My wife and I have been married for 10 years today!

As with any couple, we’ve fought, we’ve had our ups and downs (way more ups than downs), but I wouldn’t have it any other way.

I’m so glad that I went to that Halloween Party, where we met.  (She was Snow White, if you’re wondering)

From garage, to Casa del Sweet, to Singapore and back to the OC, then on to Houston….we’ve done it TOGETHER!

You are my friend, my confidant, my lover, the mother of our children, but most importantly, my wife….I love you!  

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!

Loo lost her second tooth on Thursday….so of course we had to get some pictures.

Then she got a little crazy!

I can’t post one without posting the other.

About a month ago there were some strange clouds over Houston….strange only because I’d never seen them before.

They are Mammatus Clouds.  Have you ever seen any clouds like this before?

I gave y’all a sneak peek of these and now it’s the time for the real thing.

Caitlin & Greg got a hold of the studio and wanted to do an “anytime” shoot.  They’ve been dating for 2 years and want to celebrate their love in pictures.

Chip gives me a call and basically says….”Hey, we’re shooting this couple out in Fulshear and they’re bringing a couch….you wanna come out?”

Dude, you had me at “Hello!” (or was it “Hey”)

Anyway, I was sporting my new 40D and Craig was rocking a D3 that he borrowed from Danny….(that thing is awesome!)

If you’d like to see the shots that Craig & Chip got from the day, just click on their names.

Enough chit chat….here’s the shots that I got.

Here’s a look at a future post….

This past 4th is our second here in Texas and we spent it with some friends (thanks for having us, Kris & John).

the Wife made a delicious 4th of July themed cake.

I gave the pics a little retro look with the help of some Totally Rad Actions.

Hey there! It’s been a while. How are ya? I’m doing just fine, thanks….

OK, enough small talk, I know I’m behind on blog posts….I’m sorry. Forgive me?

Here’s what you have to look forward to:

5 weddings! I know, I’m behind….but these are coming (along with a few other cool posts), so please stay tuned!

Chip and I made the drive out to Austin to shoot Michele & Kevin’s wedding at Barton Creek.

Michele’s dress was so gorgeous.

Her bouquet was beautiful.

Chip and I were pretty stoked when Michele presented us with her shoes (insert angelic music here)….Jimmy Choo’s!

Kevin and his guys all wore multi-colored socks.  It was AWESOME!

Their ceremony was really beautiful.

Some “them” shots….Chip shot this one.

And I snapped this one.

Cake!

The Pictures were there to supply the musical entertainment and let me just say they were great!  If you’re looking for a  really good live band, look them up.

First dance

I really dig this ring shot that Chip got.  Click here to see the other shots that he got from the day.

Another signature bouquet shot.

Michele & Kevin, thank you so much for having studio563 at your wedding….I know Chip & I had a blast and we hope that you did too!

Sometimes you get lucky….when your flash doesn’t fire, but Chip’s does (thanks dude)!

This wedding was a whole lot of fun!  Once again Craig and I were teamed up to give this wedding the rockstar treatment (like only 563 can)!  Mandy from Every Little Detail Events had everything running smoothly and Chateau Polonez looked really great.

Craig got great portraits of Karla & David.  Click here to see Craig’s images from the day.

Karla’s beautiful shoes.

I grabbed these next couple of shots after their ceremony.

First dance from the 2nd level at Chateau Polonez.

If you follow my blog, you know I’m especially proud of my ring shots.  I couldn’t pick between these three….let me know which one you like.

During the reception, I ran outside and grabbed this shot of Chateau….one of my favorite venues here in Houston.

Karla & David, this was such a great day….thanks for letting us share it with you.

Rachel & James were married at New Life Fellowship, the church that they attend.

SHOES!

I really like this next shot….her dress was beautiful.

Their reception was at Maggiano’s….I went inside a little early to shoot some details.

While I was doing that, Craig was getting these great shots of Rachel & James.  Click here to see the rest of Craig’s images from the day.

This bouquet shot is actually in the elevator at Maggiano’s!

Congratulations, Rachel & James!  All the best to you both.
