Antique Rose Emporium Wedding: Whitney + Kanaan
Whitney & Kanaan had one of the sweetest wedding days of all time.
I’m truly not kidding when I say this!
Whitney & Kanaan had one of the sweetest wedding days of all time.
I’m truly not kidding when I say this!
From the time we walked out of the car, I could feel that it would be a perfect and peace filled day. There are some wedding days that feel rushed with a hint of anxious energy, and this was just not one of them! Everyone was so calm and happy, not once did I see anyone frantically rushing to get dressed or to get the reception area set up!
Whitney & Kanaan chose the Antique Rose Emporium as their venue, and it absolutely floored us with its charm. If you are looking for a classic chapel or a garden style wedding, this is 100% the place for you! The Rose Emporium was so unique and unlike any other venue we had seen or been to before, and a photographer’s dream! So many areas to take gorgeous portraits, and we did our best to hit as many gorgeous spots as possible. So glad Whitney & Kanaan were willing to take extra time to enjoy golden hour and the sun setting to get in some extra portraits! They were so natural with one another, and it really allowed their personalities to shine through and add extra beauty to an already perfect scene. :)
On top of the adorable venue (and couple), some of our favorite elements were the personal touches that the couple added to their day. Whitney’s dress, for example, was actually her mother’s vintage wedding dress. The first look with dad was so sweet, as she said, “look familiar?” as dad walked her way! Kanaan also went the extra mile with the cake toppers! At first look, one would think that the bride’s cake topper is just an adorable wooden bride and groom, but Kanaan actually had the toppers made custom to be replications of himself and Whitney! And I can’t forget the groom’s cake! Kanaan hand created the topper to be a wedding ceremony with comic book character guests. And of course, Stan Lee was officiating. ;)
They ended their day with a fun sparkler exit, and we didn’t even have to prompt him to dip and kiss his new bride before they drove off!
All in all, Mr. & Mrs. Windham, your day was perfect and we wish you decades of happiness, centered around Jesus. <3
Union Station Houston Wedding: Kelley + Jorge
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
Josh and I were lucky (blessed) enough to be granted the privilege of helping to document this sweet couple’s love from the proposal to the day that they drove away as man and wife. Wedding days can be stressful, but if they were stressed, we couldn’t tell. Their calm, cool, and collected demeanor helped to make our “job” easy from day one, and that same peace that we felt with them leading up to the day of the wedding only continued throughout their absolutely beautiful wedding day.
Kelley & Jorge’s wedding day was an absolute dream, I tell you.
The ceremony focused on a scripture that Josh and I hold dearly in our own marriage- “What God has joined together, let no man separate.” Every detail was perfectly coordinated, every flower perfectly arranged, and OMG THE RECEPTION Y’ALL. Stepping into the impeccably decorated Union Station was like stepping into a real-life fairytale.
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

Angela & Mike
Having been victims of the floodwaters of Hurricane Harvey in August, Angela and Mike made the decision to have an intimate family wedding, in order to focus their attention on rebuilding their damaged home. On November 4, 2017, their plans came to fruition, and they had such a beautiful ceremony at Helen's Gardens in League City!
Having been victims of the floodwaters of Hurricane Harvey in August, Angela and Mike made the decision to have an intimate family wedding, in order to focus their attention on rebuilding their damaged home. On November 4, 2017, their plans came to fruition, and they had such a beautiful ceremony at Helen's Gardens in League City! This fun couple truly made it a day that reflected their fun and light personalities, and Mike kept everybody rolling the whole afternoon with his quick wit. Before the wedding, Mike described the day as being "the happiest day of his life", and based on the ear to ear smiles on both of their faces, I don't doubt for a minute that his words were true. :)
Although the rain cut us a little short, their wedding day was absolutely gorgeous, and their love for one another was so evident and undeniable.
Angela & Mike, we hope that you had such a wonderful first Thanksgiving as husband and wife, and many, many more blessed holidays to come!
Mikala & Josh
