Elisha’s Bridals at The Magnolia Hotel in Houston

Wednesday, December 2, 2009

When talking to Elisha about her bridal portraits she told us that what she really wanted was to find a grand staircase in Houston to do some classic bridal photos on. With her wedding reception being at The Courtyard on St James we went on the hunt for a location that could provide the staircase. We ended up finding the Magnolia Hotel in downtown Houston and they allowed us to do some photos in their lobby and on their staircase. We have seen the Magnolia Hotel before but have not had the chance to do any events there so we were really excited about the shoot.  For those of you that haven’t been to the Magnolia, it is a really edgy, super cool looking, old hotel in Houston.  We did some traditional photos in the hotel and then kicked it up a notch with some really edgy shots of Elisha.  After finishing up in the hotel, Elisha  wanted to do some shots outdoors so we headed out to find parking around the Theater District in Houston. Something was going on downtown and the area was packed. We gave up and decided to head over to Rice University and spent a few minutes getting some really nice shots there.  After it was all finished we ended up with some really edgy photos and some classic bridal shots that Elisha and her Mom loved.

One of our favorites at the Magnolia.

Genifer’s Trash the Dress in Galveston

Thursday, November 12, 2009

When we met with Genifer and Andy to start planning their wedding, the first thing Genifer told us was that “traditional” bridal portraits were not her style. She wanted to do a “Trash the Dress” session at Galveston after the wedding. Genifer is full of personalty,spunk and true beauty so we  knew from the start that she was PERFECT for a trash the dress shoot.  We were stoked about this shoot from the moment they were married, and starting planning the date then. We started in an alley on the Strand in Galveston and ended on the beach. We had many onlookers and they were amazed at someone actually taking photos like this in their wedding dress. This shoot was SO much fun and Genifer being the trooper she is made this a great shoot. As you can see from the photos, Genifer is beautiful and had a ROCKIN personality! Genifer, we LOVED working with you and Andy for ya’lls engagements photos, wedding day and your  trash the dress session.  Thanks for allowing us to be along for the great ride!  You two are a PERFECT couple and we love you both! Keep Smilin:-)

Happy Veterans Day!

Wednesday, November 11, 2009

We would like to take a moment to acknowledge a special day in our country, Veterans Day! As we try to keep all of our fans and friends up to date with our lives and work through this blog, we feel we need to take a moment to acknowledge the men and women that have selflessly served our country.  Becca & I have a bunch of of family and friends that are either Veterans in the military or currently active in the military and we appreciate their service.  Recently, we attended the military funeral of one of my uncles at Ft Sam in San Antonio. This was not the first time I have attended a military burial, but it was the first time I had been to a Military Cemetery and it was an awesome sight. Seeing all of the markers lined up for as far as you can see was a very moving experience. It definitely helps you understand the number of people who have given their lives for our country. We are thankful for all of  the Veterans who gave their time and their lives to ensure we have the freedoms and security that alot of us take for granted in this country. It is an honor for us to be able to acknowledge the sacrifice that our military personnel gave and are currently giving for us.

I would like to mention a local resource for our veterans which is the Lone Star Veterans Association. We heard about this group on the radio and thought it would be good to give them a plug here. They are an association that is not only for veterans of the old wars but they readily accept the Vets from our more recent conflicts. They are working to assist Vets as they transition from active duty back to civilian life.

Since this is primarily a photo blog we would like  to add a couple of shots from a several of our Military Grooms.  Becca and I thank all of you for your service.

Dana and Will’s Wedding

Sunday, November 8, 2009

We first met Dana and her Mom at an open house for Cindy’s Palace and were VERY excited when she called and wanted us to be apart of her and Will’s special day. They were married at the First Baptist Church of Rosenberg. This is a beautiful church with the most magnificent stained glass. After the wedding, Dana and Will were so gracious to make time for us to capture some memorable photos of the two of them after the wedding. The reception was also held at Cindy’s Palace in Rosenberg.   We are always excited to go back to Cindy’s Palace because they do an excellent job in making sure every wedding is filled with loads of fun!!  We always look forward to having a glass, OK……..or many glasses of Cindy’s Palace iced tea….it ROCKS!!!  We would like to shout out to Nancy at Cindy’s Palace for always making sure everything runs smoothly. Dana and Will were so much fun to work with! We wish you two a lifetime of love, happiness and contentment.  May God continue to bless you always. Keep Smilin:-)

Elisha & Chris, what a trooper!

Friday, November 6, 2009

Elisha and Chris had a really tight schedule due to living in Austin and both of them working in positions that limited the days we could schedule their shoot. Basically they only had one shot at getting to Houston and getting their engagement session photographed in time to have prints for the wedding. No one expected Chris to come down with a stomach virus the day before and he was really wiped out on the day of the shoot.  He was a real trooper and pushed through the session so he would not let Elisha down.  Adding to the day, Chris’s groomsmen essentially told him that an e-session was the equivalent of getting your wisdom teeth pulled without anesthetic while under a Chinese water torture. Crazy guys! Elisha was so sweet and caring to Chris throughout the shoot and together they both made the session a real pleasure. After it was all over, we asked Chris if it was as bad as his friends told him and he told us it wasn’t bad at all and he had a lot of fun in spite of feeling so poorly.  Here are few shots from their fun session!:-)

Bridals with Katie W.

Wednesday, November 4, 2009

After photographing Katie’s E-session 6 months ago, we were stoked to finally get her back in front of the camera for her bridal portraits. Katie is a natural in front of the camera and super easy to work with. Katie could SO get paid big bucks to model, she is that gorgeous! Katie was up for anything including climbing on top of a bar, laying on tile floors and any other crazy idea we came up with. From stately and formal to fun and sassy, Katie was willing to be our model for the day.

She wanted to do her bridals at Safari Texas Ballroom, which is where her reception was being held. The venue is huge and has alot of different areas that allow us to get a bunch of different looks. The first photo is one of our favs from the session.

Destination Wedding in Destin, Florida

Saturday, October 3, 2009

We had the honor of spending an entire week before the wedding in Florida on the beach with the families of Erin and Ian. As stated in Erin’s bridal post, Jo, Erin’s Mom, is Becca’s best friend and this was extra special for us, and we had a wonderful time hanging with friends on the beautiful beach in Fort Walton Beach, Florida.


The day of the wedding, Erin and her bridal party went to Bella’s Salon for hair and make up. This was a great salon, and they catered to every need of the girls. Erin and Ian were married on the Solaris, which is a yacht which sails out of Destin, Florida. This was the most AMAZING setting for a wedding!! The wedding took place on the top deck, which gave us the most magnificent sunset we have ever seen. After the wedding, everyone moved inside for a seated dinner. There are no words to describe how wonderful the food was…..YUMMY!! The staff aboard the Solaris were amazing and so helpful.  Music was provided by a  live band and kept the party hopping. Gulf Coast Bride Magazine featured this wedding in their magazine, and we will blog all about this at a later date.  Erin and Ian are very special to us, and we wish them a lifetime of happiness! Thank you for allowing us to share this special time with you and your families. We love you!!

James and Kari’s Wedding at the Chapel in the Woods

Monday, September 21, 2009

The first words that came out of our mouth when we saw the Chapel In the Woods was, WOW!!  This is a chapel in The Woodlands, Texas and was the most spectacular church and we couldn’t wait to get started. Kari was the calmest bride we had seen in a long time, and so sweet and BEAUTIFUL!! James and his crew were loads of fun and kept us laughing the entire time. Kari and James are the perfect couple and the love they share is so transparent. After the wedding we headed to several locations on the grounds of the church for group shots, and this wedding party was up for anything, including climbing on rocks and jumping off. The reception was held at Augusta Pines Golf Club, and was the perfect setting for dinner and dancing.  We are honored that Kari and James chose us to be part of their special day and wish them a lifetime of love, happiness and joy for many years to come. May God bless you always!

Rainy Day at Vargo’s

Tuesday, August 25, 2009

We had some bad luck when we were planning to photograph a beautiful outdoor wedding at Vargo’s when the rains came and forced Rena & Mike to move their wedding indoors.  The grounds were in perfect condition and the flowers were as pretty as we have seen there. At least they have large picture windows giving us a nice backdrop.  Rena and Mike started their day at the Hilton Westchase. They remained calm and collected and never let the weather dampen their spirits. Becca & I want to say thanks for allowing us to be with you on your wedding day.

Close to Our Hearts

Saturday, August 8, 2009

Erin is the daughter of my best friend, Jo, and I has watched Erin grow into the gorgeous woman that she has. We did Erin’s bridal pictures at Mercer Arboretum in Houston, Texas.  I will be honest, when I first saw how incredible gorgeous Erin was, I was thinking, “How am I EVER going to get through this session without crying?”   I made it, and that was a miracle! Erin has that fun spirited, loving personality that defiantly shows and makes our job SO much fun! We had a BLAST!!! Jo, her Mom, came with us and we even managed to get her is a few shots that she was not aware of….sorry buddy…….I HAVE to show everyone what a trooper you were:-)We are a little behind posting these, so in a few days we  will be posting  photos from Erin and Ian’s AMAZING destination  wedding in Destin, Florida aboard the Solaris with SunQuest Cruises.

Recent Albums We Have Created

Wednesday, August 5, 2009

Here are a few pictures of some albums that we have created. These are photos of albums that were created for clients who now have this to remember their special day by.  Hope you enjoy looking at them, as much as we did designing them. If you would like to view some of the album designs, visit our website. All albums are leather with 48 leather choices, 5 accent leathers and multitudes of combinations.  We wish they had albums like this 27 years ago when we got married. Perhaps ours would not be all tattered from being looked at and moved so much.

Crush For Fun!! A little fun at a local winery.

Thursday, July 16, 2009

It has been a crazy summer! Between the business and adding the planning for our oldest daughters wedding on August 1  has left us running behind on getting photos ready to post here.  Sorry everyone! Hopefully we will free up some in a day or 2 to get some pics ready. We will let you know as soon as we get things rolling. Until then, we just got a message from some friends of ours in Brenham and they have an annual event that we thought was worth mentioning here. They are Bob and Jeanne at the Pleasant Hill Winery and they have their annual Crush For Fun grape stomp coming up the next few weeks. We have been to the winery and toured and tasted their wines and we love the Port wine they produce. VERY TASTY. Bec & I  havent had the time to get up to the Crush for Fun yet but hopefully we can make it up this year. It just looks like a fun way to spend a day in the country and you get to make your own t-shirt with your foot prints from the wine. If you get a chance to make it up there give a shout out to Bob and Jeanne, the owners of the winery and maybe we will see ya there. To get more information check out their website at Pleasant Hill Winery.

Keep Smilin and Have fun!

Smoking Hot Engagement Session

Wednesday, June 24, 2009

We had the honor of shooting Sheryl and Kevin’s engagement photos. They arrived in a 57 Chevy that was totally restored. WOW…is all we could say when they pulled up. We were in photographer’s heaven… adorable couple and one fine ride! We knew with the couple we had, and that beauty of a car, we would have some amazing photos. We started the shoot with the car of course, then off to downtown Katy for some fun on the caboose and two other cool locations. We ended the evening at Firethorn for some AMAZING sunset photos. Sheryl and Kevin were phenomenal in front of the camera, and their love for each other is electrifying. Kevin is off serving our country and we wish him a safe return home. Thanks Sheryl and Kevin for a WONDERFUL day and for allowing us to be a part of it!
