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!
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.
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!

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!

Downtown Houston Engagements: Terry + Luis
Terry spends her time as a Travel blogger and influencer photographer here in Houston, so we couldn’t think of a more appropriate location for her engagements than right in the heart of downtown Houston. She wanted something that captured both the city, and Houston’s diversity and nature, so together we chose Boomtown Coffee on Main Street, and then headed to the Dunlavy for some gorgeous golden hour shots.
Terry and Luis have been a couple for over NINE YEARS, Y’ALL! When we realized that, it made us wonder- are you even old enough to be together for that long?! These high school sweethearts are getting married next month on their tenth anniversary, and I don’t know what could be more romantic. :)

Amy and Jon are precious, you guys! This couple has such natural chemistry, and their connection during their engagement session was undoubted.
This sweet couple was full of joy and laughter throughout their entire Downtown Houston engagement session, and even decided to incorporate how they met into their session- and it was so cute! You’ll have to scroll to the bottom to see it, but I promise, you won’t regret it!

When we asked Amy and Jon how they met, they unashamedly said, “Coffee Meets Bagel”! More and more, we are meeting couples who have been able to find their match online, and we think that is so cool! Both Amy and Jon relocated to Houston after college, and that they were able to meet their match here in HTX, well, I’m proud of, at least!

When me met Claire & Adam for their engagement session, we were totally impressed by how snazzy this awesome couple looked! Don’t you agree??

We chose this Houston Med Center park as the backdrop for their photos, and honestly, I am glad that we did, because the modern yet regal architecture of the pillars, the majesty of the greenery, and the cool pergola- I love a good pergola!- truly matched them perfectly.
Claire & Adam, we can’t wait for your wedding next spring, and we are excited to see where God takes you both!
Oaks at Oak Plantation Country Engagements: Erin + Jake
Erin and Jake told us that they had never done photos before, but I kept telling them I didn’t believe them because of what naturals they were!

This dynamic couple not only was great in front of the camera, but had such a fun & sweet chemistry with one another. The love was obvious! These are two cool cats, too. Jake is a police officer, and Erin works for the Justice Department as a Crime Scene Investigator. Real life CSI!
We met them at the gorgeous new venue in the Rosharon area, The Oaks at Oak Plantation, where they will be getting married in May 2020. The property and the venue itself were both absolutely gorgeous. The oak trees made for a great backdrop outdoors, and the beautiful chandeliers were breathtaking inside. We even managed to get some of the cows near the property in their shots. ;)
Overall, Erin & Jake’s engagement session was definitely one that showed their personality and love for one another very apparently, and that’s always our goal!
Erin & Jake, we wish you many years of happiness ahead! Good luck with the rest of your wedding planning! :D
Downtown Houston Engagements: Samantha + Jimbo
Samantha and Jimbo have been together for TEN YEARS! We are so excited for them to be officially tying the knot and living their lives as husband and wife.

When Samantha was trying to plan her session, we wanted to find somewhere that looked a little Houston, but also somewhere that wasn’t just concrete buildings. We settled on Sam Houston Park downtown, and it was so beautiful. This secluded, green, park-paradise is in the middle of downtown, surrounded by the sky scrapers and highways, but you feel as though you aren’t even in the city anymore! We wanted to incorporate the skyline into some of the photos to give a more urban vibe, since Sam said that previously their photos had all been more forest-y. After Sam Houston Park, we made our way to a rooftop, where we were able to get more of the skyline and truly rep Houston in their Astros jerseys.
All-in-all, everyone had a great time, and we were glad that Sam reached out so that we could meet this fun couple!
Santa Fe, TX Maternity: Kristina + Greg
When Kristina first reached out about a maternity session, she mentioned bringing baby goats- Wait, what?! How cool, yes please! I could already tell that Kristina & Greg were going to be a ton of fun!

Although we didn’t end up with the baby goats, lol, we had a blast with this awesome couple, and can tell that they’re going to be cool parents. Not only do they breed goats at their farm, but they incorporated Jimmy Fallon books into their session, which is pretty great in itself!
Kristina & Greg, the love that you guys show for each other is just going to be multiplied for baby Evelyn, so Josh and I know that she will be abundantly loved! Can’t wait to see baby E!
