Kaitlyn and Christian have a unique love that many may never get to witness and I was honored to capture their special day. Katilyn is a quiet but cheerful young lady and Christian is a comedian but sharp as blade. Together these to make a formidable couple. After their engagement session which we did earlier in the year, I expected the wedding to be elegant and a blast at the least. Alexia of the TheSavvyConsultants delivered once again; she and her team completely revamped the look of the Hughes Manor venue. The floral arrangements may have been some of the best I've seen all year, but that’s what I have grown to expect from Plant N Petals. The day begin at Houston's historic hotel, Hotel ICON, which is located in the heart of downtown. Kim Clark was the makeup artist for the day, and Kim always does an amazing job. Christian and the fellas got ready at home and worked with my second photographer Mike Munoz. From Hotel Icon, Kaitlyn and her bridesmaids rode a trolley to the midtown church where we captured some amazing portraits. Their first look was a happy and fun moment shared between the two.
On September 23 we had the pleasure of working with two easy going clients. Patricia, a gorgeous bride, who wore a stunning dress and Wilson who was just so happy the day had come were he could marry the love of his life. Patricia and her family rented a historic Galveston beach home which had amazing character, in other words it was a photographers play ground. Wilson enjoyed the comfort of Hotel Galvez while he was getting ready and we had some good laughs as we exchanged stories of fatherhood.
I was fortunate enough to photograph an awesome milestone in any young person's life this past week for Tia Jackson. She was celebrating her 25 birthday, that may not be the correct age but I want to have a long life and you can't do that revealing women's age. Tia brought on Feyi ,a houston based stylist, that I had worked with before, and let me tell you guys Feyi came to Slay, I've always wanted to use that phrase.
I had the chance to work with this amazing couple, who met in medical school and now both medical doctors. Clayton and Nikeisha look great together but their love is far deeper than skin deep. Nikeisha was excited to claim her groom and gladly embraced her husbands culture even though she has her own, which is Jamaican. Clayton is the son of a very influential figure in the Houston Igbo community, so that set the staged for a very grand and exciting night.
I've been a member of St. John's church based out of downtown Houston for over 5 years. Pastor Steven has always been a figure in my church life and had became a figure in my personal life when christened my daughter Milan. Steven is a mild mannered guy, and just easy to be around. When he delivers his sermons they are with great enthusiasm and true conviction.
After meeting Amanda and Simon, I walked away knowing these two shared a special bond, the way their answers seamlessly fit together one could concur that they were both on the same accord. Amanda a teacher had a bubbly and excited energy about her, and Simon with charming Australian accent relayed their exceptions of their special day.
Amy and Francis are a classic case of a sweet girl falling for a kind gentleman. They both we're in attendance of a family friends wedding and it rained and the temperature dropped for the night, Amy being a slim and slender woman began to catch a chill. Francis being the gentleman that he is offered her his jacket, and Amy replied with a yes of cousre. That was the beginning of their love story.
Two of HPD's finest were married the day before Fourth of July, but there was no shortage of fire works. Jessica and Jerry are truly an example of two best friends that make their love official in front of friends and family. Jerry is a clean cut gentleman with a smile and personality that can brighten up any room.
