Taylor & Christie Engagement

Thursday, January 15th, 2009

I met Taylor a few months back down in Waco when Sleeperstar was playing a show on Baylor campus. Taylor is a kick butt photographer and as he was taking some shots of us, and seeing his camera, I naturally starting talking cameras and photography with him. He called me a few weeks later and honored me by asking me to photograph him and his future bride, Christie’s, wedding! These two are super fun and we had a blast doing the engagement session, and the two handled the wind and cold like CHAMPS!! I can’t wait to tell their entire wedding story! Did I mention that Taylor is a totally kick butt photographer ….www.taylormccabephoto.com, go check his stuff out!! NOW!

Ok..I know that I keep saying I’m going to limit these posts to 10 images…but what fun is that really?! Narrowing down to 20 was the best I could do.

@The Libertine

Monday, January 12th, 2009

My girlfriend, Laurie, and I met up with Matt & Lauren Larsen and Andrew Shepherd the other night at the Libertine to celebrate Matt’s newly inked arm. They are all such wonderful people and I’m very blessed to know them all. Matt’s tattoo says “Life”, which has a slew of meanings but the most obvious is that it’s his daughters name, and she is so entirely fitting of the name. If you want to know more I highly reccommend reading the posts from this summer here, it might possibly change your life. It was also fun to just take some photos that didn’t have any client attached to them…I almost forgot what that was like. [and the pink thing on Matt's arm is not a arm band, it's plastic wrap around his tattoo, just fyi. And Laurie, I'm sorry I didn't get any photos of you...you were sitting in the dark, there was nothing I can do. You're pretty.] In conclusion: Fun times had by all.
