Jennifer and Blake eloped earlier this year. They contacted me recently and wanted to have some engagement-style portraits done. I was happy to do it and after meeting them I was glad I did. They were great to hang out with, both full of energy and just plain lots of fun!

Reception: Tenroc Ranch

I first met Jessica and her wonderful family two years ago when her sister Andrea got married and we had the honor of being her photographer. Jessica teaches in College Station and has a real bubbly personality that is contagious to everyone around her. I found out the church Jessica got married in was the same church all her sisters got married, as well as her parents and grand parents, which I thought was pretty cool. Thanks again Jessica and Ryan for having me, congratulations guys!
Ceremony and Reception: Four Seasons Great Exuma at Emerald Bay
Sheila and Dan had their beautiful international destination wedding in the Great Exuma Bahamas. Sheila and Dan live in Manhattan and most of their family and friends traveled from NY, Philly or Chicago to celebrate with them. Not only were Sheila and Dan a pleasure to be with, their family and friends were just as wonderful and really made me feel like I am a part of the group. Congratulations guys, thanks for allowing me to share your day!
John Prutch, or JP as we call him, together with Amy are the heart and soul behind AJ’s Studio. JP was recently interviewed by WedPix for a great article on creative wedding portraiture. JP offers his insightful tips on how to interact with couples to create beautiful portraits. The article also features insights from another friend Sergio Lopez, and the equally talented Quin Cheung from DQ Studios.
Although the article was intended for photographers, if you are reading this as a bride or groom, you may still find the article to be helpful as you prepare for you upcoming photography sessions. WedPix is a monthly online publication and a great resource on wedding photography for both couples and photographers.
I also want to give a quick shout out to Evrim Icoz for the great write up as the featured WedPix photographer this month. Congrats Evrim!

One of the best part about being a member of the WPJA is the quarterly contests. The highly competitive contests are great for me because they help push me as an artist at every wedding to find and create that special image both for myself and for my clients.
Here’s an image from the latest contest that caught the eyes of the judges:
