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!

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!

Cleveland, TX Backyard Wedding: Summer + David

From engagements, to bridals, to their special wedding day, everything was always vibrant, fun, and unique to them! And let me assure you, this was not your typical backyard wedding… This, instead, was a hand crafted, uniquely designed, and sentimental affair.

It was such a joy to have been able to work with Summer & David throughout the year!

From engagements, to bridals, to their special wedding day, everything was always vibrant, fun, and unique to them!

Summer and David got married in Cleveland, TX, not far outside of the Houston or Beaumont area, on her family’s property- right where she grew up! Now let me assure you, this was not your typical backyard wedding… This, instead, was a hand crafted, uniquely designed, and sentimental affair. You see, this is the same spot where Summer’s grandparents made their vows, so it was very important to her to be able to follow in their footsteps. From the custom crafted arch put together by her family, to the lemon tree that they planted for their unity ceremony, every detail was personalized.

Crazy enough, this wasn’t even their original plan! COVID-19 (drat COVID) caused this couple to pivot from their original plan of a traditional church wedding to this beautiful outdoor affair, but if you ask me, it couldn’t have been a more perfect day! And Summer was full of surprises, she even changed her wedding dress and shocked her bridesmaids at the big reveal. You can see their love and excitement below! ;)

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!

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!

Amy and Jon are precious, you guys! This couple has such natural chemistry, and their connection during their engagement session was undoubted.

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!
