Summer and Bob E-Session

I was so happy when Summer called me and told me that she was getting married and she wanted me to be her photographer. We have worked with each other in the past and have remained friends. When I met with her and her fiance Bob, I asked them about the proposal. Well, it was suppose to happen in Napa but didn't because of family obligations it ended up happening at La Carafe on of the oldest bars in downtown Houston. I was excited to go back to their spot and create some photos that would capture the romance they share with one another.

Alicia's Bridals

On the day of Alicia's Bridal Session, mother nature was not exactly on our side to do any photos outside. So, we did her photos here in the studio. Her dress had a long train and so it worked so beautifully draped along the spiraling staircase. Alicia is a runner and wanted to do a pic like a run-away bride, but she promised me she would not be running on the wedding day.

The Lot on Washington

I decided to help my boyfriend out with marketing his new bar The Lot on Washington. Football season is now here and he just installed a huge screen tv for the outside patio. It is really awesome. Its about 10ftx14ft. and it is super clear. So, I thought what a better way to get the guys attention to let them know The Lot is the place to be to watch your favorite teams is by taking some great photos of the hot bartenders that work there at The Lot. The girls loved the idea and this is what we got! Come check out the bar at 4214 Washington and look for the Big Red Sunshine in the sky. You will also find some of my travel photography illuminating the walls.

Nidhu & Oneil One Year Anniversary

A mutal friend of ours introduced us to one another. Nidhu and Oneil had already been married for one year. Their parents arranged for them to marry in India. Since most of their friends and family here were unable to make it to the wedding they decided to have a big one year anniversary party at The Parador. They are meant for one another. They are so sweet to each other and they look like they belong together. They had a colorful and festive party with lots of dancing. The party lasted all night I heard. They took the after party to Reign Lounge and danced the night away.

Suhair & Karim Bridal Session

I always hate to hear when brides walk away from their wedding day not happy about their photos. It's really the only thing you have to look at to remember your big day. I know how important my job is and I do everything I can to make all my brides happy. Suhair was not happy with her photos that another photographer had taken and she had seen my photos and cards at Maison de Mode. She wanted photos that she was proud to hang on her walls and show off to her friends and family.

So, she called me and we made a date to take some photos. We decided to start with some studio shots first just because of the heat outside. I didn't want her to melt to much. It was fun to be able to take some with her hubby too. We set out to one of my fav spots for bridals and because she was already married, we decided it would be fun to jump into the water and just play. She loved the last photo. Sometimes really great things come out of something gone wrong. I'm glad I was able to give them the photos they always wanted and will always cherish!

Suhair & Karim E-Session

Suhair & Karim were already married when I met them. They contacted me after they saw my work hanging in Karim's cousins bridal salon Maison de Mode in the Village. They loved what they saw and were so unhappy with the photos from their big day. They decided they wanted to do it all over again and re-shoot their bridal and engagement photos. I was thrilled to do it! They are such a good looking couple with great style, which always makes it easy.

Yohko & Daniel Wedding

Yohko and Daniel are one of the sweetest couples I have ever met. They are so gentle with one another and we're a delight to work with. I was really happy with all the photos I got from their wedding and engagement session. It doesn't hurt when you get to photograph to very photogentic people.

They had the best get away I have ever seen. It was a surprise to me, but when they exited the church Daniel had borrowed one of his friends Vintage Mini Cooper to use. The car is bright orange which help with the whole comic factor that was about to unravel. First of all, it took them some time to be able to get Yohko and her dress to fit in the car. Everyone was crying laughing, including me. Well, this is were it got really funny. We figure out that Daniel doesn't really know how to drive the car. He told me later that he only took a couple of lessons. He was trying his hardest to get the car to start and to be able to drive off. After a few tries and help from the bridesmaids pushing from behind, they were off like they were in a race. Luckily, I was able to move out of the way in time. It was a little scary watching them take the curves out of the church. Luckily, their adventure quickly came to an end and they switched cars on the other side of the church Memorial Drive Presbyterian . That set the tone for the rest of the day and it was fun, fun, fun after that at Maggiano's.

Natasha & CJ Wedding

Natasha and CJ held a small but intimate wedding at one of my favorite places Brenner's on the Bayou. It was the perfect spot for a Saturday late afternoon wedding. Everyone enjoyed amazing food and fabulous wine. I love this last photo. We had a lot of fun making it. Natasha had seen a photo like this and asked me if I could do it. I of course said "Yes". I love when brides have ideas for photos and then I get to re-create the image for them or we just get to play with the idea and create something new. Her family and friends that helped create this photo had a lot of fun thinking of new words to make. Natasha and CJ got a little extra surprise when they saw the proofs.

Lori & Marteen Formals

Since the rain didn't allow us to do the formals before their big day started, we decided to meet another sunny day at the Japanese Garden in Hermann Park. I brought along my Chinese parrisol for a prop. Lori looked so beautiful with it. I was able to get some really beautiful images of them. Im so glad we were able to take these photos and so were they.

Lori & Marteen Wedding

Lori & Marteen are such a neat couple. They celebrated their wedding at La Colombe D'or with their closest friends and family. I really enjoyed getting to know them. They love good food, fine wines and love to travel....my kinda people. They are avid sailors and have traveled the world on some incredible boats. These two will be living the sweet life for many years to come.
