Snooki greeted her fans yesterday in Allen at the Perfumania at the Allen Outlets.  I have to say she is super sweet and very down to earth.  I loved how she wanted to make sure that each fan did get a picture with her and there were over 500 people there.  You can tell she is very gracious and her fans mean a lot to her.

We had the back room decked out for her including a popcorn bar from Le Popcorn, of course a jar of pickles, cupcakes, fresh fruit and all sorts of yummy goodies and drinks.

The amazing team that worked so hard to make this event fabulous for Snooki and her fans.

When Nicole aka Snooki arrived she was so warm and friendly and greeted everyone that worked to put this event together.

Dani with Make-up by Dani did some touch-ups for Nicole.

She took the time to sign copies of her book for those waiting to meet with her, so sweet of her.

Yep Snooki had a few guys want her to sign their chest haha

We really enjoyed having you here in Dallas Snooki and I know your fans really enjoyed how sweet you were to each of them.

A huge shout out to everyone involved who made this event a smashing success.

I just loved working with Mark and Jamie, these two are so much fun and so in love.  We had a blast during their engagement session and at their beautiful wedding at the Dallas Arboretum.  I received this Thank You postcard in the mail a few days ago and  wanted to share because this truly validates what we do as wedding photographers.  They had the sweetest things to say. “Thank you so much for being our photographer! We love our photos and we love you. You did such a great job managing our wild families and captured some awesome moments! Thank you so much, you did a wonderful job! Jamie and Mark”

Plus I want to say Thank You to Mark and Jamie for the Thank You card, haha that does sound a bit funny but you get the drift.

I also want to announce our Holiday Sale because we love this time of year so much.  We are offering 10% off our 2 photography wedding packages through January 15, 2012. I normally don’t extend this to destination weddings but I’m going this time.  In other words, you don’t have to be a Dallas or Fort Worth Bride to get the 10% off your wedding photography.  We love photographing weddings all over and we love to travel.  So contact us today to book your package.  Dates are filling up quickly for 2012 and we cap our weddings at 25 for the year so we can focus on delivering quality photos and customer service to our brides.

I hope everyone had a very Happy Thanksgiving and enjoyed spending time with their loved ones.  Now that Thanksgiving has come and gone, its time to turn the focus to Christmas, YAY!!!!  It’s my favorite time of year.  This year Ray and I braced Black Friday at Target for a Christmas Tree and decorations, yep that’s us the one person standing in line for 2 hours at 1am without a TV.  We wanted a grown-up Christmas tree this year so we could retire our sad Charlie Brown tree from CVS that my parents bought us 5 years ago to go into our apartment.  We ended up taking it to our house and have been here 4 years and this will be the first year that we have a real (well fake but you know what I mean) tree.   I can’t begin to tell you how excited we are, yep we’re silly but it means something to us  We have also started buying little Christmas things to help decorate the house and get into the spirit of Christmas.  Plus we will be hosting Christmas this year so we want our house to look festive when everyone comes into town.  I hope you enjoy the pictures and feel free to share yours as well as I always love to be inspired

Dr. Idean and Lexi tied the knot this past Friday, on 11/11/11, at the Stoneleigh Hotel in Dallas. They truly are a couple that remind you what a wedding is all about, love and they have an abundance of it.  It’s a great reminder of why I love photographing weddings, I just love capturing that emotion, that love between two people pledging to spend their lives together.  Every time they looked at each other, their eyes would light up, and I was lucky enough to have the chance to photograph that.

While we were finishing up formals before the ceremony, the cake arrived.  Lexi’s sister Alyssa made the cake topper and I just love the reaction Lexi has when she sees it for the first time.

LOVE this picture of Lexi, red is most certainly her color!!!!

I love all the little details that made up the table centerpieces!!! Gorgeous crystal pieces that sparkled with the candlelight.

Lexi’s uncles played their saxophones during dinner and OMG they are so talented, I honestly could have listened to them play all night.

I love capturing the reactions of the bride and groom when a speech is given talking about their love for each other.  Priceless!!!

Weddings have the traditional bride & groom dance, the father/daughter dance, and the mother/son dance.  Well Lexi also wanted to recognize how special her parents are and they had their own special dance.  It was so sweet to watch and I cried during the whole dance, seriously!!

Congratulations Dr. Idean and Lexi!!!!! Thanks for having us as your wedding photographers, we had so much fun capturing your special day!!!

We are taking the plunge and doing a magazine ad in Dallas Brides.  We need your help though.  We have narrowed it down to 5 images (which was super hard to do by the way) but can’t decide which one is the most eye-catching, makes you stop and look image.  So please help us decide by leaving a comment with your favorite one.

One thing we do ask is for an honest opinion and as tempting as it may be to pick the one with the person you know, we ask that you pick the image that is truly the most eye catching.  We appreciate your help in advance
