Christmas and Holiday Cards for 2008!

We've had lots of interest in holidays cards for this Christmas and New Year's so we've finally got our act together and put up a gallery of available cards! If you're interested in cards this year, we'd be delighted to help. We only have two or three session available which will allow you to have cards back in time to mail out before the holidays, so if you haven't already had your photo session with us, time is a-ticking. =)

Keep in mind that we can change the text to say whatever you'd like and we can change most anything on these cards if need be. Also, the watermark won't appear on your finished cards like it does on the gallery samples, too.

Here's a link: Christmas Card gallery for 2008.

Keep in mind that it can take up to 2 weeks to get your order back, so now's the time to order. If your session has already expired, but you're interested in ordering cards from a session earlier this year, just let us know and we'll get it back online for you to order from. =)

You know what, I was going to post one or two of our favorites here, but let me save you a step and just post our sample cards here.


















If you have any questions or comments, we'd love to hear from you!

Dilbert

I love Dilbert comics. Most of the time they're funny and I just read them through and move on to the next one, but this morning at breakfast I read this one and it made me chuckle out loud, so I thought I'd share it.

I think the Dilbert kind of humor has grown over the past few years with The Office TV show doing so well. Is it just me, or do they seem very similar in humor style?

It's going to be a very busy weekend! Time to retouch a few more photos before heading out to the wedding for today. Hope to post some faves for you soon...

Wedding Bloopers Galore!

This is too funny! Wedding parties ask me all the time, what is the most crazy thing I have ever seen at a wedding. Well... here it is.

Okay, to be honest I wasn't there, but that has to be near the top of the list of crazy things to happen at a wedding, wouldn't you say?

Do you have a story of some crazy thing that's happened at a wedding? Feel free to share! =)

Blogging: Feast and Famine

In case you haven't noticed, when things get really busy it's easy for us to skip blogging for several weeks on end. We don't forget the blog, it just gets prioritized behind other important things like sleeping, eating and working. =) We've had a few days of blogging every day now and I've read about many others who blog every day no matter what. They make it a priority.

So I'd like your feedback! How often is right? I think once every couple of weeks is definitely not enough, but is once a day too much? And I'm not talking about from a work point of view, but from an interested reader's point of view. We'd like to hear from you on the subject of how often you'd like to hear from us! =)

So, leave us a comment or drop us an email while you're thinking of it and let us know what you think. We'd be grateful!

And while I have you, I won't leave you without one of our recent images to look at. Here's one from Chris & Brandy's wedding in Texas a few weekends ago. Okay, I can't decide on just one.... Here are four. =)





I just loved the emotion of the last image of Chris dancing with his mother.

Thanks for checking in and we wish you a wonderful weekend! Should be a busy one for us... More on that later!

New Proposal Gallery is Now Online

Inspired by our most recent proposal session with Brandon and Tori, we finally got our proposal gallery online. You can view it by visiting our website and clicking on the "weddings & more" link and finally the "Proposals" gallery. I think we blogged about the four proposals featured on the gallery, but it's been a while so if you've seen them before you may enjoy them once again.


Let us know what you think! We'd love to hear from you.

Website Downtime

Our web host (Westhost) has been having trouble today (again!) and as a result, our site was down for at least 45 minutes earlier today. Sorry for any inconvenience!

Tori & Brandon's Proposal & Engagement Session

Here are some favorites from our most recent proposal session. Up to now, we've been hiding for these kinds of proposal sessions, but since Tori set up the session, Brandon was totally able to catch her off guard when he dropped to one knee and held out a diamond ring. I love it!

We started out just cruising around Bricktown, chasing the good light and finding cool locations to shoot...











Here's where things really got fun... We'd all but wrapped up the session when Brandon said we had a few more shots that needed to be taken over here...









Fun times, guys! Thanks so much for being so great to work with! I really enjoyed getting to know you and I'm looking forward to photographing your wedding next October!!

I'd post more commentary, but it's dinner time and I know you're just here to see the photos anyway. =)

If you know Tori & Brandon, check out their entire online gallery here!

Chelsea & Craig's Wedding at Coles Garden, OKC

Just wanted to share some of our favorites from our most recently posted wedding - Craig & Chelsea's!

Craig & Chelsea had us there to photograph their romantic rehearsal dinner lakeside at Pearls/Lakeside Fish Grill right on Lake Hefner and afterwords had reserved the outdoor pavilion for drinks and mingling while enjoying the live band. It was the perfect evening to enjoy the outdoors, and the spectacular sunset.

The next day started with the guys hanging out at Craig's very cool garage to work on his sweet getaway ride. Here he is doing the finishing touches to make the hand-painted "Just Married" lettering perfect.

Nice custom gear shifter. =)

I loved this one of the flower girl passing by, dropping rose petals. And isn't that a cool dress?

The Oklahoma wind always makes for some fun times with long veils

Fast forward a few hours of reception and the car is ready for the getaway! I heard that many hours and many cans of Red Bull went into restoring this black beauty. Fitting that they used Red Bull cans to tie to the back. =)









Congratulations, Craig & Chelsea! It was really a delight to help you with your engagement and wedding photography! Thanks for being so much fun to work and hang out with!!

Session Available Tonight!

Wow, what a wonderful Monday!! Okay, it's absolutely perfect weather and today was one of my reserved rain dates, so I don't have anything booked! Does anyone need a family session? this is probably our last available October date (besides 2 other rain dates that can't be booked ahead).

Let us know ASAP and we'll get it planned! (Call us at 405/623.7381) I know it's short notice, but there may be others like us who do better with spontaneous planning. =)

If not, I may be able to get out and play a round of disc golf or something to take a little break from editing.

Oh, and here's my favorite from the wedding posted this weekend. I have about 2 dozen other faves to post too, so stay tuned...


Hope you have a great day!
