    Machelle & Dennis = Wedding Venetian Terrace

    Posted in weddings

    These two are such a sweet couple.  You may remember their engagements from a few months ago.  They live in Arkansas, but Machelle is from Dallas originally, so they had the bash here!  We LOVED working with them.  They are truly in love!  I had to include the first photo…because it is so true with these two.  Here is a sneak peek into their big day. Enjoy!

      Meet Amanda and Tim!  You may remember them from their engagements several months ago!  They had a FABULOUS wedding recently!  Here are a few of our favorite images from their day.  This was a GREAT party!  The dance floor was packed all night long!  We also shot some pretty hilarious photos in the Photo Booth that night!  Be sure to check out the grooms cake, one of the coolest we’ve seen.  Enjoy!

            Meet the Maldonado’s…….Pay it Forward!

            Posted in families, kids, maternity

            A couple of months ago, our family was chosen to participate in the pay it forward sessions that John Michael and Dalisa Cooper were shooting during the Very AltF Tour.  As part of our “payment” we were to do the same for another photographers family!  So we are excited to introduce you to the Maldonado Family.  We had several photographer families send us emails about why they should be selected and we picked these suspects!  (We did forward everyone else’s info on to other photographers who were looking for families to shoot!)   We had a little snafu during our first scheduled session….a hurricane named Ike!  But, we finally got to meet our family one Friday in Ennis, Texas.  Alex owns a photography and videography business in Palastine, Texas.  They have three kids and are expecting number 4!  Alex has not had his photo taken professionally since high school!!!  So we thought this was a great time to get them some new family shots.  We could have posted a 100 pics of this family as they are all so photogenic!!! But, here are a few of our favorites!  We will post the link to the Roadside Family Portrait blog once our photos have been uploaded.  Enjoy!  Thanks to the Maldonado’s for letting us get to know you…you have a GREAT family!

            2. Alex Maldonado wrote: I can not even begin to explain how incredible these images are. I see great photos all the time and part of the reason we wanted Bludoor to shoot us is because their work is super, the colors are vibrant, the composition is unique... blah, blah, blah.... but seeing MY family in these images is unreal. Having great images that capture exactly what a family is like is something everyone should do on an ongoing basis. If you have a family, a bride, a boyfriend, a pet rock you HAVE to give Mike and ReJana a look the next time you need a photographer. Thank you guys for an amazing gift/session/morning. I can't wait for the rest. (10/06/08, 8:04 am)

            3. Danielle Maldonado wrote: Thank you guys sooo much for taking such great pictures! It was nice to finally have Alex IN the pictures instead of having to photoshop him in. We looked at them on the tv this morning and they are so amazing!!! Of course, we can't wait to see the rest. Thank you for being so laid back and relaxed. That's what you have to be whenever there are 3 kids. It was great to find those qualities in a photographer. (10/06/08, 8:55 am)

              We were honored to be photographed by John Michael Cooper of Alt F Photography.  He is incredible!  Here is the picture he took of our family for his “Roadside Portraits - Pay It Forward” Campaign.  I stole this from his blog!!!  Be sure to check out his blog for some funny images and video from their road trip/very Alt F Tour across the country.  You might even see Mike and I in action in a few!  Edward will be posting some images he took of our session with John soon!
