Some of you may remember Preston, the actor from LA whose headshots I photographed awhile back (as well as his twin brother Drew, whose wedding I shot a couple months ago). I was extremely disappointed that I couldn’t photograph Preston’s wedding, since I pretty much love the entire Jones family, but I at least managed to get in a quick last-minute engagement session a few days before their wedding. Preston and Ashley wanted to do something similar to Sarah and Drew’s engagement session, so we headed to a local park here in Frisco to enjoy the beautiful summer weather.
We started off easy with a simple, relaxed portrait (see? I know how to take normal, smile-at-the-camera photos!)
And we found Frisco’s largest playground, which of course meant having a little fun!
Getting a little more dramatic and romantic..
It had been raining all day, so I brought along a few umbrellas just in case, but luckily for us, the sun came out about halfway through the session, so I decided to get a little creative with the umbrella! The photo on the left was inspired by the lovely and talented Susan Yee – Check her out!
Based on how dreary and gloomy it was all day, I can’t believe we managed to get these gorgeous skies at just the right time!
And last but not least, I looooooove my flare!
I had so many great images from this session, I decided to do a slideshow! It takes a bit to load, but definitely give it a shot, it is so fun to watch! I used my new favorite song, Jason Mraz’s I’m Yours, which is also being featured on my new website right now.
Preston and Ashley, thanks for making the two hour trek up here to hang out with me! I’m so glad I got the chance to shoot you both, even if I couldn’t make it to the wedding. Have fun on the honeymoon!

They are too cute! And I LOVE this song. Great job!
these are freakin’ awesome! :)
How did you stay in focus on the playground shots when they’re moving toward the camera?
Mark, I use AI Servo mode so the camera continually adjusts the focus on the subject, instead of locking the focus on one place.
These are so cute! First time visit on your blog but I love it, sure is fun!
I LOVE PRESTON , SPECIALLY HIS ACT IN ROAD TRIP …..
