brandi + brett | amarillo wedding photographer

Most of you probably don't know this about me, but I played college basketball for a year at Wayland Baptist University before deciding it just wasn't for me and moving back to Lubbock to go to Tech. It was an interesting year to say the least, but I learned a lot of life lessons and met a lot of really awesome people that year at Wayland-and one of those awesome people was Brandi.
Brandi is the kind of person that everyone wants to be friends with. She's sweet, caring, and fun loving! I always knew that the lucky guy that she would fall in love with would be just as fun and kind as she was- and after meeting Brett, I was not disappointed! These two compliment each other like no one else I know and it was just a joy to be a part of their wedding day.
These are long overdue, but here are some of our favorites! Enjoy! :)

Brett plays baseball for Wayland, and these two are like super athlete's so I thought it was only appropriate to incorporate that a little with their ring shot! ;)








There's a little tradition with Brett's family where all the guys wear green socks when they get married...so cool!






such a sweet look...






The next two images were taken of the same moment, this was Aric's view...

and this was mine... love the emotion of him looking at her and saying his vows.

a little unity sand action...

told you guys...baseball fans...


loved the simplicity and the grain in this shot!

checkin' out the new bling...

home | sweet home

yessss!!! we are finally home!!!! it feels so good. 2 weeks away is a long time. especially when there are a million things i want to share, and a million more pictures i want to post!!! overwhelmed is the word of the week. :)
but not a bad overwhelmed. a good overwhelmed. i think it will take a couple weeks to get the house situated, wash all the clothes from travel, work through pictures, and just get caught up on work, life, emails, and seeing all the friends we have missed since being gone!
because of the fact that our to-do list is a mile long, blog edits are coming in slower than usual too and I apologize but promise that this blog is coming back to life with lots of wonderful adventures and beautiful pictures to share!!
This is a teaser post for now, we have several weddings/shoots that have been put on hold because of our absence so here is what is in store for the next few days!! :)

Brandi & Brett's beautiful wedding...


Josh and Meghan's fun E-session right before we left...


Matt & Ashten's perfect destination wedding that has given proof to the fact that everyone should have a destination wedding! ;)


and last but not least, Kelly & David's gorgeous Austin wedding...


and I might throw in a few posts about OUR wedding!! ;)
be checking our photographers' blog and go ahead and add them to your google reader or any other list of websites to check daily- www.table4weddings.com and www.table4weddings.com/blog


and one last thing- Brittany took my bridals for me...AND they are wonderful! She did an amazing job- here's one I took from her blog, but you can see more here!


Enjoy!

that's where we have been. and that's where we will be for another week!  we are getting married this Saturday the 1st!!  We left in such a hurry that we didn't get a chance to set up a automatic email response!  So we thank everyone in advance for your patience in our getting back to you!  This is the first chance we have had free wireless internet, so just wanted to check in and let everyone know what's goin' on over here!!  We will be honeymooning in Mexico until next Thursday, flying home, driving to Austin and shooting a lovely outdoor wedding there before we will be back in the office and back to the daily grind!  :)

expect lots of pictures when we come back!!!

...

dear blog friends,
i sheepishly sat down to my computer to write this blog like a puppy that knows it's in trouble and walks up to you with his tail between his legs and those big puppy dog eyes just begging for forgiveness...
so please do forgive us for the lack of blog posts lately- I'm running around like a chicken with my head cut off doing a million different things and it feels like none of it is allowing me to produce any work to show!! :(
and the scariest part is, we are leaving the comfort of our home office for good on Wednesday and won't be back in it until August 10th?!?!?!...
life is crazy.
but life is good.
i have no complaints, except for that maybe time is passing me by to fast...
I'll leave all the life, wedding, and work talk be for now, and give you guys something fun to look at!! :)
This is half of the images I had planned to blog for Melissa and Andrew's wedding. Of course, in the process of finishing the other half, photoshop freaked out on me and basically stopped working... (YAY!!! perfect timing) so anywho-we're going through the process of uninstalling and reinstalling it so that we will be back up and running the last few days we are here...

so for now, enjoy a few more shots from melissa and andrew's beautiful day- and be looking out for a few images from brandi and Brett's wedding, and also a last minute engagement shoot before we head out-

yay for new pictures!!!

melissa and andrew were married at the GORGEOUS Sky Creek Ranch Golf Course in Keller

loved the outdoor set up

some details



Andrew's reaction at the "first look"... Gosh, I love those!


and Melissa's...


one of those sweet moments together during the first look...


you may kiss the bride!!


Melissa's neice has a voice to die for! and she sang Somewhere Over the Rainbow at the reception...it was breathtaking...

haley + ryan | lubbock wedding photographer

my brain is on overload these days. so forgive me for such a short post. we just got back last night from ft. worth and i'm feeling SO behind...on editing, blogging, wedding planning, cleaning, organizing, i could go on and on...
thank you all for being so patient with us! we'll be working hard these next couple of days to get some orders and weddings out!! :)
we just had a blast with haley and ryan. them and their families made us feel right at home, and their wedding day was a beautiful one! it was our very first "early" wedding and I think I could get used to those! we were done shooting by 3:30 and had the whole afternoon to relax!! :)
enjoy some of our favorites from their day! and be looking out for some teasers from Melissa and Andrew's wedding from this weekend!!
