I had the pleasure of photographing Jennifer’s bridal session a while ago and now that her wedding has taken place I can share them.

Jennifer is a friend of Amanda’s (bride from September ‘06) and Marissa’s (bride from September ‘07) which gave me an opportunity for my “yearly visit” with Amanda and her wonderful husband John!  It’s becoming a yearly reunion of sorts!

Anyway, Jennifer was simply amazing.  She wanted to get some photos at the church where the ceremony was going to (did) take place.  The church is the beautiful First Methodist Church in downtown Houston - a historic church dating back to 1910 (hey, that’s historic around here!)   We were able to get some beautiful photos without the rush of the wedding day.

We then headed to shoot at The State Bar & Lounge - a location Jennifer had selected for it’s “vintage” feel.   Of course, we failed to realize that on a Sunday it would be closed!  With some very good luck and the amazing help of the fantastic staff at Sambuca Jazz Cafe we were able to use one of the best locations in Houston:    The Crystal Ballroom at the Rice Lofts!  I have photographed weddings there in the past, but being able to spend an hour or so there just photographing a lovely bride was quite a treat.

 Next up will be images from her wedding.   Check back in a couple of days for those.
