We made it to Spain…..

We made it!  It was a long trip, but we are well rested and ready to start our video project.  We’ve met two couples… one that is doing the videos and the other one we are living with.  They are both awesome!  These pictures we took this afternoon on a walk.  Colin forgot his camera, so he had to use his iphone… not bad for a camera phone!  That’s all for now.  We have limited internet so we will post when we have the chance.  Enjoy the pictures!

Jack and Ashleigh {wedding}

ja wed 1a 261

Jack and Ashleigh’s wedding!!!! boohayah.  I must say, the only word i can think of to describe this wedding was “sweet.”  Not “sweet” like – really cool –  but, “sweet” like – two people made for each other finally meeting and being able to spend the rest of their lives together… that kind of sweet.  It was a truly happy time of celebration for everyone around.  And what a crazy day for a wedding in west texas!!!  It rained non stop the whole day!  It was like being back in New Zealand for a day… but a bit warmer.  And as I’ve heard, it’s good luck if it rains on your wedding day… so these guys are set on luck for awhile (not that they need it!!!)  Anyway, we have enjoyed these past few months of working and hanging out with this awesome couple.  We’re kind of sad it’s over, as happens with all our marvelous couples.  But we wish you guys the best and hope you like the slideshow and photographs.

This was a precious moment before the wedding when Jack and Ashleigh got to see each other all dressed up for the first time.

Jack’s pretty much the coolest guy i know.  And having an iphone makes him even cooler.

KJ Gillett

Disclaimer…. this is mainly for family so there might be quite a few pictures.  (You know, for the ones that’s don’t have a facebook and can’t look at the pictures there… seriously facebook is not just for kids)

Anyway, (this is Andre’a typing) my brother  Ken, had his first baby on thursday evening.  IT’S A BOY!  They wanted the gender to be a surprise so we all very excited to finally know.  He will be a Jr… so instead of having another Kenneth John around, he will be called KJ.  I will admit he’s very cute and he looks just like his mommy.  (He takes after the good-looking one!  just kidding, Ken!)  Both mommy and child are doing great and i’ve never seen Ken so happy.  Well, here are some pics of the newest family member.

Ashleigh’s Bridal Portraits

We can finally post these pictures!  Sometimes it’s really hard for Colin to hold off posting bridal portraits so the groom can’t see them.  Anyway, Jack and Ashleigh are now married and off on their honeymoon, which makes this a perfect time to post these pictures.  We had a fun time on this shoot.  We found a random umbrella at our house before we left and threw it in the car, just in case.  Boy, are we glad we did that!  It was an amazing prop and Ashleigh knew exactly how to hold it and to make the pictures superb!  All of these photos were taken in down town San Angelo so I hope you enjoy.

Right as we were beginning our shoot, a kind gentleman offered to unlock the ballroom in the Cactus Hotel for us to shoot there.  We hadn’t planned on that, but I’m glad we did.  It’s such a beautiful room and mix that with a beautiful bride… you can’t go wrong.

the Cuellar Kids

(this is Colin typing this by the way… so if it does not make much sense, that is why)  Andre’a had a great idea of doing her first photo shoot by her-self for one of her close friends.  And of course she decided to photograph some of the most difficult subjects in the world…. children. Children are crazy, fun, unpredictable, hilarious, small, full of energy, and sometimes emotional.  This makes for a great challenge when photographing them.  Oh, yeah. We are switching roles for this blog, because I usually put the pictures up and she writes the words, not this time.  Back on track… where was I, oh yeah. Andre’a is a great photographer and she often finds unique perspectives of situations that I would have never thought of, I guess that is why we make such a great team.  And she has great taste in lenses… the 50 1.4 for all the pictures, not a bad choice.  I guess I should start talking about these pictures. Like I said before I did not attend this photography session of the children, but Andre’a informs me that it was mid day and lighting not optimal. She really had to work it for some good light.

I think this first picture is my favorite, because you cannot tell if Micah is writing on a wall or on the ground.  The composition paired with the shallow depth of field really works for me.

Valerie and Justin engagement session

Last weekend Colin and I (Andre’a) took a little road trip up to the Dallas Fort Worth area.  We had an amazing time catching up with some friends in Dallas, and we took some engagement pictures of Justin and Valerie.  Valerie and I have been friends since high school, so for me, it was a pleasure to take these pictures.  We had some very memorable experiences during our shoot.  First off, we witnessed part of a car chase, saw a Chevy Tahoe that decided it didn’t want to be a “chevy” anymore and had a “Cadillac” emblem placed on it, and then Justin took us to the one and only Joe T Garcia’s for dinner.  If you are in the Ft. Worth area, you must go eat there!  Absolutely delicious.

Anyway, we started off at the Water Gardens of Downtown.  Then we went to a few more sites close by before it got dark and saw the city lit up at night.  The next day we finished up taking some more pictures at the church they will be married at, as well as going to the Botanical Gardens.  We pretty much had a full on tour of Ft. Worth during our shoot!  It was amazing and had a wonderful time.

Not only is this one of Colin’s favorite photos of the evening, but it’s very sentimental as well.  Justin and Valerie actually met at a Starbucks, so why not go back to the place they met!?!

The picture to the left is my  favorite.  It almost looks like a painting.
