When it suddenly started pouring on us, we quickly ran to the stairwell of this garage. I decided to take the risk of getting my equipment a little wet for a potentially great photograph. So I put up a light behind the couple and got them to have fun in the rain, this was literally the last shot from the shoot and it’s my favorite moment of these two!

This past Valentine's Day, Linda approached me for a photograph that her Valentine would truly cherish. We decided to shoot on the rooftop of a historic building in downtown Houston. This offered me a completely blank canvas to create a minimalistic yet bold image. With a little bit of my direction and that perfect breeze (total luck), her gorgeous dress fell into a perfect shape of a heart, and I froze that moment for her.

Shot in the Antelope Canyon approximately 100’ below ground, using only the available natural light from the opening above. I found a gate-like portal formation that I used to frame the couple within as they moved to their favorite tune.

The refreshing oasis at the Water Gardens Fort Worth gives you an amazing sound and sight experience as you descent the steps into the center of the pool. It is actually a natural brownstone fountain, but I changed the color temperature in camera to make it appear as blue as I could, and used a technique known as shutter drag to capture the water's movement.
