Emma set up some awesome models, Tyler & Rachel. How awesome are they, right!!?! Make sure to go check out http://www.emmadimeknitted.com, Emma is the coolest ever!! Enjoy.

All I can say is that Carmen knocked her bridals out of the park. She’s such a fantastically unique person and her bridals were no less than that. First, her dress is probably one of the coolest dresses I’ve ever seen. Second, we shot her bridals at her parent’s farm south of Fort Worth, TX called Mainstay Farms. She grew up working there and it has tons of meaning to her and her family. It was awesome, I could’ve shot out there for 10 hours straight and still not covered the whole place. Enjoy.

Denver & Kristin // Florida Beach Wedding

This particular wedding is really special to me because Denver and Kristin are Sleeperstar’s tour managers. They mean a great deal to us and I love them dearly. Denver is from Florida and they wanted to have a small, intimate beach ceremony with only family… and the Sleeperstar boys. And, of course, we were the wedding band. This was a first for me, my two jobs colliding, I played wedding photographer and drummer simultaneously. Enjoy these two lovebirds.

Bilal & Sheila // Dallas Pakistani Wedding

Shaun Menary — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 16:00:25 +0000

Shooting Sheila & Bilal’s Pakistani wedding was definitely a great experience for me. It was so wonderful to step out of my norm and experience the wedding traditions of another culture. Their wedding consisted of countless gatherings and celebrations, of which I photographed three major ones. First was the Engagement Ceremony, Mangni, about 4 months before the wedding to formally mark the engagement of the couple and exchange the rings. Next was the Henna Party, Mayoun, the day before the wedding. And finally was the actual wedding day, Shaadi. It was amazing… and kind of a photo marathon, but it was a blast. Sorry there are so many images in this post, but it’s only a fraction of the total amount, ha. Enjoy. And thanks to my buddy Andrew Shepherd for 2nd shooting with me on the wedding day. Make sure to check out his work here.
