Elysian Fields Prom Formals 2012

admin — Wed, 02 May 2012 22:17:25 +0000

So, you’ve already seen some of the fun photobooth pictures from the Elysian Fields Prom in Carthage. The pictures were delivered today, and I am very excited to share with you a few of the formal pictures from the event.

My awesome assistant, Luke, and I began taking pictures around 5:30pm. There was a great looking setup for taking regular outdoor pictures. We, as well as the people running prom, had no idea how many people would show up after dark! Luckily, we quickly came up with a plan B and began to take more pictures.

It was a really fun night and we got some amazing pictures. If you are an EF student or parent and have any questions about ordering more pictures, let me know. I am also available to take your senior portraits.

Family Pictures – Tyler Rose Garden

I’ve been sitting on these pictures for a few months, just waiting to share them. This family lives all over the state, and I go to church with some of them. We ventured out to the Tyler Rose Garden in Tyler TX for this shoot. It was really overcast with bad weather threatening to blow in. The families had also not eaten lunch yet and were ready to get these done as quick as possible. We used many different spots in the Rose Gardens for pictures, and they all turned out great!

I had a great time out at Carthage Country Club covering the Elysian Fields prom. Formal pictures were awesome, but you’ll have to wait to see some of those. This was the first commercial outing with our new Photobooth. In case you’re interested, the photobooth is available for weddings, events, and parties. It starts at $400 a night and offers up to 200 4×6 prints (printed on site for guests to take home).

Kristin and Devin Wedding

Kristin – Bridal, Fort Worth Stock Yards

I’ve been super excited to post these, but haven’t been able to because of the nature of weddings. We met the Friday after Thanksgiving to head out to the ForthWorth’s Stock Yard District to take some bridal pictures. It was just slightly overcast. We met early in the afternoon. It got dark quickly and people began to flood the area as we took these, but they turned out GREAT!

Kristin and Devin Engagements

I was very excited when I was asked to do this shoot. Why do you ask? Well, Kristin is my cousin. I’ve known her her whole life. I’ve known Devin since he was probably 12 or 13. They are great people, and they are getting married! Our day started off with crazyness. About 30 minutes before the shoot, it began to downpour in the tiny town of Marshall. Most of our photos were planned to be outside. After some frantic searching and calling, I found out that we had a small 45 minute window to use the upstairs of historic Weisman Center in Downtown Marshall. They drove 3 hours to take these pictures. Hopped out of the car at my home, changed, then sped over to the Weisman Center. We used all the time we could. When our time was up, we went outside. It was overcast and humid. Luckily, Kristin only really sweats on one place…her upper lip?! Random, I know. But the heat and humidity did not do as much damage as it could. I brought my trusty brother-in-law sidekick, Tim Darst to assist with the shoot. He was a great flash stand holder .

Taylor and Alyssa Weaver Wedding

You may or may not remember these two awesome people from an earlier shoot…

Taylor is a great friend. I went to school with him for my undergraduate degree, and we are about to start our Masters program in Religion together at ETBU. He and his new bride Alyssa have played a great role in our youth ministry as well.

Taylor and Alyssa were married at Enoch’s Stop and Winery in Harleton, TX. It was a beautifully HOT June evening. The ceremony was at 7:00pm. There was an interesting thing that happened. A grass fire was blazing somewhere nearby filling the beautiful scenery full of a smoky haze (a different haze than the humidity of East Texas). The haze, however, kept the temperature down a few degrees.

The ceremony was awesome, officiated by the Dean of ETBU’s Religion Department, Dr. John Harris. For me, it was a great time of catching up with friends and spending time with some of my favorite people. We lost light fast, so I had to bust out my dual flash setup for the pictures after the ceremony. We did the best with the conditions we had. My lovely wife, Sarah, held one stand steady in the wind, while my brother in law, Tim, held the other.

The reception happened inside the lodge at Enoch’s Stomp. Taylor and Alyssa…ok, probably just Alyssa and her crew…did a GREAT job of decorating the place. I brought the flashes in to the lodge, and they provided some AMAZING light. All in all, it was an awesome ceremony with an awesome family.

Family

One of the joys of being a photographer is being able to take pictures of my own kiddos. I love them so much! Colin just turned 4 and Carley just turned 1. They are some beautiful kids. Being a Dad is awesome!
