    Hermann Park Engagement Photos – Lauren and Chris

    Recently I met Lauren and Chris at Hermann Park in Houston for their engagement session for their upcoming wedding – the wind was blowing in from the North something fierce! We had the best time despite that – the sun was out, and Lauren and Chris were ready to play 🙂 We began by Rice University and the fountains, strolled over to the Museum of Fine Art, then down to Hermann Park – gorgeous light and they were especially comfortable once we met our banjo-playing pan handler 🙂 A quick stroll over to a little more comfy spot 🙂 Beautiful day! Wedding photos soon! 🙂

    FUMC Beaumont Wedding ~ Valerie and Nathan

    Valerie and Nathan were married recently in a gorgeous ceremony and reception at First United Methodist Church Beaumont and the Julie Rogers Theater! Getting the required mani-pedi at a local nail salon began our day – swarms of staff buffed and shined until it was time to head to the church 🙂 Valerie and Nathan take a few moments before the whirlwind begins – this hand-holding around the door gave them peace and still allowed them to not see each other prior to the ceremony 🙂 Yay! 🙂 We’re on to Julie Rogers Theater, where Stephanie from La Belle Fleur has the upstairs and downstairs looking amazing! Valerie begins the…

    Beaumont Bridal ~ Jacqueline

    Jacqueline has gotten married recently, so now it’s time to whip out some of my favorites from her bridal portraits session. We started the day with something subdued. We were trying to locate her inner diva! And indeed we found it. As we started to feel the groove. Her inner Sassyness started to show too! Yup, Sassy with a capital S and exclamation point. Midway through the session she brought along her dog, Annie. I loved how Annie was so into the whole bridal session. She gamely posed with Jacqueline without any reservations. As we were about to move on, as if on cue, she started playing with Jacqueline. That…

    Beaumont Bridal ~ Stella

    Stella was married recently, so I get to post a few of my favorite bridal portraits from in and around Beaumont. 🙂 Although living and working in the medical field in Baltimore, Stella grew up in Beaumont and her family still lives and plays in the local community. We began the day with photos next to her childhood home, the Mildred Building at Calder and 11th: Before moving on to some of our other ornate locations around the city 🙂 For someone who works with a stethoscope around her neck all day, she could have a career in modeling too – she makes me look good 🙂 The last few…

    Add equal parts love, family, ink, the outdoors and the mad greasers car club and what do you get? One beautiful fun wedding! We began the day bright and early in the fields of Southeast Texas, right outside Winnie. Rachel and her family were in high DYI gear – the people and things that made Rachel and Chunk’s relationship unique were all over the place 🙂 Lots of beautiful fall color in the flowers, place settings and pergola – with the finishing touches being applied to their outdoor wedding, Rachel (with adoring parents looking on) and her bridesmaids begin their prep: Yes! Almost there! 🙂 Meanwhile, what’s a groom to…

    Beaumont Weddings: Stephanie and Ryan

    Stephanie and Ryan were married recently in a gorgeous ceremony at Praise Christian Center and wedding reception at the Beaumont Country Club! We began the day bright and early at OnStage Hair Salon where the blushing bride and her besties were given the usual princess treatment 🙂 I *love* the light there 🙂 Afterwards, we made our way over to the church to finish getting ready and meet her love: Marissa Sellers of Glass Slipper Events, did her always outstanding work, and really had the church (and the Beaumont Country Club to follow) looking perfect with beautiful flowing drapery and sparkly light: Meanwhile, Marius was with the guys, who always…
