Mad Camera Skills


This post is long overdue. Just like the rest.
Lisa and I were massively blessed to have a man by the name of Michael Kellett serve as our wedding photographer. He knows his stuff, and he showed it on our special day. Not only did he do his job with grandeur and ninja skills, he also picked up the slack when the reception folks at Messina Hof dropped the ball. So if you live near Bryan/College Station and are getting married, want some toddler photos, or have a high school senior in need of cheese-puff yearbook pictures, give him a dial.

On his website [kellettphotography.com], he has uploaded all 440 final edits. He also created a collaged album. So, if you have the time, stamina, and/or curiosity to view the hundreds of photos, then have at it. If not, check out the album. It's a winner too.

Enjoy. And let us know what your favorite photo/page is of the bunch. Cheers!

"Biblical headship for the husband is the divine calling to take primary responsibility for Christlike, servant-leadership, protection and provision in the home. Biblical submission for the wife is the divine calling to honor and affirm her husband's leadership and help carry it through according to her gifts. This is the way of joy. For God loves his people and he loves his glory. And therefore when we follow his idea of marriage we are most satisfied and he is most glorified."

"When the Lord visits us from on high and creates a mighty army of deeply spiritual men committed to the Word of God and global mission, the vast majority of women will rejoice over the leadership of these men and enter into a joyful partnership that upholds and honors the beautiful Biblical pattern of mature manhood and mature womanhood."

"Leadership is not a demanding demeanor. It is moving things forward to a goal. If the goal is holiness and Heaven, the leading will have the holy aroma of Heaven about it - the demeanor of Christ. Jesus led his bride to holiness and heaven on the Calvary road. He looked weak, but he was infinitely strong in saying NO to the way of the world. So it will be again and again for mature men as they take up the responsibility to lead."

"The call to leadership is a call to humble oneself and take the responsibility to be a servant-leader in ways that are appropriate to every differing relationship to women. It is a call to risk getting egg on our faces; to pray as we have never prayed before; to be constantly in the Word; to be more given to planning, more intentional, more thoughtful, less carried along by the mood of the moment; to be disciplined and ordered in our lives; to be tenderhearted and sensitive; to take the initiative to make sure there is a time and a place to talk to her about what needs to be talked about; and to be ready to lay down our lives the way Christ did if that is necessary."
