A much needed vacation....

Well, Steve and I have never taken a vacation since the start of Magek Photography. We are however, going to now (kind of...). We will actually be a little out of pocket for the next few days. We are taking the kids to Lake Conroe for a little R&R. I will have my phone with me- 832-794-8616 and we are going to try to check email while we are there- sburk@magekphoto.com if you need to reach us. I'm not sure how well the email will work, since I don't know if we have internet access. My phone does have the ability to connect to the internet serve as a modem to the laptop, but if you need to reach us- I would suggest calling:) Kim is going to mind the store while we are gone, so to speak. We are taking the cameras with us- of course- so there will be pictures!!!!

Michael and Nieves

Today we did an engagement session for Michael and Nieves. We had a great time walking around downtown, and took some amazing pictures!!!!! Since we just got home, I don't have any to post yet. I will post some tomorrow for sure!


Okay, I snagged one from Steve as he was loading them into the computer!!!! More to come though....

Jeremy and Amanda

Jeremy and Amanda got married at the Raisin L Ranch, near Victoria, TX. It was a beautiful wedding, and here are a few of my favorites....



To view all of their pictures, go to our website, http://www.maekphoto.com/ and click on wedding pictures. They are near the top of the list.

Hannah Mae

Today we are attending a memorial for dear Hannah Mae. Hannah was a friend of our family, and of my children. She went to heaven last year, at only 8 years old. God Bless her family and friends. Caren, her mother, is an amazing woman. I am sure that today will be a day of joy, rather than of tears. Please put the Greer/ Hoffman family in your prayers. I will upload pictures when we get back!

Mark and Christa

Here is a peak at Mark and Christa's wedding. Their entire wedding is posted under wedding pictures. They had a great wedding. It was at the Hilton on Nasa Rd 1.

Adrienne and Tyler's wedding

Here is a sneak peak at Adrienne and Tyler's wedding. The wedding took place at St. Michael's church and the reception was at Rockefeller Hall in the Heights. Awesome wedding, and Tyler and Adrienne were amazing!!!!!!

Nathan and Jennifer

Here are some of my favorites from Nathan and Jennifer's wedding. Their wedding was absolutely amazing, very simple and elegant, and two very in love people!!!! As you will see from my favorites, they really took time to take pictures of the two of them! They set aside time before the wedding for the two of them, and the results were beautiful:) Nathan even wrote a song which he sang and played on the piano during the wedding to Jennifer.

Slideshow from a recent wedding

Here is a slideshow from a recent wedding.

Slideshows....

As you can see from our website, we have included slideshows. We really do want to hear from you which pictures we should include in the slideshow. I am working on doing a Featured Love Story each week, and adding a new page for the ones we have created. Please let us know what you think and any techinical difficulties you might have viewing them! We usually use Kim's internet as a test because hers is so slow, but please let us know.


Here's a peek at what we have been up to....

For the guys!!!

Okay gentlemen, typically we photograph the ladies getting ready on their wedding day- make-up, hair done, etc.... The guys, well, they often just "get ready." Mom or some other female helps them put on their cuff links, fix their ties, etc. Nothing out of the ordinary. Well, gentleman, if you haven't been to Roosters, you should go. This is definitely an out of the ordinary experience, at least that is what all 5 guys said when we photographed them getting a shave! It is by no means a typical shave, or least nothing I have ever seen (mind you I am female, so this may not be anything extraordinary to the guys out there). When the professionals at Roosters shaves you, they do a full facial massage. Ladies, I know what you are thinking, maybe we should go- not for the shave, but for the massage. However, it is definitely not a place for girls. You can get a pedicure and a manicure, but you will have to endure while watching cartoons or ESPN, and drinking a beer. Yes, I did say, drinking a beer. Even though it was early, they offered the guys beer- and of course they took them up on the offer. It was an amazing place- for guys! So, gentlemen, when your wife/bride/girlfriend says she is going to get her nails done, go to Roosters and get a shave. I'm sure you deserve it!!!! We visited the one on Fairmont Parkway in Pasadena, TX- ask for Mary! Their website is http://www.roostershouston.com/ Here are some pics!
