FINALLY!!

I have been anxiously awaiting this moment... The moment when I can unleash the beauty of bride Brandi (via blog). So here she is folks! Workin' it like nobody's business.

oooo and I'll be posting some goodies from the wedding, too. so come back soon.

Arthur and Brandi's Rehearsal

I think this wedding is going to blow many peeps away. Why, you ask? Well, because Miss Brandi Fallin (almost Natividad) has created basically EVERYTHING that holds this whole wedding together. I mean, I've seen people get all crafty and throw together some programs or something, but this girl went above and beyond anyone I've ever seen! Check out her stuff at Bell Creation.

Here are a couple photos from the rehearsal tonight. Talk about a fun group of folks.



talking about a mystique tan mishap :)

Logan and Shanna - the wedding!

These two lovebirds sure have an exciting life ahead of them. Logan is in the Air Force and they are headed to England to LIVE there at the end of the month. How cool is that? They are so in love, and if you could have seen Shanna jump up and down on stage during their wedding, you would know what I'm talking about.

Anyhow, it was a fun day, and special too because the reception was at Spirit Ranch... Which is where Jordan and I got married almost ONE YEAR ago! So I had fun reminiscing :) AND a dear friend of mine, Lindi, was my trusty second shooter. All of these wonderful things all wrapped up into one day!



















thanks lin :)

Logan and Shanna - the rehearsal

I'm about to post photos from Logan and Shanna's wedding, but I just thought the story wouldn't be complete without these rehearsal photos. Everyone loves rehearsal's, right?

Here they are. Barbie and Ken.

baby E

Everyone, meet Elijah. You will be seeing more and more of this fella because I am officially his Monday morning baby sitter... hooray! And that means lots of pictures. Sooo here are the first of many.
I work with Elijah's mom at good ol Starbucks. Christa is a passionate, loving fireball and her husband Ryan owns TG Trees. He and Jordan are finding out they might be soul mates because they both love Call of Duty 4... Boys will be boys!
Here is the cuteness of baby e. And his onesie that says "best thing since sliced bread." This is a phrase Jordan uses ALL the time, so I might have to go buy one
for our future kiddo... Is that weird? Maybe I'll give it to him for father's day and freak him out :)





best buds






and of course, a precious moment with mom.. i love how he's holding her finger.

Leslie and Clay

When Leslie asked if I could take photos at her wedding, I was ecstatic! Here's the catch though... I took photos at everything BUT her wedding... I know that sounds a bit odd, but dang it was fun. I had the privilege of capturing everything at her Bridal Luncheon, the rehearsal, the crazy fun rehearsal dinner, and the morning of the wedding. And yes, we made sure her wedding photographer was okay with our little plan :)

I met Leslie in high school and Clay is actually from Jordan's hometown, so it was fun to see a bunch of random friends throughout the festivities. Us Midland girls are really drawn to those Clovis boys for some reason.

Anyhow, enjoy the photos! These peeps know how to get down.

yes, this is how the ring bearer came down the isle... adorable.

walkin down memory lane

A couple days ago, I got a call from a friend who had a simple request. Well, one of her coworkers was in need of a last minute photo session before her son moved to San Antonio for a new job and her daughter went back to Dallas for summer school. Let's just say that the more time I spent with them, the more precious this whole situation got!

So, 15 years ago, these kiddos had their picture taken by Ken Porter at the same park, and their adorable mom wanted to capture the same moment. She was so cute with her props and old photos, just to make everything the exact same. After we attempted to relive that peaceful moment by the "lake," we just had some fun. The best part about it is that these photos are going to be a father's day present... how sweet is that.

Anyhow, now you have the background, so enjoy!













this is the attempted 'redo'. note grandad's fishing pole and the old books. adorable.
