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!

We Are Engaged!!!

After a full day of location scouting and hanging out, Bret set the video camera up for one final shot.  When he came over to me he was breathing like he had just run a mile and his heart was beating a mile a minute.  I turned around and he got down on one knee and proposed.  It  was the sweetest thing ever and we have the whole thing on video tape! It just happened last night so as soon as we get a chance we’ll get a video up.  But I wanted to let everyone know and post some of the photos we shot of the day and of course a shot of the ring!

These are some before shots.

This one was after we set the camera up and grabbed another shot WITH the ring!

This couple was  walking by just after Bret proposed.  They are on a 2 1/2 month road trip from Canada.  They listed a ton of places they had already been and said they were just driving until they found cool places to stop.  They had no idea what they were getting into when we asked them to take a picture of us.   Bret set everything up and told him exactly how to shoot it and had him take several photos.  They were so nice and patient and we told them we were so excited about just being engaged, and since they were so nice to take our photo so many times we would return the favor for them.

Well, here they got a little memento of their stop in Dallas.

And finally, the photo you’ve all been waiting for….. The ring.

img_0132Really and truly I am so blessed to have Bret in my life.  I know for certain that I am actually the luckiest girl alive, and I am absolutely thrilled about spending the rest of my life with him.
