Tarin+Vince: Engagement Photographer

Tarin and Vince were a pleasure to photograph!  Although Tarin admitted her last formal portrait was probably for school pictures, she is a dancer and movement in front of the camera was no problem at all!  (I love photographing dancers)  ;)

There was an obvious chemistry between these two, and that made the session even more amazing to capture.  (My job really is awesome.)

Tarin asked for an "industrial" location, so we headed to the third ward for some texture and contrast.  I'm really glad she requested this, because it's something I have been wanting to do for a while now.  I just think there is something so striking about putting people in new and unexpected destinations.

So sweet :)

I love the colors here-

Such a pretty couple!

Partners for life :)

Mitch & Oscar: Wedding Photographer

Mitch and Oscar were probably the easiest going couple I could have asked for!  They were so laid back and just completely trusted me to capture their day.

After flying to the NE to officially get married, Mitch and Oscar came back home to Houston to celebrate with their friends and family.  There was a blessing of the rings, cocktails, dinner, cake, and the liveliest dance floor I may have ever seen!  (That's always a perk for me)  :)

Everything was absolutely perfect and completely lovely in the old Italian mansion (and Mitch even surprised Oscar with Mariachis!)

Oscar hand-painted mini-canvases for each guest!

Mitch couldn't say "no" when she asked to be flower girl :)

completely mouth-watering...

Mariachis!

Monique and Adrian: Dallas Engagement Photographer

Monique and Adrian are a couple that photographers dream of!  Monique says she did some modeling "back in her pageant days," and Adrian says he's not done anything professional, but man... these two knew how to work the camera!

We met in Dallas (the biggest city between Oklahoma City and Houston) and walked around downtown to get some amazing shots!  Although Mo and Adrian didn't get into town until after 5am (they stayed at a hotel over "night"), both of them were ready and looking clean!  Again, I love that they chose to coordinate and not match.

Mo was beyond prepared and brought with a look-book of images she wanted to duplicate (helpful to me, so I knew exactly what she was going for).  I hope you enjoy these images as much as I enjoyed taking and editing them!

We had some fun in their OU gear

You can only get images like this when you improv!
