Scott and Kristen Album

We just finished the first draft of Scott and Kristen's wedding album and wanted to share. To see a slideshow of their album design, click on this great photo that Steve took of the guys.

As you will see - they were a lot of fun. Please let us know what you think. We went over by 4 sides - we were supposed to fit it all in in 50 sides.

Day In The Life Coverage

Behind the Scenes
Cora's celebration was supposed to be on the Saturday before Easter but the weather people warned that rain showers would start on that Saturday. After a few tense moments, Cora's mom decided to move the party to Friday (being the holiday Good Friday, many of the guests were easily able to make the change). We were already booked that Friday morning for an engagement session so you might see a little break in the coverage where Kim ran from north of 635 to the Dallas Arboretum for that session. By the end of the party, I was ready to lay down and take a nap with Cora!

High School Seniors Carpe Vita Style

We love photographing high school seniors! Working with them to really show off who they are and how they want to be seen by the world is always an inspirational challenge. This photo of Melissa links to an album slideshow to see some of the seniors we have had the pleasure to work with lately.

NACE Leadership Conference 2006

Back in January, we had the great pleasure to photograph the National Associations Catering Executive Leadership Conference held in Dallas at the Adolphus Hotel. We learned first hand that catering execs do it better and boy, do they know how to party.

The above photo is of the Dallas NACE Chapter, who were responsible for producing and coordinating an incredible event. They showed just a taste of the style Dallas NACE members are capable of.

The Manning Album 1st Draft

This was a sweet, very intimate wedding Steve photographed last August. Everyone got busy and the couple just let us know which photos they would like to use in a 5x7 album. To see the album in a slideshow, click on the photo. Any comments are appreciated.

A New Day

Happy Valentine's Day 2006!
This is the first entry for our blog. As photographers, many clients and people we have met have said "I can't imagine all the things you have seen" and we have responded, "we could write a book". But if you don't start, it will never get done and even our memory begins to fade. So this is for ourselves as well as clients (who always seem to turn into friends) and our loved ones.

Day One, Where to start?

Marc and Rhonda
I'm thinking of Marc Leediker and Rhonda Andrus who will be getting married this coming Saturday. Marc proposed to Rhonda a year ago today in San Francisco - what a great place to spend Valentines! As Marc and Rhonda shared with us when we first met them, "the Forces of the Universe were involved because Rhonda was not coming back to Dallas until she got a verbal"...

Marc followed thru and Saturday February the 18th, Marc and Rhonda will be married at Perkins Chapel on the SMU campus. Check back Sunday for a few photos showing their celebration.

Friends and family of Marc and Rhonda, if you would like to pre-register to see their wedding photos, go to www.Pictage.com, register your email address and assign yourself a password. You'll need to search for the Leediker-Andrus Wedding and indicate that you want to be contacted with the photos are made available. Then when Marc and Rhonda return from their honeymoon (in romantic San Francisco) and release the photos, a email will be sent to you for you to return and enjoy their event all over again.

We tried to get them to consider an engagement session including both bass fishing and a jaunt on the motorcycle but their schedules were too packed in the last few weeks to fit it in. But maybe one day soon, when things are a little prettier again.
