This is an image of Joy and Chris at their wedding in the fall. Many of you over the years have worked with Joy who is my head enhancement artist. Joy's dad passed away last week. Joy's family is super special to us as Cassy and I of course know Joy well, but also have had the opportunity to photograph almost all of the Miller clan at one time or another. I can't imagine how tough it is for them right now. I know they will appreciate all of our thoughts and prayers.

Liz and Stewart's Amarillo reception is tonight and I'm really excited. Their wedding was so much fun in Belize a few weeks ago. They are a really laid back couple who are perfect for each other. They have the most fun group of family and friends too. It will be great to see everyone again and unveil the images that we've been working so hard on the last few weeks! Here's a sneak preview of what everyone will see tonight in a collage form. Click on the image to see the full view.

This is Scarface the Crocodile. Some of the local kids put on a Crocodile show with live, wild crocodiles. Its pretty insane.

This is Liz and Scarface.

I wonder what these ladies are carrying on their heads. It looks kind of like laundry.
