We've Come A Long Way // Ashley and Boone // A Kyle Field Wedding, College Station TX

Bride standing on the 50 yard line at Kyle Field stadium as her wedding party crouches to look at the turfI have a list of fun places I would like to travel to when filming a wedding.  One that requires no traveling at all is Kyle Field in College Station.  I’m not saying that the couple actually needs to get married on the 50 yard line, but taking photos there would be cool.  Last June my wish came true and I was able to film Ashley & Boone’s wedding.  The emails started like most of them, with her telling me they would be married at a church, but then things got crazy when she told me the reception would be at the Kyle Field Zone Club.  And they would be taking pictures on the field, and the groom’s cake was a replica football field, and the garter would be wrapped around a football when he threw it.  Okay so I didn’t actually know about the garter, but I really shouldn’t have been surprised.

Slightly more seriously, I hope this wedding conveyed how much Ashley and Boone were waiting for this day.  As the minister said, they were together for a long time, and had both grown a lot.  They realized that together they were better people, and they wanted it to last forever.

Cross Kyle Field off my bucket list (but seriously, if you’re getting married and having part of your wedding there I will gladly film it again), now all that is left is Hawaii, New Zealand, a mountaintop, Antarctica, and Germany to name a few locations.

The Aggies Return From Beating Alabama // Photography

Nighttime crowd celebration with a man in a maroon tie raising both arms, fans in maroon Aggie gear cheering around himEver since Texas A&M University was accepted into the Southeastern Conference (SEC), the matchup between A&M and the University of Alabama was always looming. Alabama went into the November 10,2012 game as the number one ranked school in college football. Even worse for the 15th ranked Aggies was that they had to play the Crimson Tide in Tuscaloosa, AL. Long story short, A&M beat Alabama at home and gave them their first loss of the season. This was the biggest win in Aggie football that I have ever witnessed and made for an extremely exciting football game to watch.

Around 9pm that night, while I was still trying to fathom what I had just seen, I received a phone call from the division of marketing and communications at A&M asking me to photograph the teams return that night from their away game. Of course I agreed, so I gathered my equipment with my intern and rushed to Kyle Field to meet a tidal wave of Aggies in maroon waiting for the team to arrive. I was able to capture many pictures of the excitement that was filling the area and then when the team arrived the crowd really erupted.   I also watched as the players and coaches walk down a sea of maroon of people and be congratulated for their big win.  Coach Sumlin and Johnny Manziel walked two feet past me.  It was awesome to be a part of this moment in Texas A&M history.
