Jill and Randy were recently married in an elegant ceremony at the McKinney Bible Church in Fort Worth. The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth provided an incredible backdrop for the reception. William Ryan of It’s Your Night Entertainment provided the musical entertainment for the evening.

Here are a few of our favorite photographs from the big day.

You can see the rest of the photographs here.

Usually, the Chris Moseley Photography Blog is strictly business. But, it’s been a tough week for me because I had to say goodbye to my dog Ranger. Ranger was a photographer’s best friend. He yearned attention so much that he was always up for posing..and loved wearing these little Harry Potter glasses you see below. A few photos here to share. If you’re a dog person, check out the short tribute with more photographs at my personal blog, MoseleyWorld.

Congratulations to Chrissy and John, who were recently married in Austin at Westlake Hills Presbyterian Church. After a beautiful ceremony, everyone made the short drive to Barton Creek Country Club for the fabulous reception.

Linda Dryden, Westlake’s premier wedding & event planning guru, brought Chrissy & John’s ideas to life and did not miss a single detail. The decor was provided by Westbank Flowers (who also did the wonderful arrangements at the church), Marquee Rentals (those elegant linens) and Ilios Lighting [planning note: Seeing a professional lighting designer setting up accent lighting at an event or reception always makes a photographer smile! Spotlighting tables, cakes, floral arrangements can provide a beautiful glow to your party!].

Just off the main ballroom, John & Chrissy had a fun room/lounge. Inside were all their favorites: movies & kettle corn, mini burgers and sweet potato fries, a candy bar with peanut M&M’s and sour skittles, cozy couches surrounding tables with scrabble boards (John’s game of choice), milk & cookies and a photo booth!

All the guests danced and danced to the music of Bulletproof Brass. During Sweet Home Alabama, I heard something being yelled out during the chorus - in between the band’s singing ”Sweet Home Alabama” and “where the skies are so blue.” I scurried over to the dance floor just in time to hear the large contingent of guests from Alabama shouting “Roll Tide Roll,” just like they do at ‘Bama games.

We wanted to share some of our favorites of Chrissy & John on the blog. You can see the rest of the photographs here.

We photograph weddings in an artistic and documentary style. Some call it wedding photojournalism, we call it Chris Moseley Photography!

Blake and Laura were married Memorial Day weekend at the Rosewood Crescent Hotel, one of my favorite places to photograph. Besides providing a beautiful backdrop for photography, the staff at the Crescent Hotel never misses a beat.

The daytime wedding let us take advantage of the beautiful daylight in the courtyard and in the garden room.

While we continue to work on processing the photographs, we wanted to share some of our favorites from the wedding day.

The Associated Press reports that photographer Wang Qiang was at a century-old French mission, waiting for the the bride & groom (and wedding party?) when the big Chinese earthquake hit. He said his instincts took over and instead of ducking for cover, he kept shooting. Some amazing photographs from an awful tragedy.

Since my clients always enjoy seeing my personal photography work when they visit our studio, I thought I would share some on the web. As you might expect, most of my photographs have people in them. But having grown up in the piney woods of East Texas, I am always fascinated with the nothingness and flatness of the western part of Texas.

Sometimes its fun to dust off the Leica, load it with some black & white film and head out west!
