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.
Ashton Garden West is where Osaze and Tirhas’ culturally infused reception took place but their day begun in the Energy Corridor of Houston Texas. The ceremony was held at Notre Dame Catholic Church , a Southwest Houston Catholic staple. I don’t know how the couple pulled it off but this was our first time there and a complete mass wasn’t held.
I normally shot in the Downtown Houston Area, but for this dynamic couple I decided to switch things up. We ventured into the Museum District of Houston, Texas and created some magic. James and Shakeela were a fun couple and they laughed at all my horrible jokes so they are ok in my book.
Kenneth aka “Mookey” is a Lamar Redskin Alumni and dear friend of mine, so when his wife to be Melissa also a fellow Lamar Redskin Alumni reached out to me to cover their approaching special day at the Hess Club, I was all over it.
The Bell Tower on 34th is a beautiful venue and was a fitting scene for AP and Ashford's special wedding day. When I met AP and Ashford for their engagement session I instantly felt a great vibe from these two. AP was cool and calm, you could tell he has lived a bit. Ashford was shy and quiet but AP keep her laughing. They have a really great chemistry and it was evident day of the wedding.
St. Lukes Methodist Church was a beautiful sight to see, the architecture was astonishing. The chapels are immaculate, especially the ivory colored marble floors. What an amazing finish! Although the church held much beauty, the true beauty came when I got the chance to work with two stellar people.
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.
Chance is adorable, that is the entire write up. Just joking, my long time friend Elmo Parker whose wedding I'll be shooting this year reached out to me about capturing some images of his son. Most parents say their child is cute or adorable but they are usually bias. Well thats not the case for Chance, this kid has the look. We captured some quick images in the heart of Third Ward Houston, Texas right near Elmo World Famous Restaurant Kim's Kitchen. I love how the images came out, and if you disagree with his cuteness something may be wrong with you
Sugarland, Texas has a small town feel and that was the perfect for this family portrait photo session. Karla(far right) commissioned us to capture her, her sisters, and mother so that they could fresh this moment in time. The sisters (Kristen far right, Keri Middle) had their own unique personalities and their mother(The youngest looking one) was a riot.
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.
