Since I missed Black and White Thursday this week; I thought I'd throw out a few of my favorite colors from a recent wedding. Girl can spin a dress!

another post in black and white thursday. after last week, i received a few encouraging letters, and tweets from friends. my explanation behind these posts is #1, i barely have time to make a full wedding post right now, and #2, i see the world in black and white. don't get me wrong, i LOVE color. absolutely love. its vibrant, striking, and just appealing overall. but there is magic to black and white. either its being able to see faint of light on tiffany's face, or just enough light to provide detail to her gorgeous dress.

As you can see, these kids are absolutely adorable. Kelly is an awesome woman + Ron is one of the funniest guys I know on twitter..no really, he is. Onto the photos.

i love black and white.

to all those who work their ass off. go have a drink. relax. enjoy yourself. and throw confetti.*taken in mexico :)

in mexico, sh** like this happens.

lead the way.

into the night.

GET it girl.

sometimes in the business we have an opportunity to give back. on a recent trip to new orleans i joined a group of very talented of photographer to do just that. these couples all were devastated by the destruction of Hurricane Katrina and their wedding albums were destroyed. we helped get those wedding memories a little closer to their hearts. ABC News picked up the story here. Here are some of my favorites from the weekend.

meeting kate and steven was far from coincendence. no doubt it was fate. steven and i actually worked together on a little short with the talented Ryan Booth. Steven was playing the "villian" and myself the FBI agent; running around in a hot building in the middle of summer with a bullet proof vest on. fun and sweaty, ha. steven nor i knew this until our first meeting; realizing "oh yah, we ran around a building playing good guy vs bad guy."

taken at the cinnamon shore in port aransas, texas. cashen and justin, i love you both.

Junebug runs a contest every year for "The Best of the Best" wedding photos throughout the industry worldwide. This year is the first I've had the guts to enter; and honestly in my head I had 0% chance to be chosen. But it was nice to browse through images over the past year, pulling my favorites; and how I've grown creatively was interesting to see!Well, last week I received an email that my image of Cashen and Justin below was chosen as an Honorable Mention outside of the Top 50. Which means the image made it to the final round..which is..ridiculous. I think the girls over there are obviously talented, and have incredible taste if you look through the chosen Top 50 here.I'm absolutely humbled to be included with so many incredible images, by some UNBELIEVABLY talented artist. You can check out all the Honorable Mentions here. Once again, THANK YOU JUNEBUG!
