NEW WEBSITE!!!

We've gone live as of last night! YES!!! This past week Conor and I (along with much-needed and greatly appreciated tech support from Shane) worked to get new photos and a brand new look for the website up and running. Check it out and let us know what you think! http://www.daynaphotography.com/

It has been a crazy week working on photos and getting ready for the bridal show this weekend. We're all setup and ready to go tomorrow. Hooray for the Bridal Extravaganza Show in Houston!!! The website is still in its infancy and we'll be adding more photos, galleries, other portraits, etc. So check back in a while and see what's new! Also be watching for a new blog. We'll be switching over to that shortly and this one will come to an end. Change is good!

July is Here!!!

What happens when you have a long holiday weekend and no plans? 1. Cleaning--ya not what I would've gone for, either. But that's why it made the top of the list; I have been neglecting the house. 2. Eat. 3. Decide to redo the Website! 4. Eat some more. (That's right--it was a dangerous weekend--totally living on the edge. Don't be jealous.)

Yes, we will be launching our NEW WEBSITE by the end of the week!!! So exciting--we can hardly wait. Of course, there will be some tweaking and adding over time; please don't expect perfection this early in the game! Stay tuned for the new site.

Some other noteworthy things to mention:
This week is the Bridal Show in downtown Houston. So fun! Click here for more info. http://bridalextravaganzashow.com/ I may take a megaphone so I can compete with the tux & formal wear shop across from us.
2nd big thing is it's the 10th Anniversary of my photography business this month!!! Some sort of celebration is in order. I may have to postpone until August for a party so I can pull something together. It's fun to see how far I've come since the beginning, the changes to the industry, going from all film to digital, and my growth as a photographer.

We hope everyone enjoyed the Fourth of July and has a wonderful summertime!!!

P.S. These photo booth pics are from a bridal show we attended w/Conor's sister last year when she was getting married. Found them while cleaning. Kinda funny!

April Showers Bring May Flowers: Victoria & Matt's Wedding Day

Not only did they bring May flowers, but it brought May showers the morning of the wedding as well! But nothing could put a damper on Victoria and Matt's wedding day. There were smiles all around and the ceremony and reception came off beautifully. And I think we were all thankful the rain had cooled things off a bit. Victoria and Matt were married at St. John the Divine Chapel and held their reception at The Grove in downtown Houston. Congrats on your marriage--you made it!!!

Melissa Botard Bridals

We took Melissa's bridal portraits at the elegant Rice University. I must admit it's quickly becoming one of my favorite spots for bridal pics in Houston. Only because I am a succor for arches and it's amazing corridors lined with them! The evening light warmed up the stone and brick, and in some places the cool colors of the shade added an interesting contrast. Light is amazing!!! Melissa is very photogenic, so shooting her photos were just a matter of placing her where we wanted. She looked beautiful in her all lace wedding gown and wore it with grace. Enjoy some of my favorite bridal pics and watch for the wedding pictures!

Ashley & Joshua Wedding Rehearsal Dinner

Ashley and Joshua were married Memorial weekend and we took photos at their wedding rehearsal dinner. What a gorgeous setting! It was an intimate outdoor dinner and it was decorated beautifully. And the food displays made your eyes dance and mouth water. A lovely dinner for an even lovelier couple!
