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.

Regina & Veynu's Christian Ceremony





These photos are from the third and last day of the celebration of Regina & Veynu. This day was in celebration of Regina's Christian religion. It is so beautiful when couples embrace each others religion with an open mind and an open heart. That is the only way a marriage/love can conquere all. It is truly beautiful! We had a blast on this day. The ceremony was held at Memorial Dr. Methodist Church and the reception was held at the Marriott Westchase Hotel. Again, they celebrated with 500 of their closest friends and family. Everyone danced into the wee hours of the night. What a party!!! I really enjoyed getting to know all the families and all of the friends. Everyone was so sweet! Regina and Veynu are an amazing couple and I wish you guys the very best of life.

Regina & Veynu's Hindu Ceremony





Regina & Veynu held their Hindu ceremony at Sri Meenaskshi Temple in Pearland, TX. I love shooting here! I forget I'm in Texas. I always feel like I'm far away in India when I step into this temple. They celebrated this day with 500 of their closest friends and family and their closest friends and family and their closest friends and family. LOL. Regina and Veynu told me it is customary to invite everyone you know and everyone they know. They sure know how to throw a party! I love it!

Regina & Veynu's Rehersal Dinner





I had so much fun shooting Regina & Veynu. First was Austin for their E-Session and now it is time for the pre-party celebration. We started their nuptial celebration at the home of Veynu's parents. They gathered together with their family and closest friends to celebrate. The party gathered in front of the house to watch as Regina & Veynu hopped into the back of their modern chariot (a BMW) to take them down the street to their party at clubhouse. Everyone followed along with them and cheered them on their way. It was quite the scene with the music blaring. All of their neighbors came out to see what was going on and stood at their doorstep and wished them well as they went by. R&V were lead by an amazing group of musicians, who were flown in from India just for their big day. How awesome is that! They had the most amazing Indian food I have ever had. Yum Yum!
