Ali and Allen were married earlier this year on an absolutely beautiful day at one of Houston's great Wedding Venues, Butler’s Courtyard . One of those days where you just know it is the nicest day of the year.
The team at Butler’s is absolutely fabulous. It’s like having a group of wedding coordinators at your wedding.
Thought I would start off by displaying some of the Engagement Session taken in the studio.

I seem to be shooting here more and more as of late. Butler’s Courtyard is an all in one facility. A great place to have your wedding and reception. This wedding was photographed there on 7/28/06.

For a good time, visit nancy and Janice at Butler's Courtyard.
There is a difference between a commercial photographer and an art photographer. 99.9% of all wedding photographers are commercial photographers, specialized in weddings. The commercial photographer produces photographs that are in focus, well lit, and capture a lot of detail. The commercial photographer is a flatterer. The Art photographer produces the kinds of photographs that are far more than simple information; they have attitude and context through the daring use of angle, depth, perspective, and light. Wedding photographs are art when people want a copy of them, even if they don’t know the bride and groom. I strive to become a better artist with every wedding I shoot.
I am an expert in the use of shadows in my photography, intentionally leading the viewer’s gaze to a predetermined destination in the image. My consistent and instinctual use of shadows in my photography is the signature element, and the underlying foundation, defining the easily identifiable style known as Solaris.
