AFA wedding: Morgan and Mark's album

To contact us Click HERE

[ Air Force Academy wedding ]
I've been delivering so many gorgeous albums (and this one was delivered quite a while ago!) and taking pictures of them before I let them go, but I never seem to have time to share. I have challenged myself to post a few pictures of some albums this week, just to show you what a beautiful heirloom they really are. This one is from Mark and Morgan's gorgeous wedding at the AFA Cadet Chapel and reception at Doolittle Hall. Wanna know what Mark said to Morgan when they received this beauty in the post? "This is the thing we grab if our house is burning down!" In all seriousness, a beautiful wedding album is the memento you will cherish most over the years, because it is the one tangible token that brings back floods of happy memories and emotions every time you look at it. It only becomes more precious over time. It's a treasure that you hand down to your children and grandchildren.

Morgan and Mark now have a brand new baby, so their priorities have shifted from "couple" to "family". I'm so glad they have this wonderful memento of their most romantic day to remind them of just how special it was.

The Cadet Chapel is dramatically beautiful any day of the year!


I just love a big double-truck spread like this in the middle of the album. Gorgeous!!!

Heads up: I have a new blog!

Exciting news! You've probably noticed that it's been a while since I've posted here, and that's because I was planning on launching a new blog in the near future. MONTHS later, I finally had a chance to sit down and do just that, along with completely rebranding my business. Stop by my new blog here: http://clickphotography.net/blog/ , and remember to add it to your RSS if you're a regular follower!


Exploring Houston: Soto's Cantina- Houston

Ah ... deliciousness! I am ALWAYS on the hunt for delicious Mexican food and this little visit was BEFORE I decided to go "no fried food" -- cause alas, those deep fried chips are OFF the diet for now!

I went online and was reading some reviews on restaurants in Houston and found one about this resturant which is pretty close to my house. If you are from Houston or have been here for any time, this is the family who used to own the La Parrada restaurant on 1960. They closed it down and opened this one: Soto's Catina.


Soto's outside
 It's REALLY cute on the outside and easy to find. When we went in, it was relatively quiet for a Saturday night - but within 30 minutes it was PACKED. That speaks for itself!

We ordered queso right away and it was good. I don't know if it's US and we're just killed our tastebuds with hot stuff or what, but once again, we had to ask for jalapenos on the side to jazz up the queso. Once those were added, we jumped on the train to Flavortown and it was ON. Nice queso!


We got the teeny one
 Their menu was GREAT. It was very nice and had pictures and was very descriptive. They even have some $17 steak on it which has apparently won awards, statewide. We didn't get it because I wasn't up for trying the steak AND a new restaurant all at the same time, not for $17!


I decided to go with a combo plate - just a little of everything. My plate also came with a "taco" which was al carbon- which just means like fajita meat as opposed to ground beef. Well this was ONE FANCY taco with queso and everything poured over it. Well ok, I'll take it! The beans and rice, which are usually the REAL test were EXCELLENT --- and we would totally come back to this place! I also ordered a chicken enchilada to really test it out because traditionally, I don't dig chicken in mexican food (except for fajitas).


Rice, beans tamale and chicken enchilada

Super fancy taco
 This was a great place and we'll be back! I recommend it and I'm sure the 200 people that were in there with us will recommend as well! The only bad thing was, upon getting home, we found out Whitney Houston had died and that will probably forever stay with me. Every time I go in here I will probably think about her. It makes me sad and sad/delicious Mexican food don't mix.

Here are a few favorites from Michelle & Jeremy's engagement portrait session last weekend at Fox Run Park. I love how the morning light filters through the trees here. We walked around the park and watched them hold hands and smooch a bit. The look in Michelle's eyes when she looks at Jeremy tells the whole story…check them out:
