River Oaks: Mirella & Colby Hanks Wedding, my first solo wedding.

On Sunday April 29th Mirella Biessenberger and Colby Hanks got married at River Oaks. It will be a wedding I'll always remember not only because it was filled with beautiful moments but also because It was my first solo wedding as the main photographer (most of my work has been second shooting for established photographers in Lafayette).

Mirella is originally from Brazil, Colby is American. They incorporated a unique idea I thought it would be interesting to share with you, the newest "wedding fever" in Brazil: Toss the frog!

Brides choose to toss a stuffed Prince Frog instead of their beautiful flower bouquet.
The meaning behind is simple: the lady that catches the frog kiss it to find her handsome prince. Just like in a Fairy tale!

 And the single ladies who didn't catch the frog are given a Santo Antonio, the matchmaker saint, with the promise to be the next to get married soon. Isn't it an interesting and unique tradition?

Congratulations to a beautiful couple. Wishing you a wonderful journey as you build your new life together.

Hodges Gardens: Mirella & Colby

They enjoy each other’s company. Colby is silly, and Mirella laughs. Fun, beautiful, full of life and passion. Congratulations to this beautiful couple. Wishing you a wonderful journey as you build your new life together!

LFT Airport - Ruslan Comeaux Senior Pictures

Had a blast with Ruslan Comeaux Senior Pictures! He asked me about making some images around some cool cars, I asked him back what about if I can arrange a day for us to make a photoshoot at LFT Airport having a cool jet as a background? His eyes popped wide open and I knew he loved the idea (so did I)

Super Thanks to Bob Sandberg and Jimmy Justice for working out all the details and making it happen.

Here are some images of Ruslan's Senior Photoshoot:

These images hold a very special place in my heart; my very first children photosession done at Lafeyette, Lousiana a couple of years ago.

I took all my gear with me to the client's house (one light:))) and two backdrops (white and black) and didn't really had a plan in mind regarding posing, tricks, or anything special. My goal was to capture images that somehow showed their personality.

Loved, Learned, and I'll never forget it.
