Jeanette and Aaron’s Engagement Session – Hermann Park – Houston, Texas

Jeanette and Aaron are flying down to have their destination wedding ceremony in Houston this weekend, so its time I feature them on the blog!

When they say that love knows no bounds, this fabulous couple lives it! After dating for a while, Jeanette followed Aaron up to Ohio because these two lovebirds are inseparable! Now who’s idea was it to fly down to Houston and have a wedding in August?  ;)   (Just kidding, guys!)

Thank you Jeanette and Aaron! I’m looking forward to your wedding this weekend!

Chelsea and Jason’s Wedding – Vargos – Houston, TX

Chelsea and Jason are quite an adorable couple! They met over two years ago at a tent at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo Cook-Off. Immediately hitting it off, these two are now wed!

They had a fabulous wedding at Vargo’s Restaurant, and below are some of my favorites of their wedding!

Vargo’s did an awesome job of decorating for their stellar wedding!

Michelle and Stan’s Engagement Session – The Woodlands, Texas

Today, I am a woman of few words. While trying to get caught up with editing my eight weddings in eight weeks (plus some engagement, family, and boudoir sessions thrown in there), I’ve been neglecting my blog.  So while I’d like to tell you how totally awesome Michelle and Stan are (like how she sends me the cutest little thank you notes for no reason at all – and I need to learn from her), I’d like even more to share their engagement photos with you! So without further ado…

Michelle and Stan are a super cute couple who are so much in love!  They were brave and willing to try anything!

Michelle and Stan met in a super-cool way… At ballroom dance classes!  Of course, they had to show off some of their moves!

We asked two poor security guards to hold up a towel to block the sun for this next one.  Engaged couples always have it easy getting help from strangers.  ;)

Out of Office – destination wedding in Oklahoma!

I’m typing my first blog post while heading down the road (don’t worry, I’m not driving – and I *love* modern technology) on our way to a winery in Chandler, Oklahoma.
I’ll try to respond to emails and phone calls as I get reception, internet access, and availibility, but I’ll be back to normal life on Monday.
Meanwhile, I’ll attach some iPhone photos of my trip!

Rebekah and Ryan’s Wedding (Part 2) – The Houstonian – Houston, TX

Yesterday, I posted photos from the first half of Rebekah and Ryan’s wedding at Second Baptist Church in Houston.  Everything was gorgeous, beautiful, and seamless.  When we arrived at their reception at The Houstonian, a transformer had blown so the elevators were out of operation, the A/C was barely working, and only a few lights were operating on backup generator power.  But these two didn’t let that phase them.  After they were able to get grandparents and those that required the elevator upstairs, they boogied in spite of the heat while the folks at the Houstonian worked dilligently to get everything restored.

Rebekah and Ryan’s reception kicked off with their heartfelt first dance.

Showing off the rock…

Rebekah and Ryan’s Wedding (Part 1) – Second Baptist Church – Houston, TX

A beautiful Saturday afternoon in April, Rebekah and Ryan were married at Second Baptist Church.  The always brilliant Christine Tremoulet joined me at their wedding, so there are so many photos that I love that I had to split it into two blog posts!  Here’s the their getting ready and ceremony photos with a dash of fun formals:

Lindsey and Nic’s Engagement Session – Bouroughs Park

Lindsey and Nic are such a cute couple!  They were wed in a destination wedding ceremony in Mexico, but I had the opportunity to take their engagement photographs at Burroughs Park in Tomball, Texas.

They knew each other in high school, but it wasn’t until after Nic served our country in the Marines and attended Texas A&M that they met again, fell in love, and the rest is history.  ;)
