Vanessa and Javier had a beautiful wedding at Hotel Zaza this past March. Because the sun set earlier back then I was able to convince them to do a "First Look" before the wedding. It was great because we were still able to use the beautiful natural light for their personal couples portraits and it made for less photos to do after the ceremony. I highly recommend doing the first look, especially in time crunch situations!

Anyway, back to the wedding...Hotel Zaza is one of my favorite wedding locations in Houston and their event was just perfect! Rebekah Graves from Dream Bouquet provided the florals, Cheri Wexler from Something Planned coordinated the event. Be sure to check out the slideshow at the end to see more!

I photographed this bridal portrait back in March at Hotel Zaza. Vanassa and Javier had their wedding there a few weeks after we photographed this session...I'll try to post the wedding images soon. It was one big party and a ton of fun! She actually made a few large 24x36 Gallery Mounts from this session to show at the reception. I overheard a few guest at the hotel walk by and ask if she was a model! Lol, she's gorgeous...I would have thought so too!

Here are a few images from Cicely's bridal session at Hotel Derek last month. Hotel Derek is one of the more modern locations in Houston to do your bridals. I love doing portrait sessions outside but at certain times of the year in Houston it's just way to hot to do so. I love these two images.

I'm always up for doing something a little different with my photo shoots. While emailing back and forth with Tishanda, I realized that she wanted to do something more urban and contemporary for her bridal session. So we decided to shoot it in the wearhouse district in downtown Houston. Here are a few frames from her shoot.
