Matt+Diana | engagement

I met Matt on the tennis court recently–nice serve, solid ground strokes–and learned he’d be getting married soon. I was pleasantly surprised to have him call a week or so later, not for a game, but to talk photography. The more I heard, the more I knew I’d enjoy being a part of their day. He and Diana wanted to do engagement photos around the Allen Parkway and downtown areas they frequent when they get out for walks and runs, dates, and general relaxing with one another. Here’s a few shots from this recent session, and the link to their gallery.

HOTT Tennis | sports photography

The 2011 edition of the Houston Oilman’s Tennis Tournament (HOTT) hit the ground running this year–held March 31-April 2–with a shortened, three-day format, great weather the entire weekend (that’s new!) and a refreshed party area at the Giammalva Racquet Club. This year’s event rings in the 30th anniversary of the tournament, held continuously since 1981, for oil and gas operators and service providers. The quality of play was amazing; there were many new enthusiasts and former tourney/college players in the draw, raising the competitive level in all flights. The weather and new deck area also improved the overall social-event schedule throughout the weekend. The Checkered Past band rocked out the tunes during the dinner and dance Saturday night. Check out all the images from the weekend’s fun here.
