Ah, yes, Fall. Time to put on your Sunday best and drive out to some remote location with a lady wearing so so much camera equipment. Thanks to my fall photo families for patiently hiking windy trails to find that perfect light. It's been a blast!
I mean, how cute are these two? I love weddings, but I especially love filming weddings when the groom is head-over-heels smitten with his bride. Nathan just could not get enough of Jenna, and it was adorable!!! Loved this wedding, loved this video (great editing by my groom), and loved the experience. We thought the unpredictable Oklahoma weather was going to prevent us from taking outdoor photos, but the skies cleared up for just enough time to get it done!
Thank you Jenna and Nathan for trusting us to capture your special memories, we loved being a part of your wedding day! I hope you cherish your wedding video for years to come!
I mean how did I forget to blog about this wedding!?! It was SO MUCH FUN! We had such a blast filming Lacey's sister's wedding (Brooke's wedding video) so we knew we were in for a good time this go around! I mean, you can just tell from watching what a fun group this is! And how special is the stuff with Jonathan and his son?!?? I die!
We ran into Lacey and Jonathan at Sidecar the other night, and they paid us one of the best compliments we have ever had. They said the day of their wedding, we were "everywhere, and nowhere." That is exactly what we try to do. Stay out of the way, blend into the background, and capture really great footage of your day.
Thank you again to Lacey, Johnathan, and the whole Rayburn family for trusting us to preserve your memories.
Did you know we offer video + photo services** for you big day?!? Well, neither did we! That is before these two. We had been talking about doing this for some time, but we had to find the right couple to take the leap. A big thank you goes out to Maredith and Guy for trusting us when we said we could do a good job. They took us at our word--not an easy task when it comes to your wedding.
But, I am so glad they did because we had the BEST BEST BEST time! Maredith and Guy, you have very fun, kind, welcoming, and generous friends/family. I couldn't help but smile as I looked through all these images today. There's just so much love there.
Best of luck to you two in all you do! I know you will have a long happy marriage filled with many blessings and much good fortune. Part 2 (video) to come soon. Stay tuned!
** We are only able to accept 3 video + photo clients a year-first come basis. But we are HAPPY to recommend our favorite photographers to you!

We have loved getting to know Elie and Aaron. It seems like only yesterday I received a call asking if we could film a proposal. It was amazing to be a 'fly on the wall' of sorts for their proposal and first moments together as an engaged couple. We were then so honored when they asked us to film their wedding.
The day was smoothing sailing. I mean, what would you expect from a professional wedding planner. Elie works for The Yes Girls, a professional wedding and proposal planning team. When you have some time, take a look at their website and watch all the creative ways men have proposed to their future wives.
Elie and Aaron, thank you again! We loved working with you and getting to meet your family and friends. You are blessed with wonderful people in your lives, and we wish you a long and happy marriage.
Seize the day!

We've been so slammed the last few months, I forgot to post some of the images from Danielle's birth. There is just something so special about that moment you become a parent and hold your baby for the first time. I don't think I will ever get over it. Gives me goosebumps every time I capture it.
Oh, man! It was soooo much fun (and a tiny bit terrifying) to capture this special moment in Robert and Paige's life! Terrifying because you don't want to mess up!!! And, I have to say, (phew) these photos turned out great! I mean, how could they not?!?? Just look at how cute and in love these two are!
Robert worked some magic to get the key to the top of the midtown plaza building! And (so genius) had all their friends across the way on the rooftop bar, BosoNova! Anyway, congrats to these two and happy wedding planning!
Seize the 'good stuff,'

Well, I had intended to post this last week, but that was before our family came down with some gnarly cold. Everyone was coughing and no one was sleeping. And, poor Jared, who had the shortest bought of it, got to play nurse-maid to everyone else. Anyway, one week and about 40 clorox wipes later, here we are.
Thank you again to Lauren and Matt! We soooo enjoyed working with you and your family! We wish you the best in all you do! May you have a long, happy marriage!

Tulsa, Here we come! I tell you what, we just had the BEST time with this group! (Even though they were actively rooting against my OSU Cowboys-wink-I guess we will forgive them). And, I just cannot say enough about this beautiful new venue and its lovely owners. Everyone go check it out at http://www.spainranch.com/ .
Megan and Nathan, thank you for all the laughs and fun times at your wedding (and while editing your awesome honeymoon footage-- part two to come later). We truly enjoyed it!
Happy New Year! 2015 was a banner year for us, and we are so excited for the nine couples who have already booked for our 2016 season. We are even headed to Dallas this spring. As we wrap up the 2015 films, I thought I would post this one. I LOVE the story of how these two met! And how cute is their puppy?!?!
