super excited to try out all the new things I learned!!

I really had a great time with Robin and Keith! I was able to shoot their engagement session early last month and had so much fun with them that I was really fired up to shoot their wedding. They are just so into each other and are just really great to be around!

They had their ceremony at St. Simon & Judd Catholic Church in The Woodlands, Tx. Here are a few of my favs:

Few details:





Looking good Keith!





Robin's bridesmaids were excellent helpers:

They had their reception at Shirley Acres, one of my favorite venues to work at in Houston. Few more detail shots:





The cake was delicious!

















Congrats guys, I had a great time!!

One Semester of Spanish??

I took spanish in high school and college for 4 years and I still can't speak a lick of it!! I'm just horrible with languages and I don't think I'll ever be fluent in one besides english... that side of the brain just isn't working for me I guess. Anyway, a friend showed me this funny video on youtube today about a guy who took one semester of spanish and decided to write a love song. It's pretty funny, check it out!



Ironically knew most of the words in this song :)

Movie Review : Iron Man

So I'm thinking about making this weekly movie review a full time thing. Hey, I love movies so much and I watch them all the time so why not share which ones I really like and talk about the not so good ones right?

Tonight I caught the sneak preview of Iron Man!! It'll be out tomorrow but I was so anxious to see it that I went a little early :) It was worth it.

The movie was terrific and I think it is one of the best comic book adaptions by far! Robert Downey Jr. does a great job capturing the character of Tony Stark and Jon Favreau does a wonderful job with the storytelling. He is a comic book fan so I had a gut feeling that he would put his all into this film and it is shows! I know I keep blasting about all these great movies I've been seeing (like there are no bad ones out there) but lately i have just been seeing ones that I really enjoy. This was one of them and it's one that the whole family can go out to see!

So my rating, (I have to do ratings now... you know since I went to film school and all that qualifies me to be a movie critic :) I give this movie a 9 out of 10. Thanks for bringing the Marvel Franchise back after creating the horrible disaster that was Ghost Rider.
