Kim & Marco | UT Football Stadium Engagement

This session is the one I've been waiting and waiting for. Not to post it - well, NOW... - but to get it set up. Marco was great friends with Kevin Webber (who tragically passed away late last year) and we shared many great memories of Kevin during our first conversation... and every conversation since then.

Marco is a diehard UT Football fan. So diehard in fact, his wedding this coming October isn't starting until the UT vs OU game is over. Because he's getting married on October 2nd... the DAY of the big game!

Since the UT Stadium is where they got engaged, I thought it would be a great idea to try and do their engagement session inside the stadium, and even cooler to get them on the field. Something to remember! So I contacted my good friend Eric Doggett of Doggett Studios because he had done a shoot there before for Mack Brown's wife Sally & Marcus Tubbs last November to see if he could help a brotha out!

Eric made a few phone calls, set the whole thing up, and all he wanted was breakfast at Magnolia Cafe... which I gladly provided. So last week, we made our way to the stadium, met with the right people, then had (almost) unlimited access to the stadium. Being a pretty diehard fan of UT myself (my wife and father graduated from there), I was pretty excited to be there also! We started our shoot on the field and almost passed out of the heat... but we enjoyed every second of it.

So without further delay, here are the pictures from the awesome session. Let Marco and Kim know what you think about them by leaving them some love in the comments section!

Thanks again to Eric for setting this awesome day up, and to Kim and Marco for allowing me to capture the great time we had. See you guys in October!

Jasmine & Khoa | Wedding

Ever so often, I get reminded how small this world is. I didn't know who Jasmine & Khoa were before I met with them... but I should have. Thao's cousin is married to Khoa's High School friend, and Khoa has been friends with another one of Thao's cousins for years... yet we haven't so much as met each other at a party, BBQ, nothing!

Well, I felt honored to be their photographer and to capture not only their Engagement Session, but their wedding last month.

Enjoy the pictures and don't forget to leave Jasmine & Khoa some love at the bottom.
