Who Made the Cake! Spring 2010 Samples

Once again Nadine with Who Made the Cake!  delivered her latest creations to us to document for her advertising purposes. She never ceases to amaze us with her creativity and cake construction. And if you are one of the fortunate one's to visit our studio while they are here you cannot miss the intoxicating aroma of wedding cake! It certainly helps keep us motivated. 

Events in Bloom - River Oaks Country Club

As we had a rare Sunday wedding this last weekend, Rob with Events in Bloom contacted David to make arrangements to capture room shots for a wedding reception on Saturday at River Oaks Country Club. 

Events In Bloom - Houston Bridal Extravaganza January 2010

Laura got to go play at the Bridal Extravaganza and take photos for Rob and jesus over at Events in Bloom. These guys always create the most amazing displays! This time around they had got a whole lot of new furniture and linens and of course they were showcasing the truly innovative floral design. New this year were some mirrored display cubes, swanky whiter leather chairs, some 60's inspired wire barstools, curved suede banquets and some swanky new lounge furniture, not to mention the sparkly silver ball chandeliers. So awesome!

Fried Ice Cream at House of Blues Houston

This past Friday night Laura got to go play backstage and all around the House of Blues to take photos for Fried Ice Cream, a variety band we work with on a regular basis. It was pretty exciting, let me tell you. Not only are they a great band, but just the thought of all of the really awesome performers that have and will share that stage is just jaw dropping. 

 

Imagine That! Westin Oaks

We were recently asked by Buffy Scott of Imagine That! to document her set up for a holiday party she designed at the Westin Oaks Galleria. The party had a James Bond theme going on, think "Casino Royale," and she did a fantastic job on setting the scene. She had all of these fabulous cut outs that she had made of spy silhouettes, that really looked great. She also painted a really cool backdrop for the guests to have a photo opportunity as they walked into the casino party. I left well before the guests started to arrive, but I can only imagine what a great party this turned out to be!

St John's School - Houston, Texas

We were recently hired by St. John's School to document the architectural aspects and unique details of the campus for the Quadrangle, the school's annual yearbook. We were honored to have been asked based on our attention to detail and vision.

If you are not familiar with St. John's it is one of the leading private schools in Houston. If any of the images look vaguely familiar you might be surprised to learn that the campus was used as the school in the film, Rushmore, directed by a former St. John's Alum, Wes Anderson.

Imagine That! at Westin Galleria

We were recently contacted by Imagine That! to document the details as well as rooms shots for one of their charity events held at the Westin Galleria. As we just love to see what event planners and decorators are up to David jumped at the chance to document the company's rendition of the Vincent van Gogh's Starry Night inspired environment created for this holiday event. Buffy's company handled creating and coordinating everything from the draping, lighting, floral arrangements, backdrops and more. Happy Holidays!

Events in Bloom - Houston Country Club

Immediately after finishing Kat & Johnny's wedding, David headed on over to Houston Country Club to honor a prior request by Rob with Events in Bloom to capture the ballroom before the guests were let in. This had to be a record time for getting the room shots and details. It certainly looked like a lovely wedding and David was glad to actually be home before midnight on a Saturday, in fact he was back at the studio and unloaded by 9:15pm.

Novalash commercial fashion photography

While David was out of town, Laura got to play with the girls from Novalash again. This time we did a more fashion-oriented session with some really futuristic makeup. I think it looks like something from Cirque du Soleil.

This shoot was really good for exercising some creative muscles and playing with some of our new studio equipment.

Events in Bloom - River Oaks Country Club

Last weekend Rob Smith asked David to work his magic and document his latest wedding reception decor at River Oaks Country Club. While David actually had a weekend off he certainly did not mind getting to play and capture yet another fantastic Events In Bloom creation. It never ceases to amaze us as to what they come up with next. The custom candle screens, glass pedestals and their fashionable lounge furniture always add a fun touch. Also included is a beautiful bride's cake by Cake Creations that Rob decorated with hydrangeas and orchids.
