Tunisian Wedding Photos

Many people have asked me to tell them more about these photographs and the country of Tunisia. (To see the entire wedding, please visit the Photography page of my website)


Tunisia is a nation in northern Africa, located between Libya and Algeria. The famous Roman city of Carthage was located in Tunisia, along the Meditteranean coast.

Located far inland are the ancient Roman ruins of Dougga. The Capitol building can be seen behind Erin and Christian in many of these photographs. It is hard to believe that these buildings have been standing out there in the desert for over 2,000 years. Photographing them was one of the highlights of my career.

Do you remember the film "The English Patient?" Tunisia is where the desert scenes for that movie were filmed.

Erin and Christian actually work in Tunisia and are the most wonderful couple anyone could hope to work with. They are kind, generous, and incredibly adventurous. Thank you both for including me in your wonderful wedding. I will remember Tunisia forever...

Picking Pumpkins for Halloween!

Since I've only been blogging for about a week, I thought it would be fun to post some photographs from past photo shoots. Here are a few images of beautiful little Laura as she was picking out pumpkins for Halloween!

My new 85/1.4 lens is awesome!

There's nothing like having great lenses to get great images with. Here are a couple of photographs from a farm near Simonton I took with my new lens.


I like to take black and white photographs whenever the subject matter is suitable. Here is a dance hall near Sheridan, Texas.


This photograph was taken while I was standing at the front door of the dance hall, looking directly up at the light. Sometimes I like to convert a color image to B&W in post; other times you just know a shot is meant to be black and white from the beginning.


Abandoned pick-up truck near Eagle Lake

When I'm not filming or photographing weddings, I like to travel the state of Texas in search of interesting subjects. I recently came across this abandoned pick-up truck in a field near Eagle Lake.




Where does my iPod connection go??

Saints Cyril and Methodius Catholic Church - Shiner, Texas

I recently made a quick afternoon drive over to Shiner, Texas looking for subjects to photograph. I came upon a beautiful church that would be amazing for a wedding! The name is "Saints Cyril and Methodius Catholic Church."

Here are 4 photographs of the church. Notice the spectacular painted ceiling above the altar.
