Johnna and Adam Get Married!
Johnna and Adam arrived at Wesley United Methodist Church, Nederland on a *beautiful* sunny day. It’s a great day to get married: 🙂 Everything in the church was ready to go, white roses adorning everything that didn’t move. Johnna and her girls have moved into another gear as they shake off the effects of handfuls of fingerfoods from the morning’s brunch. Here, all hands on deck as one bridesmaid gets her eyelashes perfected and lips balmed: Johnna has stepped into her dress. Assisted by her mom, she begins the process of tieing, clasping and fastening a Wagner Original gown handmade for her. An obviously admiring sister looks on. As her…

Johnna and Adam Get Married!
Johnna’s wedding day began bright and early on a beautiful summer day at Salon Mecca in Port Neches on Nall. It was time for nails, hair and girl-talk: Meanwhile, Adam and his men started their day at Nederland Nails with a pedicure, of course 🙂 From there it was on to fishing in the pond, smoking a few stogies and just relaxing while trying to stay cool on what was one of the hotter days this summer: Back at Salon Mecca, it was Johnna’s turn in the chair while her mom and her girls looked on: I believe this is when Johnna and her mom lock eyes while Johnna’s bridal…

Nederland Weddings | Celina and Matt
Wedding days are like ducks swimming – to those on the outside everything is going smoothly, little effort needed; to those on the inside, under the surface everyone is kicking furiously, many hands and feet working towards the final effortless-looking goal. It’s good when those on the inside can schedule breaks in the day, slow down a bit and enjoy it a lot more. We began Celina’s day bright and early that Saturday morning at the Nail Cottage, where Celina and her girls were getting their manicures on. Mimosas kept the laughter easy while they buffed, filed, painted and microwaved their nails into perfection. I guess that wasn’t a microwave,…

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…

Nederland Weddings | Ashley and AJ – Part One
This past week I had the honor of photographing Ashley and AJ’s beautiful wedding. You’ve seen their engagement and bridal photos over the past months, this is the day we’ve been working toward… Beginning early in the morning, I caught up with Ashley and her girls at La Vie Salon in Nederland – I love the smell of hairspray in the morning! 😉 Ashley was all in a tizzy: No curlers were harmed in the making of these images! 🙂 It takes a while for that many girls to get their hair done on one day but it was worth the wait – La Vie does excellent work. Rings! Once…

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…

Morgin and Patrick’s Wedding – Part Deux
We’re back! 🙂 When we last left Morgin and Patrick’s wedding, they were getting ready for the big moment and now it’s arrived! You can view the first part of their wedding day here. Morgin and her girls make the sprint to the finish line: The time is here: I love here how people are just kind of looking around, but Patrick has “laser” vision for his bride: Lighting the unity candle: We have lift off! 🙂 May I present Mr. and Mrs. Patrick Gonzales: From there it was on over to the Neches Room in Beaumont – a great venue for a wedding reception and where we photographed Morgin’s…
