Welcome to my little piece of the cyberworld! Grab a margarita (it's 5 o'clock somewhere right?), put your feet up and stay awhile. I'm a wedding photographer residing in Houston-ish, TX, but forever a Vegas girl at heart.

Speaking of WPPI, if you are at WPPI find the small-ish asian girl (there might be a few, so make sure you take a good look before you start talking, we all look about the same you know! :p) and say hello! I would love to meet some fellow photogs AND you get a button!! (button, button who wants a button!!) AND a surprise!
So come on out to see me! I’ll be helping out in various booths – Millers Lab, Collages.net,Denny Mfg and Radio Popper. Stop by and say hello, get your button and your surprise!!!
I leave bright and early this morning (actually in 3 hours I have to be at the airport…I should be sleeping!) so if I look like a zombie, you’ll have to excuse me!!!
Take a looky loo around here and I’ll be having a blog contest soon!! Keep your eyes peeled!!!

November 3, 2008 - 11:44 pm - These are all wonderful! I love the coors cake, looks like a fun wedding!
February 15, 2009 - 11:11 am - Love the emotion in these. What a fun wedding and you captured it beautifully!
Ok, I know most of you have been waiting on this ALLLLLL DAY!!! Well here they are! 
I decided that my long hair HAD TO GO, it was just much too annoying…So I visited Tara at the FABULOUS Spa Romona in Sugar Land, TX and chopped off 11 inches of hair…Yes, you read that correctly…ELEVEN inches…it was shorter (ok MUCH shorter) than I had anticipated…but it’s cute and it grows out quickly…Oh! And I got an awesome new color technique called “peek-a-boo” I think??? Tara, correct me if I’m wrong!! Anyhow, the color looks much more awesome in person, so you’re all going to have come visit me!!! Excuse the crappy “before” pics…my little point and shoot is having issues….
So,we started…with three ponies because my hair is uber thick and they had to cut it with regular scissors! BWHAHAHA!
Me…uhhh…being me???
After pics, keep scrolling!!
Then I had dinner with my uber-cute soon to be bride for SUSHI!! YUM! Kristy, I had a blast with you!! Aren’t we cute???
and yes, Kristy was the first person to see it!
So I got home and had Mike take some pics of me…
and of course, me being me….AKA stupid!
So there it is…11 inches of hair cut off to donate to Locks of Love! And a sassy new short cut!
Hope you enjoyed!!
October 22, 2008 - 12:33 am - Oh sassy and cute! It looks fabulous!!!
October 22, 2008 - 12:37 am - Love your hair cutie patootie!!
October 22, 2008 - 12:51 am - I LOVE it! I expected it to be even shorter as I was scrolling down. It's PERFECT!! My 5 year old and I did it last year - it does grow back quickly. And love the color!!
October 22, 2008 - 1:01 am - Love it Suzy and the 5th picture is HOT! Sizzlin. Your such a doll for donating your hair
October 22, 2008 - 1:03 am
- Looks cute! Wait until you shower and you try to keep going down your hair - which is no longer there. LOL
My 6-year old did a donation this past June and it was REALLY short!
October 22, 2008 - 6:50 am - LOVE the cut! Very you :)
October 22, 2008 - 7:12 am - Looks FANTASTIC .... TOO CUTE you are!! Hugs, M
October 22, 2008 - 8:41 am - I love it! I've been wanting to cut my own hair lately, too, and seeing yours is makin' me want to go out and get it done right NOW! LOL
October 22, 2008 - 9:57 am - You look so cute, Miss Suzy!!! Miss you!
October 22, 2008 - 11:37 am - holy carp that was a lot of hair!!! Love the new sassy cut!
October 22, 2008 - 11:40 am
- Cute as ever!!! love it!
What an awesome thing you did to donate!!!!love ya~
October 22, 2008 - 12:51 pm - Looks FAB, darlin....but when are you going as short as mine?????
October 22, 2008 - 2:49 pm
- You look funny...
But of course, you knew that comment was coming :)

October 23, 2008 - 1:10 pm - That's so awesome! I'm actually having mine cut tomorrow for the same cause! Thanks for the encouragement :)

WARNING:Super-dee Duper-dee extra long blog post!! sorry if you’re on dial up!!
Last week Mike and I went back to my hometown of VEGAS to photograph Robyn and Jon’s AMAZING wedding at the BEAUTIFUL JW Marriott
The day started off beautifully as Robyn got her make-up done by the wonderful Megan from Makeup in the 702
Robyn’s beautiful Lazaro dress
and of course we can’t forget the shoes!
Robyn changing into her traditional handmade Chinese dress
Miss K REALLY enjoyed being a photographer that day…after seeing me get down on the ground for a shot, all her shots were from this perspective…
While I had fun with the girls, Mike of course, shot the boys!
Yes, this is the infamous “Mike almost got thrown in jail” shot…If you’re really interested in the story, let me know and I’ll fill you in!
I headed out to do some shots of Robyn and Jon before the Tea Ceremony start
I got this “Hollywood” shot of the boys…they’re so gangsta!! :p
We moved on and started the traditional Chinese tea ceremony.
I love the emotion in this shot of Robyn and her grandmother.
Jon gets bling too!!!
After the tea ceremony, Robyn changed into her beautiful Lazaro dress
and then Robyn and Jon’s FIRST LOOK! You all know how much i LOVE FIRST LOOKS!!
Of course, by this time the ceremony was about to start!
It was an amazing ceremony with tears and laughter…oh there was laughter…Robyn was giving her heartfelt, lovely vows when she slipped up! And of course, her reaction to her oops!
After the ceremony, I took a couple of minutes to get some bridal party shots…
LOVE this one!!
Ok, so funny story about this…Y’all recognize adorable Miss K, the flower girl…So I was trying to keep her occupied (AKA out of the way) while I shot the bridal party, so I got Robyn’s flowers and set them on my ThinkTank and told Miss K to “Watch these flowers ok sweetie? Make sure they don’t fall and that no one takes them ok? Can you do that for me?” With a solemn nod and a resolute turn, she watched the flowers…She watched the flowers like this for about 5 minutes while I photographed the bridal party…Oh how I wish everyone listened to me this well!!
Just a few more of the first dance
and I thought this was an appropriate way to end this blog post don’t you think??
Robyn and Jon, I hope you have a BLASTY-BLAST in Fiji!! I know both Mike and I thoroughly enjoyed spending your beautiful wedding day with you!
Big thanks go out to Jennifer Fluharty as well for coming and helping out at the reception!
October 7, 2008 - 12:57 am - Looked like a lot of fun :)
October 7, 2008 - 12:58 am
- awesome~
i love your commentary! and i love the story of the little girl watching the flowers for 5 minutes. priceless!!!

October 7, 2008 - 6:47 am - I've been looking forward to reading this post!! Fabulous job to you and Mike, I can't wait to see the rest :) I had a blast partying it up at the end of the night with u and MR. FULTON! LOL
October 7, 2008 - 9:58 am
- You're goin' with "Super-dee Duper-dee?" Seriously??
Hahah, awesome pics, Suzy. Looks like a wonderful location, and you really did it up right with your photography!
October 7, 2008 - 8:52 pm

Gorgeous photos, and not surprised Mike almost got in trouble...AGAIN! :)
