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.

They stood on different sides of the door without peeking
