There’s nothing better than reconnecting with a sweet family—and that’s exactly what made this session so special. We first met Sophia Villegas when we photographed her 15th birthday, and now she’s all grown up and graduating! This April, we had the honor of capturing her senior portraits and a full family photo session at the beautiful Challenger Seven Memorial Park in Webster, TX.
If you're planning a Houston wedding and looking for a venue that’s just as beautiful indoors as it is outdoors, Madera Estates in Conroe, TX is a dream come true. Just ask Gracie and Ethan, who tied the knot in February with a celebration that was equal parts romantic, joyful, and unforgettable.
She Said Yes! Izaiah & Bri’s Sweet Surprise Proposal in Houston Heights
March 28th was a day to remember for Izaiah and Bri! What started as a normal walk through the beautiful Houston Heights turned into one of the best days of their lives. The surprise proposal went off without a hitch, and Bri said yes with the biggest smile ever. Izaiah pulled it off like a pro—Bri didn’t suspect a thing!
If you have not been to the Oak Atelier, it’s a space that you don’t want to ignore. Tucked into a wooded property, this venue offers its iconic glass greenhouse that allows the most whimsical and beautiful natural light, and this is what Stephanie was in love with at this venue. We were able to capture some true fall magic!
We have known Jackson since he was 11 years old, playing drums for the church youth band. He is an incredible musician who participates in the Houston Youth Symphony. When you think of Jackson, you think of DRUMS. For this senior session, he even brought his own kit to the shoot.
Kendall and Blake live in New Braunfels, which happens to be a gorgeous location for an engagement shoot! We chose Landa Park, and the diverse scenery, beautiful park, changing leaves, and breathtaking, hill-country, landscape serve as a stunning backdrop. We look forward to celebrating their wedding with them in June!
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.
This couple could NOT have picked a more beautiful venue for their shoot! The Peach Orchard is brimming with lovely backdrops and dazzling scenery. Melissa and Joe are super sweet and easy-going, giving off a calm excitement that shines through in their photographs. The classy, modern, décor gave this shoot an upscale vibe.
Our associate, Megan, did this session and we’re thrilled on how it turned out! Ella and Megan met and serve together at Valiant Church on Galveston island, where Ella has invited many of her college friends. Ella’s studies and tattoos were driven by her passion for the ocean, so naturally, she wanted to her photos to showcase that passion by taking some photos right on the beach near Galveston Pleasure Pier.
After graduation, she plans to continue her post-grad studies at Oceans Research Institute in South Africa. (how cool!) We can’t wait to see your success and adventures, Ella!
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!
Jake graduates from University of Houston this month, and we are so pumped for him! Congratulations, Jake, on your achievement!
It was nice to be a wedding guest for once, and to be able to attend with the family! Congrats to cousin Alan and his bride, Adrienne!
We absolutely love reconnecting with our loyal JMG families, and this was no exception! Check out this extended family session at the former Butler Longhorn Museum!
It had been a while since I (Mikala) had been behind the lens, but we got a babysitter for Tate and dusted some cobwebs off for this maternity session with our friends Yaz & Jesus!
We were thrilled to meet Kyle & Daniell’s little guy! Congrats to our friends and their growing family!
It was such a pleasure to reconnect with Veronica and meet her sweet hubby, and see how ecstatic they were to add baby Aurora to their family! Check out this gorgeous maternity session at Mercer Botanic Gardens in Humble, TX! So dreamy!
It was an absolutely beautiful wedding day for Nina & Michael! They chose to have their ceremony and reception at The Gardens in Houston, and it was an elegant, black tie affair.
Rebecca and Cole had probably the most relaxed and peaceful wedding day that we have ever been a part of! They really wanted to ensure that we were able to capture some impeccable images of them before their ceremony, and although the rain washed out our plans to head to the beach, we were able to get some absolutely stunning images of this gorgeous couple before their ceremony.
Jessica and Brandon didn’t let COVID or the pandemic stifle their love! Since the wedding industry took a big hit and venues were closed, this beautiful and sweet couple decided to change their plans and move forward with a backyard wedding at their home in Sugarland, TX.
If you have not been to the Oak Atelier, it’s a space that you don’t want to ignore. Tucked into a wooded property, this venue offers its iconic glass greenhouse that allows the most whimsical and beautiful natural light as well as multiple indoor spaces to allow a ton of variety if you reserve the entire space! We took full advantage of the Oak Atelier, and were able to create some magic for this special couple’s portraits. Check ‘em out!
Kendall and Tam had the most beautiful wedding day, and such a sweet love for one another!
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!
No pandemic can stop this love!
Lorena and Ronald’s original June wedding date had to be rescheduled to September due to COVID-19, so once they finally were able to celebrate their love with friends and family, nothing could keep the smiles off of the faces of these two!
Galveston Pleasure Pier Family Session
We love watching the Love family grow! (How appropriate, am I right? ;) )
Congratulations, Jessica, for graduating from University of Houston!
We met Jessica back in 2018 at the Cortez wedding. Jessica is Jorge’s sister, and was a beautiful bridesmaid at the time, and now is a gorgeous graduate!
Everyone was full of smiles during this gorgeous family session!
We were so blessed to be able to squeeze this mini session in that day- as you can see from the clouds, a storm was brewing right behind us, but they made for a STUNNING backdrop to all of their pictures! :D
From engagements, to bridals, to their special wedding day, everything was always vibrant, fun, and unique to them! And let me assure you, this was not your typical backyard wedding… This, instead, was a hand crafted, uniquely designed, and sentimental affair.
Everyone loves a good family session around Christmastime, including us! The Garcia family was gorgeous and so easy to work with- even with 5 kiddos!
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!
