Brandi and Ty married! 6.6.09 {oklahoma city wedding photographers}

As a married couple, we Traina’s adore the relationships and marriages of our clients. And as artistically driven photographers there’s nothing we want more than clients who are willing to give us 5 minutes here and there to unleash our creative monster. For this affair Brandi & Ty enjoyed their “dream wedding”, while the Traina’s enjoyed photographing some of our most adventurous clients ever! The creative sessions were so amazing for this wedding I actually lost sleep in my excitement to edit them… a problem we happily accept.

Wedding Gown: Moliere
Florist: Hydrangea

Outdoor Maternity Session {oklahoma city maternity photographer}

Lucia is a dear friend of mine, and I can’t wait to meet little Evelyn. We had some beautiful sunlight coming in thru the trees, and we did our session just in time. The next day, this field was mowed flat! {sigh}
Keep a watch out for Evelyn’s arrival in the next few weeks, I will be documenting the birth, and of course her sleepy newborn portraits soon after!

Kurt Kemling - July 22, 2009 - 10:51 pm

Very nice work!!!! Love the backlighting and way you seemingly connected with the subject. People don’t put enough value in that virtue; it is one thing money can’t buy or the newest gear can’t give you, and you HAVE it!

Audrey - June 25, 2009 - 8:53 pm

The picture in the middle of the trees really gives serene feelings and warmth. You are indeed a genius!

Elizabeth Horner - June 6, 2009 - 10:40 pm

Brittany I know your mom will be looking down and smiling for the two of you. The story about your mom’s shoes made us smile. May God Bless your marriage and may you have many happy years together.

Linda Atchley - May 27, 2009 - 7:59 pm

Russell and Brittany your engagement pictures are lovely! I especially like the black and white close-up. Brittany, the picture of you holding your mom’s shoes with the explanation of of her loss expresses the trascending depth of love through time. I think the expressions on your faces in the third picture are probably my favorite, yet admit the head shots of the two of you look quite glamorous. I’m pleased to count such celebrities as my friends. Love to you both. – Linda

Sheila - May 27, 2009 - 5:43 pm

Russell & Brittany—

I was one of Regina’s best friends in high school at Midwest City.

I really enjoyed your engagement photos! What a lovely/handsome couple you make!! I was also very touched by the photos honoring the special mother lost in the OKC bombing in 1995. That was so sweet.

I wish you both all the best a marriage has to bring! Always remember it’s the “little things” you do for one another that’s important.

Pat
