Wedding Season in Full Swing!

Things have been crazy around Happily Everlasting. I have photographed seven weddings in the last five weeks. We have had the pleasure of working with a lot of great couples! I will post a few recent wedding images soon.

For now, here are a few pictures from an engagement session that I did out in west Texas earlier this week with Jenni and Josh. They are an awesome couple and I am looking forward to photographing their wedding later this year.

Lena + Paul

A few days ago I met Lena and Paul at the campus of their old alma mater—OU. I had a blast strolling around campus capturing fun shots of the two of them. They are getting married in a couple of months. Unfortunately I was already booked on their wedding day, but my good friend and associate photographer Christian Sangree is going to capture it for them. It sounds like it will be an amazing event!


...and Lena showing off her pool sharking skills in the student union building!

OU has cool red phone booths spread around the campus. I love them!

Kevin's Senior Shoot

Kevin was a lot of fun to work with! He did great relaxing and he even busted a few G.Q. moves. Its always fun getting to work with senior guys and getting to know them a little during the course of a session.

All of you seniors that are still on the fence for your senior pictures.....its not too late! We are still booking sessions for class of '07 seniors and we even have a few priority sessions available so that you can get your pictures back ASAP. Just give us a ring and we will get you hooked up with some super hip pics!

Little Jaycee

I couldn't resist putting a few of these pictures up! Jaycee is an adorable little girl I have had the opportunity to photograph a couple of times now. She has amazed me each time by how willing she is to play and pose!

Collages.net—National Images of the Week

We started using a national service called Collages.net last year. With it we can put images online after sessions and weddings for our clients to order prints. The service offers a ton of functionality and flexibility, our customers have loved it! This week it was an honor to see that they chose one of our sessions for their national website of the week.



They chose Engagement pictures that I took of Janelle and Kyle last week. They were such a great couple to work with and were great sports....despite the strong wind. Kyle has "hooked" Janelle on fishing during their relationship so we got a few fun fishing images out at one of the lakes in Oak Tree Country Club. Below are a few of my favorites images.

The Ultimate Bridal Event- A Big Hit!

For the past six or eight months I have worked with a group of vendors in Edmond to start the Edmond Wedding Society. EWS is basically a group of vendors in Central Oklahoma (mainly Edmond) that have teamed together to inspire and educate brides that wish to make the wedding of their dreams a reality.

Sunday the Edmond Wedding Society hosted its first event—The Ultimate Bridal Event. About 150 brides, grooms, and family members came to Gaillardia Country Club to hear from many of Oklahoma's top wedding professionals. About 10 vendors spoke to the group—sharing a lot of helpful tips and insights and around 30 vendors displayed their products and services. Gaillardia is such a beautiful venue and the event was a huge success! I am very happy to be a part of EWS and the great group of vendors it represents.

Here are a few pictures that Christian Sangree (my great friend and associate photographer) snapped on Sunday.

We had a great crowd. Here Valerie Naifeh welcomes the group.

My parents setup a display for their awesome businesses, Inspirations Tea Room and the Two Hearts Inn.

Patti and I were amazed with Cocoflow's pink (strawberry white chocolate) and green (mint white chocolate) fountains. Major yum!



Mishelle Handy is a great wedding cake designer. We see her cakes at weddings all of the time and they are always beautiful!

Christian shot this during my moment in the spotlight.

D'Plazzo showcased a few of their gowns during their presentation.

Gaillardia is a beautiful venue and definately worth a consideration for all of you brides-to-be!

Kelleigh and Jared's Engagement Pictures

I was looking back through my blog posts and noticed I haven't put up any recent engagement sessions. Last week I did Kelleigh and Jared's and we got a lot of fun and unique images. They are such a great couple and I am looking forward to their wedding this June. I photographed Kelleigh's sister's wedding last fall and am really looking forward to working with the Dean family again.

The studio continues to be busier than ever! Last week we did a record number of sessions in a week only to break that record with this week's schedule. It is a great time of year for pictures, so don't hesitate to call and schedule!

Studio Makeover!

We have just completed a studio makeover! We have created three new looks by faux finishing, adding some paneling and some new fixtures. We also just purchased a bunch of new furniture for use in studio portraits. We are excited about all of the fun new possibilities. I will post some of our recent studio images soon, but for now here are a few of Patti (my beautiful wife and business partner) that were taken with our new concrete wall.

Happy Spring!

Spring is here! We have been enjoying the great weather, shooting a record number of sessions at the studio and around town. A big "THANK YOU" to all of you who have sent friends and family our way lately. It seems as if our business has exploded in the past couple of months.

Here are a few new pictures of April and Oliver. I took them in one of the new corners of our camera room. We have several awesome new looks available in studio. Feel free to drop by the studio to check them out and we can plan the perfect session for your family.

Happy Birthday Savannah!

I had the opportunity to take some 1 year birthday pictures for Savannah late last week. She is adorable, so I thought I would put a few pictures up here.

This reminds me, we are in the process of remodeling the camera room in our studio to provide some awesome new "sets" and backgrounds. I will upload some new pictures when we get everything together.
