Mike + Barbara – St Luke’s Methodist Church + Junior League Wedding – Houston Texas Photographer

Mike and Barbara had a beautiful wedding with a classic feel. Their ceremony was at Saint Luke’s Methodist, where Barbara’s cathedral length long veil drifted gorgeously behind her as she and her dad walked down the aisle. She also wore her mother’s wedding gown, altered slightly to fit today’s style. Her wedding party wore a modern silver slate a-line bridesmaid dresses with the men in classic tuxedos. The Junior League in Houston was elegantly decorated with tables of white flower arrangements and silver accent pieces. Monogramed chair covers adorned the table’s chairs and their monogram was also upon their wedding cake, napkins, matches and departing flowers paper cones. As a special treat the guest were served ice cream sandwiches in the evening!

Barbara + Peter – Ashton Gardens Wedding – Houston Wedding Photographer

Barbara and Peter were married in the beautiful chapel at Ashton Gardens. The architecture of the wooden beams is really an eye catcher, and the mass amounts of windows letting in all the light is really a photographer’s dream chapel. I love going back there to photograph every time. The couple’s sweet demeanor and friendship that they shared with their guests really was apparent during their wedding.  They used the fall tones for their wedding flowers and decor, and even on their departure guest threw autumn leaves.

Family, baby photography – Houston Texas Photographer

I was super busy over December with family photos, baby photos and even a maternity photo session. I love photographing families, even though I don’t advertise in that area. My family and newborn baby sessions usually grow from my wedding clients. Newlyweds soon become new parents too! I love meeting the new additions to my clients’ families! There’s something in the water in Houston, as I’ve had several past brides tell me they are expecting! I thought I’d share some of the highlights from the family holiday season!
