The tree house is long since gone but if you listen closely you can still hear the laughter and feel the warm summer night breezes. "A ladder to the past"

Emily and Dalton’s Landscape, Huntington TX

Emily and Dalton had a beautiful wedding at the Sawmill Lake Mansion in Huntington Texas.  I was thrilled that the amazing Sarah Williams let me assist her for this wedding, because I also helped out withEmily’s bridal portraits a few weeks earlier and she was awesome!  So Sarah and I had high expectations for their wedding and they did not disappoint!  After the ceremony Emily and Dalton put up with us posing them for about a full hour, and were willing to go all the way to the other side of the lake for this shot.  I hope they like it!

Well I haven’t posted a landscape photo in May yet, not one without a bride and groom in it at least, so I think I’ll finish off the month without posting one.  In fact, I haven’t shot any landscapes since I was in Chicago back in mid-April.  Part of the reason is that I’ve decided to start a wedding and portrait business, and I’m trying to practice as much as possible before we move to Montana.  The other part of the reason is that I’m just not inspired by the landscape around me in East Texas.  I may not shoot another landscape until we get to Montana.

Critiques are always welcome.
