Shelly and Jett

I spent a gorgeous Sunday afternoon with a lovely couple Shelly and Jett. It was their engagement photo session. Days like this don't come around very often, well it did for us. I am so glad we rescheduled it from last two weeks, it was all worth it. We started in downtown Galveston on the Strand and went to the beach to finish it up. Can't wait to photograph the wedding in June. Enjoy.

Jessi and Spencer. Houston wedding photography

Since high school Spencer has always taken care of Jessi in such a tender and caring way that it was no surprise when—after many years into their relationship—he asked for her hand in marriage, first checking in with Jessi's father Steve over a bear. So it was fitting for the two of them to host nothing but a tender and caring wedding with no detail overlooked.

Hundreds in attendance, for their ceremony at The Christ Church Cathedral in downtown Houston, the oldest church in town, served as a gorgeous backdrop. I’m in, said Jessi, as the zipper of her dress reached the end of its run with the help of her sister and mom…I mean, I have no reason to be nervous because I know. I know there’s no one else but him. And with that, she and a group of girls crossed a busy Texas street from Magnolia hotel and onto the Christ Church Cathedral Jessi blossomed into a Mrs. and shall continue to love Spencer tenderly for as long as they both shall live. The reception was held at The Historic Magnolia Ballroom, flowers provided by Flora Bella and a gorgeous cake by More Than Cakes and indeed it was more than a cake.
Jessi and Spencer, I hope you had a wonderful time in Mexico on your honeymoon and I wish you the best as you carve your new lives together in Houston Texas. We enjoyed your wedding and spending the day with you both and we can’t wait to do it again! Much Love…

Leah and Cory. Galveston wedding photography

A fairytale wedding June 4 saw our couple, Cory and Leah, off in grand fashion. We were honored to be a part of this spectacular wedding with ceremony at Sacred Hart Church and the reception at one of our favorite hotel, The Hotel Galvez, in Galveston Texas.
The weather guys were wrong again with their weekend forecasts. It turned out to be a beautiful Friday, just a few clouds in the Sky and not a drop of rain, well for the most part  Leah and Cory met each other at high school, had a long distance relationship, collage, made it work and stayed together for many years. They were smoking hot in their wedding and reception at the Hotel Galvez, Galveston this past weekend.
