Our Journey With Jessica

Yesterday on October 29th, 2008, Jessica Kaylors journey ended. Or possibly just began. It was a sad yet joyous day for the Kaylor family(read her blog to find out why). Jessica leaves behind a husband Jake, daughter Katelyn, daughter Jaydn, daughter Bryn, and hundreds if not thousands of loving family and friends.

A quote from Jessica's Blog on Oct. 23rd-

"I'll still post later tonight, but right now I wanted to post so that you could begin praying for sweet dreams for Jess. She of course is loved, supported, and cared for; but she is having horrible dreams in which no one cares about her and everyone has forgotten her. Jess sleeps a lot so would you please pray for sweet dreams for her?

Posted by Jacob at 1:43 PM"

We will ALWAYS remember you Jess, Sweet Dreams!





Please pray for Jake, Katelyn, Jadyn,and Bryn as they will need continued support to help them through.

Engaged: Amanda and James

What a great couple! I always love it when the couple realizes that the images are one of the most important aspects of the wedding day and Amanda has spoken to me twice about this now. It's true, like my website says: "Photography is an investment with much more than just monetary value."












Amanda and James will be wed on November 8th.
Congratulations to both!

Chris and Jeanne Wedding Peek

Usually I reserve this blog for my own personal photos, stories, and rants but today I thought I would try something new. Since I dont update my website very often most of you dont get to see what I'm working on from time to time. So I thought I would share a few images from the wedding of Jeanne and Chris which took place at a beautiful cabin in the Smokies on Saturday. Chris and Jeanne flew in from Brooklyn, NY and invited friends and family to a monstrous cabin near Gatlinburg for the celebration. The weather was perfect and it couldn't have been a more beautiful day.
Jeanne was absolutely amazing and very photogenic, here she is getting ready.



She was even willing to let me hang her dress off the balcony 3 stories above the ground. All of the guests that witnessed this looked very shocked and worried. But the dressed survived!
The ceremony was out on the deck and was beautiful, short, and sweet!


I love it when the bride and groom allot me plenty of time to capture beautiful images. I was given as much time as needed. You don't know how much stress that takes off of my shoulders! Thanks Jeanne.









The Cabin had plenty of amazing photo opportunities and even came with it's own movie theater. BYOP-Bring your own popcorn

The best man Greg was a hoot from Scotland and wore his kilt. By the way- it is true what they say;)



The reception wrapped up with a Rockband session played to some classic rock. Jeanne on guitar, and Chris on drums.... What a great day!

I wish you the best!

How-to Build a Faux Brick, Metal, Cool Wall. For Cheap!

Alright so the title says it all but....  During the process of trying to fix this wall we just said the heck with it, lets do something funky!  But I like the way it turned out and it will go great with the modern industrial look that I have planned for the "Gallery Room" anyway.

So If you would like to see the progression of the wall and a short how-to, just visit the link below:

Clicky!

Otherwise, here is the before and after:

Catching Up

So Ive been getting the new house organized and am really behind on my blogging duties. I found some old photos from before the move and though I would share them. These are from our day-trip to Dinosaur Valley State park in Glen Rose, TX. If you haven't been there It is a great place to go and relax in the water and just float around. There are quite a few dinosaur tracks that can be seen in the river and as you will see, some you can even sit in.









The new house has a few renovations already, I'll try and get around to posting those tomorrow.

Have a great one,

Matt
