Sounds like a good plan, right? Well... kinda. <br /><br />This lovely couple is the dirty souf, aka Atlanta. We've been emailing back and forth, planning this engagement session for a little while and it started off on the wrong foot this morning, in the shape of a cold front coming through Houston. Yes, the weekend they're here to do their engagement pictures. This morning, it rained. Then it started to clear and I was happy. But of course that was short lived, because it got windy... and with the temperatures being in the 50s and 60s, the wind doesn't make it too pleasant. None the less, we decided to go for it and brave the cold and wind. <br /><br />That lasted a whopping hour and half. <br /><br />So after much deliberation and a badass steak for Edward from <a href="http://www.texasroadhouse.com/">Texas Roadhouse</a> (he'd never been!), we've come to the conclusion that this weather is not going to push us around. So when they come back for their wedding next year, we're going to finish this session and make it all complete. Hence the reason there's a "Part 1" in the title of this post. <br /><br />So for now, enjoy what pictures we did capture from tonight and let them know that they rock by leaving them a comment or two. <br /><br /><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5125/5210473979_0ef6d01929_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="Shraddha & Edward -100" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5206/5211072378_ca77267f9a_o.jpg" width="800" height="418" alt="Shraddha & Edward -101" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5246/5211072402_d52260a432_o.jpg" width="800" height="600" alt="Shraddha & Edward -104" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5244/5211072420_ff8d6d60cb_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="Shraddha & Edward -105" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5085/5210473911_1528e6a02b_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="Shraddha & Edward -106" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5166/5211072490_4f86a94e79_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="Shraddha & Edward -108" />Sassani Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11892680296683284272noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5254437202559800209.post-3337879629265610852010-11-20T12:56:00.006-06:002010-11-20T17:15:53.841-06:00My Moo Card Experience (and Review)For the past few months, I'd been searching for a good place that can print high quality business cards. I'm not talking about the 10,000 cards for $2 places that just pump them out and don't care about quality... I'm talking quality, feel, etc. <br /><br />Then one day during the summer, my good friend <a href="http://www.clintdavis.net/blog">Clint Davis</a> - and the twin of my favorite TV character, <a href="http://www.sho.com/site/dexter/home.do">Dexter</a> - posted about <a href="http://www.clintdavis.net/blog/2010/08/moo-cards/">Moo Cards</a> on his blog. <br /><br />I'd heard about Moo Cards and I'd even seen some samples, but being so A.D.D sometimes, I just didn't think of it at first to look them up. Perfect, Moo was the way to go for me... or was it? <br /><br />The biggest advantage with Moo is that you can put up to 50 different pictures on the back of your cards, high quality and all. So not only are cards going to give your info to your potential clients, you can also have it act as a partial portfolio for yourself. Brilliant! I sifted through my work for the last 2 years and picked some of the best pictures I had taken at weddings and engagement sessions. All in all, I ended up with 39 total pictures. Here are some of the examples of what I picked... <br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4110/5192819662_fa3198a9c2_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="Moo Cards-115" /><br /><br />Now it was time to do the front side of the card. <br /><br />On <a href="http://www.moo.com">Moo's site</a>, it recommends you to use the following dimensions with 300dpi resolutions. <br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4124/5192305041_b87e4a1dce_o.png" width="310" height="425" alt="Moo Recommendations" /><br /><br />Not so hard to create it, right? I go into Photoshop, create a very simple 300dpi JPEG with my logo and basic info for the front of the cards at the recommended dimensions. I then uploaded the pictures and waited anxiously for my cards. <br /><br />In about a week, I received my first batch of cards. I was so excited, I ripped the package to pieces like a 3 year old on christmas morning and took the cards out for a glance at the quality. <br /><br />Imagine my disappointment when I saw their awesome packaging, awesome picture quality, with an absolutely ruined front side of the card. The quality was so bad, it looked like my name and logo had been smeared all over the card... on EVERY card. <br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4086/5192874608_2e40bbd37e_o.jpg" width="800" height="289" alt="Moo Cards-102" /><br /><br />So I emailed Moo that weekend and received an apology email back from them with an attempt to correct the problem. Mad or not, I have to say as a customer, I appreciate that. They also told me that "usually" a 300dpi JPEG shouldn't have any issues, but just in case, send them a Vectored PDF to ensure correction of the bleeding issue around the letters. <br /><br />Not having access to a program that does anything in a Vector format, I emailed Clint (a.k.a Dexter). He was gracious enough to not only redo the front side of the card for me, but also fix a small part of my logo that was bugging me. The "S" in Sassani looked a little choppy in my logo, so he cleaned it up (His doing is on the right). <br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4126/5192819528_3cb3298b20_o.jpg" width="800" height="400" alt="Moo Cards-106" /><br /><br />So now, I sent the Vectored PDF to Moo and expected the new batch to be a-ok, and here's what I got... <br /><br /><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5201/5192874630_8f6a3ede34_o.jpg" width="800" height="281" alt="Moo Cards-107" /><br /><br />The <span style="font-weight:bold;">SAME thing</span>... reprinted. Although they weren't as bad as the first batch, they still weren't right and I was quite pissed. So I emailed Moo AGAIN and told them the same JPEG file was printed instead of vectored PDF they had requested. So now, I have 400 cards that are nearly useless. <br /><br /><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5001/5192819484_9f6acaee36_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="Moo Cards-101" /><br /><br />Moo apologized again and asked for the PDF file to reprint the cards yet again. Being a little hesitant, I went ahead and sent the PDF file and waited. <br /><br />After another week or so (its been nearly a month since my initial order), I received my 3rd set of cards. This time, as they said, the PDF worked like a charm. The batch is perfect and Clint is my savior. Thanks Clint! <br /><br /><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5001/5192351837_53102e2914_o.jpg" width="800" height="281" alt="Moo Cards-108" /><br /><br />So now I'm left with a dilemma. Now that I know what issue was and its been fixed, do I use them again, or do I start searching for another place? Honestly, that question is easy for me to answer. Yes, I'll use them again... and here's why:<br /><br />Throughout the whole process, they attempted to fix their mistake. They were gracious enough to print me new cards and even though they had a hiccup with the second batch, they printed the cards until the issue was corrected. The quality and thickness of the cards is awesome, and the pictures look oh so sexy on the backside. Now that the front side is also fixed, these are what I would say are the perfect cards for anyone with a visual portfolio and I would recommend them to anyone. <br /><br />So if you're looking for business cards and you like great quality, give Moo Cards a chance and know that they stand behind their product 100%. I'm quite happy with my cards and I'll be reordering once I run out of them... and this time, with the correct Vector PDF file the awesome Clint Davis designed for me.Sassani Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11892680296683284272noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5254437202559800209.post-60026240124892185252010-11-12T16:11:00.003-06:002010-11-12T16:27:00.978-06:00Tracy & Chris | Couples Session, Houston TXSome of might remember <a href="http://sassaniphotography.blogspot.com/2010/02/talented-tracy-tesmer.html">Tracy's photoshoot</a> from earlier this year. She's a local film photographer who's extremely talented and also a great person. check out her work <a href="http://tracytesmer.com/">HERE</a>!<br /><br />When we did our shoot earlier this year, it was supposed to be a two part thing. But the weather was so weird and ever so changing, we never got a chance to do the second session. Now that I'm done with weddings for the year, I contacted her and told her to 'lets do this'. So just like I do with all my clients, I told her to pick a couple of locations and lets get to work. She chose an urban, downtown-y, edgy place Chris and her both liked... the Flying Saucer. So yesterday, we went downtown Houston and took some casual and fun pictures of the two of them. <br /><br />They're also both Cigar aficionados, and Chris manages a cigar shop in the Houston area... so we thought it'd be great to have their love for cigars put into the pictures. <br /><br />Check out the session and show them some love by leaving a comment for them! <br /><br />Enjoy. <br /><br /><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1322/5168485864_592116920b_o.jpg" width="800" height="600" alt="Tracy & Chris -101" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4030/5168485906_f327ee0f3d_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="Tracy & Chris -102" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4026/5168485930_5fa248c9c7_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="Tracy & Chris -103" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4086/5167884397_9458278da6_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="Tracy & Chris -104" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1208/5168485984_82a28a68f1_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="Tracy & Chris -105" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4065/5168486012_d270f8b545_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="Tracy & Chris -106" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4066/5167884503_1ee4ded148_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="Tracy & Chris -107" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1402/5168486056_24a47a0b38_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="Tracy & Chris -108" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4110/5167884553_fbbd7aa996_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="Tracy & Chris -109" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4089/5167884577_b6fc05a12e_o.jpg" width="800" height="600" alt="Tracy & Chris -110" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4043/5167884599_9c0ee9794f_o.jpg" width="800" height="480" alt="Tracy & Chris -111" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4033/5168486156_7d0bc015c5_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="Tracy & Chris -112" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4026/5167884631_080c471d99_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="Tracy & Chris -113" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4085/5168486218_78a6b52c61_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="Tracy & Chris -114" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4006/5168486238_068ecf9ed8_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="Tracy & Chris -115" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4021/5167884713_6b3e3947e7_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="Tracy & Chris -116" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4068/5168486306_2d010cb85e_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="Tracy & Chris -117" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4051/5167884765_29262f1d6f_o.jpg" width="800" height="600" alt="Tracy & Chris -118" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4026/5168486368_89c30962a1_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="Tracy & Chris -119" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1336/5168486404_bd41ee57a8_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="Tracy & Chris -120" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4027/5168486448_2fed4039ae_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="Tracy & Chris -121" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1349/5168486486_40a5a2c38e_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="Tracy & Chris -122" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1230/5167884919_4e3d8383f4_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="Tracy & Chris -123" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4152/5167885013_bcb4b40e69_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="Tracy & Chris -124" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1415/5167884975_925511d585_o.jpg" width="800" height="1202" alt="Tracy & Chris -125" />Sassani Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11892680296683284272noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5254437202559800209.post-34592034971192460292010-11-01T16:14:00.002-05:002010-11-01T16:28:13.559-05:00Anna & Frank | Houston, TX EnagagementOne of the things I do is ask my clients to pick a few locations that have personal meaning to them to take pictures at for their engagements. Personal, Sentimental, anything... and most of them respond with very cool locations. Anna & Frank were obviously no different. <br /><br />They met at the Univ. of Houston, so one of the locations they picked was the campus. To be specific, they actually met while working as lifeguards at the school swimming pool, so being me... I had to make 'that' picture a cool one. So this past weekend, we started out at the Univ. of Houston campus recreation center, then moved on to their other passion. Their dogs! <br /><br />I'm a big softy when it comes to Great Danes, because I've always wanted one, but room at our place (and my wife) never allowed it. Now with a kid and other responsibilities, its hard to own one. So, I live vicariously through other owners of Great Danes. And let me tell you, I loved Brutus... and Dakota (their Lab) was pretty awesome too! <br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4085/5136930033_180e989449_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="Anna & Frank -101" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1312/5137534898_b78af679d7_o.jpg" width="800" height="480" alt="Anna & Frank -102-1" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1083/5136930183_0896d51333_o.jpg" width="800" height="424" alt="Anna & Frank -104" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1328/5136930219_0768af6ea3_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="Anna & Frank -105" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1339/5137535052_d67c5f9d17_o.jpg" width="602" height="800" alt="Anna & Frank -106" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4108/5137535064_c41a27ebc4_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="Anna & Frank -107" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1060/5137535076_9a9a976dcd_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="Anna & Frank -108" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4068/5136930359_16fccf55b4_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="Anna & Frank -109" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4015/5136930389_37ddd00950_o.jpg" width="800" height="425" alt="Anna & Frank -110" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4126/5136930429_ed53b1ff99_o.jpg" width="800" height="427" alt="Anna & Frank -111" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1156/5136930465_bbb8b107c0_o.jpg" width="800" height="423" alt="Anna & Frank -112" />Sassani Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11892680296683284272noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5254437202559800209.post-90177094421801514572010-10-29T20:37:00.003-05:002010-10-29T23:06:31.527-05:00Pumpkins & Hook 'ems.Kami's growing up way too fast, and I'm not as picture happy with him now as I was even a year or so ago. But every year, I *have* to take Halloween pictures of him. Its 3 years running so far, and I can't wait to keep adding more. <br /><br />And for those who do not know, Kami knows how to throw his 'Hook em Horns' hand gesture pretty well already. So well in fact fact, that one of the kids at his Montessori school ran up to me a few weeks ago as I was picking him up, gave me a big thumbs up and told me "<span style="font-style:italic;"><span style="font-weight:bold;">GIG 'EM, and you can tell KAMI'S MOMMY THAT!</span></span>". That made me proud! <br /><br />Looks like we're raising our boy right! <br /><br />Happy Halloween everyone. <br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4128/5127559142_ebf9a063db_o.jpg" width="800" height="544" alt="three_halloweens" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4062/5126961697_64d1debb08_o.jpg" width="800" height="600" alt="700_9449" />Sassani Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11892680296683284272noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5254437202559800209.post-25332699154662849892010-10-24T09:50:00.003-05:002010-10-24T11:09:37.356-05:00Katie & Chase | Brenham, TX Engagement SessionA few weeks ago while heading to shoot my Longhorn wedding, I get a phone call from Chase. He tells me Katie & him have decided I need more Aggie pictures in my portfolio. And you know what... I think I do too. After second shooting an Aggie wedding with a good friend a few months back, I must say, Aggies know how to party and have a good time! So needless to say, I'm excited. <br /><br />Then I get a very *very* detailed email from Katie telling me (among other things) that we have access to a massive ranch a friend of their owns, complete w/ awesome fields, tractors, and even a zip line into a swimming pond. This just gets better and better. So yesterday, we headed out to the Brenham area - yes, where <a href="http://bluebell.com/">Blue Bell Ice cream</a> is made - to scope out this ranch and do their engagement pictures. <br /><br />There was so many great locations and so little time, we didn't get to the zip line like we wanted, but we did get these very awesome pictures. So take a minute and enjoy these pictures, then let Katie & Chase know how awesome they are! <br /><br /><br /> <img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1374/5110891872_03e0dfd3f2_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="Katie & Chase -101" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4111/5109813148_467674e409_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="Katie & Chase -102" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1112/5109813172_50884ffb76_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="Katie & Chase -103" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1373/5109215505_f52b706b71_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="Katie & Chase -104" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1130/5109215763_18fcf8021a_o.jpg" width="800" height="599" alt="Katie & Chase -106" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1438/5109813214_c9ed7a2839_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="Katie & Chase -107" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4091/5109813262_856948e74e_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="Katie & Chase -109" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1133/5109215531_cb484e53d0_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="Katie & Chase -108" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1051/5109215597_cf2e73127b_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="Katie & Chase -111" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4103/5109813566_03c2b9e1d7_o.jpg" width="800" height="599" alt="Katie & Chase -113" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1138/5109215571_5ee2f5f83b_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="Katie & Chase -110" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4085/5109813302_a4f5ab11db_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="Katie & Chase -114" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1047/5110856958_c8b715df40_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="Katie & Chase -115" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1145/5110856994_62068fae69_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="Katie & Chase -116" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1430/5109215667_a15c1d0be6_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="Katie & Chase -117" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1333/5109813394_4d5ecf6a2e_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="Katie & Chase -118" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1386/5110256439_e081874590_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="Katie & Chase -119" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4110/5110256461_fda38c72b6_o.jpg" width="800" height="364" alt="Katie & Chase -120" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4111/5110256543_d62f2b44f9_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="Katie & Chase -122" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4090/5109813442_e381ea7813_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="Katie & Chase -123" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1371/5109215719_44491828b0_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="Katie & Chase -124" /><br /><br />Thank you Katie & Chase for allowing me to be a part of what will be a very special wedding next year.

Well, almost. Wharton is about an hour south of Sugarland and I was honored to shoot Kelsey & Kendan's wedding. The wedding was very simple, and I think the vows took a little less than 2 minutes. Literally. Reason being, they wanted to get down and enjoy the rest of the night partying, which by the way, they did. <br /><br />Check out the awesome Cow themed house (Kelsey's mom), the necklace her great grandmother wore on her wedding day, and the very fun and lively wedding that followed. <br /><br />Enjoy. <br /><br /><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1172/5100672301_c63946e790_o.jpg" width="800" height="366" alt="K & K -101" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1210/5101268710_fac64ae3af_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="K & K -102" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4132/5101267648_cb831dfac8_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="K & K -103" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1060/5100671837_3e3813df4b_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="K & K -104" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1314/5101268670_4673d52c42_o.jpg" width="800" height="367" alt="K & K -105" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1370/5100671963_59ba26ece7_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="K & K -106" /><br /><br />The dress on the right is Kelsey's mom's wedding dress thats upstairs in their house.

The two biggest sports fan of a couple I've had to date. Their wedding didn't fall on the Red River Rivalry weekend for no reason! Knowing that before hand, I had to make the engagement shoot special... so we pulled a few strings and got them inside the UT stadium for the most awesome shoot I've ever done. you can check out that awesome engagement shoot <a href="http://sassaniphotography.blogspot.com/2010/07/kim-marco-dkr-memorial-stadium.html">here</a>! <br /><br />Then to top it all off, my friend Clint Davis who was moving across the country from California to South Carolina called me and asked if he could shoot the wedding with me as he reached his midway of travel. How could I possibly say no? I mean, have you seen his <a href="http://www.clintdavis.net/">website</a>??? To have him shoot with me was an absolute honor! <br /><br />The day was great, the weather was awesome, the bride was beautiful, and the wedding went off (almost) without a hitch! It was such an awesome wedding, I really don't know what else to say other than... enjoy the pictures. <br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4106/5070799032_b1581f16a4_o.jpg"

Kenny, RunLast year at the end of October, I received a phone call from my cousin Amir in the Dallas area. He told me he was about to tell me something and I couldn't under any circumstances share it with anyone until the news was ready to be passed around. Sounded bad, and I was right. <br /><br />You see, the previous year I had shared with him some bad news that I told him he couldn't share with anyone until the news was ready to be spread. I had told him and his soon to be wife (at the time) about my mom's battle and ongoing surgery schedule with <a href="https://health.google.com/health/ref/Acoustic+neuroma">Acoustic Neuroma</a>. My mom wasn't ready to tell anyone about it, but Amir is a person I had trusted with conversations and information for a long long time. <br /><br />So after a few somber moments of talking, Amir proceeded to tell me that his dad (my uncle) has <a href="https://health.google.com/health/ref/Pancreatic+carcinoma">Pancreatic Cancer</a>. Mind you, this is around the same time the news was concentrating on this deadly form of cancer, because Patrick Swayze was dying of it... so I knew the outcome. I quickly jumped on the internet, looked up the treatment for it, chance of survival, etc. Needless to say, I was almost in tears once I learned almost 95% of the people diagnosed do not survive past 5 years. <br /><br />A few days after the phone call, my uncle Kenny went into surgery. I remember texting Amir all day back and forth asking how everything was going. I was as worried as anyone else was, and I had nobody but Thao to share this with since I had promised Amir I wouldn't say anything until his dad was ready to reveal it himself. After surgery, recovery, came the reveal. The cancer was benign and it was positioned in such a place on his pancreas that it had not entered his blood stream. Needless to say, he was about to become one of the 5% who survive this rather than becoming a statistic. My uncle has always been a fighter and he's an example to many, including myself. I call him randomly for guidance and sometimes just to say hi, give him good news, or tell him how we're doing. It would be hard for me to not have him around. very hard. <br /><br />A few monts back, he emailed my family and I about a run that was coming up that benefited Pancreatic Cancer in Austin he was going to participate in. Being the forgetful person, I didn't see or read the email until it was too late... but fear not, my brother Fred made sure I remembered. I was supposed to have a client meeting in Austin today (which canceled) but I went up there anyway for the <a href="http://www.pancan.org/purplestride/">Purple Stride Austin Run/Walk</a>. <br /><br />My uncle didn't know I was coming, and he didn't know I was planning on taking pictures for him. After all, its the smallest thing I could do to show how much I care. So on Saturday morning, Fred and I woke up at the butt crack of dawn and headed to the <a href="http://www.hillcountrygalleria.com/">Hill Country Galleria</a> in Austin for the run. Here are the pictures I took of the run and the day. <br /><br />Please look at the pictures and leave my uncle some comments to remind him how big of a battle he's battling, and looks like he's winning. I'm proud to have him as a family member and to call him my uncle.<br /><br />Kenny, this post is for you! hope you enjoy it. <br /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4105/5025289372_94d6b99f26_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="701_5268" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4154/5025289434_d258c51af5_o.jpg" width="800" height="364" alt="701_5273" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4089/5024676345_8e026b52be_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="701_5275" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4106/5025289410_607694a446_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="701_5274" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4147/5024676373_25c488219d_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="701_5276" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4104/5024676419_8f985d7d1e_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="701_5284" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4083/5025289464_9bd03d6a85_o.jpg" width="800" height="600" alt="701_5281" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4087/5024676443_4764355e7f_o.jpg" width="800" height="363" alt="701_5291" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4106/5024676471_a77b50d5fe_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="701_5300" /><br /><br />These purple roses were given to the handful of survivors among the 1,100+ crowd.

To say the least, I was beyond flattered. Not because she emailed me or asked me, but because Courteney is an <a href="http://www.courteneymillerphotography.blogspot.com/">awesome photographer</a> herself and she has access to God knows how many other photographers here in the Houston area... and she chose me. <br /><br />So a couple of weeks back, during the heat and humidity of beautiful Houston, Texas we braved the elements with her beautiful daughter Ella and husband Chris, went out to a local park near their house for this awesome session. Here's a few samples from that session. Hope you guys enjoy. <br /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4092/5019117243_fdc58c858f_o.jpg" width="800" height="362" alt="701_4585" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4089/5019117255_199515ccdc_o.jpg" width="800" height="600" alt="701_4590" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4092/5019722406_25e8878253_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="701_4597" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4111/5019722422_edbee17ea5_o.jpg" width="800" height="357" alt="701_4604" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4133/5019117313_bc9e1f8a60_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="701_4621" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4127/5019117365_6464366afd_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="701_4632" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4106/5019117397_81e16e40ca_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="701_4688" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4106/5019117433_8030a522d0_o.jpg" width="800" height="356" alt="701_4696" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4084/5019722604_645c40bf1a_o.jpg" width="800" height="600" alt="701_4711" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4107/5019117463_94e60a579e_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="701_4715" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4103/5019117531_f508295e79_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="701_4776" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4126/5019722728_bfbb5c4172_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="701_4844" />Sassani Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11892680296683284272noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5254437202559800209.post-56480698641049955352010-09-22T22:47:00.003-05:002010-09-22T23:13:27.174-05:00Kelsey & Kendan | Austin, TX EngagementI had the whole thing planned. Talked to Kelsey about it... was ready to go. My plan was to drive to Austin Friday afternoon, do her Bridals (coming soon!) while Kendan was gone for the evening, then do their engagement shoot on Saturday morning before coming back home to Houston. <br /><br />As I'm driving into Austin, everything seems great. I was making good time, weather was ok - a little cloudy, but not too bad - and Kelsey was getting ready. The closer I get, the clouds grow darker. Being the photographer I am, I'm thinking 'well, I like clouds... this could be awesome'. Ya, right! As soon as I pull into Austin... RAIN! and not just normal rain, either. Rain with drops the size of coins and very little gap between those coin sized drops. <br /><br />So as I get to K&K's place, Kelsey is ready to go, sitting there in her awesome wedding dress and veil. I had to talk her out of doing the shoot, because as you can tell, I like fields... and fields get muddy when it rains. Not to mention, I'll be damned if I get a bride's dress dirty in a field for the sake of a picture. So, she reluctantly waited until the morning. <br /><br />So the next morning, early, we did Kelsey's bridal shoot (which rocked... and you'll see it soon enough), then we headed out with Kendan to take some pics of them. The weather was awesome, Kelsey & Kendan brought along some props and we rocked out the shoot in Kyle, Tx. <br /><br />Here's the results of the shoot, and I'm sure they would really appreciate your love - in the form of comments - after you check out their pics. <br /><br />Ready? SET... GO! <br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4144/5016195177_a3b61d3bfb_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="701_4983-Edit" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4152/5016195237_e192a6059b_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="701_4997" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4088/5016801596_c02a85506a_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="701_5003" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4106/5016195333_dee4aefb00_o.jpg" width="800" height="599" alt="701_5018" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4151/5016801620_7822e71b52_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="701_5011" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4084/5016195383_ab45b42a37_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="701_5029" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4086/5016801696_eca9620a70_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="701_5043" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4148/5016195431_a8f9ef64fb_o.jpg" width="800" height="599" alt="701_5094" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4149/5016195463_bcd6e2fcb9_o.jpg" width="800" height="800" alt="701_5118" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4104/5016195483_197c86c342_o.jpg" width="800" height="368" alt="701_5138" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4152/5016215631_e7cffdffa0_o.jpg" width="800" height="600" alt="701_5154" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4091/5016801818_5937eb95c0_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="701_5176" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4104/5016195557_fbcf8fe120_o.jpg" width="800" height="363" alt="701_5190" />Sassani Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11892680296683284272noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5254437202559800209.post-71253819845792804302010-09-21T00:47:00.003-05:002010-09-21T00:59:48.274-05:00On a personal note...I just have to share this. <br /><br />My good friend <a href="http://www.doggettstudios.com/#id=album-13&num=content-495">Eric Doggett</a> put <a href="http://www.doggettstudios.com/blog/a-120-pound-journey/">the following video</a> on his blog today, and I must say, I've watched it (probably) 30 times already... and no, its not because I like Coldplay either. The video below is about the journey of a guy who got fed up with being unhappy, something snapped, he made a change and lost 120 lbs in less than 2 years!<br /><br />Last December, something snapped in me. I was overweight and pretending I wasn't gaining any more weight. I got fed up, and although I wasn't as dedicated and motivated as this guy is, I have managed to drop a good 30+ lbs so far in the last 9 months. At first, it was because of my brother's wedding. Then it became the "don't want to be fat again" thoughts. So today I sit here, lighter, leaner, meaner, and well lets just face it, sexier before you watching the following video. <br /><br />It really is amazing what motivation does to you. I almost want to go out and run like hell just to prove to myself that I can lost another 30 lbs. But if I do that, my ginormous head would once again not be proportional to my body like it was when I was younger. Unfortunately, I can't lose the weight on my head! <br /><br />I hope you watch this video and are as inspired as I am. Enjoy! <br /><br /><object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/8SbXgQqbOoU?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/8SbXgQqbOoU?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>Sassani Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11892680296683284272noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5254437202559800209.post-39188705098983333922010-09-09T22:08:00.002-05:002010-09-09T22:24:12.332-05:00The lovely Nicole WebberA while back, I had a Thursday wedding in Austin. I hadn't seen my good friend (<a href="http://sassaniphotography.blogspot.com/2009/03/kevin-nicole-in-beautiful-riviera-maya.html">& past bride</a>) Nicole in quite a while, so I took a road trip for the weekend with another friend to Dallas to see and hang out with her. <br /><br />She's such a photogenic person, but she's so nervous in front of the camera. After about an hour of walking around the neighborhood, we finally broke her shyness and got some killer pics.<br /><br />She had told me she was looking into getting in the makeup artistry, which I think would be a great field for her! She's an amazing makeup artist and did an amazing job for her own wedding in Cancun. If anyone in the Dallas area is getting married and want a amazingly talented makeup artist, please let me know and I'll get you in contact with her. Not only is she a talented artist, but she's also a very down to earth and amazing person too. She's become a great friend and I love getting her random texts telling me she's thinking of Thao, Kami, and I. <br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4027/4630462653_a8858ffc20_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="700_4103" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4049/4631061230_b029620bfd_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="700_4115" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3398/4630462757_0cf1d5eef1_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="700_4369" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4061/4631061270_c631520a12_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="700_4351" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4060/4630462771_87264f7dcf_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="700_4400" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4059/4631064558_3912d16aab_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="700_4413" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4065/4630465995_ab9427610d_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="700_4419" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4065/4631064642_f32df4f8da_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="700_4445" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4027/4630466049_e27071ffd0_o.jpg" width="532" height="800" alt="700_4449" />Sassani Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11892680296683284272noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5254437202559800209.post-37715590814958575882010-09-03T22:21:00.007-05:002010-09-03T22:37:48.157-05:00Ok, now what...?Social media these days seems to be everywhere. Facebook, Twitter, Digg, Linkedin, etc. I'm the type of person that would give anything social media-y a chance knowing the power of its connection. Hell, I even tried <a href="http://www.google.com/buzz">Google Buzz</a>. What a joke! <br /><br />So Apple recently introduced <a href="http://www.apple.com/itunes/ping/">'ping'</a>, their social media thingie. I'm guessing the idea of it is (so far) better than its execution. Social media + Music = Success? I'm a junkie for both, but its not taking off like the iPhone or even the iPad. <br /><br />Seems that Apple tried to get it to connect to facebook, but something happened and <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/02/all-things-d-facebook-blocked-apples-ping-service-for-unauthor/">Facebook blcoked it</a>. Strike 1. <br /><br />Then even though there's been over a <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/03/apples-ping-gains-a-million-users-in-first-two-days/http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/03/apples-ping-gains-a-million-users-in-first-two-days/">million users signed up in just 2 days</a>, nobody knows what the hell they're supposed to do on it. Strike 2.<br /><br />I admit, I'm a sucker, I signed up... but I'm with the masses and have no clue what the point of this thing is. Maybe in due time, Apple will unveil their evil plan and explain it all to us, but it seems (just like Google Buzz) it has 2 strikes against it in just 2 days, and we all know that if people can't figure it out easily or see a point in it, they won't flock toward it. Yes, I understand the cult following of Apple and their products. I'm a big fan of them... I have 2 computers and an iPhone from them. I get them, their evil plan, and they've lured me in. I just hope this doesn't follow buzz as the butt of jokes in the social media circles. <br /><br />Oh well, here's my page for ping. If anyone is on there, feel free to add me. I'd love to figure this thing out with you and actually put it to good use... whatever that use may be. I just don't think this will be anything like Facebook or Twittter. <br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4134/4955484301_b65bff790c_z.jpg" width="640" height="482" alt="Region capture 2" />Sassani Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11892680296683284272noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5254437202559800209.post-73660224629478413542010-08-29T12:16:00.002-05:002010-08-29T12:22:29.026-05:00Its true what they say!It really is. I always heard parents telling Thao and I that kids get better with every stage. At 6 months old, we thought it couldn't get any better. Then the same when he was 1, when he started walking, talking, potty trained, etc. <br /><br />Kami has been pretty vocal lately, and he know what Daddy's camera is all about. So today, Kami came up to me and asked "Daddy take a picture...?", and without hesitation, I grabbed my camera and wanted to take a picture. But I thought about it and figured since he's so vocal and understands everything we say now, I'd have a simple setup. I grabbed my flashes, stands, umbrella, and setup a simple lighting scenario in his room. <br /><br />He was so awesome! he stood there, took direction, and was the greatest 2 1/2 year old model anyone could ask for. <br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4138/4938382840_cb5d2cf27b_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="701_4341" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4074/4938007909_e9d21aef52_o.jpg" width="800" height="599" alt="701_4338" />Sassani Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11892680296683284272noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5254437202559800209.post-11482496190945345002010-08-15T00:43:00.003-05:002010-08-15T00:54:03.509-05:00Big News!Thao and I just recently found out that we're expecting our second baby. We couldn't be more excited! <br /><br />Above all, we want the baby to be (obviously) healthy, but I can't help but wish for a little girl. Everyone I know that is having a baby these days is having a boy. EVERYONE! My parents have always wanted a little girl. So much in fact, that they used to used to put our hairs (my brothers and I) in pig tails when we were kids and take pictures of us (No, I won't post any!). <br /><br />We have a girl name picked out already, but we have no idea what we'll do for a name if its a boy. It took us 8 months and 3 weeks until we came up with Kami's name, so it would be a long and hard journey for a name! <br /><br />So here's hoping for a very healthy baby girl. <br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4140/4884174390_31503bf336_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="701_3357" />Sassani Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11892680296683284272noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5254437202559800209.post-162974872575948422010-08-15T00:35:00.003-05:002010-08-15T00:41:42.353-05:00And so he grows.Today, we moved Kami from his crib to a big boy bed. He now resides in a nice (and big) Queen size bed in his room, complete w/ his whole zoo of stuffed animals. He was so excited about it, he kept asking us to go home so he could go night night on his new bed... at 7 PM! (he usually goes to bed around 9ish). <br /><br />Even while I was putting things together for him, moving things in and out of the room, and cleaning things up in his room, he came and climbed on the bed and watched Thao and I work. So being the dad that I am, I grabbed my camera... which he of course loves. <br /><br />My little boy is growing up, and as much as I love it, I also miss him being a little baby! <br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4134/4892421795_8fb3d92615_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="701_3374" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4139/4892421823_d11689acc7_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="701_3376" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4114/4892421853_ae97763f59_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="701_3378" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4096/4892421873_86ffa4783b_o.jpg" width="800" height="366" alt="701_3384" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4100/4892421909_96076ab1a1_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="701_3388" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4081/4893019812_8a0fc1ffa7_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="701_3387" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4143/4893019852_c793ae9b1e_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="701_3394" />Sassani Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11892680296683284272noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5254437202559800209.post-54304007288425341022010-07-19T20:52:00.005-05:002010-10-26T01:46:16.261-05:00Kim & Marco | UT Football Stadium EngagementThis 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 <a href="http://sassaniphotography.blogspot.com/2009/03/kevin-nicole-in-beautiful-riviera-maya.html">Kevin Webber</a> (who tragically passed away late last year) and we shared many great memories of Kevin during our first conversation... and every conversation since then. <br /><br />Marco is a diehard <a href="http://www.mackbrown-texasfootball.com/">UT Football</a> 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! <br /><br />Since the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darrell_K_Royal_%E2%80%93_Texas_Memorial_Stadium">UT Stadium</a> 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 <a href="http://www.doggettstudios.com/#id=album-13&num=content-495">Doggett Studios</a> because he had done a shoot there before for Mack Brown's wife <a href="http://www.doggettstudios.com/blog/sally-brown-and-marcus-tubbs-university-of-texas/">Sally & Marcus Tubbs</a> last November to see if he could help a brotha out! <br /><br />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. <br /><br />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! <br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4079/4798022028_5ce272fb26_b.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="700_6632" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4117/4797392303_f08b74487a_b.jpg" width="800" height="531" alt="700_6805" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4140/4797392357_10c2f0248f_b.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="701_1255" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4078/4797392377_080e49f6b3_b.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="701_1267" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4096/4811006592_1584a9abf5_b.jpg" width="532" height="800" alt="Kim & Marco -101" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4096/4798022154_d473c44f2e_b.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="701_1280" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4079/4797392439_e0192546ea_b.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="701_1293" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4079/4798022256_35f65261d5_b.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="701_1340" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4118/4798022282_61d751248f_b.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="701_1344" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4137/4798022310_5dab56f00a_b.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="701_1354" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4142/4797392577_5152c6bb04_b.jpg" width="532" height="800" alt="701_1385" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4099/4797392605_40ff3546eb_b.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="701_1409" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4137/4798022408_e724b40a47_b.jpg" width="532" height="800" alt="701_1438" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4093/4798022426_5c6b14a057_b.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="701_1445" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4140/4798022456_959e6c2e46_b.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="701_1457" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4099/4798022476_880613a7ee_b.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="701_1460" /><br /><br />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.

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! <br /><br />Well, I felt honored to be their photographer and to capture not only their <a href="http://sassaniphotography.blogspot.com/2010/05/jasmine-khoa.html">Engagement Session</a>, but their wedding last month. <br /><br />Enjoy the pictures and don't forget to leave Jasmine & Khoa some love at the bottom. <br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4077/4809939210_a9c26154e7_b.jpg"

I had a blast doing it.Sassani Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11892680296683284272noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5254437202559800209.post-25569406887883366692010-07-14T01:16:00.003-05:002010-07-14T01:26:58.827-05:00Kim & Aaron | EngagementI'm a little late on this, and shame on me! I've been buried in work and I didn't even notice that I forgot to post these awesome pictures. <br /><br />We had a blast romping around the Austin area taking these pictures. From the random fields, to the hand picked places, to the shoes. Yes, shoes! We drove all around, took a bunch of pictures, then ended up talking about our new iPhone 4's over dinner at Baby A's on Barton Springs. It was a great and humid day, and I truly respect Kim & Aaron for being such troopers in their formal outfits! <br /><br />Kim & Aaron are getting married this Saturday, and without further ado... I present to you their engagement pictures. <br /><br />Enjoy. <br /><br />They're big in the wiffle ball, so the afternoon started out on a baseball field. :) <br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4081/4734396749_3d57f3cc61_b.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="701_0867" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4116/4734396803_8c487428b3_b.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="701_0871" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1355/4735035730_8327c3473d_b.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="701_0874" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4095/4735035788_25933cc981_b.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="701_0901" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4119/4735035876_b3bfdc8e2a_b.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="701_0911" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1435/4734397095_c695efb98e_b.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="701_0937" /><br /><br />Then I made them crawl through some tall grass for some killer pics... But I apologized every chance I got. I blamed it on my "vision", which I think came out pretty well on these pics. <br /><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1374/4735036136_484c4538f6_b.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="701_1033" /><br /><br />the flowers were Kim's idea... <br /><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1428/4734397329_0bec3054c6_b.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="701_1039" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1417/4735036324_184f5b3a9a_b.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="701_1042" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4098/4735036376_09e8f25d41_b.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="701_1072" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4134/4734397489_68dc75ae3a_b.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="701_1082" /><br /><br />Thank you guys for the afternoon, and we'll rock it at your wedding.

Before we did anything for them, they sent us a pre-thank you card thanking us for services we hadn't even started performing for them. How awesome is that? Talk about the biggest ego boost ever! <br /><br />Their <a href="http://sassaniphotography.blogspot.com/2010/04/casey-time-engagement.html">engagement session</a> was a fun event, capped off w/ dinner at <a href="http://www.nikonikos.com/">Niko Niko's</a>. Between the jokes that were cracked, the laughs that were had, I don't think I've ever had that much fun on an engagement session. <br /><br />Then there's the venue of the reception. Casey & Tim love LOVE <a href="http://www.berryhillintheheights.com/">Berryhill Baja Grill</a> in the Heights, so they decided to have their wedding reception there. I had to see this place for myself, so last November, I decided I was going by there to check it out. Once I went there, I couldn't wait to do the wedding because the place is so colorful. So on Saturday, June 5th, they shut down the whole place and threw their wedding reception there. Here's the result. <br /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4134/4739405908_a31171c225_b.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="Casey & Tim-104" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4102/4738772581_35eed8fec7_b.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="Casey & Tim-107" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4121/4738772535_0155794989_b.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="Casey & Tim-105" /><br /><br />That morning, Tim had gone on a 5k run w/ some friends. He's the guy w/ the white visor, cowboy vest, and dark shorts on. Great sense of humor! <br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4143/4739405848_6123bd6e62_b.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="Casey & Tim-102" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4114/4738772653_a92f4e907e_b.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="Casey & Tim-109" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4093/4739406100_9f19f70641_b.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="Casey & Tim-113" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4136/4739406130_f3a87dec9e_b.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="Casey & Tim-114" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4095/4739406166_04b08317b3_b.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="Casey & Tim-116" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4075/4739405884_4310d85b48_b.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="Casey & Tim-103" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4082/4739406268_416f8cd693_b.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="Casey & Tim-119" /><br /><br />There's one thing I'm a sucker for, and thats shoes. Casey couldn't wait to show me her shoes... and I found out why when I saw them! WOW... I friggin' love the color! <br />Matter of fact, I love the color on these so much, my new upcoming logo is going to be the colors featured in this picture, w/ my logo being a shade of this green.<br />Thanks Casey for the inspiration. ;) <br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4095/4738772809_e8951f37e3_b.jpg" width="532" height="800" alt="Casey & Tim-118" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4122/4739406298_b31c193ebc_b.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="Casey & Tim-121" /><br /><br />Casey also made her own bouquet.

Yes, its an expensive hobby, but its so rewarding... once you get past the sticker shock of certain things. I guess it doesn't help my caust that after I met with Lauren & Kevin last year, Kevin has helped with quite a few engagement shoots, and even been to a couple of weddings with me to help with equipment and even take pictures. Thanks Kevin! <br /><br />This was my first Austin wedding of the year, and my first time shooting at Vintage Villas. I specially appreciate my good friend Dave McLaughlin of <a href="http://www.dcmphotography.com/">DCM Photography</a> for helping me shoot this wedding. He's a true professional and a great mentor to me over the last few years as I've moved forward in this Photography game. <br /><br />Enjoy the pics!<br /><br /><img

& Zul | Wedding (Day 1 & 2)The longest wedding I've done. Literally. But oh, so fun! <br /><br /><a href="http://sassaniphotography.blogspot.com/2010/05/heena-zul-engagement.html">Heena & Zul's</a> wedding was the first Indian/Pakistani wedding I'd ever done. Being Iranian myself, I'm all about culture. My wedding was a dash of this, a dash of that, so I was very excited to shoot this weeding and looked forward to it since the day I met the couple. <br /><br />The wedding didn't disappoint. Vibrant colors, great couple, LOTS of people, and so much to capture. Enjoy the set and let me know what you guys think! <br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4021/4657307305_7132a85227_b.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="700_0416" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4039/4657307329_b45996d692_b.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="700_0425" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4024/4657928546_bab7bfba2a_b.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="700_0438" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4004/4657928652_66947ec441_b.jpg" width="532" height="800" alt="700_0475" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4069/4657307517_4c3ffca84d_b.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="700_0514" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4051/4657307593_cfcd111c4f_b.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="700_0649" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4038/4657928854_beacc676b5_b.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="700_0960" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1271/4657307951_17f9e401b1_b.jpg" width="532" height="800" alt="700_1160" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4068/4657929144_42acb7f465_b.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="700_1154" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4039/4657308035_e196b290e5_b.jpg" width="532" height="800" alt="700_1451" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4057/4657308007_703ef90043_b.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="700_1436" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4028/4657929342_f78be100fe_b.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="700_1483" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4052/4657308251_dfdb50cd12_b.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="700_1665" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4003/4657308299_3b392db57a_b.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="700_1669" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4063/4657929680_a08f44d8a8_b.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="700_1716" /><br /><br />Day 2 began early, went late, and I think it was just as great as the first day!
