Banking in the RGV just got better!!!  Texas State Bank is now Compass Bank.  The executives of the local branches met this evening to bring in the new company.  And of course, Tony Vargas Photography was there to capture the excitement.

On behalf of everyone at Tony Vargas Photography, welcome to the Rio Grande Valley!

        

Good Sunday Evening to everyone!

I like Sunday's because that is the day where most of us have escaped from the stresses of work, caught up with our errands at home, and can enjoy the day just being around family.

Well today I had the favorable task of shooting the Garcia Family Photo Shoot.  All 3 families gathered on this Sunday, and we had a great time and took some great pictures.

Thank you for allowing Tony Vargas Photography to capture this special day for you, and we look foward to serving you in the years to come.

As always, here are a few samples of today's shoot.

        

Last night I had the honor of shooting a very fun wedding of two good friends of mine - Natalie Ruiz and Michael Ruiz.  They had a beautiful outdoor (and mosquit-free) wedding in Edinburg, Texas. 

It was quite interesting to be part of this wedding since Natalie and I went to high school together and graduated the same year.  This made it extra special for us to be part of their wedding day.

Congrats to the new Mr. and Mrs. Ruiz !!!!!!

 

        

Howdy everyone!

Sorry for the lack of blogging communication.  We have been inundated with work, various projects, and getting through Hurricane Dolly.

Really quick, I want to announce that the website is getting a bit of a face lift that should launch by the 1st of August.  We are going to make the website easier for visitors to navigate through, offer more information to our potential clients,  and update our portfolios as well.  So come back and check us out, and check to see what our new promotions are.  HINT HINT... they cater to family portraits.....

And speaking of family portraits, Tony Vargas Photography has recently traveled to South Padre Island, Texas to take some very nice family portraits and very GQ senior portraits. 

Both clients were both fun to work with and offered some great ideas for creativity.  Thank you both for allowing Tony Vargas Photography to capture your portraits.

Enjoy.

 

 
 

 

        

With a new month, we have decided to announce a new promotion geared to attract and help out potential clients.  As a newly wed, I can clearly understand the stress and the long preparation in planning a wedding.  I also know that a wedding can come with a price tag.  To help alleviate that stress, we are rolling out a great promotion.

For the month of July only, we are offering to secure your special day for $100.00!  Rather than paying $250-$500, or more to save the date, we are accepting $100.00 to save the date.  And it goes towards your balance!!!

For more information email me at tonyvargas@tonyvargasphotography.com or call me at 956.537.4449 to setup your free consultation.  But hurry - we are filling up fast!!!!

Best of luck,
Tony Vargas

I was feeling a bit inspired this evening and thought I would combine two of my passions - photography and music. 

Just as a side note, I am not a videographer - so please bare with my limited video editing capabilities.  Enjoy the show.

Good Thursday Evening.

This week went by fast - but as fast as it has gone by, it is still not Friday!  I was looking at my appointment book today, and besides a quick commercial shoot on Saturday, I don't have much going on for this weekend.  I am just really eager to get back to my office, and spend the entire weekend editing my pics.

Take today for example.  I had a lot of deadlines to meet, piles of paper work to organize, a phone that doesn't stop ringing, and about 36 emails I need to reply to.  Instead of rushing home to get away from the business,  I find myself rushing home, getting a nice cold soda from the refrig, and reviewing/editing pictures 15 minutes after I got home.  Though this is work - I actually enjoy it.  And to think of it - even after an 8-hour wedding, I still come home to start editing pictures that same night.

What I am getting to is that no matter how stressed a person gets, no matter what issues you have to deal with - looking at a photo can just make you feel good.  Hey, that is why we have pictures of our friends and family in frames all around us - at home and at work.

A photo captures "that moment."  And with weddings - all of "those moments" are great memories.  I think about the weddings I have done in just this month - the love that was in the air, the never-ending smiles, the good times, etc.  Just thinking of that leaves me in a great mood for the rest of the day.

So to wrap this up, I know a lot of family members from the Keri and Rolly wedding are very eager to see some pics.  As of now, I am on sched. to post nearly 1000 photos by this weekend.  But in the mean time, let me share with you some pictures from the event.

I hope these pictures help you re-live "that moment", and bring you happiness for the rest of the evening.

Enjoy, 
Tony Vargas
