“To be married to a man who makes you laugh every day, ah, now that’s a real treat.” ~ Joanne Woodward

Taryn and John, this quote makes us think of you! You guys have such a great relationship, you are truly a joy to be around! The whole way home from your engagement session, Luke and I couldn’t stop visiting about how much we loved photographing you two. When I see the picture above, I think to myself, “Wow. You could NOT pose that moment.” It just happened, because you guys are so much in love, so comfortable with each other, and clearly have a very genuine connection. That’s what we LOVE to photograph!We met up with Taryn and John on a breezy afternoon in downtown Houston. John is a hotelier at one of the famous downtown hotels, the Hilton Americas, and we spent all afternoon walking around the places nearby his job. We started at Discovery Green and ended up at a great little hole-in-the-wall restaurant just a few blocks away from the hustle and bustle. What a treat!Love the way Taryn is looking at John here. So much love!I love this paparazzi style moment through the bushes. While Luke was taking their picture straight on, I snuck off with my long lens and snagged these. They make me smile.
Yes… it looks like they are in the middle of a field. No, they are not. Literally in the middle of the city. Oh, and Taryn… stop it. You are gorgeous!Taryn and John were up for ANYTHING we threw at them. We loved this colorful wall but didn’t want to just stand in front of it. They let us go crazy with our creativity and catch these cool motion-blur shots!It was a cloudy day, but as the sun started to set we headed up to the rooftop to get some pictures of the happy soon-to-be-married duo with the city skyline behind them. Something fun!We couldn’t resist the huge Christmas tree! Christmas Card for 2012… hint hint…

Taryn and John… THANK YOU for letting us tag along with you for a day in the life of your love story! We had so much fun and shared so many laughs, we’re sure to remember your photo shoot for some time to come! We can’t wait to see you guys again, and we can’t wait for your big shindig!
