What a great post! I loved every single shot!

I love this! This is possibly my favorite shoot you have done. Im fascinated by it, and also by HER! What a beautiful bride with amazing taste.

You guys are amazing! Great work! I just love all of the use of the shadows.

These are sooo beautiful. And I love her dress, it's so unique and vintage looking.

How did you NOT get kicked out of Dos Lagos?! We're always getting kicked out! Great shots : )

Geez...that is amazing stuff...you are, like, my new idol (s).... can't wait for more... xoxo Tonya

WOW - very creative for dos lagos. lots of fun checking out your shots. congrats on being the blu photogs of the year. :) bridget

I absolutley love the you and me picture!! Those stairs rock!!!

gorgeous vintage yellow... how do you get this incredibly wash over your images? those stairs have caught my attention... any chance you know what the entire text says?

seriously -- how does one pick a favorite?! these are outta control rad... i love, love the play on shadows sooooo much! the "you and me" killed me! your talent is crazy off the charts!!!!

These are FABULOUS!!!! Those hammock shots are so creative and beautiful!!!! Great work!!!

Wow! My favorites are the one of them shot through the hammock netting and the one on the stairs. Awesome, awesome stuff!

love the DOF-y one on the hammock and the You + Me shot. Great work, as always!

That shot on the stairs is SO FUN! =)

I really love the light bands across their eyes. The shots on the hammock and staircase are beautiful!!! congratulations too.

seriously your so good!!!!!!! love these

I love the the black and white shot of their profiles and their noses are touching. I don't know - there is something about it that makes me smile inside. So cute! Love this session - lots of emotion and FUN!

Hello? I DON'T THINK SO. I'm making a suggestion to all other photographers...don't do what these crazy people, the LYONS do (I'm never that negative, but come on) umm, shadows a problem much? I DON'T THINK SO!! AH (amelia and hud), thank you! For what you ask? That's a stupid question, don't ask it. Just listen hard this time and feel it when I say Thank You. I'm tired. THANK YOU!

LOVE this shoot. fantastic.

Well, I don't really know which one to chose as a favorite, b/c they are all fab-U-lous! I love the silhoette, and them laying down in the grass-mostly grass with a little bit of couple and I just love the coloring on your images. simply awesome!

I love that shadow shot! Amazing!!

WOWSERS! I love the b/w fish wall shot and the tree silhouette! BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!

omg, I love your work! So great!

You guys rock my boat,, wave after wave. Love the overhead grass shot as well. Well done right?? Right!

Oooh I love them, my faves are the ones of them lying in the grass but they are all fabbbbulous.

wow, those kept getting better and better as i scrolled down :) awesome set.

Love the shot of the feet at sunset. Makes me miss the west coast! Lovely collection for a lovely couple!

yesterday was fun and i'm so excited to see your work!! thanks for everything!!

omg! i just found your blog from the blu domain blog......and i don't know how i lived before that!!!!!!!! AMAZING! WOW! SUPER! SPECTACULAR! LOVE your work! Rock on!

Amelia baDelia. Great shots! Love the shadowed crazy tree one. Emotional...I get that. Justin, these totally look different after a brownie from Chronic Taco. I'm kidding...you know I'm brownie intolerant. Just can't do it captain, I don't...have...the Power!

I can't pick a favorite, I love them all!!! Makes me wish I had an ocean to shoot by --- Awesome job! :)

Excellent Job Mrs. Lyon!!!

Wow, awesome images! She's so beautiful and has great style...you guys really did a great job on these! And I checked out her site, and she is doing some really great work already.

hotness!! what great pics. how lucky were david and i too have such talent shoot our wedding!!

As always, absolutely fantastic. You are very talented :)

These are gorgeous! LOVE that she was rockin' the bubble tea! :D

These pics rock Amelia! We've been admiring Denise's work for a little while and think these pics capture her style perfectly! We used to visit that bubble tea place all the time and didn't even realize how many great places to shoot there are around there.

Wow! If I were her I would have an EXTREMELY hard time picking just one for my profile page. They are ALL awesome! And she is very beautiful too! Wonderful pictures! Just gorgeous!

Ummm.. you are always amazing me! I have a serious jealously issue, I want your skills! There madtastic!

these are so cute! i love the polaroid one! how fun this must have been! I'm jealous!

I love the variety of images you captured. You feel like you know her by the time you look through all the images. Nice job!

These are gorgeous. I love the feeling in them!

what?! I am soo excited about these.. just what I wanted :))) I love you!! :)....sigh...seriously!

Have you ever gotten a bad review? Seriously, like I doubt it. You want one? Okay...I'll do my best:... Roger says in his review of the Lyons taking photos of an up and comer..."Well, for my taste it was a little TOO perfectly fun and photojournalistic. It was way TOO fresh and Denise is a little TOO fashionable and good looking. I thought if the Lyons stunk just a little bit at all, this shoot would've actually made the archives as a descent shoot, with a bad after taste". There you have it, officially your first bad review. You're welcome.

P.S. Denise is radical, so check her stuff out...and her cousin looks like Jack Black's sidekick on Nacho Libre.

I love the polaroid shot, she's a cutie!

Yes, from looking at your website you guys definitely DESERVE Blu's photographers of the year! Congrats!

These are awesome! I love them! :)

OhMyGosh!!!! Seriously. I’m in love with the Polaroid shot and I too have always wanted to shoot by an oil rig, so cool. I am also a very new pt photog and have really wanted to have some fun pictures taken for my site. I totally agree that people should be able to put a face with the name, but I cant find any one to take them for me! ;) ..... Maybe you can get back to me and we can arrange something?! I would LOVE to get a few shots that are like a fraction of this hotness! BTW you guys have done an awesome job yourselves of giving a great image of who you really are with your work and you awesome pics of yourselves!

:) THATS MY GIRL!! You did such an amazing job of capturing "the cuteness" that is Denise! :) and u got that dimple going in a few of these hehe... She's such a sweetheart, and pretty funny so these are GREAT!! AND your style is awesome! Congrats on winning BLU! I'm sure Denise is not soo far behind, you're right-- she's an upcoming AWESOME photographer! GREAT JOB again.

Really inspiring work...from the both of you!

I cant love this shoot anymore then I do! It is amazing. WOW. P.S. I recognized you guys at the Market tonight...we have never met so I was too shy to approach you guys. Me, my hubby and daughter go there all the time :)

I love these shot! And I am really loving the pp on these....

These are full of greatness!! Awesome photogs unite!!

W H O A ........ gorgeous!

Lollicup! Well, after seeing her site, I'm not surprised she has good taste. ;) Awesome pics man; good friend you are.

I love the one of her with the Polaroids! It totally rocks! She looks like sooo much fun!

These are all amazing!! I especially love the one with all the the polaroids and the one where she's looking out of the window a coffee shop. I also LOVE the one right above the polaroids shot - you can see her cute ring and her pretty brown eyes - that's the one I'd probably use if it were me! These are all SO awesome!

Amelia, your freckles and Hud's galsses have more personallity than all of personallity town. That's right outside of "bad to the bone" Kingdom, if you've never been.

Hey just wanted to tell you guys congrats on the win! You guys are much deserving of this honor. I've found a new inspiration by looking at your work. We do hope to meet you guys in Vegas at WPPI 09! Hope all is well!

Hey Hud- Trying to avoid going to sleep, because that would mean I'd have to wake up and go to work. Looking around at blogs, ran into yours. Hope things are good, ran into Wiemer a few years back in London and we talked about you. Haven't talked to him since, lost his contact info (if you know where he's at, let me know so I can bug him too). Send your old MTC comp a message, it'd be cool to catch up. The other hud, Sam Hudson
