Vanessa and Christian

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

The week in review...

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 :)

Victoria Leigh

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!

Rachel's Bridals

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...

A great non-shooting day!!

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!

Chief Harold Hurtt

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!

Coffee Groundz

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!
