THE 150 BEST PHOTOS OF 2017

January 5, 2018 • Tamytha Cameron •

Happy New Year friends! I just realized as I was going over all my photos from the past year to choose these very special 150 that this is my 6th year to do this! That makes me so happy! I do want to say that this is a totally subjective grouping in that these are my favorites… and have not been chosen by voting, or an impartial panel or anything even remotely like that. Some of the photos were taken by my daughter Celeste, which I must note because darn it I didn’t get to go to New Zealand where a couple of these were taken. I love every one of my clients and every wedding, event and portrait session is so important to me. But there is something about certain photos that just jump out at you, either aesthetically, or emotionally, or compositionally… and sometimes because of what they represent or say. And every year I do this it gets harder… I mean to tell you it’s difficult to choose just 150 out of over 100,000 photos. This is just something I do to reflect over my past year of work and to celebrate my clients and to celebrate creativity! A lot of lot of love went into each and every one of these photos and it was such a joy and honor to work with each of you and to be a part of your lives in this way. Here’s to more photo adventures in 2018!

MEGAN AND JOE TIE THE KNOT IN POETRY, TEXAS

March 18, 2016 • Tamytha Cameron •

Megan and Joe are the kind of couple that you can spend 5 minutes with and tell that they are so in tune with one another. They have such an apparent connection that you feel an overflow of happiness just being around them. Megan found me through a friend who is a client and the first time we met at Starbucks her face glowed with that smile you will see in many of these images when she spoke about Joe. Not only do they have that romantic spark, but they are the best of friends. The day of their wedding Texas had been experiencing rain the entire week previous, but the sun came out for these two in lovely Poetry Texas at the bride’s parent’s home. It was an absolutely idyllic setting by a charming lake and the blue sky made the perfect backdrop. From the girl’s time getting ready together in their adorable floral Etsy robes to the sparklers and fireworks that lit up the sky as the evening’s celebrations came to a close, I’m going to let the images tell the happy story.

MEGAN AND BRENDAN SO IN LOVE…

January 20, 2016 • Tamytha Cameron •

I first met Megan when I took her pictures when she was graduating from college. I was struck then by her calm easy demeanor and of course how beautiful she is, and as I usually do, I talk with my clients about their lives when we are shooting and ask lots of questions. Her eyes lit up when she talked about her guy, and how well he treated her. Then when we met again after she became engaged and we were talking about the photography for their upcoming wedding, she told me about the elaborate scavenger hunt he planned for her to pop the question. This young man certainly knows a thing or two about women! When I met him for the first time during this engagement shoot I saw instantly what a gentleman Brendan is, and how in love these two are. Brendan posted one of these images of the two of them throwing leaves on Facebook with the caption “This is what it is like marrying your best friend.” There isn’t really much I can say to top that! I can’t wait for their November wedding, it is going to be as gorgeous as they are together!

ALI AND KASPAR

July 16, 2015 • Tamytha Cameron •

It’s immediately obvious when you meet Ali and Kaspar that they are beautiful people… these images will attest to that. It’s also immediately evident how easy they are with one another, and how crazy they are about each other too. But what you may not immediately pick up on is all the things that make them uniquely them… things we incorporated into their session. Things like Kaspar’s love of donuts, Ali’s sense of style, and Kaspar’s passion for longboarding… which he shares with Ali… I mean look at the two of them on that board! And have you ever seen two people who can knock out handstands like that on a hot afternoon in jeans? We met at the Filter Building at White Rock Lake and it made the perfect backdrop for these two. It was an absolutely perfect summer day in Dallas and we had a ball! I am so excited about these images… I have been posting them on Instagram like crazy and everyone loves them. These two were adventurous and a dream to work with and Celeste and I are so excited about their Long Island wedding coming up in September! Ali and Kaspar met there as kids, so what better place for them to commit to forever?

NAT AND NICOLE SO OBVIOUSLY IN LOVE!

May 3, 2015 • Tamytha Cameron •

Some couples just make marriage look good… and Nat and Nicole absolutely do! They are so obviously crazy about each other and truly enjoy each other’s company that it is infectious… and there was a lot of laughter the day of this shoot. I shot this session some time ago in one of my favorite spots… downtown near the AT&T Performing Arts Center. So many great nooks and crannies… architecture and greenspace… but Nat and Nicole outshone all their surroundings. I mean Nicole’s smile is a stunner! They brought their adorable dogs along and the four of them are so cute together I can hardly stand it!

I had so much fun with you guys!

TALIA AND JOSH ARE ADORABLE, AND GETTING MARRIED!

February 25, 2015 • Tamytha Cameron •

Talia and Josh are such an adorable couple! The first time I met them at Starbucks along with Talia’s mom to talk wedding photography I was immediately drawn in by their warm personalities. Talia has one of those smiles that lights up the room, and Josh so obviously loves her that it’s impossible not to smile when you are with them. Laughter spilled over during our engagement session and the connection and chemistry between these two is so evident. They are having a beautiful May wedding at Cross Creek Ranch in Parker and the day is drawing near… everything is coming together for their big day… and I am excited to share these images of these two lovebirds. Josh is a baseball player, having played throughout his college career, so they thought some baseball themed photos should be a part of their session… and even though they now root for different teams, its all in good fun… and the results are totally charming!

THE BEST OF 2014

January 24, 2015 • Tamytha Cameron •

The intention was to have this post up and running the first week of January… but alas… crazy life got in the way and now January is almost over. Nevertheless I said I was going to do a “Best of 2014” blog post so here it is… and the old words ring true… better late than never! It is always a challenge and a joy to choose my favorite photos from a year of my work. I put my heart into every photo so there is a little something of me in every one… These 125 photos were chosen from a pared down pool of about 20,000 photos. I can’t always explain why I love a photo… suffice it to say that sometimes it’s simply aesthetics, sometimes meaning, and sometimes it is something personal… no matter the why I hope you enjoy these photos as much as I do.

THE PATRICK FAMILY

December 12, 2014 • Tamytha Cameron •

This is the season for wonderful family portraiture… and I am more than thrilled to share my session with the Patrick Family. I went to high school with Rob, and we reconnected as so many friends do, through Facebook. I have wanted to photograph his family ever since I saw photos of his romantic marriage proposal to Alisha in a hot air balloon. The way he speaks of her on Facebook and in person is so lovely… and one of the things I most admire in a man is his ability to love a woman well. Alisha and Rob and I had a long conversation over coffee about life and family before our session and I can assure you they are as beautiful on the outside as they are on the inside. Rob is also an excellent father to his son Carson, which is very evident in these photos… their father and son camaraderie is a really wonderful thing to watch. Rob, Alisha and Carson are a joy to spend time with and I think it shows in these images. I think family photos are so precious and so important for creating our legacy for those we love.

Speaking of love… these two are pretty romantic together… and you all know how I love photos of love.

Is there anything more heartwarming than a father and son who have that special bond and who just love being together?

This family has so much fun together… and their spirit of fun was contagious!

Rob, Alisha and Carson you three were a joy to work with! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone!

CATHY AND LEN ARE NOW MR. AND MRS. … AND THE JOY OVERFLOWED…

August 7, 2014 • Tamytha Cameron •

Cathy is one of my very best friends in the world… actually, she is more like family. My two girls and I lovingly call Cathy and her two sons Chris and Stephen our twin family… because we all have so much in common and we regularly have twin family dinners whenever we are all in town… the kids in from various universities over the recent years. Of course we gladly welcome Len into our twin family and we are pretty crazy about this man who treats Cathy like a queen and always has… the man buys her shoes for heaven’s sake! And this aside Len is so caring toward all of his and Cathy’s friends and if there is a need he can meet or he can connect you with someone who can, you can consider it done. Cathy and Len are two of the most loving, interesting, nurturing people I have ever known, and we laugh so much when we are together. So it was thrilling for me when Celeste and I were able to photograph the ceremony on the day that they became husband and wife. Len is a very talented musician, a percussionist, and Cathy is the producer of several local cable shows, About Towne, Profiles, and Discover Irving. She is also a very talented storyteller and actor. They are definitely a couple who are comfortable in front of others, but during their wedding ceremony they only had eyes for each other. They have been together for many years and all of their friends and loved ones were anxious to be there to celebrate with them. They were married at the canals at Las Colinas in the city of Irving, where Cathy has worked for over 20 years, and it was a lovely June day in Texas.

Once everyone had gathered Cathy arrived in her stylish red dress… which is so very appropriate for Cathy as she is so regal and vibrant and filled with a passion for life… her two sons stepped up and walked her to her groom…

I get a little emotional every time I look at those photos of Cathy and her boys… she is so happy and they are so happy for thier mom… sigh…it melts the heart. And then the ceremony began… with loved ones gathered round… and the vows were exchanged…

It may be true that youth is wasted on the young… but I can assure you that passion isn’t… I photograph a lot of weddings and have rarely seen a more passionate kiss…

Everyone was basking in this couple’s happiness… and Len warmly thanked everyone for being there… I swear I don’t think I’ve ever seen a man happier… And when Len mentioned how long it had taken them to actually tie the knot, Cathy had some opinions to interject… just a few of course.

When your best friend is a wedding photographer, and you are wearing a killer new dress, you have to pose for endless romantic couple photos on your wedding day… But I don’t think Cathy minded. And Len… well few men are as stylish and dapper as Len. This man can walk into a thrift store and walk out looking like he has stepped out of Brooks Brothers. He is rocking the seersucker and bow tie for his summer nuptials. Some dear friends had brought kazoos to provide mood music for the photo shoot… so a snappy rendition of “here comes the bride” ensued…

Couple photos complete, the wedding documents were signed and the party commenced! There were hugs all around and a lot of smiles and laughter…

I love these people and these photos so much. Cathy and Len we wish you every joy and continued happiness… and of course lots of laughter! xoxo

ASHLEY AND TREVOR’S DREAMY BEACH WEDDING

August 6, 2014 • Tamytha Cameron •

Ashley and Trevor are one of those couples who are so easy around one another, so affectionate and sweet, so obviously in love… that just being around them makes you smile. It was such a joy for Celeste and I to travel to Cancun to photograph their wedding day at the lovely Fiesta Americana Condesa Resort. Both Ashley and Trevor’s families are such warm, kind, fun people and there was so much love all around that we all just rode the wave of happiness. The light and the colors of a beach wedding are so exquisite, so bright and fresh and vibrant. The colors Ashley chose and her lovely, lacey empire waist gown and foot jewelry were perfect. And as they always say… a picture… or in this case a whole bunch of pictures… of all this loveliness, are worth a thousand words.

Girls are not the only ones who primp before the ceremony… over in the guy’s room there was some serious tie tying going on… also, notice the cool cuff links the guys wore!

Ashley did a first look in her dress with her Dad… which is always so sweet…

And then it was time to go down to the beach… where Ashley and Trevor’s life as husband and wife would begin by the ocean…

This was truly one of the sweetest ceremonies I have ever witnessed… so genuine and full of love…

Along with the shots of the girls preparing for the day… my favorite shots from any wedding are the romantic shots of the couple… and these are truly some of my favorites of all time…

Once the vows had been said and the kiss had occurred, everyone was ready to celebrate. There was a gorgeous reception set up on a veranda overlooking the beach, with the most beautiful flowers and linens. Notice the adorable cake topper from Etsy that says “To the moon and back,” which was one of my favorite details… and the couple had provided colored wayfarer sunglasses for every guest. As it turned out, umbrella’s might have been in order. As nature often does, a summer rain came through and tried to dampen everyone’s spirits… but this group’s spirit couldn’t be dampened. Even though it was necessary to move the party indoors Ashley and Trevor rolled with it with such grace and good humor… and everyone had a wonderful evening.

One of the best parts of any wedding reception is the dancing… and this group certainly knows how to hit the dance floor!

What a perfect wedding day… the rain didn’t even put a dent in Ashley and Trevor’s joy and they enjoyed every moment of their day. What an honor to be there to capture it for them… we wish you and your families every joy!
