tori | musician

did I mention in my previous teaser how incredibly amazing this girl's voice is?
and I don't just say that about anybody. There are a select group of people in the world that make it onto that list-and Tori is towards the very top of it.
She comes from a very talented musical family. I graduated high school with her brother, micah, who is the best bass player in the world (no I'm not biased). Her dad is a professional musician, her Mom plays the piano, and I'm pretty sure her sister plays a few musical instruments as well. And this girl-well she can do it all. As far as I know, she plays the violin, the guitar, the piano...basically-I'm pretty sure that if you put a musical instrument in her hands she can play it.
Aric and I had a blast with this shoot. We got to be creative and crazy as we wanted to be, and that's always sweet medicine for an artist's soul.
Tori just got back a few weeks ago from California!!-after doing a little recording. Soon she will have her myspace all fixed up with her new tunes and I'll be sure to let you all know when it's up and running-as for now-here's a little sneak peek of the future rockstar.
-She's gorgeous isn't she?

jacie + scott | wedding

Jacie & Scott were our first wedding of 2009 and it was such a great start to our year!
I would be hard-pressed to forget the way these two looked at each other. From stolen glances across the room, to long and meaningful gazes during those special moments- it was a look of pure and complete adoration.
Looking back through their pictures has reminded me over and over again why I love doing this so much. To be a part of someone's wedding day is truly the highest honor we could ever receive. For families and friends to welcome us in as their own-is a priceless gift that we receive with each new couple that we have.  Jacie & Scott's families were no different.  I think I mentioned this before, but Aric and I seriously had to wipe our eyes after the father/daughter dance at this wedding-and then we just couldn't help but dance around a little with our cameras as everyone got down to some good ol' cupid's shuffle!
Congratulations Scott and Jacie!! We had the best time being a part of your big day and we wish you guys all the happiness in the world!! Enjoy the photos!!

reading | material

Photobucket

yep.
this is and has been my reading material for the past few days/weeks/months...
actually its like half,but you get the point...
I have a tendancy to walk into book stores with one agenda, and walk out with 5 extra books that I just couldn't pass up... Not only that, but I get home with those 6 books and I can't help myself-I begin to read them ALL...AT THE SAME TIME!! (that's not possible-but you know what I mean)
I'll take one out-read the first chapter see the other 5 sitting there staring at me , begging me to turn over the cover leaf and dive into all the knowledge and information; all the excitement of plots, antagonists and climaxes that await me.
It's a problem-I know.
The problem is it leaves me with a small library of books that are half read and collecting dust in my closet.
So I've made my first resolution of the new year. I will finish one book before I start another!!
Now, mind you, some of my reading material are school books, or wedding magazines, or reference type books-but I vow now to read only one book at a time (maybe two) and finish them before starting another.
If anyone is interested in starting a book club...I'm totally in. :)

In other news: For those of you wondering where the photobooth website is- we're sorry!! We're having a little trouble getting the site launched, but as soon as it's up I will leave a link for it right here!
Also, we are getting together some Senior picture information- so if you are a 2009 high school senior and want some senior pictures that will reflect the real YOU, and of course pictures that you will LOVE- e-mail us!! (We even have a little surprise for those who book us!)
And last, the pictures of Jacie & Scott's wedding are on their way!!-come back soon for those!! :)

our first | bridal show

whew. we can relax again, at least until I have to get up for school again tomorrow, but seriously the rest is much deserved.  we literally spent this past week up until all hours of the morning, working, working, and working some more and in my opinion-it was totally worth it!!
we just had the best time hanging out at the show meeting so many awesome brides, and grooms and dads and families who were so kind and too much fun.  

aric worked his little butt off getting the booth set up, and we couldn't have done it without the help of my mom and sister, and our great friend Chris and his awesome wife Megan.  What kind of awesome people will get up waaaaay early on a Sunday morning to do a lot of work that they didn't even have to do in order to support aric & i and our business(es)...ummm apparently those awesome people.  Thank you all so much for your help.  We are truly blessed with the best family and friends anyone could ask for and we would be nothing without you all.  We love you!!

if you are a bride that we talked to at the show and this is your first visit to our blog do feel free to leave us a comment!! (we love those!) and enjoy looking around at some of our recent pictures! we can't wait to hear from you all again!
And if you didn't get to make it to the show, I snapped a few pictures of our booth!!  It was so much fun and turned out even better than I could have imagined.

2009

I do believe that 2009 will indefinitely be one of the best years of our life. We are continually blessed by good health, wonderful friends, the best family, and opportunity after opportunity to do the things we love so much and meet and work with some of the coolest people ever!
If you would have asked me 2 years ago what I would be doing with my life-I wouldn't have an answer for you. But the Lord has provided and blessed us with a perfectly chosen path that truly is our heart's desire.
This year holds some of the greatest blessings for us here at aric alan|photography and we couldn't be more ecstatic about it!

Now on with an update!!

We shot our first wedding of 2009 last Saturday, January 3rd here at the Lubbock Club and had a blast! Such wonderful families and an awesome bride and groom-we will have a teaser up for you soon!

We have been working round the clock to get everything prepared for our very first Bridal Show!!!! WOO HOO!!!!

You can basically plan your entire wedding in one afternoon because all of the top local vendors will be at this show! It's a great place to get ideas, win prizes, hang out with your friends or your fiancee and enjoy a nice Sunday afternoon!
