The Springs Magnolia Wedding: Lorena + Ronald

No pandemic can stop this love!

Lorena and Ronald’s original June wedding date had to be rescheduled to September due to COVID-19, so once they finally were able to celebrate their love with friends and family, nothing could keep the smiles off of the faces of these two!

No pandemic can stop this love!

Lorena and Ronald’s original June wedding date had to be rescheduled to September due to COVID-19, so once they finally were able to celebrate their love with friends and family, nothing could keep the smiles off of the faces of these two!

Lorena and Ronald decided that The Springs Magnolia would make the perfect backdrop for their Labor Day wedding, and it couldn’t have been a more beautiful September day for it! From the moment that we walked in the door, everyone had such a peace and joy surrounding them, and when we were there to witness Lorena and Ronald’s first prayer together, there was not a doubt in my mind that the love they had was one for the ages.

The ceremony was beautiful, the reception filled with games and laughter, and we sent them off with a sparkler celebration, and added an ENCORE just for fun. ;)

Lorena and Ronald, you two had such a sweet wedding day, and the love that you share is so evident! We pray for decades of happiness for you both!

Webster, TX Family Session: Garcia Family

Everyone loves a good family session around Christmastime, including us! The Garcia family was gorgeous and so easy to work with- even with 5 kiddos!

Challenger Seven Park, a personal favorite, was a perfect backdrop for their session and never disappoints! The day was perfect, the smiles were golden, and the rest is history. Check out their session!

Urban Downtown Houston Engagements: Kassie + Ryan

Kassie & Ryan were sooo cuteee, y’all!

We chose downtown Houston as the location for their portraits- Kassie wanted something a little city-feeling, and as we explored, we found some great spots along the way! We ended the session on top of a garage rooftop at sunset to put the icing on the cake of their killer urban session. Kassie’s outfit was perfect for upcoming NYE, and we can’t wait to celebrate their wedding at The Springs- Wallisville later this year!

Citadel Houston Wedding: Karla + Jared

The Gartner girls know how to PARTY, Y’ALL!

We had the great pleasure of meeting Karla and Jared last fall at Karla’s sister, Kelley’s, epic wedding, and Karla’s was just as incredible! Karla and Jared are a dynamic duo, and their love for each other and for having a great time is undeniable!

The Gartner girls know how to PARTY, Y’ALL!

We had the great pleasure of meeting Karla and Jared last fall at Karla’s sister, Kelley’s, epic wedding, and Karla’s was just as incredible! Karla and Jared are a dynamic duo, and their love for each other and for having a great time is undeniable!

From the moment we stepped on the scene, everyone was calm, cool, and collected, and giddy for their big day. You could tell that Karla was ready to marry the man of her dreams, and Jared was ready to sweep his princess off her feet and be able to give her his name.

Karla chose St. Christopher’s Catholic Church as their ceremony location, and not only was it colorful and unique, it also has sentimental value to the family. When I asked how the church was chosen, I was told that this was the same church that Karla and Kelley’s parents were married in nearly 30 years before. What a way to start your marriage, and a legacy to step into!

We followed the beautiful ceremony to the dream-like castle, Citadel Houston, where the day continued. And you guys, the place was immaculate. The Perfect Touch did an outstanding job with decor, Cakes by Gina killed it on the 5-tier, white and ornately decorated gold bride’s cake and creative groom’s cake, and everything just came together like it was a fairytale. And like I said, the Gartner girls know how to throw a party! The dance floor was never empty, and you can’t top breakfast tacos as a late night snack. :)

What I said in 2018 about Kelley’s wedding day also applies to Karla’s big day: “Everything was gorgeous, the party never died, and most importantly, the fairytale princess married her Prince Charming in a wedding that only dreams can imagine. <3”

Congratulations to Karla and Jared! May you enjoy decades of a God-blessed marriage ahead of you!

Much love,
Mikala & Josh

Urban Houston Engagements: Summer + David

We had a blast with Summer and David during their bright and colorful engagement session!

We quickly found that the vibrant and unique settings that we chose were a perfect match to this stylish young couple. :)

We had a blast with Summer and David during their bright and colorful engagement session!

Summer plans to have a very color-filled summer wedding, so we thought- what better couple to explore Baytown’s Umbrella Alley with! We then took a trip to Houston’s museum district, where we explored the classic North and South Boulevard, and the Glassell School of Art. We quickly found that the vibrant and unique settings that we chose were a perfect match to this stylish young couple. :)

Summer and David, we are looking forward to your bright and beautiful wedding in June!

We actually met Karla when preparing for her sister, Kelley’s, beautiful wedding as her photographers. These girls have style and class, not to mention that they know how to have fun. ;) To be able to document both of the beautiful Gartner sisters’ weddings is truly an honor!

Karla & Jared have such natural chemistry and we can tell that they love each other deeply, and enjoy each other genuinely. These two were laughing and having fun the entire time, and their comfort with one another shines through their final images.

Karla & Jared, we will take your photos ANYTIME! You are a gorgeous couple and we had a great time!

Can’t wait until October!
