While in Denver, as a part of their effort to attract more weddings to their beautiful hotel, the Magnolia asked me to shoot a "bride" for their ads.  Saylee modeled for me and did an amazing job!  She had never done anything like this before but you never would have known it.  We jokingly said that now she'll know exactly how to "pose" when it comes her turn to get married :). 
Thanks, Saylee, for being so great!  Enjoy the faves... (and sorry for the "triple scoop" down there... I just couldn't figure out which of the three images I liked best :)

Our weekend continued with amazing Emma at the Paraiso Maravilla.  Gerardo Garmendia from McAllen, Tx was a smooth movin' machine with the video camera & his wife Angela was a huge help.  I really enjoyed meeting & working with them both!  Bear with me on this one.  I tried to narrow down my choice of favorites.  It was just too hard to pick!

Amanda is getting married tomorrow and gave me permission LONG ago to blog her bridals.  I'm sure you all tire of seeing the Magnolia Hotel, but I gotta say, it's almost impossible to take a bad picture in that place!  This girl was amazing to photograph... see for yourself.
