one great party . . .

we had such a good time shooting the wedding photography for danielle & joey!  danielle’s family is originally from cuba and i have to say in the most fun way possible, it was kind of like shooting my big fat cuban wedding!  ALL the family was there and they had the best time celebrating this young love!  the ceremony was held at st. rose of lima catholic church and the reception was at the plaza downtown.  we made a quick stop at discovery green on the way over to get some fun shots with the wedding party.  i don’t think i have ever seen a dance floor more packed at the end of a reception so i’m pretty sure a good time was had by all!  congratualtions danielle & joey!  we wish you the very best!

basketball teammate to beautiful bride . . .

moving back to houston has been such a good thing for our family and for our business.  one of the really fun aspects of being back is that we get to work with old friends and we love it!  carrie and i went to jr. high and high school together and played on the basketball team together and when she got married a couple of weeks ago, we got to be her wedding photographers!  in fact, one of our basket coaches performed the ceremony.  so fun!  carrie & greg had such a beautiful ceremony & reception at second baptist church and after it was all over, we went over to the omni and took some shots of just the newlyweds!  congratulations you two!

Kathy & Scott

Not to sound like a broken record, but we LOVED being the wedding photographers for Kathy & Scott.  I know we say that every time but we love our job and we love the people we get to work with!   We started the day at Hotel Derek with the girls where they had their hair and make-up done by the team at Your Beautiful Face.  Then we headed to St. Michael Catholic Church for the ceremony.  The reception was back at Hotel Derek where the decor was put together by Darryl & Co. and it looked stunning as usual!   The day went so smoothly thanks to the hard work of Kathy’s wedding coordinator Valerie Eissler from Belle of the Ball.  Kathy & Scott enjoyed themselves and each other and every minute of their wedding day!  That is what we love to see and love to capture as it all goes by so fast!  Congrats Kathy & Scott!  We are pumped for you guys and hope you have a blast in your marriage!

a little texan, and a little german . . .

We recently had the privilege of shooting the wedding photography for Lauren & Ronny at the lovely Briscoe Manor in Richmond, Texas!  Lauren and Ronny met in Germany where Lauren lived and worked as au pair for a couple of years after college.   It was so fun to watch a group of Texans and a group of Germans come together to celebrate this love!  Congratulations guys!  We hope you have as much fun in your marriage as you did at your wedding!

katherine & caleb

katherine & caleb are two of those people that you spend time with and you just think to yourself “these two are good for one another!”  you can just tell that they balance each other well.  for example, at their engagement shoot, katherine was very classy and proper as she usually is but when caleb decided that he wanted the last shot to be one of him jumping through the fountain at the botanical gardens, she just smiled and said, “whatever you want to do honey!”  i loved it!  katherine & caleb were married at second baptist church and then held their reception at the junior league.  from start to finish they and their families were pleasure to work with.  congratulations you two!

Angie & Zach

Another great couple!  Angie & Zach made the increasingly popular decision to see each other before the ceremony and we are HUGE fans of this decision!  Before you say no, let me tell you why.  The number one benefit is that it puts the bride at ease as soon as she sees the groom.  There is so much happening on your wedding day and it is all very exciting but it can get stressful and almost every bride gets those nerves working!  But when she sees that groom . . . oh it makes all the difference!  And then they get to spend that much more of the day together.  The second big benefit of course is being able to do all the photos before the ceremony.  More often than not, it is actually the groom that vetoes this idea but we always recommend that you take a few minutes to yourself and have the bride walk in and see the groom by herself so that you get that much anticipated experience (this also provides an opportunity to get any ugly cries out of the way if they’re going to happen!)  So that being said, it is completely up to you and we will go with whatever you decide!

Angie and Zach were married at Grace Presbyterian Church and had their reception at the Westlake Club.  A big congratulations to them!  We loved being your wedding photographers and hope that you have as much fun in your marriage as you had at your wedding!

Jessica & Josh’s Wedding

We few weeks ago we drove down to Beeville to shoot Jessica and Josh’s wedding photography.  We started mid-afternoon with Jessica’s bridal portrait photography at the beautiful  Beeville Art Museum in downtown Beeville before heading over to the church.  After the ceremony Jessica and Josh met everyone at the Beeville Country Club for their reception which was full of color and personality.  They even brought some delicious cupcakes down with them from Ooh La La Sweets in Katy!  (my favorite was chocolate cinnamon) Congrats Josh & Jess!  Thanks for letting us capture your big day!

i wanna grow old with you . . .

We loved being Angela & Kevin’s wedding photographers!  The wedding had so much personality and you could tell how much of themselves they poured into every little detail.  From the traditional Chinese tea ceremony to the reading of Adam Sandler’s “I Wanna Grow Old With You” during the wedding ceremony Angela & Kevin wanted this evening to reflect who they are and how much they love each other.  We started the day with group photos at Discovery Green and then took the trolley over to a new and very cool ceremony location called Patio on Mercer.  After the wedding we headed to the House of Blues for the reception which started with a Chinese Dragon and martial arts performance.  All in all, one of the coolest weddings we have ever photographed!

Ashley & James

Have you ever been around two people that are sickeningly in love?  I mean like unaware that other people are in the room, head over heals in love?  We shoot weddings almost every weekend but every once in a while we run across a couple like this and Ashley and James are one of them.  They are so cute to watch becasue they are so sweet to one another and so excited to be together!  Ashley and James were married at Christ Evangelical Presbyterian Church and had their reception at the Braeburn Country Club.  Congratulations guys!  Your love for one another is inspiring!
