Doing It In Style
There are so many details that a bride must consider when planning her special day. Besides the big stuff like location and food, the decorations are pretty important as well. What decor will perfectly set the tone for the special event? Everything from the pew bows to the table centerpiece at dinner. There's a lot to consider.
Father/Daughter Wedding Dance Surprise
At a recent weeding I photographed, the father/daughter dance ended with a comical surprise. It's normal for a wedding reception to include an emotional dance between daddy and his little girl. At this particular wedding the pair stopped mid song and broke into a hysterical choreographed number for all the guests to enjoy. I wish I had video for you to see, but here are a few photographs I shot.
Melissa & Cody
Melissa and Cody tied-the-knot at The Orchard in Azle. Country elegance at its best and such a great location for this awesome couple.

Mat Slovacek
This weekend I had the privileged of photographing a super talented country artist Mat Slovacek.
At age 16 Mat started auditioning for singing competition
like Nashville Star, Can you Duet and more and really testing his vocal skills. He made it to the second round of season 8 of American Idol and then was a stand out on the premiere season of X Factor making it to the top 32 guys out of over 100,000 people that auditioned and appeared and sang on the national TV show. All four judges including Simon Cowell and L.A. Reid loved his audition; put him through to the Los Angeles portion of the competition and LA. Reid even said it was the best they had seen yet.
After X Factor Mat returned to Texas and started a little band playing many college bars and other venues with some great success and helped in developing his stage presence and his live performance. He shared the stage with some great performers like Stoney Larue, Roger Creager, Johnny Cooper, No Justice and many more.
Mat draws his inspiration from many things and people. People like Eli Young Band for their persistence, Garth Brooks for his live show and Sean McConnell for his incredible writing and performing and when you see and hear Mat you will understand how he has used these and many more to develop himself in many areas.
Now in the process of finishing his first solo cd Mat has already worked with a Grammy award winning producer and another whose credits include Eli Young Band, The Eagles and Josh Abbott. Mat is an extremely hard working, self driven man that has huge goals and dreams and the talent and work ethic to get him there.
Where you can find Mat:
