Tayler Bridal Shoot

Well Taylor tied the knot this past weekend March 21st. Wow just seems like yesterday she was in my youth group at church.. Taylor your are so beautiful and a gorgeous bride. Coby.. there is a God, is'nt there son…

Taylor wanted me to shoot her Bridal but I declined the actual wedding because you miss so much behind the lens and I didn’t want to miss this dear event. Coby and Taylor many blessing to you. You guys are so fun…

So were to shoot Taylor??? Well Downtown is my studios because there is so much character there. I just love it downtown… I am in search of graffiti if someone knows were there is a good graffiti wall that would bee fun… This day did not produce a whole lot of images. Taylor was stressed because of other commitments and it took awhile for her to make the connection I was after. But toward the end of the shoot the magic made a brief appearance with a little help from the wind… I love wind.



This session was a good trial run with Taylor and we had scheduled to go to Brenham to shot at the old Baylor site. I couldn't wait until then and hoped for better from the both of us.

The day came for us to make the trip to Brenham. I had two events in on day so the pressure was on again. I am learning slowly not to book anything else on out of town shoots. Taylor was getting her hair done in Humble so I proceed on to Brenham and planned to stop at Chappell Hill Sausage Company http://www.chsausage.com/ for lunch and wait for Taylor to catch up. This day was cold and blustery. I think it was a high of sixty which was not good for a bridal shoot with a bride in a halter type dress. Can we say goose bumps…?
We made it to the site and began. Already Taylor was making the connection. The wind was a little to fierce but we prevailed. I just had received my new ABR1600 and beauty dish and I could not wait to break it out. However I am liking more natural light right now and I trying to use it as much as I can with minimal supplemental light as possible.




I only brought the ABR1600 for some dramatic shots I had in mind with the old truck. Misty (my loving wife) had picked up some old suite cases from a garage sale and I brought them along as well to add to the drama. I love drama in the artistic sense of the word. For these images I broke out the ABR1600 and it was quite fun to see Derease bear down to hold the light steady. This is like 30 in salad bowel mounted on a flag pole and with an easy 25 mph wind it was quite entertaining watching her hold it. It was easy to beat the sun with ABR 1600 and created some images I enjoyed.
