Heather and Zach were married this past September at the Houston Arboretum in Memorial Park. We were not there to cover their actual wedding, but they did want to get some cool photos after all dressed up at the same location (minus the tent and guests obviously).
We had a lot of fun traipsing around in the woods (and fighting off mosquitoes) and taking photos. We even got a few on Heather's Triumph and in plain clothes.
Carrie and Theo were married this past Saturday at Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church with a reception following at the Petroleum Club of Houston. The ceremony was a traditional Greek mass and the church itself was gorgeous and bright. Unlike many facilities, we had pretty much free reign to take photos wherever we liked so we got plenty of good stuff. Laura even broke out her homemade lens and David got to play with his wonderful 14mm :) After the ceremony, the happy couple and their friends and family got to dance the night away over at PCOH. There was even a little bit of traditional greek dancing and ouzo drinking going on. Event coordination by Natalie with Belle of the Ball while florals and reception decorations were provided by Events in Bloom. The wedding cake was created by Cakes by Gina. The couple is currently honeymooning in Cabo and will continue to live in Houston where Theo is a firefighter and Carrie is a nurse.

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.
Kat and Johnny were so much fun to work with. We started off at Inn at the Ballpark then off to St Theresa Catholic Church for the ceremony and finally back to Vic & Anthony's for the reception. Be sure to check out the groom's customized Converse with the bride's name on the back. Johnny's daughters participated as bridesmaids and Kat's sister had worked tirelessly on all of the reception flower arrangements while Nikova Floral provided the bouquets and boutonnieres. Each guest table was labeled with one of the couple's many favorite cities in Texas. The event was wonderfully coordinated by Danyett Baxter with Two Be Wed. The bride's cake was created by The Cake Lady Bakery and the groom's cake balls by Angie's Cake.
We had to keep these under wraps for awhile as Carrie really did not want Theo to see these. Now that her wedding was this last weekend we can finally share. We photographed her at Annunciation Greek Orthodox Cathedral in August where her wedding was to be held.

Lindsey and Paul were married last Thursday in an intimate ceremony at Tiki Island.
When I (Laura) first spoke to them (a week or so before their wedding) they were just going to have a small ceremony with the two of them and a judge at a local park and then we were going to go take some fun portraits of the two of them around Galveston. Well, as the week progressed, friends and family gathered together and the plan changed significantly and we had a full blown wedding! I was really amazed at what they managed to pull of in less than two weeks time! They had a gorgeous outdoor wedding at the Village of Tiki Island at a friend's house surrounded by all of their family and friends. And we still got to do a few photos around the Strand :)
The couple honeymooned in San Francisco and will continue to live in Galveston while Lindsey finishes medical school at UTMB. Congratulations you guys and it was great to meet you!
We recently covered the wedding of Michelle and Chad at St Anne's Catholic Church and the Courtyard on St James. They were referred to us by a past client of ours and were a blast to work with. The events were coordinated by Jo Ann of Schwartz and Woodward. Entertainment for the evening was provided by the energetic team of Fried Ice Cream Band. The wedding cake was courtesy of Susie's Cakes and Confections and florals were from Wedding Flowers by Lisa. After a honeymoon in Kauai the couple will continue to reside here in Houston.

This past Saturday we got to play with Susan and Eric. We started off at St. Pauls United Methodist Church for the ceremony where everyone was getting ready. I knew it was going to be a good day when I saw Susan's sparkly, dark red Christian Louboutin shoes (Laura loves some shoes!) and her beautiful blush colored dress (it had pockets! How neat is that?) She also had lots of little details that we love to document. She customized her bridal party's flowers with items that meant something to them (A golden peanut on the boutonniere for her man of honor and a dragonfly for her bridesmaid). Eric also had a frog broach on his boutonniere which I think is a really neat idea and personalized the wedding just that much more. After the ceremony we had a little time to kill, so we walked around downtown and were able to get capture some artistic shots of the couple together. At six it was time for the reception to start so the couple was welcomed into the ballroom at The Hotel Icon and the party started from there. Susan and Eric opted to have a really nice dinner party for their guests so that they could socialize in a more intimate environment. Soon after dinner the couple cut the cake to the sounds of a large mariachi band and soon after they took off in their getaway car, a 1932 Pierce Arrow.
It really was a beautiful wedding. The whole thing was orchestrated by Alia Rdissi of Belle of the Ball, who always does such a wonderful job!
The couple will be honeymooning in Spain and will reside in Houston after their return.

Oh, what can we say about Bevin and Dan's wedding that would truly describe it? This was really a completely fabulous celebration of love between one of the neatest couples we have had the pleasure to work with. We were approached by Bevin about a year ago about her wedding, and I was so happy she ended up choosing us!
So about this wedding!
We started our day of at the Hotel ZaZa in the museum district. Bevin was getting ready with her girls in one of the suites while Dan was upstairs in the Black Label suite (which was going to be their suite later that night). This is one of the "Magnificent Seven" Suites on the 12th floor and one of the ones that has an out door tub! We took lots of photos at ZaZa before heading over to the Chapel of St. Basil for the ceremony.
The ceremony itself was a very touching Catholic ceremony. The personalized service was enhanced by Dan's sister in law playing guitar while his niece sang a song for them.
After the ceremony was over, Bevin and Dan exited the church where we got lots of photos on the lawn in front of the church while the guests had cocktails in the labyrinth to the sounds of a full mariachi band. The couple were soon introduced as husband and wife and then guests walked to the Menil Collection by lantern light where they were served cocktails and h'or dourves.
After about an hour we all headed over to the Richmond Hall where the Dan Flavin exhibit is housed for the main reception. Music was provided by the Richard Brown Orchestra, which is something like a 15-20 piece band in the big band tradition. The couple went into their first dance and I have to say they really were amazing dancers! After toasts everyone tucked into the food which was prepared by A Fare Extraordinaire. They had Churrasco steaks with chimichurri sauce, pecan fried chicken, avocados stuff with lump crab meat or edamame, macaroni and cheese with truffles, ceviche with fried plantains and jalapeno cheese grits. Very yummy!
After more dancing we went into the white room for the cake cutting. The cake itself was made by Susie's Cakes and was also all white and shaped to mimic the Dan Flavin light pieces on the walls.
After the reception the couple left to party the night away at the ZaZa with their friends and family and then they went on to a two week road trip through the Florida Keys. Where this will lead them, who knows, but i am sure they will have a blast together!
