I just wanted to post a quick sneak peek at the wedding I shot this past weekend with Heather…I had such a great time at the wedding and the bride was not only gorgeous but she was a complete sweetheart!  More to come from this wedding, but here are just a few of my faves…

Their ceremony (at the Walnut Creek Country Club) was outdoors on the golf course and kicked off right at sunset…so I had some crazy beautiful light to work with. I love shooting at this hour, that golden light is to die for!

So here is Saima and Imran’s 4th installment in their wedding series! The nikah ceremony. This event took place at the beautiful Fairmont Dallas, on their terrace level, overlooking downtown Dallas, TX! It was a beautiful overcast day and Saima and Imran looked stunning as ever. This was the actual wedding ceremony where they made it “official”. There was so much emotion, and so much joy involved in this ceremony it truly brought a tear to my eye. Here are some of my faves from the day…and make sure you get to the end, I posted a slideshow this time!

Last weekend I had an awesome family session with the coolest couple and their ridiculously cute daughter! You might recognize Miss N from an earlier session I did with her and her cousin in the spring, and I think she just got like 10x cuter since then!  Our original plan was to go out to this park in Richardson with a beautiful waterfall, but when I got there it was under construction….boo (and I just didn’t think orange construction tape would too great in family portraits).  Well, we decided to try a nearby park that I had seen on the way, and I have to say I think it worked out sooooo much better!  We had a great time walking the nature trails and just letting Miss N have a good time.  We got started early and the weather was a gorgeous 75°!!  I will definitely be going back to this park….you just can’t beat shaded trails in this TX heat.

So here are just a few of my favorites from this session (it was so hard to narrow it down, there were so many good ones!)…

DSC_7283I absolutely love this shot…everything about it.  It has to be like in the top ten of my favorite kid pictures.  Oh and just so you know I have been on this moody b&w kick lately…I am really digging this black and white, almost reminds me of film.

I love her look here…like she’s checking back to see if mom and dad are watching while she climbs over this fence!
