Here are a few photos from last week's Halloween in the Heights party! The girls from Invitation Solutions just moved around the corner from my studio and decided to throw a sweet costume party for all the wedding vendors in the area.

Here is another wedding that I photographed back in March. Shel came by the studio yesterday to pick up her gorgeous 12x12 Leather Flush-Mount Album and I got so excited I started working on this post. Neal and Shel got married at Union Station in Minute Maid Park! I had never been to a wedding there before and it was really cool seeing it decorated for a wedding.

I love the classic look and feel of this wedding so I chose to incorporate a few more grainy B&W tones into the processing of these photos. I love it! Shel also put together a great team of vendors for her wedding: Darryl & Co. provided the florals and decorations, Maureen's Bakery created their cake and Eclipse Band played amazing tunes through the night. My friend Collins Metu assisted me on this wedding. As usual, if you want to see more be sure to check out the slideshow at the end!

Emily and Will's wedding from this past March has gotten a lot of press! It was featured on the Southern Weddings Blog back in May and was just featured again on the Wedding Paper Divas blog last month. Southern Weddings will actually be launching a new site in a few days so be on the look out for that. Both sites are amazing wedding inspiration sources for brides. Go check them out!

They all just love your gorgeous photos, Akil! Thank you again for capturing Will & I's amazing day!

I've been looking forward to photographing this wedding all year! I met Erica and Evan through my friend and photographer Julie Wilhite. Julie is Eric's sister and she helped a lot in the planning since Erica and Evan live in New York. Julie is an awesome photographer herself so I will admit that I was a little nervous to photograph her sister's wedding! Erica and Evan were so easygoing and fun to work with though that it made my job effortless. I'll actually be photographing her other sister Cynthia's wedding in January too! Sadly she is the last sibling, haha!
This was an outdoor wedding and we got extremely lucky with the gorgeous October weather. They got ready at Hotel Derek and then headed over to The Gardens of Bammel Lane for the Ceremony and Reception. It was my first time working at this venue and I love it. It really is a hidden gem here in Houston. I was also able to work with Jessica from Green Lilly Events for the first time and they made sure the day was perfect. Ruggle's Green provided the catering and Cakes by Gina created their wedding cake.
My friend Rebecca-Linh assisted me at this wedding. Thank you Erica and Evan for having me! Now on to the fun part!

Beautiful series! My favorite is the groom dressing and the focus on the face. Very cool perspective!

Whitney chose to do her bridal portraits at Pine Forest Country Club where she'll be having her wedding. Her fiancé is a huge Dallas Cowboys fan so we found a way to incorporate that into the shoot for him as a surprise. Ugh, the Cowboys. They had just beat the Texans a few days prior too but I sucked it up and shot this session anyway. Haha, just kidding...on to the photos!
