It’s gorgeous and has lots of light, flowing layers, and this cool Celtic knot that Clare designed herself.img_8174blog.jpgimg_8177blog.jpgimg_8513blog.jpgimg_8485blog.jpgIt’s always exciting to shoot at a new location, so as soon as I walked up to the Crystal Ballroom in downtown Houston, I knew it would be the perfect setting for Clare’s bridal shoot. The Crystal Ballroom was built in 1913 and has gorgeous architectural features and a terrace overlooking downtown Houston.  I’m thrilled to be shooting Clare and Joe’s wedding at the ballroom next month.  See you soon, Clare!!

We had the privilege of shooting Nathalie and Warren’s wedding last year, and they’ve always been one of our favorite couples. So when Nathalie told me that they were expecting, I was thrilled! It’s awesome to share these joyous moments and to be able to document such special times in people’s lives. Nathalie and Warren are some of the most genuine, kind people you’ll ever meet. Sebastian is one lucky little boy to have such amazing parents! Their home is just bursting with love and joy with this little guy around.  Congratulations!

It was a perfect December day at Mayfield Park, where Laura and Donovan tied the knot under sunny skies. Mayfield Park is such a gorgeous setting! Palm trees, big oak trees, rock fountains and lots of peacocks make for such a unique backdrop for an intimate wedding.

Laura and Donovan are such a great couple and it’s plain to see just how happy they make each other. Congrats you two!!
