Gerald D. Hines Waterwall and Hermann Park Engagement Photography Session Featuring Salmah & Akil was a success! Salmah and Akil have an electrical love! I say this because the sparks in Salmah eyes when she looks at the Akil is very evident. Akil’s energy matched Salmah’s, and you could tell because he would sneak a look at his wife to be me every moment he could. His eyes showed how much he adored her, and it was well deserved because Salmah was a pleasure. She laughed at all my bad jokes and gave me very useful information about being vegan and Covid.
I had never had a completely traditional engagement session before, but Osaze and Tirha gave me a chance to bring their vision to life. These two looked incredible, Osaze and his future wife looked like royalty in their traditional garments. Tirha’s beautiful cheek bones shined through the entire session and Osaze boasted regal style. We shot the first half of the session at Studio 1306, which is conveniently located in downtown Houston. The black background made their outfits and skin tones jump right out at you.
Downtown Houston was the scene for this engagement session featuring Courtney and Harvetta. Harvetta first outfit was stellar and Courtney did a amazing job of matching her fly. The two of them had such a playful demeanor during the entire shot and you could truly tell that Courtney is marrying the love of his life.
My most recent Houston styled engagement session was so much fun and I had the chance to work with some of Houston amazing photographers. Ebony and LaMarcus of DifferentWorldImages reached out to me to shot some rebranding imagery, and my first response was "Me"? In short I was honored to work with the two.
Being based out of Houston, Texas and being a wedding and engagement photographer you have to do things differently to stand out. So over the past couple of years I have noticed several signature things that I do when I photograph couples during weddings and engagement photo sessions. The one similarity that jumped out at me the most was that I had photographed every single one of my couples hands.
I had the pleasure of working Lynn and Wesley, a fellow former University of Houston football teammate. So we decided on making Downtown Houston our engagement photo session playground. These two are an awesome couple, and have a great energy between the two of them
Elmo and Christa are the true definition of two people marrying their best-friend. Christa is a light hearted spirt and Elmo with his witty comments through the session made it a fun one. During our entire time at Chateau Cocomar,
This past weekend I had the chance to work with these two young and very talented models. Pierce and Brenna were featured models at a well known Instagram Meet up in Houston, this past weekend. We were in the Market Square Park which is one of the nicest parks in Downtown Houston area, and had many great elements. These two have great smiles and amazing baby blue eyes, but on top of their great looks they have warm and great personalities as well. This was a fun shot but hey don't take my word for it, let the images tell you.
A couple of weeks ago me and my family were enjoying a day at the park right near McGovern Centennial Gardens and I came across this great looking couple. I noticed that they were engaged and I stopped them and spoke with them briefly and handed them a card. Short back story, I've been a photographer for years and never had cards till that weekend, Crazy right! Most of the time when I hand out cards I don't expect much but hey if you don't take the chance you'll never know.
