Hi there! We're Luke and Cat, and we're so happy you're here. We hope you'll stay a while! We’re a husband and wife wedding photographer team based in Houston, Texas. Ranchers-turned-photographers, our world looks like this: a Craftsman-style farmhouse; our newborn, Knox, in our arms; coffee in the kitchen; Edison lights on the back porch; and a pair of English bulldogs at the foot of our bed.

Frosting up the nose!

May 16, 2012 / Our Life

Cat and I have been trying to become adults and transition in to a more adult lifestyle. This includes trying to keep caught up with laundry, having at leasts two clean forks at any given time, and going to the dentist on a regular basis.

When I (Luke) was growing up, the dentist was just a part of life. Every six months I would go get my teeth cleaned and I would never have any cavities! Not one! Once I was out on my own, I decided that going to the dentist was overrated, and went on a much more sporadic schedule. After I met Cat and we started going steady, my trips to the dentist were fewer and father between.
But now that we are "trying" to become adults, we made the decision to go to the dentist after not going for a few years. We both wanted to same technician, since we were already friends with here from outside of the dentist office, so I went first. I had two cavities and was devastated! The only good news was that since they were so small, they didn't have to numb me to fix them.
Cat had a little different prognosis after her cleaning. She had a few more cavities and also needed a root canal and a crown! We were in an all-around foul mood after we left the dentist. Cat even said that "if we hadn't of gone, we would not have known anything was wrong!" We were mad and relieved all at the same time.
Today marked the conclusion of all dental work and we are back on the up-and-up! Our teeth aren't going to fall out of our head and we already made our next cleaning appointment for 6 months from now! This "being an adult" thing isn't so bad :)
To celebrate our healthy mouth status, we decided to grab a few cupcakes on our way out of town.


I didn't know that the icing on these bad boys would be a mile high and make them nearly inedible. However, since I am not one to give up on a challenge too easily, I went for it. I opened my mouth as big as I could and tried to maneuver the cupcake in to my pie hole!
Well the tower of icing atop the moist cake didn't want to corporate and navigated through my sinuses. I had sprinkles and icing in places that sprinkles and icing shouldn't ever be!
I quickly figured out that I needed to turn the confectionary sideways and take two bites. I think that a clean bill of dental health and some in-depth cupcake eating problem solving definitely means that adulthood is getting closer!

Hello... from San Antonio!

May 11, 2012 / Our Life
I'm blogging from the comfort of my favorite hotel in Texas - the Marriott Rivercenter in San Antonio! We're visiting one of my favorite Texas cities as we are here to photograph Priscilla and Chip's wedding tomorrow. At the moment, I'm typing from the light of the tiniest lamp, from the 24th floor, while Luke is taking a nap and resting up for the big day tomorrow.

Several years ago, back when were were just dating, Luke and I came to San Antonio for one our first-ever vacations together. This was back when were were doing the long-distance thing, and Luke had flown to Texas to spend spring break with me.
Here we are long ago, Typical Texan style in front of the Alamo!


As we were driving into the city today, I had a deja vu moment. As we turned off the interstate to get to our hotel, I can remember just like it was yesterday, the last time I was pulling into this hotel. At that time, Luke (first time visitor to ol' San Antone') was snapping a million pictures like a typical tourist, on my point and shoot camera I had thrown in my purse. I had grabbed the camera to make sure we took some photos while we were on vacation, and to make sure I had a new Facebook picture of us. Oh, the important things.

Funny how things go. Here we are, 5 years later, and we're in this same town, and we'll be taking pictures, but in much different circumstances. We are blessed and have had the most incredible journey thus far.

Feeling very thankful today! Have a fabulous weekend!

Rose Gold... A New Love

May 9, 2012 / Our Life
About a year ago, my obsession started with Rose Gold. Luke and I were out shopping for clothes to wear to North Carolina when we went there to have our photo taken by the fabulous photographer Millie Holloman. I wasn't even in the market for a new watch, but I was walking by the counter and saw these beautiful rose gold Michael Kors watches and fell in love. You can see the rose gold watch in the bottom of this picture.


Now fast forward to this spring, and we shot a wedding for the lovely Lacey and Edwin. Lacey is a Stella & Dot jewelry stylist and because of that, I started browsing her website a little more than I'd like to admit.

I have gone a little crazy with the rose gold. Here are a few of my favorites!


I haven't purchased the Rhea Bangles yet but obviously (as you can tell) they are on my radar.

Update: Another rose gold item that I have on my wishlist! Last week these awesome camera straps launched and are creating quite a buzz in the photography industry! I actually don't even shoot with ANY strap on my camera, but I might add one if it is this one from Bloom Theory!


Happy Wednesday!
