Here are some long overdue images from the wedding of Vanessa and Christian on November 8, 2008 in Houston, TX. They are a great couple and their wedding was a lot of fun to cover! This was one of those meant to be weddings for us because I've run into this couple all over Houston since the wedding :) Their wedding took place at the Houston National Golf Club and it is a great location for an outdoor ceremony. Ok, ok, enough talk...on to the photos :D
This has been on busy, crazy, hectic, but fun week! I had a great shoot with Dr. Trey Hadnott, did a last minute boudoir session with a wonderful young lady to surprise her boyfriend, new client meetings, coffee breaks, and finished it off with a great Valentines Day spent with my wife and son! I'll get back to posting photos this week - once I finally have everything edited :)
I had an awesome shoot with Victoria Leigh! For those who don't know her, she is a true professional! Here are a few photos from the shoot. If you're looking for a professional model, someone who shows up and needs no direction, then take my word for it, she's definitely one to work with!
Oh yeah...thanks to J.R. at The Coffee Groundz for letting us use the patio and to Christina Landrum at Open City for the use of their space! The Coffee Groundz and Open City are two of midtown's finest destinations!! Check them out and tell them Donnie sent you!
It's always nice to put on my wedding cap and this week I had the pleasure of working with Janet Grey of Rainy Day Photos capturing the bridals for Rachel's upcoming wedding. Rachel is a beautiful bride and, as always, it's great working with Janet!
Here are a few images from the shoot...
This has been one of those great days...no shooting involved....but I spent the day with my wife, landed 2 new clients, made some excellent contacts...and best of all..I spent the day with my wife :D
With our schedules it's not often we get to do this and it has been a lot of fun...we hung out at Coffee Groundz, drove around Houston, laughed, talked, and just chilled...tomorrow I pick the camera up again, but today was a nice little vacation!
As promised, here are the photos of Houston Police Chief Harold Hurtt shot for Monarch Magazine in January. My thanks to the Chief for taking time out of his schedule to meet with me and to the readers of my blog, if you have not read Monarch, check it out...it's available nationwide at most Borders and Barnes & Nobles!
After chatting with J.R. @ coffeegroundz on Twitter, I went by to check out The Coffee Groundz and it is an awesome place! Located in midtown, this place has everything...coffee, tea, full bar, food, and did I mention coffee - I'm now a Butter Toffee Latte fan! Free Wi-Fi, great patio, and best of all they are doing alot to help the environment...enviro-friendly delivery, coffee fertilizer - yep - coffee!
My thanks to J.R. for chatting with me and showing me around and I'm definitely going to head back....and for all of my photographer friends out there - this place is surrounded by some great shooting locations!! If you've never been, I highly recommend making it a regular stop...ask for J.R. and tell him Donnie sent you!
Here is a link to a story about the "Conversation with Dr. Maya Angelou" and a slideshow on the KHOU's website.
I am honored to have some of my images included in KHOU's slideshow coverage of the event.
WOW! This year already has one month under its belt! January was a truly amazing month. It started out with a photoshoot of Houston Police Chief Harold Hurtt for Monarch Magazine (photos coming soon) and midway through we had the Houston Powershoot (see below) and then the month ended with covering Dr. Maya Angelou (see below)!
It was a whirlwind month but now it's time for February...ok batteries are charged, memory cards are empty, let's get it done :D
I have a ton of photos that I am editing but some things just can't wait. I had the pleasure of photographing the truly amazing Dr. Maya Angelou tonight and wanted to share a few of the images. Dr. Angelou graced the city of Houston as part of the Brilliant Lecture series at the Hobby Center. It was an evening filled with amazing stories, some made you laugh and some made you cry but they all left you feeling blessed to be who and where you are in the life you have been gifted with! This was truly an event that I shall remember for years to come!
