shepard-5042.jpgABOUT BROOKE: Hi!  My name is Brooke and this blog was created so I could share my world with you!  This is my journal....a place where I can come and share a bit of who I am and what I love to do!  I am a photographer based out of Houston, Texas but travel all over.  I really love traveling and seeing the world and people interacting in it!  I am a really simple person and find that my photographs speak simplicity. Take a look around and gain a better feel for what I love to do. I hope that in the process of searching through my blog you get a chance to know me better. I would love to hear from you....so say hi and don't be shy!


I am excited to share a fun write up about our photo booth, QUESO.  You may have had the chance to stick yourself in front of it a couple of times this year.   Modern Brides Magazine who also publishes Houston Magazine just released their newest issue and there is a fun write up in there.  I love my quotes in there too, so deep!  You will also find Elizabeth and Ben's wedding that we shot back in October on page 94/95. Danyette with To Be Wed did a wonderful job planning their day.  Also, a congrats to my friend Clint his piece in the article too!

Excited to have a 4 page feature in The Knot Texas magazine!  We shot Danielle and Sam's wedding last year out in Washington Texas and it was so fun and special that it was chosen as one of the 20 unique texas weddings. Check out this historic wedding below.

I was excited that Emily at Once Wed was a sucker for Kim and Zak's wedding and we were thrilled to have it featured on her blog!  You must read the blog post here  - Kim had a wonderful description of what inspired her wedding decor and day.  This DIY wedding was completely unique to the couple and that's inspiring.

Kim and Zak had a DIY wedding in Dallas, Texas that was beautiful!  The best part about this wedding was that it had perfect details that fit who Kim and Zak were!  They are both creative spirits and they, including the wedding party had every little detail made by hand.  The bride even learned how to felt so she could make a custom cake topper.  I was sure that they could all start their own event planning business.  My eyes were in creative heaven to see the aqua and red designs unfold throughout the day!  A special thanks to Lauren for assisting me.  Congrats to Kim and Zak...

The wonderful details the wedding party provided.  I love the old fashioned straws that were placed in blue jelly cars. The flowers were provided by Tami with The Blooming Bride.
