hello, nice to meet you.

We're illuminare photography + cinematography and this blog/website serves as our initial meeting ground, allowing you to get to know us and our work a little better.  While we have a portfolio section and frequently post blog highlights from our weddings and portrait shoots, we also keep the blog rolling with a bunch of various photos and videos that we do for ourselves when we're out just having a good time.  We feel that it's important to share this side of ourselves and allow you to see who we are, how we work, and what we think is cool. 

So sit back, relax and have fun browsing around!  And if you feel that we'd be a good match for you, we'd love to hear from you!

Karla + Carlos – A Glimpse

Men of Note

Men of Note is an awesome men’s Chorus located up in Plano.  We had the honor of going to their dress rehearsal to get some new shots for them! They put on a great show, and the music is just beautiful! I believe the show has passed for this year but if you are looking for something to do with the family next holiday season, check them out at www.menofnote.org

The did have guest singers for a few songs.
