CheyAnne and Doug’s New Orleans Wedding

Destination, Weddings
May 16th, 2012

Continuing on in our series of destination weddings…

I’m fairly used to getting emails from girls who are planning their wedding before they actually have a ring in hand (let’s be honest, I was planning my wedding before I even had a boyfriend, so I can’t begrudge a girl who wants to get a head start on her planning!). However, getting an email from a groom-to-be before the proposal is definitely something that doesn’t happen on a regular basis, so when Doug contacted me months before he was planning to pop the question, my curiosity was piqued. He and his then-girlfriend were both photographers in the New Orleans area, so naturally photography was one of the most important vendors to them, so much so that Doug was prepared to drop a deposit in front of me before he had even dropped to one knee in from of CheyAnne! A few months later, a very excited (and newly engaged) CheyAnne inquired with me, ready to book her photographer, not even knowing that her sweet fiance had already beaten her to the punch. As New Orleans is hands-down my favorite city in the United States, I was thrilled at the chance to go there not once, not twice, but three separate times to capture their engagements, bridals, and wedding, and I felt that as I got the know the city of NOLA better and better, I also got to know CheyAnne and Doug better and better. I learned about the struggles they faced together, how important their families are to them, how active they are in the New Orleans community, how passionate they are about their photography business and their clients, their love of New Orleans Saints and LSU football, and how long CheyAnne has been patiently waiting for this day to come! When CheyAnne and Doug finally danced down the aisle, surrounded by friends, family, and curious tourists peering through the gates of Jackson Square, I truly felt like I was sharing the day with them, rather than just documenting it, and it made the experience that much more special. Here are some of my favorite images from their day:

Abby - I feel like I've been looking forward to these photos for a year! Which I have. :-) CheyAnne and Doug, it was a pleasure meeting y'all last year and your wedding is absolutely stunning. Y'all look like you had a great time and so did your guests! On the technical side--Stacy I'm super impressed with the lighting during the Second Line. Can't imagine how hard that was, but the photos look amazing. Way to go. :-) Love everything about this wedding and now I want to come back to NOLA to visit!

Mariana Martinez - Stacy- You did such a wonderful job capturing an amazing couple and their incredible wedding! Congrats again CheyAnne and Doug!

Keri - OK so I have this blog and many other photographers blogs on my google reader and I just have to tell you how great these photos are. I was floored with the wedding as well. All the details they put into it was awesome. I usually just click through but this one stopped me and I had to go back and look through all of the photos. Not that you need to know how great the wedding and photos were because I am sure you already know but just had to comment on it.

Sissy & David’s Trendy Marfa Wedding

Destination, Weddings
May 11th, 2012

One of my all time favorite things to do is to travel. Seeing a new landscape and culture that I’ve never experienced before is one of the most thrilling things about life, and for me personally, it’s ten times better when I get to take a camera and a client along for the ride. I’ve been lucky enough to visit so many different states and countries as a photographer, including Jamaica, the Dominican Republic, Ireland, Paris, Venice, Chicago, New York, New Orleans, Nebraska, Arkansas, and so many others. In a few weeks my husband Jason and I will be jet-setting off to Europe for a couple of weeks immersing ourselves in new cultures and testing what we’ve learned in our year’s worth of French lessons, so to prepare myself for the trip, I decided to blog some of my recent destination work!

This week I’m starting off closer to home with a detail-rich wedding down in Marfa, Texas. Although it is in my home state, Marfa is much further away than many out of state weddings I’ve shot, and the culture is so drastically different that it feels like entering a new country. If you’ve never had the pleasure of visiting Marfa, the best way I can explain it is that it’s a hipster’s paradise. The town revolves around art, music, and culture and very much embraces its different-ness.  Everywhere you turn there’s a new art gallery or installation, musical performance, food truck, unique and innovative boutique, farmer’s market (quite an interesting variety considering it’s surrounded by desert and canyon), or trendy restaurant, as well as being the home of the famous Marfa Lights. You’d never expect to find an artistic haven nestled in such an isolated area, but if you’re willing to make the trek, it’s well worth it (especially for the Grilled Cheese Emporium).

Considering the Marfa culture, it’s no surprise that musician and artists Sissy & David decided it was the perfect place to say “I Do.” I had the privilege of photographing Sissy’s sister Rebecca’s wedding a few years prior, and I had been dying to check Marfa out for myself for years, so I was super excited to travel down the the Big Bend region with their family and friends and photograph their wedding at the Thunderbird Hotel and Capri Lounge. Sissy and David really put their style and vision to work in every aspect of their wedding, and the details were some of the most personalized and unique I’ve ever seen.  Here are a few of my favorites from their day:

Jessica’s Horse Ranch Bridal Session

Bridals
April 2nd, 2012

Although I’m a city girl, there’s something magical about the country that speaks to me.   Wild overgrown forests, thick patches of bushy green clover, horses galloping across fields under a sunny blue sky – it’s a wonderful respite from the buzz of the city, so I cherish every chance I get to visit it.  I first got the chance to experience Jessica’s corner of the country when I shot her and Rawley’s engagement session at her family’s horse ranch in Pilot Point, and it was a joy to return there to photograph her bridal session.  Here are some of my favorites from her day:

Racy Steeves Boudoir – updated!

Boudoir
February 11th, 2012

You know that you’ve been neglecting your blog when a potential client emails to ask if you’re still doing boudoir because you haven’t posted a new session in TWO YEARS!!

Yes, I am still shooting boudoir, and in fact I have been shooting quite a lot of them lately, and thanks to a more relaxed winter wedding schedule, I also finally found the time to update my terribly abandoned boudoir site, Racy Steeves.  I’ve also got a few more posts lined up there for the future, so make sure to add it to your blog reader! Unfortunately it’s too late for Valentine’s Day session, but if you’ve got a birthday or wedding anniversary coming up, or you just want to celebrate your awesome and beautiful self, email me now and schedule a boudoir session of your own.

Hannah’s Southern Bridal Session

Bridals
February 5th, 2012

Historic downtown McKinney is one of my favorite places in all of Texas. The quiet streets are lined with huge, gorgeous turn of the century homes and sweet families waving hello to each other and sipping lemonade on their wraparound porches. It feels like you’ve walked right out of Better Homes and Gardens. When I had the chance to photograph Rebecca’s wedding a few years back in the backyard of one of the most beautiful homes on one of the most beautiful streets (so historic it even has a Texas landmark plaque on the front door), I was thrilled to get an intimate introduction into this magical place, and I’ve been dying to go back ever since. Thankfully, Rebecca’s sister Hannah called me when she got engaged, and I jumped at the chance to return to her family’s lovely home for her bridal portraits. I’m madly in love with Hannah’s fashion sense, and she didn’t disappoint with her gorgeous pleated wedding gown adorned with rhinestones and bows and a bubble hem, and of course her amazing red heels! Here are some of my favorites from her session:

Rachel and Justin’s Colorado engagement session

Destination, Engagements
January 23rd, 2012

It did not take much convincing from Rachel and Justin to get me to leave the triple-digit scorching Texas summer heat and join them at their family’s vacation home in Crested Butte, Colorado.  It was the first week in August, and while my friends and family in Dallas were sitting lazily by their air conditioning units and daydreaming of Antarctica, Rachel and Justin and I were walking down Crested Butte’s main street, going in and out of antique stores and coffee shops and restaurants, enjoying the sun and blue sky and, most importantly, the 60 degree weather.  We ate delicious food, took midday naps, read books on cool sunny patios, and somewhere in there we found time to shoot Rachel and Justin’s engagement session.  I am so looking forward to their March wedding which is sure to be fabulous, especially with the amazing Paige Chenault as their wedding coordinator!  Here are some of my favorites:

bec {wanted imagery} - Such a lovely session Stacy! I love the mountains as a backdrop, it almost looks like a painted studio background! My favourite I think is the purple wall with yellow windows. Beautiful couple.
