Tobi and Toni met me at the Cotton Mill in McKinney for their engagement session where we had a great time exploring. I also learned more about their relationship and their wedding, which is going to be just awesome!

Tobi and Toni are both Nigerian with very special names. Tobi is short for tobiluwa, which means "God is big" and Toni is short for olutoni, which is means "God is enough". I just think this is so neat. They both met at the University of Texas while they went to school there and they are continuing their relationship in the Houston area. Enjoy the pictures!

I have been mainly focused on weddings for the last 4 years, but every now and then someone asks me to do a family portrait or take pictures of their kids to share with family and friends. I really enjoy this kind of photography and I hope to do more in the future.

I have been documenting weddings now for about 4 years and I have never entered a contest so I decided to do just that today. I have entered the TopKnots Photography Contest put on by TheKnot.com. Many of my clients use The Knot to find their vendors and also find me as well. I have entered what I think are some of my best photos and I am hoping to bring home the prize so to speak.

If you are reading this you can help me out by voting for my pictures for the People Choice Award. I would really appreciate it if you took the time to click on over the contest website and check out my photos and vote on the ones you like. Just click on People Choice once you are there and enter Hansel Dobbs in the photographer search box. Enjoy!

Vincent and Jennifer were a pleasure to work with and just had a great time in front of the camera. I had a great time just snapping pictures while they laughed and interacted with one another and those are the photographs that turned out to be my favorites. Photographing relationships like this is what makes doing engagement sessions so much fun.
