Aubin and Jeremy decided to have an engagement dinner for their close friends and family and they hosted it at The Grove in downtown Houston. This intimate event gave them an opportunity greet and mingle all their guests while celebrating the beginning of their life together. A fun twist on the day was that they had four flavors of cupcakes from Sprinkles instead of a wedding cake!

One last portrait

Everything worked out perfectly so that we could do a great portrait session in Galveston after their wedding reception and before they left for their cruise. I was so excited! It’s not often that we get to have an extended period of time to shoot on the wedding day without the stress of a timeline so I jumped at the opportunity to go to Galveston. We started by shooting at a miniature golf course then proceeded to the Galveston beach while onlookers enjoyed their time in the water. The session was wrapped up by heading to the strand and walking around looking for fun spots to use. I’m loving their portrait session!

Just married

It’s a great honor when a friend asks me to photograph their very special wedding day because I get to part of their day in a very unique way! So of course I was excited to be asked by Jill to shoot her wedding. They had their ceremony at Second Baptist Church of Houston with the reception following. A few unique tidbits about their day: they had family that flew very far to be there with them, and Jill’s bouquet was made with flower brooches instead of real flowers. It was a beautiful arrangement

I can’t wait to show the amazingly beautiful portraits we did at Galveston on the beach following the wedding, to come tomorrow! And a big thanks to Monique Montoya for her help at the ceremony and reception.
