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:

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!

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
