Candice and Minute Maid Park

It's a rare treat getting the opportunity to photograph somewhere special, and to me, Minute Maid Park is special. I do  call myself an Astro's fan, I am not die hard shave my head for good luck type of fan, but a fan. I love watching their games and appreciate everything they do and how they represent the city of Houston. Terry is a huge fan and since we have been dating, following the Astro's each year and seeing them when they are at home is part of our relationship. So when Candice told me she wanted her bridal session in Minute Maid I was ecstatic. I would get to walk on the same dirt and (secretively) touch the same grass Lance, Pence, Lee, walk on and what Ausmus, Biggio, and Bagwell use to walk on. Just awesome. I was a little sad that I wasn't able to share this opportunity with Terry, because this is something that he would of truly appreciated, way more than I ever could. However, now that I know that you can rent Minute Maid by the hour, I think I might have a good idea for our anniversary this year...

Anyway, we got an hour to photograph in the stadium. And I never knew how quickly an hour could fly by. There was soo much I wish I could of done and photographed, but an hour is an hour.  Either way, I think Candice and I got some great shots and with her also being a bigger fan than me, I know she will truly appreciate what we shot.

After our hour was up, we decided to shoot at a few places around Minute Maid. This was one of those session where I just can't pick a few favorites. Candice was great to work with, her sister-in-law and brother were awesome at helping out and making sure Candice had the perfect bridal session.

Her eyes are amazing! They required no PP, they catch the light beautifully and are so rich in color!

I think this is my favorite...

Or this one...

And finally, just a few practice throws before the real thing...
