Let me preface this blog post with a story; The story of how Jenna and Wyatt found us, Kelly and Chad.
Chad is horribly addicted to this website TexAgs.com (and I make fun of him all the time for it). He was doing his usual purusing when he went on one of the Texas boards and saw a posting where someone was wanting info on a “good wedding photographer in Houston.” So Chad piped up with, “A shameless plug for my wife.”
A week or so later, we get an email from Jenna saying that her fiance, Wyatt, with his TexAgs addiction, came across the thread, checked out our website (along with the many others on the thread) and loved our style.
So Jenna and I have conceded that TexAgs is perhaps not all bad.
Jenna loves the old, rustic locations, being a country girl and all, so we decided to start the night by going to nearby Old Town Spring.
This couple was so sweet, and so much in love, and we had such a great time with them that I didn’t want to stop shooting - even late into the night!
The Historic Muesche Brothers Restaurant provided a wonderful backdrop and some awesome props!
This couple is just too cute! And those heart chairs were perfect!
Gig’em Aggies!
Ring shot! It took us a pathetically long amount of time to figure out how their hands went together. It’s that whole spatial orientation issue.
My advice to any girl: find a guy that can make you laugh this hard and you’ll always be happy!
We walked over to these railroad tracks to shoot a little more. We thought it would be nice and isolated, but were we wrong! The side I really wanted (directly behind me with the setting sun) was taken up by another photographer doing a model shoot. On the other side of the tracks (literally) was a pretty noisy bar with a live band. They were hollering at us and some drunk lady even came sloshing through the mud to ask us what we were doing (and tell Jenna and Wyatt that they are so cute, which I have to agree with).
Then I saw a guy at the bar holding a beer in one hand and this wooden ukulele in the other. I walked over, asked him if I could borrow it, handed it to Wyatt and asked him to serenade his woman. He’s a natural.
After our own version of live music, they decided to do a little dancing to the band playing from the bar.
After the railroad tracks and turning down the invitation to party and drink with the bar-goers , we walked back into historic Old Town Spring and got a shot of them at this red school house since Jenna is a teacher.
Only in Texas do you shoot these kind of shots….
To round up the night, we drove up to The Woodlands and got some shots at the fabulous waterway.
Dancing in the moonlight…
I looooove evening skies!
Another ring shot. Ladies, you’ve gotta show off your gorgeous ring!
They were so sweet letting me drag them out so late, that we rounded up the night with a bit of silliness, and some cheesecake at the Cheesecake Factory. Yum!
