Brandi & Tom will be getting married at The White House Ranch in October. We used the grounds as the backdrop for the engagement shoot, with me almost getting killed by fire ants in the process!! Word to wise, don't wear sandals in an open field...anyway, on to the photos.

It's just great getting the chance to network with other people in the wedding industry in a relaxed setting and it seemed like everyone had a good time. Here are a few people who contributed to the event, definitely check them out!

Bobbie wanted to do something a little more contemporary for her bridal session so I suggested we go to the Washington area near one of my favorite spots, Catalina Coffee Shop. It's a great, quite cafe to hang out in if you're ever in the area. Bobbie will be getting married this coming September so look out for her and her handsome fiance Kyle soon. Check her out!

Love 'em! The feel of the wedding was so great - a simple, country feel. You captured it (and the flowers) wonderfully!

Film: 500 Days of Summer
Cast: Zooey Deschanel, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Clark Gregg, Minka Kelly
Director: Marc Webb
Genre: Romantic Comedy
This was one of my favorite movies of the summer! I take that back...it's probably the best film I've seen all year!! With a year filled with GI Joe's, X-Men Origins, Transformers & Harry Potter, 500 Days was very refreshing to watch.
I love smart, witty comedies. I'm also a sucker for a good love story. This one has both. This is a great piece of storytelling from Marc Webb, guiding us through his unique take on the classic story of boy meets girl in a fun, modern fashion. I also thought the visuals and artwork in the film were amazing! The cinematography was excellent and complemented the story very well.
The two leads, Zooey & Joseph, do a very convincing job of portraying their characters in 500 Days. I think the average guy can relate to Joseph throughout the film and he was very entertaining to watch. I've been a fan of Zooey's for a while now, ever since I saw her in "Yes Man" and she didn't disappoint me in this one either. I think she's going to be one of the big stars in Hollywood to look out for.
Definitely go check this out if you haven't seen it. Everyone I've told to go see it so far has come back to tell me I didn't steer them the wrong way. Oh, and I almost forgot...the soundtrack to this movie is awesome! I downloaded it on iTunes after seeing the movie and the song selections are great. Makes me want to go and see it again ;)
