Rachel and Cody are Getting Married!
Rachel and Cody will be tying the knot this coming summer and today I get to share a few of my favorite images from their recent engagement session! 🙂 If you’ve been reading these pages for a while, you know how much I prefer to photograph couples in their own environment, places that mean something to them as a couple. Getting in line with the hundred other couples in front of the waterfall at the local park just isn’t me – these mean *so* much more when we can take a part of their lives together and entwine them into their photos. So you know I was happy to hear…

Nederland Engagements | Lindsey and Trent
Lindsey and Trent are getting married! 🙂 And so we kick off our time with BellaFotografica’s wedding couples from 2011 – yes, we’re in the middle of wedding season for 2010 still but most couples book us a year or more in advance and we’re always itching to get started 🙂 We began this hot and windy afternoon on Boston Avenue in Nederland – both Trent and Lindsey are from this great town and we felt it important to get some photos in and around their heritage: Handsome couple! 🙂 Lindsey is a nursing major at Lamar Port Arthur and Trent is a business major at Lamar Beaumont (careers close…

Nederland Engagements | Celina and Matt
Whenever I meet with a couple for a wedding consultation, one of my main goals is to get to know them – find out how they met, how he (or she 😉 ) proposed, things like that. As we move into discussing planning their engagement sessions I stress how important it is to use locations that mean something to them as a couple, like where they met, where they went on their first date, where they like to hang out. Ten or thirty years from now they can point to the photos in their engagement album (you do plan to get an engagement album, don’t you? ) and say “that’s…

Ashley and AJ’s Photo Guestbook
Hurray! Ashley and AJ’s beautiful wedding was this past weekend so I can now finally show their wedding ceremony signature guestbook. 🙂 At 8.5″x11″ (opening to 22″) with a nice photo canvas cover and their images on art paper, it was the perfect way to show off their engagement photos and have a personalized custom guestbook for well-wishes. “Lucky” by Colbie Caillat Displayed in the foyer area leading into the Grand Ballroom at the Elegante, it was filled with signatures from loved ones by the end of the evening. Ashley opted for lines for signatures, others choose blank spaces, either works well for these and with care will last you…

Ashley and AJ are Getting Married
Just got back in from photographing Ashley and AJ’s engagement portraits (they’re getting married this coming February) – we had a lot of fun despite what had to be a record number of mosquitos swarming us… Beautiful light with a cute couple, a photographer can’t ask for better 🙂 We shot some in Beaumont, and a few coming up were with their dog down in Port Neches Park 🙂 Here’s a sneak peek, more to come later in the week 🙂

Amy and Sam are Getting Married!
Recently we photographed Amy and Sam’s engagement session in and around Beaumont, Nederland and Port Neches. They’re getting married next June and I’m excited to be sharing some good times with them over the next year! 🙂 I couldn’t find a field of daisies for them to run towards each other, so we did the next best thing at the Botanical Gardens: In the secret garden: A quick change of clothes and it was off to Mid-County for some more relaxed portraits: I love the light in this one: And one more – I loved this tire swing, just big enough for two 🙂 Yay! 🙂 More are in their…
