I couldn't sleep last night. This is unusual for me, so instead of tossing and turning, I got up and looked through every picture of each of the 39 weddings I shot this year. I picked out some of my favorites and thought I would share them here. Just click the picture below for the slideshow.

Enjoy!

I've been really busy this past week, out shooting families, seniors and engagement sessions. Here are a few favorites from this last weekend.

I'll be working with Renee and Jason again when they get married on December 29th. They are getting married at the incredible Vesica Pisces Chapel. If you are considering a place for your wedding, you have to check it out. It's absolutely gorgeous and Judy and her staff do a fantastic job taking care of their clients.

This is a small town. When Lori called me to do their family pictures, we discovered that her husband went to high school with my sister. Tulsa is a two degrees of separation size town.

My latest high school senior session was with Natalie. We started at Gilcrease museum, then went downtown to finish the session. I really like the way they turned out!





Here's a slideshow of some of my favorites from the day: Natalie's Slideshow

Elizabeth and Evan will be getting married at The Mayo Hotel in the spring and we met up to shoot their engagement pictures earlier this month.

TulsaPeople Weddings magazine contacted me about submitting some new photos for their upcoming issue and I asked if they had heard about Trash the Dress. Trash the Dress is a chance for newly married brides to do an unconventional bridal session after the wedding. Some photographers have taken it to the ugly extremes and have their subjects roll around in mud, or climb in dumpsters. To me, though, a trash the dress session is about making some unique, fun, high fashion photographs without worrying if the dress will get spoiled. TulsaPeople Weddings thought it a great idea!

Let's face it, unless you are going to sell the dress after the wedding, it won't ever get used again. You won't wear it, your daughter certainly won't wear it, so why not let loose, put it on one last time, and make some great pictures?

That's exactly what Kristen did, and she brought her husband Jerome along. I shot her wedding earlier this year, and when I called her to see if she would be interested in doing a Trash the Dress session, she really got excited. We started the session under a bridge at the river. Watch for some of these in the upcoming issue!





After shooting for while near the river, we went to play in a park




We finished the session downtown.















We had a great time! If you're interested in doing a Trash the Dress session, e/mail me and we can get it set up! Here's the full slideshow - Trash the Dress!

Leah and Don are getting married at the Will Rogers Theater in Oklahoma City in the spring. I can't wait to work with them again! We had fun shooting their engagement session, and they even told me I could bring my Holga!







More pictures are here!

I'll be shooting Casey and Jeff's wedding next year, and we met up earlier last month for their engagement pictures.














Their slideshow is here.

Ashley first contacted me to shoot her wedding, but I was already booked on her wedding day. Months later, she called me again to see if I could photograph her bridal session, and I jumped at the chance.
