Galveston, TX Pleasure Pier Maternity: Davanie + Billy

You haven’t SEEN stunning until you’ve seen Davanie & Billy’s maternity session. This Galveston photo session was so dreamy, with the natural light setting just right through the pillars of the pier, and Davanie & Billie were absolutely glowing.

Galveston, TX Pleasure Pier Maternity: Davanie + Billy

You haven’t SEEN stunning until you’ve seen Davanie & Billy’s Galveston maternity session, and I can’t believe we are so behind is sharing it!

To commemorate their love for the ocean and their time in the Houston and Galveston area before a big move, they decided to do their maternity photos at the Galveston seawall, right by Pleasure Pier (one of our favorite spots). This Galveston photo session was so dreamy, with the natural light setting just right through the pillars of the pier, and Davanie & Billie were absolutely glowing.

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.

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!

Galveston Pleasure Pier Family Session: Love Family

Galveston Pleasure Pier Family Session

We love watching the Love family grow! (How appropriate, am I right? ;) )

Galveston Pleasure Pier Family Session

We love watching the Love family grow! (How appropriate, am I right? ;) ) We have had the privilege of taking photos for Heather and Justin, and now little Payton for the past year; we’ve been able to see Heather during pregnancy, met baby Payton right after her birth, and now celebrate her first birthday and her parents making it through their first year with everyone happy and healthy!

Heather chose Pleasure Pier as the spot for this commemoration, since that is where we also did their maternity photos in 2019. What a way to celebrate and reminisce! The day was a warm August evening at the beach, but we were blessed with a good breeze, and the ability to not have to work around the summer crowd. Payton loved the water, and we had a great time overall!

Heather & Justin, you made it! And Payton, happy birthday little one!

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!
