It had been 6 years since I photographed the wedding of Brittany Bednarz. Imagine the feeling I got when I talked to her little sister Tiffany, and she told me that she wanted me to photograph HER wedding too! I got to know Tiffany a little back then, and this summer I got to meet… Read More

Bridesmaid Discount
Yesterday was an amazing day. People who know me know that EVERY day is amazing and a blessing, but yesterday was special for a few reasons.

Sons Of Anarchy Photo Shoot
A while back another photographer told me that he was putting together a photoshoot inspired by the TV drama “Sons of Anarchy”. I had a Harley that would look good, even though it wasn’t running.

Blocking Uncle Bob
Uncle Bob is a term that wedding photographers use to describe a wedding guest who sometimes (usually) gets in the way of the hired photographer to get a picture on his camera or cell phone.

They will get in the aisle while the bride is coming, or they will pop up to get the picture of “the kiss”. Read More

You Need A Plan
My Advice To Millennials I could be wrong. I’ve been wrong before. I think I’m seeing a real trend with the so-called Millennials. They are coasting through life without a plan. No plan, no idea, no clue, no goals, no values, no work ethic, and no desire to get out of the bed of life…. Read More

I know some models, and have photographed models on occasion. This advice is worth what you’re paying for it. There’s a reason I write some of these… Read More
Star Wars Wedding in San Antonio
I’ve been doing weddings now for 10 years. I recently had a bride ask me for some special pictures after the ceremony. She said that she and her new husband are Star Wars fans, and would I mind doing some silly pics with Light Sabers.
