Blog - Rodeo & Co. Photography | Wedding Photographer

We are trying something new this wedding season….staying consistent with this little blog & keeping up to date on all our news and travels…. That said, we are going to keep the blog sweet and simple…and from each wedding share a happy moment, an honest moment & a fun detail. {Because many of our weddings are featured in magazines and blogs, we are a bit limited in what we can share & when…so we don’t want give away all the details…} AND, more practically, after over a decade of having a blog, it’s pretty evident that I just won’t keep up! Three sweet images seems pretty perfect to me…. First up, See-Ming & Greg at the Otesaga Resort this past weekend with the talented & kind Amy Nichols Special Events… This was a true destination wedding… not a SINGLE person there was from Cooperstown, New York! There was so much love for these two kind souls- we just felt so lucky to be there!

HAPPY: Greg & Sing-Ming stepped out of the reception for a few minutes to enjoy the calm & each other down by the dock… and the anxiety of a wedding day had slipped away by then…

HONEST: Greg shaking his dad’s hand as the newlyweds walked back down the aisle. I just adore this tender, unscripted moment.

FUN DETAIL: All of the special kids in Greg & See-Ming’s life were treated to these carefully curated kid’s welcome bags that celebrated all things Cooperstown, NY- home of the Baseball Hall of Fame.

Last week both Arinn & I attend The Hybrid Co, in San Antonio….my first trip to Texas! YAY! I am so glad I took the opportunity to learn from Katie Grant– her Art History Inspired Lesson & Shoot was not only gorgeous, she really took the time to chat 1:1 and help me learn how to do the things I’ve been wanting to learn. My boys asked why I was signing up for classes {like, why,mom…do you WANT to go to school?} — and it was easy to say, you NEVER stop learning. You NEVER stop pushing yourself. I think when the passion to learn more and more about your craft starts to die out, perhaps it’s time to stop and think about why you are doing what you do. Apologies for rambling… Thank you, Katie, for sharing your wisdom and insight… I especially enjoyed the Art History Lecture and studying how masterpieces can & should continue to influence our current work.
