I know I’m waaay behind in postings these days and have come to the realization that I just won’t be able to get to posting all my shoots, but this one was just too beautiful to not share. Josh & Jaclyn got married at the Dallas Arboretum on a beautiful, springtime-in-Texas evening & everything about their day was so gorgeous. I’m really growing to love shooting Southern weddings, they have such a different feel than California weddings; they just seem to know how to pull out all the stops. It’s all about the littlest details, hundreds of guests and lots of big hugs and how y’all doing’s. I hope you enjoy a little peek at their beautiful day. A special thanks to my favourite second shooter, Dallas-based photographer Heather Thorne, for all your help. Josh & Jaclyn, all the best as you start your Journey together.

    Kristin Murdock:

    Great, great, great work! Definitely worthy of selling like a….. well, you know. And I love the colorful logos you have added!

    Heather Thorne:

    aw, I just love working with you too! :) Thanks for the shout out. You rocked this one as usual! Beautiful work, girl!

    xoxo!

Babies & Bellies

One of my most favourite things to shoot ever. Could you find a more gorgeous looking pregnant woman or two any more adorable kids? Thanks to my sweet sister-in-law for sharing her beautiful (and ever-growing!) belly and family with the world.

    Kristin Murdock:

    Yay! Look at those cute little kiddies – and one more is coming!

    The Devers:

    aw….thanks…love the pics…so fun to document..even if it is the 3rd! 3 more weeks!!

Winter

03/07/09 | Travel
Spending most of our winters in Utah, there are often days too gorgeous to not capture with the camera. There’s something so serene and peaceful about winter. It’s interesting how nature’s darkest and sleepiest time still manages to exude so much beauty. Such is the beauty of God’s promises even in the midst of the bleakest moments. Be well in your Journey today, in whatever place it may find you. Good or bad. Take a moment to acknowledge the beauty around you.

    Kristin Murdock:

    The barn! It looks so good!
    Glad to see you are back online. :)

    Leah:

    Your pictures are gorgeous. Love and miss you!

i had such a fun time with this couple! they were so easy going and chill. it was one of the most relaxed weddings i’ve ever shot. and it was fun to see them on their wedding day after having shot their engagement photos over 10 months ago! everything about their day was just so lovely. -from the gorgeous ceremony site, the beautiful decor and the incredible tent! thanks guys, for letting us be a part of your day! blessings as your start your Journey….

Fall

10/02/08 | Travel

it’s been a busy end of summer for us. lots of weddings, lots of travel, and of course, lots and lots of photos to sort through! my hope is to post some of those in the next few days as i catch up on work, jet lag and sleep. ryan and i are currently in deer valley, utah, our second home, enjoying the GORGEOUS fall colours and the cool autumn climate! –quite a change from the warm and tropical climate of hawaii we were in just 4 days ago! i will try to post some photos from that soon too.

if you’ve never had the chance to catch fall in its most colourful corners of our beautiful nation, you really must put it on your to-do list! having grown up in southern california, you don’t experience seasons like you do in other parts of the country and world. i really feel i’ve missed out on autumn’s breathtaking and fleeting splendor! until now. never in my life have i seen colours like this! it’s so majestic and so, almost…holy. it really takes your breath away. our God is so artistic in His creation.

here are a few frames i shot early this morning. enjoy a glimpse of heaven. be well in your Journey.

    Kristin Murdock:

    Can’t wait for next fall!

    Elizabeth Miller Hunten:
