Vegas Mini Session :: Jessie & Tommy

Zero.

That's the number of things Jessie & Tommy take very seriously . :D



Her first trip to Vegas EVER and after being there 20 minutes, we jumped right into a shoot together. :)
Meet Tommy and Jessie. Some of the nicest peeps you'll ever see grace my blog. Jessie is a photographer and wanted a special treat for her first trip out to Vegas. We talked and they decided we should fly "The Sauce" out as well and shoot right there. I literally flew in and out within 3 hours. How cool is that!? Hope you won big guys.

(Special internetz points for those that can identify what hotel we're at.)


Anyone else want a mini session? Call me!!

Happy Tuesday!

Houston Wedding Photographer :: Rebekah & Brad

If you're a current client and we have a session planned soon, please please PLEASE consider this session for inspiration. HOLY WOW. THIS session is bananas. Absolute BANANAS!!! Wardrobe, location, theme... I loved it ALL.


Houston TEXAS


Your truly took a flight once again to the Big state of Texas to shoot another engagement session for this FAB couple. Rebekah and Brad walked out of a J-Crew catalog and somehow landed in front of my camera. This is just too easy. If that wasn't enough, every cloud in Texas decide not to come to the sky that day giving me the most EPIC sunset lighting to work with. We had 8 cylinders....... we banged on all of them.

Our session went down in Houston, but more specifically in a place called "Sugarland". Lots of culture, greenery and life. This location fit the couple hand in glove. Gawwwh!! I just can't say enough. I'll be back real soon to document the wedding! The Wedding will go down at this really sweet looking venue called Las Velas in Houston. Photographers playground. Thank you for having me guys. I think we did alright here. :)

MRS. HASSAS!!!!! AKA Mrs. DARCY

My wife Monica is amazing. When I'm at a wedding and a groom is giving his vows
I think about my wife Monica. I get teary eye EVERY SINGLE TIME. I love love love her. BABE, you're my partner in crime. No one believes in me more then you do. FACT!!! (and I don't tell you that enough sweetheart. **sniff sniff*).

Why am I talking about her? Monica my wife has an alias. That alias is Mrs. Darcy. Jane Austin fans will get the reference. The beautiful hair accessories worn by Rebekah, (green & champagne headbands ) here were HANDMADE and created with love by Moni. She has an Etsy store that is robust all things pretty. She LOVES doing this. We have no need at all financially for her to do this and it is purely out of passion for her. She gets this cute sparkle and glow when she see's someone at our church or a friend who is wearing something she made.In my 250 posts to this blog I've yet to mention her little endeavor here. I'm just proud of her and decided to break silence. Go see her stuff and fill her page with comments about how awesome she is.......... for me? :)

I love you Hon.


Did I just blog 2 session in one morning!? I did. I did

:D

Happy Thursday folks!


LOVE these two shots. The angel. The stud.




Real men hold red balloons.

I could hardly pick a fav in this set but if I absolutely had to........THIS. A fresh young couple TOTALLY in love ready to take on the world. Go get em' Rebekah and Brad.

East Bay Wedding Photographer :: Genesista & Vicente

The officiant affectionately referred to the groom as monkey......


The officiant is also his new Father-in-Law....


:)


Enter Genista & Vicente. Shot for these guys some months for there e-session. Have a look here. Lots of love and a rowdy group of friends always makes for some good picture taking.

Genista father is a minster and filled the roll of F.O.B. as well as officiant. Did a great job and had the place in stitches when it was all said and done.
Note to all the men out there. If the girl you're going to marry that has a father that is comfortable with a microphone in his hand and equally as comfortable slicing you to bits in front of everyone you've ever known, you might want to save some bribery money before hand to keep your secrets locked away. You've been warned....You just had to be there. Pretty hilarious.

Congrats on the marriage guys. Hope life brings you Infinite amounts of joy in the coming years.

Happy Thursday!!!

~Sam
