NEW SITE AND PROMO REEL!
April 29th, 2009

A few weeks ago I posted up a video I had put together that highlighted a real destination wedding and engagement that I had recently shot.  Well...the video just wasn't good enough for me, so I brought in the big guns...Paul Rogers and Photographers Reel.  Video on your website is so important these days, and I simply didn't want anything less than the best! Knowing that Paul's past clients include Jasmine Star and David Jay, I figured he'd take good care of putting together a sick promo reel for us!  This is sweet check it out!

If you dig the promo then contact Paul to get one!  You don't even need to hire a professional video guy.  Just have your assistant hold a video camera on your while you shoot!  Send that in to Paul and he'll put together a sweet video like mine!  What's even cooler is that I have a promo code for you guys to get a discount on your video!  Use the promo code PhotoReel_SMD to get 15% off your next promo reel!  Awesome!Late last night we also launched V2 of our new website!  I added a few new "me" slides so be sure to stop by and chec k it out!  We use Showit Sites because it's frikking awesome and I can just change the look and feel of my site at anytime for free!  It rocks! Totally recommended if your hunting for a new site! 

Check out the new site!

I almost got confused.  I've been blogging about sessions in TX and FL....and I started this post and I was like...wait a minute....League City is in FL right....wait....no it's not.  Too many blog posts! :)

Anyways....now that I have my geography straight....the day after I got back into town from FL, I met up with Brandi and Schaun for their pre-wedding shoot.  Their wedding is actually in a few weeks, and if the wedding will be anything like the engagement....I'm in for a real treat!

OMG....these guys are SO CRAZY!  I can tell that even when they sleep there's never a dull moment.....especially with Schaun!  Brandi and Schaun have been together for 9 years!  Lest to say....Brandi says, "marry me or move on!! O.K., maybe not in the literal sense....but pretty much so! 

This was the first engagement session where I kept one eye through the view finder, and one eye on the lookout for police!  I seriously have never laughed so hard during a session before....such a great time!

We started off in this really cool place called Helens Garden, which apparently is THE spot to shoot in League City because at the end their we're at least 3-4 photographers with clients in the park.  Crazy! 

One of the very FEW sincere moments...it's cool though....because that's how they roll.  I encourage my clients to be themselves.



 
Schaun has a little Captain in him. :)
 
 
Then they start with this, "I'm not touching you," thing where you put your finger like really close to the other person like almost touching but not and be like, "I'm not touching you, I'm not touching you!" I was laughing my butt off because Brandi and I do that all the time (my wife Brandi..duh!)
 
The energy level of this session was through the roof!





 
This section was actually roped off....but it didn't stop Schaun! 
 
 
 
This place was packed too...there's another photographer behind us shooting another engagement session.  The couple looked SO SAD!  They we're being posed and stuff which isn't bad but isn't the way we roll.  At one point the couple was just staring at us with their mouths open.  They we're probably thinking to themselves, "hey they get to have fun on their session!"  Duh!
 
This is where things start to get crazy. Notice the discerning look on Brandi's face.
 
 
Frikking priceless!
 
 
Schaun says, "it's like a custom chopper!"

 
At the very end of the session on the way back to the cars we happened upon this caterpillar of some sorts that was from another planet. 
 
 
Brandi and Schaun, thanks for keeping me on my feet the entire session!  I can only imagine how much frikking fun your wedding will be!

Before flying home last week I got to hang out with Charlie and Sined at Busch Gardens for their pre-wedding shoot. Their wedding is coming up in November back in Florida, and this was the last time I'd be in Florida until that time so now was the best time for the session.

They stop into Busch Gardens all the time, being that they are about 5 minutes away and have annual passes. For them it serves as a way to "get away," from the daily grind that we go through evey day. Stop in, have a brewskie, peep some cool looking animals...naturally...their engagement session had to be exactly like that.

I let my couple's have full control over where we'll be shooting. I think it's a greater challenge, as most often the locations they pick I've never been to before. Having to adapt to differerent lighting situations, and people conditions on the fly is crucial.

Now, the People Condition at Busch Gardens...extreme! We thought we had it all planned out....yeah....lets go on a weekday and there will be nobody there! Little did we know it was frikking spring break....and it was like a Saturday morning! The place was packed like frikking Sardines.  Unfortunately we didn't get to ride any rides...BUT....we had a blast anyways, and got some really fun shots.





Cutest couple ever...

...and goofy...

...definitely my kind of client!























Technically your not allowed here...but we we're in and out with the quickness.















Charlie and Sined....you guys rock!  I can't wait until your wedding in November!
