Maggie + Jonathan – Memorial Drive Presbyterian Church, Lakeside Country Club

admin — Wed, 18 Aug 2010 17:55:10 +0000

Maggie and Jonathan were wed at Memorial Drive Presbyterian Church on a summer evening. The sunflowers, by Plants N’ Petals, that were on the pews and alter added to the summer fun flair of the day. Maggie wore a gorgeous gown, Priscilla of Boston, with a unique waist bow and the dress had pockets hidden in the pleats. What girl doesn’t need pockets on her dress, I loved it. The reception, at Lakeside Country Club, was decorated with orange uplighting, by Texas Events, and more sunflowers, it was a very summery feel. The band rocked the reception and played all night. Maggie and Jonathan even had a private last dance, just them on the dance floor, as the guest had already gone outside for the departure. It was such a sweet moment to watch.

Brittany and Matt had a beautiful outdoor wedding under century old oak trees. The pops of summer colors of green and purple really added sparkle to the outdoor feel of the indoor reception. I really loved the purple bridesmaids dresses. Even though it was summer outside, everyone kept cool with a great breeze and paper hand fans. The guests really enjoyed themselves all night long. Brittany and Matt are my first client couple that both rein from my alma mater – Texas Tech. Go Tech!

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.
