Maureen & Jerry - Wedding - After Ceremony

We did a few formal portraits immediately after the wedding ceremony and I loved that the backdrop was a judge's bench. This, I honestly think, is my favorite picture from the wedding. You can just read the joy and happiness on their faces and I love that! :)

Enjoy,

Maureen & Jerry - Wedding - Ceremony

They had a very intimate wedding and the ceremony was held at the courthouse. I had never shot a wedding in a courthouse before, so that was new for me. :)

Maureen & Jerry - Wedding - Before Ceremony

Maureen and Jerry were great to work with!

How did I meet them you ask? Well, I took pictures of their dogs! After their little mini-session with me I joked and told them when they are ready to plan their wedding I would love to do the photography.

Fast forward a few months.....I got a call from Maureen to shoot her wedding! I NEVER thought I would get a WEDDING from a pet photography 'gig'!

These were VERY special shoes for Maureen and you will be seeing a lot of pictures of them!



Looking at the flowers and showing the flower girl and her mom.

Maureen helping her soon to be husband get his flower in place....I really wish there was an easy way to pin those darn things on!Enjoy,

Angie & Family - at the creek!

Angie and her family were fantastic to work with! This was their first professional portrait session and Angie wanted everything to be perfect (like it should be!). We talked multiple times on the phone discussing locations, clothing, and the dreaded "what if" questions when behavior (from kids) comes into play.

I reassured her on everything and they decided on the "secret creek" as I am calling it.



And, I will admit it now, after the session....but, "I" was really nervous because Angie was so nervous that they wouldn't get "one good picture"! :) I KNEW they would, but I had never had a client concerned about it before! But, everything went fabulous! :) The weather was perfect, the water was a little chilly to cool us off, and the lighting was spot on!


Abigail did wonderful also! She loved the water and was very well behaved and really just enjoyed herself. Minnie also sent me a card, along with Abigail, to tell me that they had a great time! (Thanks Angie!)

Angie, thank you so much for trusting me and I was thrilled to hear that you loved the pictures! You really made my day each and every email you sent telling me how much you all loved them! I was hoping my head would fit through the door with you pumping up my ego like that! haha

I am glad I was the photography to "make your Mother's Day"! :)

Testimonial - Wedding Diane & Sean

Sean and I could not have picked a more wonderful and talented photographer. Andrea Pender was more than accommodating and a pleasure to work with. She met us at the Dallas Arboretum for our engagement photo shoot, followed by a fabulous (but cold and windy) bridal shoot in the Stockyards, and finished with our wedding at the YWCA Grand Ball Room. She was able to capture who we really are as a couple. My favorite part was her sense of style, and genuine concern to make sure we were happy. We can't wait to have her shoot our new addition to our family! Thanks Andrea!
Sean & Diane Piganell


This is really only the tip of the iceberg, you truly have been wonderful!

Testimonial - Pictures from the creek!


For Mother's Day, I asked for only one gift....family pictures. I chose Andrea because I'd seen, and liked, her work, style, and personality. I wanted just ONE picture that I could treasure. Well, I got many pictures, so many that I had an extremely hard time picking which ones we should ultimately get printed. When I received my much anticipated gift on Mother's Day, I cried. Not only were the pictures absolutely stunning, but Andrea had sewn a decorative bag of fabric to put them in. It was her attention to detail and her willingness to go above and beyond that put the icing on the cake. I couldn't be happier with my pictures. They are truly a gift that I'll treasure forever! I'm singing Andrea's praises to everyone I know. Her talents, work ethic, and passion for what she does make her top notch in my book!

Enjoy,

Andrea

Author - Jill Myles

Meet Jill Myles! She is a romance author and I was lucky enough to take her headshots for her first book that is being published soon! How exciting is that?!

I, of course, asked her where she found me....and she told me that she found my blog. So, what does that mean to ME?! I need to start writing better on my blog! I WAS an English major! So, I will tell you more about my clients, etc....and 'engage my audience' more! :)

Jill's website is: JillMyles.com and it has all kinds of information about her upcoming book and there are some FREE stories to read!

Good luck Jill and I can't wait to say that I know you when you get that book published! Trust me, I will be telling everyone (and of course....showing them the back with the pictures I took! haha).

Enjoy,

Vendor Recommendation - Rhinestone Fab*u*less

Jana Mitchell owns Rhinestone Fab*u*less

She does awesome rhinestone design.

If you can dream it, she can put rhinestones on it....and if you can't dream it...she will help you come up with something awesome.

She would be great for you, wedding related, to do rhinestones on shirts, jackets, etc....that says Bride, Maid of Honor,....or "soon to be Mrs. xyz....".

I have even seen tiny little rhinestones on the bottom of wedding shoes that say "I do" (the part that doesn't touch the ground of a high heel) that was pretty cute! (When you are kneeling at the alter that can be read and I love it!)

She is doing a few shirts for me with my logo in rhinestones that match my colors exactly!
