I must sound like a broken record at this point but, I can not say it enough times how lucky I am to have the clients that I have. Claire and Greg are no different. Well I have to take that back, they are awesome! The definition of a busy couple; I met Claire and her mom way back in August of last year, then Greg a couple of months later...and didn't see them again until the rehearsal and dinner! We never had the opportunity to get those engagement shots done (which we re still going to do, right guys?), and rolled right into an amazing wedding day at Chateau Polonez.

We here in Houston know exactly how the weather has been over the last few weeks and were expecting more of the same on this past Saturday. The sun, however, decided to grace us with her presence for most of the day...the floodgates opened just after the ceremony!

When you have been doing the job that I am blessed with doing for a while, it is rare to see something all-together new on a wedding day. Claire had something in store for us all, including their guests that surprised many! Just before the ceremony she pulled me aside and told me of 'the happenings' just after the ceremony would finish. When I met Claire, she had short hair but had let it grow long for the wedding. To the surprise of many, her hairdresser was prepared and directly after the ceremony her long locks were chopped once again. A new experience, a change of pace and some great additional photos and video to tell their story!

Claire & Greg; I only hope you know how much of a pleasure it was to spend your day with you, your family and friends. Every one of them were fabulous and made my entire team feel like a part of the family. Thank you for allowing us to capture the memories of your day! I hope you enjoy these few samples as much as I enjoyed being there to capture the moments!

I have to give a HUGE thank you to Lawrence Moody for the amazing video skills and to Collen Vu for being an absolutely rocking 2nd photographer! The day would not have been the same without you all!

A funny story begins my little journey with Daniella & Jonathan….We have all had one of those days when the phone rings…and rings…and rings…and it is nothing but sales and spam calls, right? The very first time Daniella called me was on the evening of one of those days. A number I didn’t know called and a voice on the other end of the line says; ‘Yes, hello, who am I speaking with?’ Now any reasonable person would simply answer the question but after the many calls that day my reply was something like; ‘Well you called me so you should know who your calling.’

I was probably more than a few shades of red after that first conversation and, to be very honest, I told my wife shortly after that I would probably never hear from Daniella again. I felt absolutely horrible! But she called back and soon we had wonderful meeting, discussed their day and they stuck with me! I always say, and truly believe, how lucky I am to do the job that I do and witness the sharing of so much love on a regular basis; I know in this instance that increases ten-fold!

High school sweethearts, Dani & Jonathan met in their freshman year and here they are today. Quite honestly one of the sweetest and caring couples I have ever met, I can’t even elate how honored I am to have been the one to capture their memories.

Everything began at Brush & Blush Blow Dry Bar where the ladies were all pampered wonderfully. This place is awesome. The staff were all friendly and the manager, Greer, was one awesome person as well! They did a perfect job on Daniella and all of the ladies there.

From there we were off to the Hotel Granduca (How can one go wrong there) and then to one of my favorite wedding spots to work at, Ousie’s Table. I have said it before, I truly love this place. The restaurant/venue is beautiful. The staff, from the service members to management are all wonderful and always ensure the night goes smoothly. Finally, the food…If you haven’t been, you need to go; it is delicious!

Dani & Jonathan - Thank you so much for trusting in me to capture the memories of your day. You make an amazing and beautiful couple and the love you both share is easy to see by anyone who may be looking. The hospitality of your families was amazing as well and every single person I met was a pleasure to spend time with. I can see where you both get it! I wish you both the absolute best for your future together but know, with the faith you both share, nothing will break the two of you…

I hope you enjoy the few samples from the wedding day while we work on the remainder!
