Brittany and Warren have been an awesome couple to work with, I'm actually sad to see them go. These two are great people and I enjoyed every moment of their wedding. I knew that we were going to work well together based off the engagement session that did with me late last year. Brittany is a bright and funny young lady, and Warren is the perfect mix of cool and calm.
Their wedding was held at The Heights Villas in Houston, Texas. Brittany and her bridesmaids were a blast and they enjoyed themselves through the whole process. They killed it with the matching fuzzy flip flops. Warren and his groomsmen were sharp. When they both read these specials notes they had prepared for each other, Brittany's love for Warren shined through. As she read his letter you could tell what he meant to her. Warren only lost his chill demeanor when he saw his beautiful bride come down the isle.
Alfred and Ihufoma are a great combination of serious, sophisticated, and successful matched up into one couple. I had the chance to photograph these two's engagement photos so I know that the wedding day was going to be great. Ihufoma dress was gorgeous and Alfred suit was classic. They had so much family in the building, and the energy was through the roof. Lets just say Alfred took over when it came to the dancing!
I recently had the opportunity to work with two time author Kiffany Dugger. She had a bright and happy energy when she came into the studio, which geared me towards the yellow background. Her skin and that gorgeous green dress finalized my decision on the yellow background as well. I just started reading "The Green I Butterfly" which is one of Kiffany books and I can tell it's going to be a good read.
Recently I was able to work with one of Houston very talented videographers GJ of the allseeingeyes.co . GJ has the magic touch and is always getting hired to shoot at amazing venues and beautiful couples. So when he offered me the chance to work with him of course I jumped on it.
I recently worked with Olivia Kizzie, a newly sworn in Medical Doctor. When Olivia is not curing the sick she is making sure she stays fit. She was a former collegiate athlete, and in her words "fitness as a whole has been my life since I started running track from the young age of 11. Now as a future physician I plan to incorporate nutrition and fitness into my patients plan of care with the goal of possibly making a difference in quality of life for each one of my patients". Kizzie's best friend also accompanied her and she had great energy and made the session a blast.
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.
Houston once again BossLife had an amazing event. Rico’s exact words were "We have to make it bigger and better every year!". Well the only way they can one up this year’s event is by giving me an award, or having it on the moon, because the decorand atmosphere were out of this world. Deronica Horn the CEO of Lasting Empressions did an amazing job bringing this all together. The Corinthian is one of Houston premiere event venues boasting tons of square footage in the heart of downtown. The staff is great and the venue has a very upscale feel to it. The ice sculptures provided by Ice Occasions brought an elegance to the event, and GFX killed it with the uplighting and the batman like BossLife light on the outside of the Corinthian was a great touch. The BossLife center piece on the floor was the icing on the cake, I have never personally seen one that was in the shape of a circle. Lace Vinyl did an awesome job with it. Beanz and Cornbread provided a nice and easy sound that you could groove to between Dj Duffey spinning new tracks.
I recently got the chance to work with this awesome couple, Prince and Candice. Prince, a Nigerian Native, and Candice Nigerian by the way of Houston, met when she visited Nigeria. Prince's sister met Candice once before and knew she had what it took to make Prince fall. Prince after being instructed to contact Candice, gave it a try and was politely told NO. Prince was shocked and being told NO was a new thing to him. So he had to find out what Candice was about and what was so special about this young lady. Through the process of discovery, love found it's way and here we are now. Prince adores Candice, and is tender and kind with her. You can tell Candice loves every moment with him and always laughing.
Chris and his awesome family gave me the chance to work with them this Holiday season. Amber ,Chris's wife, did an amazing juggling all three of the kiddos meanwhile keeping a smile. Isabella the oldest has a confident spirit and knew exactly what to do to make her younger brothers smile. Matthew aka the guy in the middle was a blast, to be three that guy had a lot of one liners and his sweater was pretty neat. I actually looked for the sweater in an adult size to no prevail. Ender, the little guy, would smile on a drop of a dime and he had such a lay-backed demeanor about him.
Jet Lounge is the most recent lounge opened by Aristocratlife.com. When I saw it, I knew I was going to photograph Alfred and Ihuoma at this location because their unique style. The two made the place their own, and the laughs and smiles were genuine. From there we went and captured some magic in Downtown Houston. The two meshed so well together and the way Alfred held Ihuoma you can tell she has found her protector in him. I have no clue what Alfred was saying majority of the shot but Ihuoma never stopped smiling. Don't take my word for it check out the images.
