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: Amy + Jon

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!

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!

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.

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!

Minute Maid Park Houston Engagements: Amanda + Justin

When we met Amanda, she let us know that she had a surprise for Justin, so we had to meet in secret without him. As it turns out, Justin is a BIG TIME Astros fan (a long with many native Houstonians), and she had a little somethin’ up her sleeve, to say the least. When she said that she wanted to do the photos INSIDE the stadium, uhhhh we’re in, obviously!

THIS has been one of the coolest engagement sessions that we have been able to be part of! Here’s the scoop:

When she said that she wanted to do the photos INSIDE the stadium, uhhhh we’re in, obviously!

Amanda told Justin that they would be able to do some of their engagement shoot outside of Minute Maid Park to accommodate his love of the Astros, and that they could wear wear their custom jerseys. He obviously agreed, but openly told us that he was surprised when she didn’t mention bringing other outfits. Funny story, Justin actually joked about breaking into the stadium as we were walking outside, before he knew he was going in! Amanda spilled the beans, and to say that Justin was in shock and ecstatic would be an understatement.

We were able to take and document their stadium tour, and take photos on the field- so cool! And the tour guides even went to the scoreboard and changed the score to their wedding date for their save the date.

Overall, Amanda, ya did good, girl! We can’t wait for your wedding this summer!

Downtown Discovery Green Houston Engagements: Courtney + McCae

Courtney & McCae, you guys are just ADORABLE, honestly!

Courtney contacted us to be the photographers for her wedding after a photography horror story where the previous photographer basically ghosted them after she paid her deposit. What a nightmare! It is stories like hers that inspire us even further to try and provide the best client experience that we can.
