Wedding at The City Club in Dallas, Texas - Sara & Cullen

In June, I photographed Sara and Cullen's wedding in the Truett Chapel at First Baptist Dallas and their reception at The City Club of Dallas. Despite having lived in the Dallas area all of my life, I had never been up in any of the skyscrapers downtown until I shot this wedding! If I didn't have a wedding to shoot, I probably would've been glued to the windows all night, watching traffic accidents, the sun set over the city, and generally ogling the sights from one of the top floors of the Bank of America Plaza (also known as "the big green one"). You'll note that I did pry myself away in order to photograph the hoppin' dance floor and other good times being had at this wedding. Sara and Cullen are a heck of a lot of fun, and they and their friends and families were all so sweet to me. I even got escorted back to my car by Cullen's brother and sister-in-law at the end of the evening, which was much appreciated. Being a petite, young thang toting a lot of expensive photography equipment, I don't feel terribly comfortable walking alone next to the Greyhound station at 1 AM... Just sayin'.

Happily avoided muggings aside, there were good people, good times, good food, and good views, all of which makes for a great wedding to photograph. Sara and Cullen came to me by way of the very first wedding that I ever shot. It's always a huge compliment when my past clients refer me on to their friends, and this was no exception. Thanks y'all!

Christmas Family Portraits: The Dredge Family!

Fall is finally here! These 85°+ days sure don't feel like it, but the trees are telling a different story. I'm glad the leaves put on a show just in time for the Dredge family's Christmas card photos! I've photographed Allison several times before (as you might notice, she's the pretty lady in my header that I desperately need to update considering I shot those bridal portraits in 2009). This is the first time I've gotten to photograph her little one and her husband Devin though! They're a good-looking family, for sure.

Allison is a costume designer by trade, and I think it shows through in the awesome outfits she styled for the three of them. They'll be perfect for their Christmas cards. I look forward to getting my copy in the mail!

I do still have a few sessions available this month, in time to print photos for holiday cards and Christmas gifts. Contact me at cyrus.mary@gmail.com to discuss booking a session!

Montana!

I'm playing a little catch up right now, because last week I went on vacation to Big Sky, Montana! I think I'm all caught up on my emails now, but I have a bit of an editing queue built up from my last few weddings and portrait sessions, so I have late nights ahead of me for a week or two to come. I want so badly to dive into all of the photos from my trip right now, but I'm having to satisfy myself with editing just one photo per night. Here are the photos from the last 3 evenings, all shot on day trips into Yellowstone National Park.



It was a little cold. It was also breathtakingly beautiful.
