The Oak Atelier- Conroe Wedding Portraits: Stephanie + Jarod

If you have not been to the Oak Atelier, it’s a space that you don’t want to ignore. Tucked into a wooded property, this venue offers its iconic glass greenhouse that allows the most whimsical and beautiful natural light, and this is what Stephanie was in love with at this venue. We were able to capture some true fall magic!

Stephanie and Jarod decided that instead of an elaborate wedding day, they preferred to elope and spend their time taking beautiful and low-pressure wedding portraits! We were thrilled to be there for them and capture their love at Oak Atelier in Conroe, TX.

The Gin at Hidalgo Falls- Navasota, TX Wedding: Kendall + Tam

Kendall and Tam had the most beautiful wedding day, and such a sweet love for one another!

Kendall and Tam had the most beautiful wedding day, and such a sweet love for one another!

JM1_6312.jpg

They chose The Gin at Hidalgo Falls for their wedding day, and boy oh boy, was everything stunning! This was our first time to visit The Gin at Hidalgo Falls, and we immediately fell in love. The venue is about 1-2 hours outside of Houston, in an area that you wouldn’t expect to have such a stunning venue with such an interesting history. The venue used to be an old cotton gin, and they kept to the industrial feel of the main hall and groom’s quarters, while integrating modern touches to appeal to today’s brides and grooms.

But not only was the venue stunning, everything about the day was breathtaking. Kendall’s mom arranged all of the florals and decor, and for someone who loves glitz and gold, I was in awe as I stepped into the reception area and watched the sun dance over all of the jewel tones. Kendall and Tam had the epitome of a Texas fall wedding- perfect temperature (although VERY windy!), bright sunny skies, and rich burgundy, navy, and gold for their color choice.

JM2_8104-Copy 1.jpg

Even more than a gorgeous scene that they set was the beautiful spirit of God that they invited into their ceremony and celebration. You can tell that this will be one of those marriages that is centered around their faith- the kind of marriages that are our favorite!

Kendall and Tam, we wish you the very best in your future together! May you both be blessed beyond measure!
