As events begin booking up again in Dallas and across the US, you are going to have a lot of different vendors to hire, including your Dallas corporate event photographer. As the economy and event industry begin to open up, marketing for these events is arguably as important as it ever has been. This is where excellent photography becomes a must-have.

Are you ready? I said, Are. You. READY!!?! Sorry, clearly the lack of sporting events is making me feel like a pump up is necessary, though I don’t know if that’s the exact reason you are here. So where were we? Oh yes, are you ready? And no, I don’t mean do you have a 5-year supply of toilet paper on hand. Are you ready to get this party started!? I mean guys, we are going to beat this thing. Even if there are flare ups and it takes a while to tamp down this virus, we are going to get there, and I think the economy will start rolling again in a big way.

There are so many aspects to our lives that were affected by the Coronavirus. As with all of you, I have never experienced such a disruption at any time in my life, and you would have to go back several generations to see anyone that ever lived with something this unbelievable. As we roll through this pandemic, my Dallas event photographer self has taken some time to process several areas in my life, and I have had some revelations, and am also experiencing a much deeper gratitude for things that seemed commonplace before.

For several years I’ve enjoyed shooting and producing the stills content for Earth Day Texas, now officially known as EarthX. They describe themselves as the “World’s largest environmental expo, conference and film festival.” The event always falls right around the anniversary of Earth Day, and typically draws over 100,000 people over a weekend. My Dallas event photography team and I spread out all over Fair Park to cover the variety of meetings, speakers, exhibitions and film screenings to show how amazing this event is, and the impact they have on people’s mindsets regarding the environment.

I had the opportunity to photograph the engagement party for Jacqueline Sewell and Phillip Taylor, and wanted to share a few of the images with you guys. The party was held at the lovely Sewell home in Dallas, and was the perfect place to celebrate the happy couple’s engagement.
