Today, Beth and Judd's beautiful wedding was featured on 7Centerpieces blog! We posted about Beth and Judd's wedding a couple months ago, you can view that post here. Hope y'all enjoy 7Centerpieces, it's a great new blog!
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 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!
Beginning in January, I stopped offering Kiss Albums. While Kiss Albums are beautiful albums, I was not happy with the limited options they had for my clients. I found the "simplicity" to be limited, especially in cover design. Therefore, I did some research, and discovered Albums Innova!
Albums Innova specializes in creating beautiful, handmade digital-style albums. These albums are less expensive than the Queensberry line of albums that I offer, and will showcase your wedding day photos beautifully! Located right here in Houston, TX, Albums Innova offers great “bank for your buck.” They offer high quality leather covers, with several cover options to choose from, and a quick turn around. You will not be disappointed by these gorgeous, custom albums!
Here are some shots of one of my studio sample albums.
Chris Bailey Photography no longer offers Kiss Wedding Albums, in its place Innova Albums may be custom ordered.
In addition to the Queensberry line of albums, I also offer Kiss Wedding Albums. Kiss is located here in the US, and offer high quality, hand crafted albums, with one thing in mind...SIMPLICITY! Their philosophy? Create gorgeous, simple albums, without all of the “gimmicks,” and let your beautiful wedding day photos shine! These beautiful, handmade albums are made with 100% full-grain, natural leathers, and are offered in magazine style (digital) pages only.
Pages are printed on Fuji Crystal Archical Paper, so your photos will pop from the pages, and will last a lifetime
These albums are made to lay flat when open, which is really nice and convenient when you are looking through your album.
Also, the pages are not cut down the middle at the spine, so we are able to take maximum advantage of the page space when designing the album. As you can see in the photo above, this is really nice when we have a photo that we'd like to print really large, across both pages!
The inside of both the front and back covers of all Kiss books do not have images (as seen above).
As with any albums that I offer, layouts are fully customizable. That means that we can create an album that is perfectly unique, and that compliments your wedding story and style.
Because Kiss is located here in the US, there is a faster turn-around for their albums. Once we have placed the order, they guarantee a 15-day turn around.
Kiss has recently added some new products to their line, including the "Little Kissers." These small, 4X4" leather albums are just miniature versions of their larger albums--same quality and style. These small albums can be nice to have for parents or family, or just as a little album to keep at home or at the office.
Also new to their line are "Soft Kisses." These less expensive, "soft" albums have pages that are thinner, and have linen covers instead of the leather. I haven't checked these guys out yet, but I plan to soon.
Kiss Albums are guaranteed for life, so if you have any problems, they will repair or replace the album at no cost. Their stated return rate reflects their high quality...less than .05%!
If you have any questions regarding Kiss Albums, please send me an email or give me a call, and I'd be happy to answer any questions. As always, seeing these albums in person is always best, as the computer won't do them complete justice.
