Megan and Aaron’s Wedding ~ II

Allen — Sun, 25 Sep 2011 07:04:47 +0000

As Megan walked toward Aaron, you could definitely see the sparkle in his eye

The outdoor area used for weddings at Agave Road is beautiful.

Yay!

Megan looked gorgeous dancing with the two men in her life.

Things quickly got a little more lively

Megan’s family comes from an Orthodox faith – it was so fun to see tradition embraced in their celebrations and dance.

Yay again! Time to go off to some far away locale for a bit of R&R

…but not before running back for one last hug from mom.

Ahhh… great day

Happy 4th of July!

Just a few of my favorite photos from our recent Americana Wedding session – working with a “crazy-talented team of La Belle Fleur Wedding Designs & Events, Artistic Confections, and Dressy Designs is a 4th of July themed wedding done so very, very right.”

4th of July Wedding in Style Me Pretty Texas

Beginning with a casual theme for a patriotic outdoor wedding, Stephanie put together a team of people to show what can be done with a limited time schedule – lots of hours squeezed into one week of preparation! If you’re looking to make your wedding just beautiful, check out Stephanie’s, Glenda’s, Dawneen’s, Erica’s and Classy Peacock’s work:

I’m happy to report that even though these are amazing-looking, Dawneen’s (with Artistic Confections) desserts tasted even better than they look!

Time for a patriotic backyard wedding!

From there we moved on to a gorgeous wedding reception setup on a pier overlooking their small lake

Yay! Below are a few more of my favorites, have fun and stay safe this 4th of July!

Stacey and Jeremy – Let it Rain!

Allen — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 06:11:53 +0000

You know, the day really did begin with beautiful weather, a little hot, but bearable. Upon arriving at the gorgeous outdoor setting for Stacey and Jeremy, there was no hint of the coming downpour. Skies were bright, birds were singing, last minute details were being put into place.

As the bridesmaids were getting ready we heard a report of “dark skies to the north of us, but they should blow over fast”.

First the skies darkened, then the winds came, then the rain. Winds of 60+MPH and sideways rain pummeled the setting.

So what’s a resourceful group of lovely bridesmaids to do in such circumstances?

The rain did blow over and we continued getting ready for the big event. Here Stacey’s mom helps with the millyun and one buttons going up her back. The maid of honor stands by ready to lend a hand if needed.

During all the hustle and bustle of last-second preparations, Stacey and Jeremy take a moment to read love letters sent to each other:

Then we begin, skies have cleared a bit and it looks like we’re in the clear.

Just look at the gaze these 2 lovebirds are giving each other!

Even more stolen glances:

… but then the wind picked back up, sprinkles began spattering and umbrellas began coming out:

Rain, sleet or snow, the important stuff still happened:

The rain did eventually clear, after the ceremony, after the formals (in the rain) with the bridal party, and the party was on! I’m posting one more here then a few below. Thank you Stacey and Jeremy, I enjoyed my times with you guys this year immensely

Stacey and Jeremy are Married!

Allen — Sun, 19 Jul 2009 07:12:07 +0000

I can’t say I’ve ever photographed a wedding in the rain before tonight, but neither torrential rain nor driving wind could keep Stacey and Jeremy from their appointed destiny this evening!

I just got in from one of the most fun and entertaining weddings I’ve ever had the pleasure of being a part of. If you remember Stacey and Jeremy’s engagement session, you remember a fun and funny couple up for anything and just having a blast doing it. With an over-capacity crowd on hand in their beautiful Nederland back yard, the skies darkened and dumped rain by the buckets right in the middle of their vows. Bridesmaids and groomsmen rushed umbrellas to their rescue and we continued on…. here’s a sneak peek, more to come later this week

Jeanne and David

Allen — Thu, 21 May 2009 06:49:07 +0000

Jeanne and David were married this past weekend at the historic Brown Center in Orange:

– while it was pouring to the right and left of us, the skies opened, the clouds parted, and sun shown down on a beautiful ceremony.

It was also a fun day in that I got to work with Angel Dauphine – thanks to her care the day was smooth and flawless.

Jeanne getting a little assistance with all the lacing in her beautiful wedding dress:

Shoes!

Meanwhile, Marius is doing yeoman’s work covering David and his groomsmen (cue music from “The Godfather”):

After all the getting ready was done, Jeanne prepares to walk down the aisle with her dad.

She paused right before reaching the actual aisle, took a deep breath,

… talking to my wife later, she said she knew exactly how Jeanne felt – all her life has been leading up to this point, lots of work going into the last few months, and here it is… Jeanne headed down the aisle, pausing once more to collect her flowers from the flower girls, and then finally reaching David:

Afterwards at the reception, food, cake, wine, beer, and fun flowed:

… and then it was off to the Greek Isles for a little R&R:

A few more wedding images below, the rest will be in their gallery tomorrow. Thank you Jeanne and David for the great time in getting to know you guys over the last few months, I wish you all the best, and as my uncle used to say: “may all your troubles be little ones”.

Jeanne and David – Sneak Peek

Allen — Sun, 17 May 2009 06:26:14 +0000

I just got in from a beautiful outdoor wedding at the Brown Center in Orange! We got some great images

Some may remember our engagement shoot with Jeanne and David in downtown Nederland and Port Neches Park a few months back, well, the big day finally arrived and it was more than worth the wait. It seemed like the sky was going to open up and pour a river of rain on us like it was doing all around, but the day actually turned out perfect.

More to come soon! Tomorrow I’ll post some images from her bridal session.

Tara and Daniel

Allen — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 15:05:33 +0000

This past weekend I was in Montgomery, Texas photographing a lovely outdoor wedding with the unique Monique Montoya. Tara and Daniel chose to tie the knot at the Walden Yacht Club on Lake Conroe – beautiful gazebo on the water’s edge followed by a gorgeous reception in the Commodore Dining Room.

Here Daniel gets a little assistance from his best man in getting his tie just right. I think Elvis would have approved

Afterwards, out by the water, they strike a mean pose:

Meanwhile, the ladies apply the finishing touches to a dazzling bride:

The wedding ceremony under the gazebo was beautiful:

Then it was time to party! This was a very fun group of friends and relatives to photograph, always willing to try something different and capture the beauty and fun of the day – look at the air Daniel got!:

Jamie and Tyson – Sneak Peek

Allen — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 01:12:50 +0000

I wanted to post a few images from this past weekend’s wedding with Jamie and Tyson. Held outdoors in Silsbee, Texas in front of their beautiful home, the ceremony was as fun and relaxed as the couple were.

Jamie’s getting her sparkle on while waiting for the ceremony to begin:

Here Chloe gets into the spirit:

Ty only has eyes, for Jamie:

All for now, more to come soon
