  • With Thanksgiving coming around the corner, the travel, the family time, etc, I'm not gonna be posting any photos to my feed. I could be trying to share some new photos, but I've been swamped with work and just overall life.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I'll of course still be active on stories, but I won't be doing any work for the remaining week. I'm spending my evening in Waco to finish up a few things before I go on my week-long break. And once we get back to Waco, I'll be heading up to Austin the very next day, heading back that night, then a few days later heading back to Austin again.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I'm doing much better to the adjustment of the Waco move compared to last year, but it's all still a lot for me to do work-wise and travel-wise. It'll be a much-needed break before more craziness hits again.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Oh, and I just remembered that I need to find new health insurance tonight since I won't really have any more time to do so before the deadline. Ugh. These are the joys of being self-employed that nobody talks about - having to choose expensive healthcare.
  • I love when I’m at a wedding and it starts to feel I’m at a rock concert. Loved this moment at Ashley and Bobby’s wedding. I’m pretty sure there was lots of tequila involved by this time. Lol. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This was edited with my custom DVLOP preset that I call "With The Lights Out". . . . . #sanantonioweddings #austinweddingphotographer #sanantonioweddingphotographer #austinwedding #houstonweddingphotographer #houstonweddings #dallasweddingphotographer #dallaswedding #austinwedding #sanantoniowedding #houstonwedding #texasweddingphotographer #destinationweddingphotographer #austinphotographer #texaswedding #austinweddings #dvlop and #dvlopmoments
  • In the midst of non-stop work. I realized that I hadn't shared a preview from Jess and Trent's wedding a few weeks ago. I've been focused on working on weddings in order to make sure I get everyone their photos as quickly as possible. Plus, with holidays coming up, I don't want to fall behind.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It's been full on madness like it always is this time of year. But in a good way. I fucking love what I do. It's seriously a rush of energy. And compared to last year when I was adjusting to the driving back and forth throughout Texas, this year, I've got shit down. It's normal life to me now.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Today though, my body is feeling it. I'm packing up my bags and about to make a stop in Waco. Check on the cat, maybe eat, and then make my way up to DFW this evening to pick up my wife from the airport. She's been in Atlanta for a conference. Then tonight, we head back to Waco. I mapped it out. I'll be driving over 450 miles today.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Tomorrow, I'm making it a point to focus on myself. Gonna take it easy. Maybe take a bubble bath, exercise, meditate, and overall not work much other than emails and tiny admin stuff. The day after it starts back up with more editing, meetings, and prepping to drive to next week's wedding in just a few days.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ That's really what I'm getting at with this. I love what I do. I work my ass off and pretty much don't stop. But the key to maintaining this non-stop lifestyle is to take some time to stop and recover before burn out sets in. It's important to me that I take care of my body. Otherwise, I can't be at my full potential for my job, my clients, and my family.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ For those of you who work for yourself, please make sure you take at least a day for yourself and your health. Never feel guilty for this. It helps you continue to do your best. And if you're a wedding photographer like me, you can't request a sick day off on a wedding day.
  • Been a little quiet on here lately and it's cause in the past few days I've been on the road, photographed a wedding, delivered 3 wedding galleries and designed their album layouts. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Somewhere in the midst of all that, I also launched a brand new website.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What did I do today? Well, I just blogged 2 more weddings and did last month's accounting. Later on this evening, I'll be finalizing 1 of those 3 album layouts with a couple.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Tomorrow, I head to Austin for a session, then head to San Antonio for a wedding rehearsal the following morning. Saturday, I photograph a wedding. Sunday, I leave San Antonio, head up to DFW to pick up @amandadawnhernandez from the airport that night and head back to Waco.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Life. Has Been Full On!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What's something you're proud of right now? Or excited about? .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #sanantonioweddings #austinweddingphotographer #sanantonioweddingphotographer #austinwedding #houstonweddingphotographer #houstonweddings #dallasweddingphotographer #dallaswedding #austinwedding #sanantoniowedding #houstonwedding #texasweddingphotographer #destinationweddingphotographer #austinphotographer #texaswedding #austinweddings #dvlop #lookslikefilm #pbxp

  • If you’ve been following me for a while now or have worked with me, you know I’m all about the real moments than the staged ones. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Recently, I hung out with Nikk Nguyen at a workshop and styled shoot he was doing. I enjoyed hanging out and was mostly snapping behind the scenes stuff. However, a few times I would snap a few photos of the models or beautiful details. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Once again, although I’m not into staged shots and this wasn’t a real wedding, I wanted to share this one I got because it’s a real moment. And to be honest, everyone who was a part of this was absolutely amazing. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Workshop: @nikknguyenphoto Design/Coordination: @xomoreauweddings Florist: @foxgloveandgrace Hair & Makeup: @lustrebella Venue: @theaddisongrove Models: @grace.muawad Jewelry: @shaesby Dress boutique: @unbridaled Dress designer: @taralatour . . . . #sanantonioweddings #austinweddingphotographer #sanantonioweddingphotographer #austinwedding #houstonweddingphotographer #houstonweddings #dallasweddingphotographer #dallaswedding #austinwedding #sanantoniowedding #houstonwedding #texasweddingphotographer #destinationweddingphotographer #austinphotographer #texaswedding #austinweddings #lookslikefilm #dvlop #pbxp
