Briana & Eric | Rice University Engagement Session

There’s just something magical about the architecture and oak-lined walkways at Rice University, and Briana & Eric’s engagement session made the most of every beautiful detail. From the moment we arrived on campus, their joy and connection lit up the lens—and we couldn’t have asked for a sweeter couple or a better backdrop.

Hannah & James | Engagement Session at McGovern Centennial Gardens, Houston TX

There’s something truly special about couples who radiate joy—and Hannah and James were no exception! We had the absolute honor of capturing their engagement session at McGovern Centennial Gardens in the heart of Houston, and every moment was filled with laughter, love, and the kind of connection that makes our job so rewarding.

It was a privilege to shoot Courtney and Tacho’s engagement at Clay Family Eastern Glades in Memorial Park. Huge thanks to Instagram for connecting us to this fun, photogenic, couple who was super easy to work with. Wishing them all the best on their destination wedding in San Diego, and looking forward to future sessions after they tie the knot!

I’M SO EXCITED FOR MY FRIEND SAM! And of course, you too, Connor ;)

This was certainly a surprise to everyone involved, but we cannot wait to meet this little baby and welcome it to the framily!

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!

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!

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. :)

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

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.

It was so cool to meet up with Ariel after like, what, 12 years?! Ariel and I (Mikala) went to middle and high school together! After graduation, I moved to Houston, and you know how that goes. BUT, when Ariel reached out to us to do some fun/casual engagements for them, we were thrilled and gave a resounding “Absolutely!”

Whitney & Kanaan had one of the sweetest wedding days of all time.

I’m truly not kidding when I say this!

Allie & Chris were SUCH A BLAST!

Josh has known Chris for years, and it was a great time for them to reconnect and have some fun taking engagement portraits for him and his bride-to-be. :)

Shannon and Andy had such a wonderful wedding day!

Shannon, being a former photographer, chose The Meekermark as her venue because of all the beautiful natural lighting, large windows, and the gorgeous outdoor chapel for the ceremony. And boy, it is stunning!

We absolutely love sessions with Jade & Buddy! Not only are they our friends, but they are just so much fun to work with. Jade asked if we had any suggestions for locations and feels for their session, and totally trusted us to craft something beautiful and memorable for them. (THANKS, JADE!!)

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!

We are absolutely beyond ecstatic for Karla and Jared, and even more excited to be part of their (I can already guarantee it will be off the charts) wedding!

**Cue the confetti!**

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.

Kelley & Jorge’s wedding day was an absolute dream, I tell you.

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

Merry almost Christmas, everyone!

Christmas is always such a fun, special time, and we had an absolute BLAST with all of our awesome families and couples this year!
