I met Sarah and Ben in Downtown Dallas last week for their Engagement session. They are totally in love and such a fun couple. I can’t wait for their wedding in May!

Alicia and Mickey are the type of people that go to Cambodia and Thailand for their honeymoon without planning where to stay before they get on a plane. In other words, FULLY awesome! I knew their wedding would be a lot of fun but I was a bit concerned because from the time I arrived it would be evening and completely dark. The lighting aesthetic that I lean towards most is natural / available light. I always appreciate a challenge and like to find out what happens when I get out of my comfort zone. In this case we got some killer dramatic / moody / romantic images that I am excited about sharing with you.
Thanks to Tonne at Creative Events for providing a cool place and great food.
DJ Connection brought the party!

A new year doesn’t really give us new opportunities or second chances, but it does give us a chance to reflect and make new goals that could potentially change everything. In that spirit, here are a few things that I am definitely looking forward to in 2009, and a few resolutions.

Things I’m looking forward to:
1. More dates with my fun and beautiful wife Sarah
2. Being a part of a lot of classy weddings in Texas and beyond
3. Meeting new people that will inspire and encourage me
4. The return of Lost and Battlestar Galactica (Yes, I’m a nerd)
5. Getting new sample albums and promo-packs that will blow your mind
6. Meeting new amazing photographers and developing closer relationships with those that follow my Twitter and blog

Resolutions:
1. Find a connection group through our church
2. Keep Start following our budget to pay off debt
3. Take more time for personal photography projects to inspire and and sharpen my mad skillz
4. Read more books. I spent part of Christmas break reading the first two books of the Twilight series. My brother in law says that it is Harry Potter for Girls, I’m secure in my masculinity so I’m ok with that. Taking that in consideration, I really want Bella to become a Vampire and live happily for eternity with Edward. I’m only on the 3rd book, so don’t ruin it for me!
5. Faster responses to all the emails.

2008 was a hard year for a lot of people, I am looking forward to 2009 and pray that God blesses you and we all have a great year!

Here’s to seeing a little Awesome everywhere you go.
