Belen's Bridal Portraits

in

Well, once again I have fallen behind on my blog posts...but that just means I'll have lots more to share over the next 3 or 4 weeks!

We had a fun and exciting June here at the studio, photographing several beautiful weddings.  I'll be posting my June brides portrait sessions here this week and next, and then will rewind all the way back to February with some work I did in New York.  Then we'll work our way back up to May, with lots of weddings and portrait sessions.  Stay tuned!

Here is a shoot I did for Belen's Bridal Portraits.  We photographed at the Houston Country Club, and had beautiful day.  Belen looked absolutely stunning!

 

Kate and J.J.'s Bayou Club Wedding

in ,

At the end of March I photographed a gorgeous wedding at the Bayou Club.  You might remember Kate and J.J. from their engagement shoot at Kate's family ranch, or from one of my more recent posts about the Bahamas!  I've had such a wonderful time getting to know them, and it has been a true honor to document this very special time in their lives.

We had perfect weather for their beautiful outdoor ceremony.  Kate and J.J. chose to marry under a large oak tree, and the reception was tented by SPF.  Kristin McShane with Keely Thone Events did an incredible job making sure everything went off without a hitch (as she and all of their team always do).  Events and Bloom's flowers and decor and Pro/Sound's lighting created the perfect atmosphere, while 31 Films was there to film the weekend.  Sauce brought the house down, with a special guest appearance by groom J.J. and his brother Greg.  The delicious cakes were created by the incredibly talented Susie's Cakes...can you believe that Yankee's Stadium??  Stationary and invitations were by Sicily Eason, and bridesmaid dresses were by Bella Bridesmaids.  Ceremony music was provided by Divisi Strings.

It was an unforgettable weekend to witness and capture.  I hope y'all will enjoy all of the photos below.  I've also included a little time lapse movie from their ceremony that I already posted a month or two ago...check it out if you haven't already.

Thank you, Kate and J.J.!

Beth and Judd's Wedding

Beth and Judd were married at St. Martin's Episcopal Church on January 22, 2011.  The ceremony was followed by a fun reception at the Rice Hotel in the Crystal Ballroom.  Thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of your beautiful day!

 


 

Frances' Baby Portrait Sessions

in ,

We did two portrait sessions last year of Frances, one shortly after she was born, and another several months after.  She was so much fun to photograph.  At the first session, she was a little bit restless, and did not want to go to sleep, but we were able to get some beautiful photos inside her nursery.  As soon as her dad came home, she lit up with excitement and smiles.

For our second shoot, we went outside to the backyard and took photos on one of Frances' mom's favorite quilts.  Frances was full of smiles, and crawled around with such curiosity.

Here are some of my favorites from the shoot.  At the end I've posted photos from her nursery...I loved the hot air balloon carousel hanging above Frances' crib...so cool.
