Here are the judge's comments:
It's all about the hands - but that is clear. It's rare that everything aligns in one instant. Well done.

Ashley and Blake were married at the East Texas Arboretum in Athens TX. It was a beautiful outdoor wedding!

Ashley and Blake will receive a free 4x6 print for every comment left on their blog entry from now until the end of June.

Amber and Mark were married at the beautiful Park Cities Baptist Church in Dallas, TX. The guys came dressed and ready which is why there are so many photos of the ladies. After the ceremony we headed over to the Texas Discovery Gardens for the reception. As you can see, everyone had a good time. Congratulations Amber and Mark! We hope you like this small preview.

Amber and Mark will receive a free 4x6 print for every comment left on their blog entry from now until the end of June. I'm giving away 4x6 prints now because I can process them quicker.

I've been a bad blogger! Never again! :)

Meet Rachel and James. They were married 135 miles west of Dallas in De Leon, TX. The reception was held at Par Country Club in Comanche. Rachel is friends with Jessica (whose wedding I shot last June) and really liked Jessica's wedding photos. She booked us and we're glad she did! Thanks for trusting us with this day and for this glimpse into your lives. Here's a small preview.

We recently shot Melissa and Sam's wedding at The Gardens at TWU. The reception followed at the Holiday Inn at Denton. Sam is from Australia and plays rugby for Denton RFC. He's the real deal. But, despite his height, the goatee, and the fading shiner, I was struck most by his gentleness with Melissa. We had a lot of fun. On to the photos!

Melissa and Sam will receive a free 5x7 print for every comment left on their blog entry from now until the end of May.

A gift and card from Sam is delivered to Melissa's room.

See that card?

See that card again? Yes, Sam and Melissa bought each other the same card!

The flowers.

If you don't dance, rugby players will make you dance. They will move your hands for you. No kidding.

Out of nowhere Sam slides across the dance floor.
