Christina + Travis :: Briscoe Manor Wedding Photographer

April 6, 2012 By 1 Comment

On a gorgeous March day at a very special venue, Christina and Travis were married! Briscoe Manor is a lovely private estate located located just outside the Houston hustle-and-bustle, in Katy. It’s a very special place to us because that’s where WE got married! When we first met Christina and Travis and heard about their wedding day plans, we were so so excited to get back to Briscoe and photograph there!A fun fact: The Briscoe Manor crew owns their own herd of Texas Longhorns. As you drive down the driveway to Briscoe, these majestic symbols of our proud state roam on both sides of the road.
One of our favorite things that we liked about Briscoe Manor when we chose to get married there was the fun grooms room. So often people focus on the bridal suite (which is important,too) but the grooms room should be fun too! The guys were having a blast hanging out before they had to walk down the aisle.Travis was all smiles for this big day!Christina and Travis chose to do a ‘first sight’ for their wedding day, meaning they saw one another before the wedding. We love this because it allows us to get sooo many great photos of them before the ceremony, and not be rushed for time to get to the reception! The first sight was their idea and we are so thankful they valued photography so much to plan their timeline around when they could get the most pictures! How excited does Travis look to see his bride?!Happy men!What a gorgeous and fun bridal party they had! Everyone had such a great sense of humor! They all spent all their time before the wedding cutting up and laughing.As the sun started to descend, the guests gathered outside at Balke’s Lakeside, Briscoe’s outdoor ceremony location. It was decorated beautifully for the event!While the guests gathered, there were some last minute preparations going on with the bridesmaids….….and some sentimental moments with the bride and her mother. Ah….. tear.“It’s time to go!”The sunset was perfectly timed for the ceremony!They had a great service, filled with laughs! Love their preacher’s face!
After the ceremony, the guests spent some time in the courtyard for cocktail hour and hand-passed appetizers.
During that time, it gave us even MORE opportunities for bride-and-groom photos as the sun went down!
This is the mother and father of the bride, giving a beautiful toast with pointers for a long and happy life together. It was such a touching moment!The father daughter dance was awesome! It started out just like any other father daughter dance… but then…These guys started to bust a move! :) And then the rest of the guests followed their lead and danced the night away, too!

Christina and Travis, you had such an awesome wedding! We’re so glad that you invited us to be there for your big day! You were a joy to work with throughout this process and we know you’ll have a long and happy life together!

April 5, 2012 By 1 Comment

Lacey and Edwin had a gorgeous springtime wedding at the beautiful Katy venue, Agave Road! This couple has exquisite taste and there was no detail that wasn’t a perfect fit for their day! Lacey has a fabulous eye and had sooo many to-die-for choices for their day. Starting with these fab shoes. Seriously? The white peacock feathers were a hit!Always fun to find a place for a ring shot at Agave Road! We might have ripped a little stem off of one of those pokey-end plants.Here it is – the beautiful Agave Road! Happy bride!Lacey was stunning! Her dress, hair, makeup, jewelry… the whole combo. She was truly a knockout that day!Love love love their flower choices! Now… for the bridal portraits!…And Edwin was a happy groom, too!
Lacey and Edwin were married right after sunset at Agave Road’s beautiful outdoor ceremony location. Every corner was decked out with beautiful floral elements, those super-fun peacock feathers, and, what else… candles. As the sun started to descend, the candles provided the perfect mood lighting.Right after the sun went down, Lacey and Edwin recited their vows, promising their lives to one another, with big smiles on their faces.Love this glamourous couple! Right after the ceremony we had some alone time with them, and they were so happy to be married! Reception time! I’m a sucker for a good toast, and Lacey and Edwin’s friends knocked it out of the park!Another wonderful cake creation. This cake was a show stopper! Love the peacock feather details, AND that fancy schmancy gold peacock on the bottom tier.Edwin’s face says… “Yep, she got me.”And then it was party time! The dance floor was open and the party was hoppin!This group knew how to bust a move on the dance floor!Lacey and Edwin also know how to cut a rug.Love… love… love these next two photos. Lacey and Edwin are such a tender couple.As the evening drew to a close, Lacey and Edwin’s friends and family lined up outside of Agave Road with streamers to wish them well as they embark on their journey as man and wife. So many well-wishers – this shows you how special this couple is to so many people.Their car awaited… they left in a magnificent Rolls Royce, headed to the airport and off to Seychelles for their honeymoon!

Lacey and Edwin, your day has came and gone, but we are so glad to have met you and photographed you during this exciting time! We know you will have a wonderful life together filled with so many exciting journeys! We wish you a long life of happiness and love!

Traci and Michael :: Houston Wedding Photographer

April 4, 2012 By 1 Comment

Traci and Michael are two cool cats who were married just a few weeks ago here in our town of Wharton. We have had such a blast spending time with Traci and Michael throughout their wedding planning. Of course we knew every detail would be perfect! Traci has impeccable personal style!There she is… Traci, you looked stunningly beautiful on your wedding day!And you were surrounded by people who made you laugh. What more could you want?The bridesmaids dresses were so cool! I loved their pockets! The girls also all got to wear their choice of coral shoes. Beautiful!Traci’s mom was a fabulous mother of the bride AND she was the coordinator/planner of the wedding. Amazing!Michael was a happy groom, as well!
And then the ceremony was upon us! And Michael was so proud of his beautiful bride! (Love Michael’s best man’s (and brother’s) proud face too!)Traci’s brother was at the end of the groomsman line, and he peeked his head out to see their father give her away. Love it!Then the same superstar brother performed a song, “Dancing Shoes” at the wedding. It was such a touching moment!Traci’s mom was loving the music too! How proud this family must be!
…and they are MARRIED!We got to catch a little sunset action before we took off to the reception!Traci and Michael (and us too, by the way) are both Aggies! That grooms cake was all Aggie, and delicious!
In Traci language, I must say, “Can we talk about how obsessed I am with this photo?” Cutie patooties!
During the father-daughter dance, they had a ‘party crasher’! Traci’s mom joined in on the fun, too! It was so cute!Not a dry eye in the house during the toasts.And then the party got started! They had the amazing Horizon band come and provide live entertainment, and this group knew how to party. Good live music + a naturally fun group of people = a good time had by all!
No Aggie wedding would be complete without a little sawing Varsity’s horns off. (Hey, we did it too at our wedding!)I love how as they were leaving Traci was waving to the crowd! Looking through the photos I felt like I was seeing the Queen of England!Traci and Michael – you guys rock! We loved your wedding! We can’t thank you enough for allowing us into your group for this amazing time in your lives. You have a super-fun group of friends, an amazingly supportive and close knit family, and clearly enough love to last you a lifetime. Best wishes, friends!

Taryn and John’s Wedding at Great Oaks Manor :: Houston Wedding Photographer

March 27, 2012 By 2 Comments

Taryn and John had such a fun wedding day! When we first met with them at the fabulous Richmond wedding venue, Great Oaks Manor, we just clicked. We stayed and visited long after our ‘meeting/consultation’ late, even though we all had early mornings the next day. Their engagement session sealed the deal – we knew we were meant to be friends with these two.

We arrived at the venue and were greeted with a picturesque day – perfect for an occasion as important as a marriage! Great Oaks Manor is a huge, grand ol’ Plantation house that seems to be right out of Gone With The Wind. Or something like that… Fiddle Dee Dee… Back to business.These stained glass windows made my heart skip a beat! As soon as I saw them the first time, I had this shot in my head and I was so excited that Taryn had one of these super-cool name hangers to hang her dress right there on the big day!Cufflinks with a story! Two towns that mean a great deal to the groom!This is Taryn. She’s the bride. She had a cool hairdo, a laid-back attitude, and a mom who adores her helping her tie her bow on her gorgeous dress. What more could a bride want on her big day?Favorite groom/groomsmen shot ever!Here’s John. He’s the groom. He looks quite dapper, doesn’t he?These shoes were show stoppers. And these flowers… the flowers… Christina Garza of Fresh Blooms of Houston outdid herself, once again.Taryn…. you are stunning. Gorgeous. Adorable. All those things and more. John must have knew this when he picked you. :) You is model.An outdoor ceremony at sunset… Swoon!Taryn’s mother Robin walked her down the aisle. After the wedding Robin told us of this poignant moment where Taryn looked over and noticed her mom tearing up. Robin said she’ll never forget the moment that followed after… Taryn squeezed her hand, turned and looked at her, and said,… “Mom, you better lock that sh*t up.” I think when Robin told me this, I might have spewed my drink. I love these people.I love love love (worthy of 3 ‘loves’) the way John is looking at his bride here, the first moments as he sees her on their wedding day.
Woohoo! They’re married!
Nice face, John! Wish I knew what you were thinking!What a fun wedding party! Seriously… every person is funny in this photo.Beautiful details at the reception. My favorite were the tall arrangements – with babys breath! Big statement pieces, unique, and unexpected. First dance.Another cool detail! This framed ‘art’ was made for the guests. An inkpad was provided where people could leave their mark on the tree for Taryn and John. The purple thumbprints are Taryn and John’s. Had to show this grooms cake. I know the Cougar fans loved it. Which by the way, 90% of the guests were… Houston Cougar fans.A serenade for the bride from the fraternity brothers.Speaking of brothers… John and his brother were the life of the party!And these people knew how to party! Towards the end of the night, those big arrangements I spoke of earlier doubled as a headdress for the bride. LOVE IT!A hug goodbye from Taryn’s mom… My favorite moment of the night, by far. All the guests were lined up, with their sparklers lit, waiting on the bride and groom to come running and make their grand exit. I was wondering where they were, so I went to find them. When I got to the big tent where the reception was, I found an empty tent, no guests, a slow song playing, and these two, dancing. I stayed as far back as I could and photographed this moment, that even as I’m writing about it, makes me tear up. This is the stuff romance is made of. This is why we are wedding photographers.

John and Taryn, we loved your fabulous wedding day, all of your fun friends, your families, and most of all, getting to be with you guys on this, the first day of your marriage. THANK YOU for inviting us in to your life and your love story!

Traci’s Bridals :: Houston Wedding Photographer

March 20, 2012 By 1 Comment

It was complete misery not being able to show off Traci and her stunning gown until after her wedding day! We totally have a love/hate relationship with bridal sessions. We LOVE to take them, but we HATE that we have to wait to show them!

Traci and her mom came out to our place on a lovely afternoon in November. The weather was beautiful and the evening ended with a lovely golden sunset. Here are a few of our favorites!

Traci & Michael :: The Silly Spot Photo Booth :: Houston Wedding Photographer

March 18, 2012 By 1 Comment

Last night, one of the highlights of Traci and Michael’s wedding, aside from celebrating their first day of marriage, was the Silly Spot photo booth! Cat and I split up during the dancing times of the evening, and while I was on the dance floor everyone was talking about the photo booth and saying “You have to go to the photo booth!” or “Come on, we are going back!” Each time the photo booth was open, there was a line of anxious guests wanting to get in on the fun. Some guests came back over 10 times!

Here are a few of our favorite images from the night!

Yes, even Cat and I got in on the action!

Taryn & John :: Sneak Peek :: Great Oaks Manor Wedding Photographer

March 4, 2012 By 3 Comments

Last night was one of the most fun weddings that we have experienced! Let me do a little explaining on that. WE (Cat and I) have fun at all of our weddings, but I guess I should have said that this was one of the most fun weddings for the guests! The dance floor was PACKED all night long, and the dancing was incredible! The dancers had moves that I didn’t even know existed. As soon as I get done with the post, I am going to practice my “stanky legg”

I truly believe that the celebrating was a total reflection of the love and excitement that everyone had for the couple! Taryn and John are great! There is no other way to put it. They are two genuine, sincere, and wonderful people. We are truly blessed that we were allowed to celebrate with them on such a important and special day in their lives.

Here are a few highlights from the evening! Be sure to watch the “I Get Knocked Down” video!

 



 

 

I think that the following photos and video can pretty much sum up the evening!

Amber & Anthony :: Agave Road Wedding Photographer

March 1, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Amber and Anthony were married on a beautiful, perfect, fabulous, sunshiney day that seemed to be made for two people to promise their lives to one another. We were so excited when Amber came strutting out to say hello to us when we first arrived. She was that unique kind of happy that we get to see when someone is about to marry the love of their life. We couldn’t help but comment on the perfect 60 degree, no wind, bright sunshine February day. Amber said she had been praying and praying for this weather and the big guy upstairs must have heard her prayers. Just look at how beautiful Agave Road looked when we first arrived!

Love, love, love the intensity of this makeup artist. Amber looked radiant all day, with a peaceful happiness shining from inside :)
So stunning in this beauty shot!These shoes were Amber’s……and this trio of fabulous black Christian Louboutin’s belonged to the other beautiful ladies in Amber’s family. Kudos to the one in the middle who chose comfort with that insole. :) She’s a woman after my own heart.


That’s Amber’s mom’s hands applauding. :)
Headed down the beautiful wooden staircase from the bridal suite at Agave Road.They were married in a private ceremony at a small church just a few minutes away from Agave Road. Love this quaint little chapel!Heeeeere’s Anthony looking quite dapper, reading a love letter from his bride. A marriage truly is the joining of two families, too. This is the mother of the groom and the mother of the bride, embracing as they walk in to watch their children say their vows.
Amber wasn’t the only one teared up at this moment. My own eyes were glistening a little too. Their ceremony was small and intimate, with family only. Luke and I felt so blessed to be here to witness this special, special event. First steps as Mr. & Mrs!Then we headed back to Agave Road for the reception and the big party to follow! Did we mention we love the ambiance and beautiful candle-lit exterior of Agave Road? The stars at night, are big and bright… deep in the heart of Texas! The stars were breathtaking!This cake tasted just as good as it looked!The dance floor was hopping thanks to the awesome DJ!Don’t they just look like movie stars here? Love it!

Congratulations Amber & Anthony, and thank you for allowing us to be there for your big day! We have enjoyed every minute of getting to know you two better. You had a gorgeous event from start to finish – every detail was perfect, and your love for one another was definitely *the* highlight of your wedding, just as it should be.  Best wishes for a long and happy life together!
