JB Photography – the Blog

I love days like today!  The weather could hardly be better, Sirius Satellite Radio is playing some great tunes, and customers are calling!!

This morning, I set an appointment to shoot an old friend’s children in a couple of weeks.  Those youngsters should be a lot of fun, and Rebekah is super-creative, so we should get some GREAT shots!  I’m looking forward to it!

And as if that weren’t enough, a bride called back today to firm up plans for their bridal and wedding photos coming up in June!  Congratulations to Alison and Chris!  They’re getting married at the First United Methodist Church in Keller, and the reception will be at Texas Motor Speedway!  Will it be NASCAR-themed??  Stay tuned!

I’m so happy I get to do what I do for a living!  I love it!

Remember – if you need pics of the kids or family for Easter, birthdays, or “just because” – call us to book an appointment!  And if you’re getting married this summer – call QUICK – our calendar is filling up!!

Talk to you soon!!

I’ve already posted a few pictures from Candice and BJ’s Valentine’s Day wedding at Hotel Zaza in Dallas, but since I’ve added the rest of the pics to their online gallery, I wanted to put up a few more pics from the wedding day.  The wedding designer – Margaret Johnstone – did a great job with the decorations, and the whole evening went great!  Enjoy the pics!

BJ is a firefighter in Coppell, and the cake artist did an awesome job on his cake, making an almost exact replica of BJ’s helmet! I heard it tasted as good as it looked!

BJ and the Groomsmen wore purple wristbands and purple flowers in memory of BJ’s mom.

Every time I see this picture it reminds me of the opening scene from “Wedding Crashers” – Jump up and shout, now!

There were a couple of “special guests” present to help kick off the party! After all, it *was* Valentine’s Day!

…and what’s Valentine’s Day without Cupid? Isn’t Cupid supposed to be a baby?!?

Candice and BJ – Thank you for letting us be a part of your wedding!  We had a great time!  Enjoy the pics – the album is going to be awesome!

Here are some pages from an album we made for the wedding coordinator after Heather and Ty’s wedding at the Belo Mansion.  The lighting was awesome, and really set the mood for the whole reception.  If you know Heather and Ty, you’ll know that this reception was exactly them – lots of great music, elegant decorations, energetic party – a really fun time!  Enjoy the pics!  (To see larger versions, click here.)

Here’s the first BLOG look at BJ & Candice’s wedding and reception at Dallas’ Hotel Zaza on Valentine’s Day! Stay tuned for more coming very soon!

I’m working on an album today, and decided it would be fun to post a few pics! Amy and Mike were married this past October at the Aldredge House on Swiss Avenue in Dallas. The ceremony was very sweet, with friends and family in attendance from across the country!

I love this picture of the groom! The guys were being a little bit sneaky in their prison cell waiting room before the wedding.

The grin spreading across his face is contagious! A classic, and so happy! It’s not too obvious, is it?

The colors were gorgeous! The fading sunlight contributed the warm glow to the outside ceremony.

This bird’s-eye-view is unique to the Aldredge House, and provides a different perspective on the Bride and Groom.

The way the sun was streaming onto the lawn at the Aldredge House really helped to set the mood for this moment between the newly ‘pronounced’ husband and wife!

Classic red roses, champagne, and an elegant wedding cake!

A fun shot of Amy and Mike relaxing just before leaving the reception
