Tonight Courtney and Landon had the most wonderful wedding at sunset on Lake Grapevine.  GORGEOUS!  I promised mom I’d post a sneak peek…thanks for having me, it was an absolute honor to photograph this special day!

I had the incredible opportunity to photograph Sara and Drew tonight – married just three months – and willing to do just about anything during the “day after” shoot.  A shoot designed to show the newlyweds off, in their wedding attire, after being married a short bit.

It was an absolute pleasure to shoot them – could they be any more gorgeous?!?!

I am just about editing this maternity session, and when I opened this one, I *knew* I had to share…

Happy 4th of July friends!  I hope you have a wonderful long weekend…E got to see his first fireworks tonight (he totally slept through last year’s extravaganza!), and he loved every second!  Be safe and have fun…oh, and check back soon, I’ll be announcing a *new* contest next week, and the prize is SUPER FABULOUS!!

Here’s a couple shots from our backyard tonight!

Earlier this year I posted about offering my services for free to a worthy couple for their 2008 wedding (http://melissazihlmanphotography.blogspot.com/2008/02/ree_2146.html).  Landon and Courtney won the contest, and in two weeks I’ll be shooting their wedding at a fabulous sunset ceremony overlooking Lake Grapevine!  I can’t wait!

In addition to the wedding photographs, Courtney and I did a bridal session Monday, although I can’t share the images until after the big day!   We also met this evening with Landon and their going-to-turn-one-next-week gorgeous daughter Miss K.  We did some family shots for their rehearsal dinner…here’s a little sneak peek..
