A Winter Wedding Ceremony at The Springs Alvarado
It’s no secret that Texas has some of the best sunsets that hang over the midwest. A loving couple, a beautiful outdoor ceremony and well thought out outdoor wedding ideas make for stunning photos and videos. When we were offered the opportunity to capture the very first wedding at The Springs Event Venue in Alvarado, Texas in December, we couldn’t resist. We have been shooting weddings at The Spring’s venues throughout Oklahoma and Texas for several years and this particular wedding holds a special place in our heart. Hailee and Andrew are not only an amazing couple, but Hailee is the venue’s coordinator and has been apart of several of our weddings in the past.

An Elegant Evening to Remember at the Adolphus Hotel in Downtown Dallas
At the dawn of the 20th century Aldophus Busch, cofounder of Anheuser-Busch, debuted the first truly luxury hotel in the booming city of Dallas. The building was the tallest building in Dallas, standing at 22 stories, and remained so for over a decade. The Adolphus was built with Germanic castle stylings in mind, only in true Texas fashion, bigger. If you are someone who loves beautiful timeless craftsmanship, classic stylings, and an elegant atmosphere, then you will be in LOVE with The Adolphus, much the same as Elizabeth and Roy were.

How to Start Your Wedding Day Shot List - at the Milestone in New Braunfels
Have you ever gotten a group of friends together for a group photo and realized that someone has been left out? In a group setting, there is often a crazy amount of distraction going on that makes it easy to lost in the noise and celebration. The bad part about getting distracted when your trying to take a large group photo is that you may just leave out someone important. This is something that can happen all too easily during a wedding day if the photographer isn’t prepped with a solid list of people, groups, and combinations of photos to take at different times during the day. These types of photos can range from particular moments while everyone is getting ready or the most important combinations of family photos after the ceremony. Needless to say, if your wedding is coming up, save yourself the grief of leaving someone important out or missing a moment that you want by giving your photographer a well laid out group and a family shot list.

Our favorite Canon cameras and lenses at Marcela and Dalton's wedding
We get asked frequently 'what kind of cameras do you use at your shoots'? While different cameras do give slightly different looks out of straight out of the camera, it's really what type of lenses they should be specifically be asking about. Different lenses allow the shooter to get very different looking shots, and different types of shots, based on the situation you are shooting. In general, we tend to lean towards Sony gear for video projects, and Canon gear for photo projects; we love Canon cameras and all of the lenses we will talk about are for Canon EF mount cameras. A few of these lenses are not so expensive and a few of them are what would be considered the best of the best. The best way to help pick a lens is to show off what lenses we use for specific things getting ready photos, group photos, portraits, ceremony, and reception. Most all of the lenses we are going to mention can be interchanged throughout the wedding day and may vary based on the style and look you are going for. We recently shot a small wedding in Downtown Dallas at Four Corners Brewery for a young and hip couple named Marcela and Dalton. This wedding is a great reference to see why we use the lenses we use on a wedding day.
