“Pampa Wedding”

Posted on January 26, 2009

We just got back last night from photographing a wedding in Pampa Texas.  Beautiful couple, beautiful bride and beautiful ceremony!  We had a great time.  The reception was a blast with most of the wedding party taking advantage of the dance floor; which makes for some fun photography.  The Bride and Groom, Karen and David, should be living it up on the beach right about now and we wish them the best.  I have already started processing their photos and we should have their gallery ready in a few weeks.  Have fun guys!

“Trace and D’nissa”

Posted on January 24, 2009

Just wanted to post an image from earlier this summer.  This wedding took place at the Maison Dupey hotel in the New Orlean’s french quarter.  It was a very nice hotel with a great courtyard.  Perfect for the ceremony.  Besides it being a little warm out, everything was perfect.  D’nissa was a beautiful bride and they were a very fun couple to work with.  We were down there for a couple of days and had plenty of time to take in the city.  I am providing a link to our wedding photography page if anyone would like more information about us or our wedding photography packages.

“Battle of the Badges”

Posted on January 21, 2009

I have decided that I am going to write a few posts and provide links to a some previous shoots over the last year or so that are not otherwise displayed on the website.  Photography is a passion of mine and I have taken tons of photos over the years.  Many of these images do not fit into the portrait or wedding photography categories of the website, but are great shots none the less.  I am starting with a link to a gallery for Amarillo’s Battle of the Badges.  It is a charity event to benefit the the 100 club of Amarillo.  This charity assists families of firefighters and police men and women who are killed or injured in the line of duty.  Being that I work for the Amarillo Fire Dept. it is charity that I feel is definitely worthy of support.  The Battle of the Badges bids firefighters against police in a series of boxing matches.  It is a great time and has the feel of a big league boxing event.  For those that have attended in the past, I will not need to convince you go again this next year.  For those who have not been before; you need to go!  It is a great time for a great charity.  I do not believe a date has been set for next year, but I expect it will be sometime next fall.  There should be some radio ads and posters around town to give you a heads up.  I am providing a link to a gallery containing the photos from the last event this past October.  Enjoy!

“Woman of the Year”

Posted on January 20, 2009

This last week I did some photography at the annual Globe News “Amarillo Man and Woman of the Year” luncheon at the Amarillo Civic Center.  Their was a large crowd on hand and what looked like some pretty good “eats”.  Unfortuneatly I was busy playing photographer and did not have the oppurtunity to eat.  I have to admit that the group from the globe news was very nice and I was asked several times if I would like to sit down and enjoy some of the food,  but I chose to stay focused on getting set up for a few shots.  I was shooting for Amarillo Uptown Magazine, however I am not sure what their plans are for the photos.  Whether for print or web; either way, I ended up with several nice photos.  The photo here is of Diann Gilmore, the Amarillo Woman of the Year.

“MS Bridal Show”

Posted on January 14, 2009

Well, the big show came to Amarillo this last Sunday.  Unfortunately we were not able to get things together in time to have a booth this year, but I was there.  I was shooting for Amarillo Uptown Magazine.  I believe some of the shots are going to featured in the “get out” section of their next issue.  There were a ton of brides and all kinds of wedding vendors.  Which really made me regret not getting my act together in time for the show.  But I did have a good time and got to meet some new people.

“Vino”
