Double Knot Workshop: {DFW Wedding Photographers}
Posted on July 20, 2010
First of all, we just want to say THANK YOU to all of our Double Knot Workshop attendees! We had an amazing group of people come to our first workshop and we honestly felt like our hearts were so full after the day was done. I’m sure many of you are wondering why we would want to do a workshop, especially since we are two young girls who have not been in the business for an extremely long period of time. I think that’s an awesome question. Here’s the thing. When we were first starting out in photography, we wanted to get some personal interaction with other photographer’s that we respected. We wanted to ask them questions face to face. Dumb questions (or so we thought)… like… What should my aperture be when shooting a family of four? What lenses should I buy? How do you pose people without making your clients feel awkward? These are all things you could research for hours on end on the internet, but we really needed guidance. Micah & I took it upon ourselves to go to workshops, conferences, and classes that taught us some of these basics and more. We actually realized that we weren’t asking dumb questions… we were asking questions that ALL beginners want to know!
Since we have been so blessed in our photographic journy, we thought it would be a wonderful way to help other photographers who are just starting out if we could teach them lots of the things we wanted to know at the beginning. We wanted to spill all of our fears, failures, trials, and errors as well as the victories and blessings we’ve encountered along the way that make us who we are. Our hopes were that by the end of one full day with a few beginner photographers, they would feel inspired to try new things, dare to make mistakes, and be unique by being themselves.
We could not have been more pleased with the way the day turned out. Thanks again ladies! Ya’ll were amazing and we hope to see you all again soon!
Special thanks to the American Heritage House Bed & Breakfast for hosting our Workshop!
Micah using her teaching skills!
We went out for 2 photoshoots for hand-on learning. First we photographed a family…
Special thanks to the Thomas family. I’ve honestly never seen two more well behaved children in all of my life… and to think this was at 2:30 in the afternoon in 100 degree weather! Whew!
Anne, you’re beautiful!
Next we were off to the couple’s shoot!
Special thanks to the Hilton’s. Brady & Stephanie make gorgeous models, don’t you think?
Wow, Steph. You’re gorgeous!
A HUGE thanks to Jennifer and Cindy May (817-929-3929) for making these incredible cupcakes for our attendees. Not only do they look amazing, but they taste even better. Wow. These ladies are talented at baking cakes!
We love you ladies! Thanks so much for coming! We are praying for each of you in your future endeavors!

Here’s a video we shot at the end of Whitney & Ben’s Wedding last weekend. We wanted to give you a little scoop on what we’re really like. We’re obviously VERY sophisiticated and boring. See for yourself. 
Jonathan & Rachel: Engagement
Posted on June 8, 2010
Jonathan and I (Ashley) have been close for a couple years now. I mean, really close. Literally. He’s my dentist. Oh how I like seeing Jonathan anywhere but at the dentist’s office. He likes to get all up in my grill and poke around and tell me that I have a cavity and stuff like that. RUDE.
Okay, totally kidding about the rude part. He’s a GREAT dentist. I totally recommend him to everyone! You can find his info here. Anyway – several months ago I met a girl that he had been dating at a StoneWater picnic. I remember that Eric and I had a conversation on the way home about how we really liked her. Not only was she beautiful, but she was incredibly sweet, and most importantly – laughed at all of Jonathan’s jokes. One of the most important things for a “funny guy” to look for in a girl is someone who “gets” them. Ya know? She totally did.
Fast forward several months and Jonathan and his girl, Rachel, are engaged. I’ve spent some time with Rachel and I feel so blessed to have made a new friend! She just graduated from Southwestern Theological Seminary and is now looking for a counseling job (anyone know of one?). These two are perfect for each other and a TON of fun to be around. I think Eric and I have met our match as far as people who like to laugh their faces off at EVERYTHING. I mean it. We didn’t know there was anyone as silly as us. We love them. Okay, I will quit being creepy now.
Jonathan & Rachel are getting married in St. Lucia in August (unfortunately they have a friend that is going to photograph their wedding… so they didn’t need a wedding photographer… DARN). I know their wedding is going to be as incredible as they are!
J & R, thanks so much for letting me spend the evening with you guys laughing and enjoying capturing you love birds! I pray blessings on your marriage! Ya’ll are amazing!
