On a beautiful blustery March day, Luzita & Jamie were married at the Chapel Dulcinea!
With daylight savings time there was lots of daylight for shooting. The bride and groom gave away mexican wedding cookies as favors and were serenaded by the most incredible Mariachi band! (they also had traditional squeezebox Conjonto music for dancing).
The owner of Chapel Dulcinea is renovating this turquoise Chevy truck, a perfect backdrop for photos.
Felicitaciones! Buena suerte! Que todo salga bien!

Mat on a Bertoia at the Museum of Modern Art Sculpture Garden!




I've been obsessed with modern chairs since my Mom photographed my childhood in a turquoise butterfly chair, and since design within reach isn't really within my reach I keep an eye out for them.
J found 4 Bertoia chairs in the trash at the MOMA when he moved art for a living in NYC, a Russell Spanner chair at a Goodwill in Dallas and 6 bentwood dining chairs from the Broncho Bowl in Dallas.
I found the Eames bucket outside a gas station in Manchaca (I think it was dumped from the old Adams Extract Building off South I 35) and a Knoll office chair at the Girl Scout Camp covered with white moldy vinyl.
Thanks to Garcia & Sons upholstery shop in San Marcos for giving these chairs a new life!

It's hard to believe it's been 11 years since we first celebrated your life! You are so amazing, we can't wait to watch and and share all the changes to come.
Thanks especially for letting your Mum experiment and stick her camera in your face constantly! And reminding me to "BE HERE NOW"!
XOXO,KO

Maybe it's because my family is from New Mexico, but I've always been inspired by photographs my Grandmother Louise took of cacti on her honeymoon to Carlsbad Caverns in the 1920's. Every time I get a chance to return I try to capture that nostalgic spirit she had of seeing something for the first time.
