Beautiful Sunset!

Last Thursday we shared the evening with Jackie and Andres shooting their engagement session and we saw one of the most beautiful sunsets that we have seen at South Padre Island in quite a while. We were originally supposed to do the engagement session the previous Sunday, but we were cancelled out by rain. I checked the radar on Thursday before we headed out and there were some showers off shore. We were still concerned about the weather, but we decided to go for it. After all, it would just be a little water.

Fortunately, the rain stayed away and we had beautiful weather. We walked out to the bay and the sunset was gorgeous. But, then as we were walking back to the vehicles I looked back and the clouds were lit up by the sun that had already set. Thank goodness for those showers off shore that were providing the clouds.

For those of you that don't know me very well, I love sunrises and sunsets. There is just something about them that gets my blood pumping. I love photographing them or just watching them. As a matter of fact, if we have the photos that we need for the shoot. I often encourage whoever we are photographing to just enjoy watching the sunset for the last minute or 2 of the evening. We all just soak it in.

We met Jackie almost a year ago and we have been excited about photographing her wedding ever since. She has one of those bubbly personalities that is contagious and she is such a sweetheart. Jackie and Andres get married next month and we can't wait to document it for them.

So, here are some of my favorite engagement shots from Jackie and Andres.

Rain, Please Go Away!

Rain, please go away! I am sure that is what Mark was saying, praying and dancing to on his wedding day. Mark and Christina had a beautiful backyard wedding. Although they were prepared for rain (just in case), the rain stayed away during the ceremony and reception. Not so though during the day. I was in the area around 3PM and it had just poured. Mark said that thank God, Christina was getting her hair done on the other side of town where it didn't rain.

Here are some of my favorites from the evening. To see a slideshow, go to www.PreciousImages.net/Christina

Kandice and Jason

You all might notice that there has been a recurring type of photo in some of our recent shoots. We have been fortunate to get a silhouette from most of the recent shoots that we have had. We enjoy capturing the silhouettes and when you have a beautiful sunset in the background, they turn out awesome!

A little over a week ago we did an engagement session with Kandice and Jason at South Padre Island. The weather cooperated and we had a beautiful sunset, looked for an alligator, got to see some ducklings and just generally had a great time. Kandice and Jason are such a great couple and we had a blast doing the engagement session. We can't wait for the wedding in October. It is going to be a blast!

Here are a few of my favorite photos from the session. To view a slideshow of some of our favorite images from the session go to www.PreciousImages.net/Kandice
