So…my site has been a pain to view on a cell phone, until now. From now on when you go to my site from a mobile device, it will load faster, be more user friendly and not make your cell phone explode. Go try it out! I’ll wait…
I figured I would post about this because its kinda cool. I submitted a recipe to Totally Rad from an engagement session a did a few months back, and they liked it enough to feature it on their page! In case you don’t already know, Totally Rad Action Sets lead the industry in photoshop workflow and cool effects.
Go here to see the featured article and, if you are a photographer and do not own this action set, it would be a GREAT investment!

I think Danny and Meredith strategically planned for their engagement photos to be on the coldest day of the year, and their wedding to be on the hottest day of the year. During their engagements, I was freezing cold even with 2 pairs of socks, 2 pairs of gloves, a hoodie and a thermal shirt on, but this was the complete opposite. Even at sunset when it is normally somewhat breezy and cool, we were sweating like pigs. That didn’t keep us from getting some good pics though. This is another one of the couples I had to wait a year for their wedding to finally arrive. They got married at the Chapelle des Fleurs in Flower Mound and it was pretty awesome. I have been wanting to shoot there for a while, so it was cool (not literally) to finally get to. Danny and Meredith have been fun to photograph. And I am doing Meredith’s bridals next weekend, so you’ll be seeing more of them..well…her. Here is a sneak…
- Beautiful! I love the sparklers at the end. :-)August 29, 2010 - 12:27 pm
I have been so excited about shooting these bridals since the day Jill contacted me a long time ago. For one, Ryan Manor is where we shot them, and photos online do not do this place justice. Jessica and I had our jaws on the ground the whole time we were walking around the place. Seriously. Awesome. And Chris, the owner, is probably one of the top 3 nicest people I have ever met. So extremely accommodating and willing to help. Secondly, I knew from the second I saw Jill on Facebook that this was going to be an awesome bridal session. And every time I tried to instruct Jill on how to stand or where to look, etc, she was always 2 steps ahead of me. It was amazing! She has had to have done this before! Here is a sneak…
- I need to know who did her make-up! It is amazing, and I don't have a person.August 24, 2010 - 8:42 pm
- OMG!!!!!!!!!! i love them. I am so happy. COLTON you are amazing......August 19, 2010 - 11:09 am
- Colton, these simply rock. Stunning work, stunning bride, stunning location. xoxo KandiAugust 19, 2010 - 4:46 am
Well this is going to be a shorter blog post than normal. I felt so sorry for Richard. He just had back surgery in June and this session is the most he has walked since then. He kept apologizing for having what he called a “bad attitude” during the shoot, but for having to walk with a cane in 104 degree temperature and barely being able to bend at the waist, his attitude was about 100 times better than mine would have been. Im really excited about this wedding coming up in November. They are a fun couple to be around and if this shoot was him in a “bad mood”, I can’t wait to see how these guys act when he’s feeling better. Here is a sneak…
- Incredible pictures! Richie is in a very good mood considering the surgery and Miranda is absolutely beautiful. They make a great looking couple. I can't wait to meet them. Dwayne RileyAugust 26, 2010 - 12:27 pm
- AWWWWW. too cute!!! Good job for keeping up with the shoot after surgery!!August 19, 2010 - 7:38 am
So this may be one of my favorite engagement sessions that I have done. Tim and Megan were literally a blast to be around. I am not sure I have ever had this much fun at an engagement session. PLUS, they brought their awesome pug for some photos. I have a special place in my heart for pugs because I had one growing up. We started shooting at the Chipotle in Plano because this is where Tim and Megan not only had their first date, but it is where Tim proposed. We took some photos out in front of the building for a few minutes with Maximus before he got a little overheated and had to go home with Megan’s mom. Then we went inside for a few minutes and got some photos at their “spot”. Then we headed to Deep Ellum to finish up. One thing I love about Deep Ellum is that when I start to get tired of shooting down there, I always find new spots that make me fall back into love with it. It doesn’t hurt that it’s pretty dead down there now days so you don’t have to worry too much about people being in the photos. These guys were SUPER photogenic and you can tell that Megan is no stranger to the camera lens (I don’t know that for sure, she just acts like she’s done this many times before). Here is a sneak…
- Love the pics! We are gonna take pics with our pug too! :)August 16, 2010 - 7:54 pm
- Really great set.. love the images with the dog, Maximus! :)August 12, 2010 - 9:34 pm
So I have to give props where props are due, and Katie and her family take the cake on awesome venue choice and amazing decor. When I arrived, her whole family was drenched in sweat from just a few hours of decorating and setting up, but it paid off because it looked great! This venue was awesome! Ceremony and reception were both outside, but there was a huge barn for people to go through to get food, cake and hang out in the air conditioning for a little while. Matt and Katie were both a lot of fun to hang out with and shoot too! Both of them were really laid back and and drama-free. They had some fun friends to hang out with too! Oh, and this is the first wedding I have shot where bridesmaids started crying as they were walking down the aisle. Couldn’t even keep it together for a few more seconds, haha! It made for some memorable pictures though. Here is a sneak…
- It's called Chapel Creek Manor. It's in Waxahachie.August 18, 2010 - 2:41 pm
- Where was the venue?August 17, 2010 - 9:14 am

First of all, how do you like the new website? My goal with this new layout and design was to eliminate the crazy loud background, take colors down a bit and make the photos the main point of focus. I really like the more minimalist look to everything and I think it helps center this website on what it is really about…you guys. So about Michael and Julia…let me first say that multiple outfit changes can really make an engagement session! It allows for a large variety of images and it always looks better at the end. I think these two strategically planned out to schedule their engagements on a day when there was no wind blowing whatsoever, haha. We sweated quite a bit! But it was worth it because the photos turned out pretty good. We trecked all over Chestnut Square and Downtown McKinney searching for some cool photo spots, and I think we found em. We actually stumbled upon a garden maintained by a restaurant where they grow their ingredients fresh so of course we used it to get some pics. After it was all said and done, I got home, looked down at my feet to kick off my flipflops and realized I was wearing 2 different colors and went the whole night without noticing. And it wasn’t even like the colors were close…one was white and the other was brown. Michael and Julia just figured that was me being artistic, haha. Here is a sneak…
- Great photos, Colton. And I must say, I ADORE her shoes.August 8, 2010 - 5:12 pm
- These two seem so natural in front of the camera. Good job!!August 8, 2010 - 12:30 pm
- OMG!!!!! COLTON, These pics are amazing!!!!! Tears all over again. I'm so glad you are our photographer! WE LOVE THEM and YOU. Please wear one brown shoe and one white shoe to the wedding.August 7, 2010 - 9:20 pm
So I am a little bummed about this wedding. Not because I didn’t like it..but because it is over. It was kinda like Christmas. I waited a year for it to come around all year and was so excited. When the day finally came, it was great and I had a blast..but now its over and I am bummed out. Only, this won’t roll around again in a year. I did their engagements back in January in Addison and we nearly froze to death. Then they get married in July and we nearly burn up! But seriously, Brad and Chelsea are literally so much fun to be around! They are just so laid back and relaxed, and they are up for anything! Needless to say we were able to get some great pictures. Hopefully we can work together again in the future when little jr. comes along! Here is a sneak…
- These are all so great! And the new website looks good, too!August 7, 2010 - 11:04 am
- Colton!!!! These pictures (well, ALL of your pictures) are amaZing! You do not know how excited I am for our engagements in September and the wedding next May :) I know we are in the best hands and that you will give us the best memories of our wedding EVER! The website looks spectacular too by the way :) -Amanda ZietakAugust 7, 2010 - 7:23 am
Nate and Joy got married a few weeks ago and I have been pretty excited about posting these. They did the reveal so we were able to get a TON of bride and groom pics, but that wasn’t my favorite thing about this wedding. The reception was at the Dallas Flight Museum. How creative, right? Whooda thunk! It was really a cool atmosphere with the music playing, the lights down low and giant airplanes hanging overhead. The weird thing was that we pretty much had free reign of the entire facility, so we had a ton of good photo opportunities. Another good thing about this place is that there was a playground for the kids to play on while the parents partied. It was a good time! Here is a sneak…
