This is a speeeeeeedy update - it cost 2 Euros (about $3) for 15 minutes of internet time. Just long enough to write a FAST post, post photos, and run!

Koln (Cologne), Germany:

Bacharach, Germany (Rhine river valley), where we are staying for 2 nights in the castle overlooking the town:

Burg Eltz (near Mosel river valley):

More to come soon, when the internet doesn’t cost so much!

In Houston? Pick up a copy of the July issue of BarStool magazine and you’ll see my photographs in it! I photographed the bartender for the Bartender of the Month feature, and then did a separate shoot at Leon’s Lounge on McGowen in Midtown. It was such an incredible rush to see my photographs in print, and while I did a speed posting on Flickr, I can’t believe I didn’t share them in the blog too!

August’s issue will have more photographs by me, and photographs that Elaine took also - amazing stuff, I’m just bursting at the seams waiting to share!

(Cross posted, in case you’re curious, in my wedding photography blog and my personal blog.)

Yale Street Market this month was a lot of fun, although we started off a bit wet! The rain stopped eventually and we were happy to see so many great people! Thanks for stopping by if you were one of them!

We’ve now started spotting the Weddings in Houston magazine on store shelves with our ad in the photography section! The ad went to print back in mid-May, and then in mid-June I made the difficult decision to move the wedding & portrait information over to my new site at ChristineTremoulet.com. Difficult mainly because of the ad! In the long run, I think it will be the right choice - so if you’re here because of WiH, go check out the wedding goodness over there!

And if you spot the latest issue on the shelf, be sure to check it out!

It is that time again! Yale Street Market is this Saturday! Elaine & I will be there, and there will be lots of great prints for sale! The market is from 6pm - 10pm (Summer Hours!) and it is really a fun time.

Last month, Mitch asked me if I would go and photograph the performing artist for June, Carrie Ann Buchanan. I did, and gave him permission to use the photos with the press releases he has been sending out. The featured photograph here is also the featured image along with the information on Yale Street Market at the ArtsHound site! It is currently right on the first page. This morning, my Mom called me while reading the Houston Chronicle’s local weekend section. (Tomball, Klein & Spring) She had recognized the photo and we were specifically mentioned at being at the show! How cool is that?

Today, the latest copy of BarStool Magazine Houston will be hitting the streets, including my photos of the Bartender of the Month, Ashley at Baker Street Pub - Willowbrook! It was fun having a chance to photograph her a few weeks ago, and I’ve been anxiously waiting for the magazines to come out so that I could share! She is such a sweetheart - be sure to visit Baker Street Pub and have her pour you a Guinness or two! (But remember to drink responsibly.) I also shot photos of Leon’s Lounge for the magazine - what a cool place! The neighborhood bar, with unexpected chandaliers all over the place! That just amused me to no end. The people were friendly, the bartender was fun, and it is definitely a place to go visit.

We did a few other shoots for BarStool, but mums the word until the August issue comes out and they are featured in it!
