Emma & Paul - The Wedding - Paraiso Maravilla - Houston, Texas
December 22, 2009
I really can't say enough wonderful things about this wedding.  I was privileged to work with some amazing folks, not to mention my gorgeous bride and groom.  Valerie Vance Alaniz with Bridal Trends Weddings & Events planned a gorgeous event and Claudia with A Day to Remember did a beautiful job with the cakes & linens.  Gerardo Garmendia & his wife, Angela took care of the videography and did a fabulous job! Dianna rocked the second shooting like she always does...several of the images below are due to her amazing eye!  I couldn't have asked for a more professional, friendly group of people to work with and the result was one heck of a gorgeous wedding!  Brace yourself for some serious EYE CANDY...

Doug & Elaine - The Wedding - Hotel Derek - Houston, TX
December 15, 2009
Elaine & Doug had both their ceremony and reception at Hotel Derek... and I have never seen it so gorgeous!  They opted to see each other before the ceremony for a "couples" session & it totally paid off.  Darryl & Co. handled all the details and did a fabulous job!  I had a hard time narrowing down my faves... so ready yourself for a little blog post overdose ;). Check out the little guy with the camera... he was taking pictures of US all night long! (and all credit due goes to Dianna, my right-hand "man", for the fabulous shoe shot & ring shots!)

Laura & Matt - The Wedding!
December 8, 2009
My goodness.  It's been nearly a month and a half since I blogged!  Needless to say it's been a very busy few months.  Stay tuned for many more blog posts as I get all caught up and share all of our beautiful fall weddings & sessions with you!  

I'll start with Laura & Matt.  They were married at First Evangelical Lutheran Church & celebrated at the historical Magnolia Ballroom.  I LOVED the perspective from the choir loft we were allowed to have at the church and because it was my first time to shoot at the Ballroom I was eating up all the new ideas!  Enjoy the faves...
