Stefanie and Aaron had a terrific wedding the other night at Perkins Chapel at SMU in Highland Park. The girls started the day off at the Palomar Hotel in Dallas getting pampered and just having way to much fun. The wedding reception was held at CityPlace in Dallas and was a blast to shoot and I have really enjoyed my time with this great couple.

Well, I have been looking forward to this wedding. Lisa had schedule this wedding in a different location that sounded ok. Later she informed me that she would be moving her wedding to Alley McKay bed and breakfast in Jefferson Texas. I have never been to a B&B and that sounded good to me. The only downside was my wife did not get to come and enjoy the B&B with me. The wedding was great and the location was awesome and fit Lisa and Phil. Lisa and Phil are some of the most fun people I have had as clients and are just plain fun to be around. During Lisa bride maid toast she was describing just who lisa is, she said Lisa was basically a party in a box. That really sums up this couple!

The Durango Elf

My good friend Alberto Zambrano owner of The Durango Furniture Store asked me to do him up a little picture for his upcoming holiday promotional sale. We had so much fun doing this card and thought would be fun to share with you.

Merry Christmas!

The Harris Christmas card was a year in the making and instead of throwing the tree in the dump, I threw our Christmas tree in the back yard and to let it age a bit. Keeping a dead tree in the backyard for over a year did not go over well with the wife, sometimes she just doesn’t see my big vision. The tree in the backyard was simple, but convincing her to put on that garb and those rollers as people drove by gawking at us took a little bit more of me selling the big vision. FYI the big vision was to do a card based on two of my favorite Christmas movies and poke a little fun at the economy. Can you guess what are the two movies are?

One day my kids will look at this picture and the memories will come flooding back of what their goofy dad put them thru to get this shot. Creating memories for a lifetime is why photography is the greatest job ever! From my family to yours, have a great and blessed Holiday Season!

Well, just finished designing a save the date card for Kacey & Mike. Very excited about their upcoming ranch wedding. Soon, I will be posting some really fun e-session pics of our day trip down to Austin and New Braunfels.

Outside of my great love for photography is my other great passion is design. I plan to really ramp it up in 2010 and offer brides and other photographers something a bit more designed than what is out there.

Stay tuned to my design site launch coming soon.

TOP TEN TIPS FOR YOUR WEDDING DAY!

admin — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 17:13:10 +0000

This list comes from the the Weddingchicks.com Great info and I hope you find very helpful…

1. Choose if you will see each other before the ceremony for photos or wait until after the ceremony based on the time of year and the time the sun will set. Ask your photographer when the light will be the best for photos.

2. Get a nice hanger for your dress. Have shoes, rings (clean please), and bouquet ready for photos.

3. Be sure that the getting ready room has plenty of natural light, is tidy, and not too crowded with people.

4. If you have a corset style dress, allow 20 minutes for lacing.

5. Shoes, shoes, shoes!!! Every bride wants to wear beautiful shoes on her wedding, but oh, the price she pays in PAIN!! Bring a comfy pair of shoes to wear for your reception.

6. Inform family members and wedding party to stay close after the ceremony.

7. Serve salads BEFORE speeches. Speeches that run long make for wilting salads and put dinner behind schedule.

8. Serve your vendors as you are served so they can take a break and be back for all of the action! No one likes their picture taken while they are eating anyway, so it’s the perfect time.

9. Don’t hold you cake ransom! Cut and serve your cake about an hour after dinner. Guests tend to enjoy their cake and coffee. We are pretty sure that the sugar and caffeine give them a second wind!

10. Enjoy your day, don’t let the little things upset you. It’s a little late at this point to worry about things not being perfect, so just go with the flow and have fun!! Remember, this is about your WEDDING and the commitment you are making to each other – not about your napkins being the wrong color. It’s a day never to forget. Be humble, graceful, be grateful, and be a beautiful person on your special day.
