Amy & Jason's Wedding In Los Angeles

2007-07-31T23:06:00.000-05:00

I had the great privilege of shooting this amazing wedding on what some have dubbed "the most popular wedding day of the century", July 7, 2007. Amy and Jason were married in Los Angeles, California in a little suburb called Bel Air. By the way, Fresh Prince says hi to all y'all! The ceremony was at Bel Air Presbyterian and the new fellowship building was christened for their reception. I posted a few shots here for everyone to see. We also did an online slide show for them. To go to the slide show click here. The rockin' voice behind the music to the slide show is none other than my good bud, Mike Cowart, who also happens to be an awesome photographer himself. To check out some of his other music, go to his website and listen in. A big thanks to Jess, Mandy and Lily Cates for the comfy bed while I was there.

Arin & Shawn's Wedding In Nashville

I shot this wedding a few weeks ago and just finished the online slide show for it today. The ceremony was held at the Christ Church in Brentwood and the reception at the Nashville City Club in downtown Nashville. I thought I'd put a few of my favorite images on my blog for everyone to see. To view the online slide show click here. Yes, the shoes were a very important detail. The girls rocked on their shoe selections! Big thanks to Arin & Shawn for making your wedding photography a priority. It's always nice to have time to get creative. Thanks to Michael Howard, too, for the referral. I'll get you back soon!

Christian Magazine ~Charisma~ Features Photo By Sonrise Photography

2007-06-18T12:41:00.000-05:00

When my family and I lived in Las Vegas, we attended an awesome church called The Church At South Las Vegas. Pastor Benny Perez (pictured) is the lead pastor and he and his church seem to be getting a lot of attention these days from the media. This is an article from the Christian magazine, Charisma. Take a few minutes and read it for yourself. If you're ever in Vegas and looking for a good time, you gotta check out The Church. It's better than the Vegas shows (and it's FREE, hello)!

Love My Kiddos!!!

2007-02-17T23:58:00.000-06:00

I love playtime with my kids! Every now and then I'll grab one of my cameras and shoot some photos. Every time I do, it makes me realize why I love photography. Kids just have the most incredible way of living life in the moment. They haven't learned yet to hide their emotions and to live self-consciously like all of us adults. You can definitely see their joy. Thank you, Lord, for my babies!

Amber & Tony's Wedding In Las Vegas

2007-02-13T21:46:00.000-06:00

Amber and Tony got married at St. Joseph Husband of Mary Roman Catholic Church in Las Vegas, Nevada. I had the privilege of shooting here once before and, lucky me, I just found out that Amber's sister is getting married in October 2007 in this amazing church and is flying me back to Vegas to shoot her wedding, too. Sweet! Tony also happens to be a Vegas fireman, so he arranged a little photo session over at the fire house before we made our way to the reception. We got some great fisheye shots on the fire engine. Definitely a first for me! Check it out.
