I've been working hard to find dependable, fun, creative wedding vendors to partner with in order to get the word and support for JWP out to the world. And when I attended a local wedding expo I met Katy and Justin behind a wedding design and event planning marquee. They call themselves Sweet Sunday, GREAT name!! These guys are doing some great things for the north Austin area and I'm sure they will be designing and supplying weddings all over Texas very soon! They recently had their retail Grand Opening and asked if I would come and take some detail shots of their creations and their shop. So here are a few samples of their hard work and wonderful creations! . 





















The Shop:

The good news is I don't think I'm going to run out of blog post material for a while. I've been backed up on all the things I've been shooting lately and just trying to catch up these days. I got the chance to go camping with some of my most loved friends Jim and Kristi a few weeks back. It was a major family event with I think 5 families total camping for the night! Not only did we get serenaded by campfire with some acoustic classics, but this is where I learned the amazingly dramatic and intense dice game of 4-5-6. If you want to know more...shoot me a comment! All in all, a great evening with great people and great weather! It was wonderful to meet new people and always great to see the Reagan's and Buddin's!

Take care everyone!










Don't you love a mo-hawked dog!!

Here in Austin we have definitely held true to 'April showers' the past couple weeks. Spring is such an amazing time and I'm finding that my love for photography is a great way to document these changes in life. I was in Brenham Tx. at Jen's family homestead and the mood was perfect. Perfect weather, a beautiful sunset forming, cold beer in hand, and wonderful people to be with. Oh, and did I mention the amazing smell of bbq ribs on the grill? uh, yeah!!

Nature gave me some inspiration that weekend and I decided to go for a walk which led me to some of these amazing images of God's wonderful work! Thank you Seeker's for being such a wonderful second family and I'm grateful for your love and willingness to share your home with me.

Enjoy these images of our Savior's creation and join me in thanking those who love us enough to support our growth!

Their music isn't so primitive, and in fact I was pleasantly surprised when I went to shoot my friends band for one of their downtown shows. These guys all have the day jobs, but find time to live their rock and roll dreams at night! I swung by Momo's to see them for the first time a couple week's back and really liked what I heard. They seem to like what they saw from the 30 min I was there invading the stage! Thanks for the good tunes and good times guys! Keep up the great work and living the dream! Primitive Noise

When working to find a location for Kasey's (posted here) head shot's she mentioned having a friend who lived downtown with a great view and was a 'super cool girl'. Both statements were spot on! Stacy Zoern opened her doors to us and in turn we glammed her up and took some head shot's for her as well. Stacy's written a book about her adventurous life called 'I Like To Run Too!' Inspiration is only one of the many words that I'm sure have been used to describe Stacy, but just in my short time of hanging out with her I found her to be contagious! Her laugh that is. With such a great outlook on life you can't find much to complain about when you get a chance to hang out with her. I'd reco checking out her book if you can...I'm in the process myself. (And I don't read books!!)

Here are a few of her images along with her leading man at the moment...Charlie. I couldn't get him to stop biting my shoes for some reason. Maybe a little protective of other guys coming into the homestead!

Thanks Stacy for letting us take over your apt. for the afternoon!
