    As a computer science major, one of the suggested requirements to graduate was to get involved in an extra curricular activity on campus. I thought the newspaper would be the place for me - I had always been commended for my writing skills and I had just left my post as head of our rogue high school newspaper.

    The conversation with the editor did not go as planned; she was insistent upon needing a photographer and I just wanted to write. I guess I wore her down, she let me submit a story - a humorous detail about the parking situation at school. It had the laughs, tears, and pizzazz of an award-winning article. It would change the world! But it never got published. Instead, she handed me a camera and ushered me out the door for my first assignment.

    And that's how I became a photographer. I don't have a great story about growing up with a camera in my hand. My life on the newspaper was an anything but glamorous array of rolled film (yes, I said the f word), developer and deadlines.

    Here I am 13 [eek] years later and I can say that this is exactly where I want to be and I shoot fabulous people.

Katelyn & Justin :: Marty Leonard Chapel Ceremony

The ceremony at Marty Leonard Chapel was intimate and lovely, officiated by Justin’s uncle Mike.  There were tears of joy and moments laughter, all of the hallmarks of a beautiful new union.

Lauren Aves - GORGEOUS dress! Gorgeous photography :) . Great job, Lynn!

Katelyn & Justin :: details & first glance

I met Katelyn at the chapel months before the wedding and we spent hours talking about her wedding. Hours. We left the chapel because we needed internet access and spent a few more hours at Central Market, sharing dessert and searching the web for additional ideas that went with the vintage chic vision. She as my kind of bride – vintage chic and modern, with a deep love of fluffy desserts. (We had the lemon tart in case you were wondering).

I was beyond ecstatic to learn that she and Justin wanted me as their wedding photographer and even more excited to see their wedding day come together.

Windy day at Marty Leonard. Perfectly placed tree and sliver of sunlight. Glorious.

Katelyn and Justin wrote letters to one another that they shared together before the wedding day. I’m sure you are just entranced by them as I was.

“Hey Viv – take this picture!” I’m surprised she doesn’t bite my fingers off as often as I get in her way.

When you leave Cindy & Viv alone with my camera, I get a lot of shots of my butt.

I don’t even know what to call this face, but I’m scared of it. O so scared of it.

Doesn’t every photographer end their day wearing the groom’s tie and holding up the bride’s boots? I can actually just tried to bit her knee only moments before. So normal for me.

Payal & Jaykishan :: getting ready

Payal and Jaykishan expanded our knowledge of the world by thrusting us into a gorgeous  Hindu engagement ceremony. Over two hundred guests attended the ceremony at the Hilton Garden Inn in Lewisville where Jaykishan officially proposed to Payal in front of their family and friends. The wedding is set to take place in India and I cannot be more excited for these two lovely people. They know how to laugh, and do so often. And compliment each other so very well.
