It started with beers at McNellies, and it ended with a portable generator and some fake snow at Skelly Lodge. Throw in a Christmas tree, some lights, a few freaked out deer, and call it a wrap.
Basically, they’re an awesome couple, and the session was an absolute blast to shoot. Sincere thanks to Skelly Lodge for allowing us use of the property after hours. We’ll all meet up again there soon for the wedding. Cant wait!

To say that I sometimes get behind in blogging is like saying that I wouldn’t tackle an elderly person carrying a box of Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies.
(Which, of course, I wouldn’t. Maybe. Ish.)
The wedding of Meagan and Seann took place in St. Charles, Missouri in 2010. This would be the same couple that I’d spent a day in New Orleans with prior to their wedding for their engagement session. (If either of you read this, please tell me you remember the angry drunk guy that thought I insulted the weight of the mannequin he was hanging out with. That was awesome.) That engagement session can be found here.
Their day was absolutely beautiful from start to finish. After the ceremony, we hopped a party bus, accidentally found ourselves at a local bar (oops), broke out some fake moustaches, and a great time was had by all.
One of my all time favorite couples.
Sincere thanks to Tiffany of Avant Images for shooting this wedding with me.

I’m distracted before I even start writing this blog.
Yes. More distracted than normal, thank you.
I’ve got the windows in the office open, and I’m alternating between smelling french fries from the restaurant next door and cinnamon rolls from the bakery downstairs. I swear I’m going to end up on a Maury episode getting hoisted out of my office by a crane. With no disrespect meant to any of you that’s actually been hoisted out of your houses/offices/McDonald’s by cranes, of course.
Where was I? Ah, yes.
Amanda and Trey were married a few months ago at the First Methodist Church in downtown Tulsa. We all hung out earlier in the day at The Mayo Hotel for preparation purposes (and riding elevators. A LOT.), then ended the evening dancing the night away at the Oklahoma Jazz Hall of Fame. The entire day was beautiful, bride was stunning, and we managed to beat the rain that evening to the reception.
On a side note the band at the reception, The Jumpshots, were absolutely awesome. Totally worth checking out if you’re looking for a band for your event.
Sincere and special thanks to incredibly talented Jessica Edwards for shooting this wedding with me. You rock.
(ps, My friendship bracelet fell off. I’m not sure what this means. I need another one.)

Jamie saved me from an elderly woman once.
It would be awesome if I followed that with the actual story, wouldn’t it?
I’ll instead say that getting to hang out for two separate and completely fun sessions with a friend/photographer/wingman/bouncer is an awesome thing. (Jamie’s bridal session here.)
Jamie and Rob were married at the Destin Bay House in Destin, Florida. She also had one of the prettiest bouquets I’ve ever seen, courtesy of Brittney Wortman at Our Greenhouse, LLC ( 850-543-3131).
The day turned out beautifully, with everything from a surprise visit from a dragonfly, to a rainbow, to a completely successful dirty thoughts routine. High-five, Jamie.
Ending this blog with a long exposure shot of the venue at night.
Loved this wedding.

I honestly can’t tell you how this entire shoot came about.
I remember driving to Bozeman, Montana to hang out with Jeremiah Spray, then onward to Missoula go shoot some people in love and their goats, too. ( No really. Click here.)
Something about pulling up to his house, running in slow motion towards each other, doves flying up in between us, going for a slow-mo chest bump, completely missing each other, and then falling over.
Or maybe I just made that up.
Either way, we hung out, found some people in love, and shot them. Or Jeremiah shot them rather, while I shot Jeremiah and basically did a whole lot of not much while watching him work. You can see his blog on them here.
Have I mentioned he’s an incredible photographer? Not in that, this person is another photographer that’s a friend of mine so I’m going to be nice and pat them on the head and say nice things about them..kinda way.
More the….this guy freaks me out with how good he is and watching him work is kinda depressing sometimes and inspiring at the same time…kinda way. So yeah, I like working with him.
Heather and Kevin (and Jeremiah) we’re kind enough to let me tag along during their engagement shoot last year in Bozeman, MT. And for those of you that haven’t been to Bozeman, go. But not if you’re in a hurry. In fact, don’t do anything in Montana if you’re in a hurry. You’ll get a lot of weird looks and you’ll miss it completely. Go to Bozeman, sit in the middle of downtown in a coffee shop, then pop next door and grab a burger and beer, then stroll down to the music store and pick up a banjo if you’re inclined to, then hike up the huge mountain outside of town.
But wait at least an hour after the burger and beer. (Trust me.)
Random shots I wanted to share of a seriously fun couple, on a really great trip.
