Nederland Weddings | Amy and Sam
Another beautiful day for a wedding! 🙂 Amy and Sam were married recently at St. Charles in Nederland and after their beautiful ceremony the fine folks at The Elegante made sure the reception went smoothly. Seconded by the always great Marius, the whole day was a lot of fun – here are a few of my favorites 🙂 The day began early at the Beau Cheveux Salon in Nederland – when we finished I believe a mushroom cloud of hairspray rose over Mid-County: 🙂 Meanwhile the Grand Ballroom at the Elegante is just about ready: and a few cake table details: Sam proposed at Disney World and before they left…

Beaumont Weddings | Krystal and Ross ~ Part Deux
And we’re back! 🙂 We last left our two lovebirds as they were on their way to meeting the one they’ve waited for all their lives – this “first glimpse” was truly magical, watch how the tension builds: … and dissipates 🙂 I was there and I still love to watch the slideshow – it starts slowly and builds speed as she moves across the floor until Krystal is in Ross’s arms, then it slows down again – a kiss, a hug, they step back to admire each other, then more embracing. Ah… this is how wedding days should be. Experienced. We as a culture race from beginning to end,…

Beaumont Weddings | Krystal and Ross – Part Un
Earlier in April I had the privilege of photographing Krystal and Ross’ wedding day – everything about the day, from the weather to the reception details to the events leading up to the ceremony were perfect. 🙂 Here is their story: The day began with getting ready in the bridal suites of the MCM Elegante` here in Beaumont: Krystal’s ring and pearls lay waiting their duties, I love pearls 🙂 We begin the official ‘getting ready’ with Krystal in the salon chair, having her curls and flower coifed together: Shoes! Red shoes! 🙂 Grace Mathis in the house! Grace is one of the best in the business – the results…

50!
No, I’m not referring to some obscure line in an Anniston/Stiller movie – this past week my parents celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary! 🙂 Held in the Fountainview room of the MCM Elegante’ hotel, it was standing-room only for friends and family of the groom and his bride. Note: If you are viewing this on our Facebook page, the images are much nicer on the actual blog post. They look so young still, they were obviously married as small children: Mom, dad and I went to hotel the night before for a few portraits: Little did mom know, dad had a reason for doing so, as he shaved his beard…

Jena and Brandan’s Wedding Day
Jena and Brandan were back down from Boston for a beautiful wedding shared with local friends and family a couple weeks ago. Set in the Wesley UMC and the MCM Elegante Fountainview Room, lots of fun was had by everyone! 😀 We began the day early with Jena and her girls at Onstage Hair Salon in Beaumont – wahoo! Lots of great natural window light for pretty pictures 🙂 Yes, she is living in Boston now, but that’s some big Texas hair if I’ve ever seen it! 🙂 A few more of the pretty bridesmaids and mothers of the bride and groom: Hair and makeup done, we move on to…
