What a great session.  I got to see some parts of the Houston area I had not seen before - OK, maybe saying “Houston area” is a stretch, but it sure was a great day.  After some heavy storms the two days prior to this session, the day was absolutely gorgeous for a long drive and a fantastic engagement session with a great couple.

Gita had suggested shooting at the Vaner-Hogg Plantation in West Columbia and then continuing on to the beach.  It sounded like a great place so we planned it all out.  In between these two locations, we stopped in the town of Angleton for some alleyways - my favorite type of location.

So, here are some photos…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Gita, Sheilen, see you in a few weeks at your wedding - and let’s make sure there are no fire ants around!

I recently had the opportunity to photograph Sheetal and Hamenth’s engagement party in Beuamont, TX.  They will be getting married in late May in Detroit but had a party here for all the friends and family to enjoy their union.

I will let the images tell the story.  Oh, you may also notice that I am abandoning the border on the images for the blog.  This gives me a bit larger images to post!

It all took place at the Holiday Inn in Beaumont - with the cocktail hour in the atrium with magnificent flags hanging overhead.

 The event was decorated by Decor to Remember - who always do a terrific job.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 After the ceremony, the program started.

 

Entertainment was provided by the incredible Michael Blanco and Jessica Cubeli of The Rhythm of Magic.   Michael and Jessica are national competitive ballroom dancers and combined the beauty of their dancing with some great magic for everyone’s enjoyment.

 

 

 There were several dances by friends and family.

 Sheetal and Hemanth enjoyed their first dance of the evening and were proptly joined by their guests for a night of dancing.

 

 

 

 

 Thank you Sheetal and Hamenth for the opportunity to work with you.  I wish you two the very best.

Wow…what a session!  Lara and Elie wanted something a bit different…a bit more fun…a bit more casual.  So, we headed out, found some great light, some vibrant colors, and got this.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Guys…I can’t wait for your wedding!  You two were a blast and I know your big day will be out of this world!

I had the pleasure of photographing Jennifer and Brian in different areas thoughout Downtown recently.  These are their engagement portraits and they will be using at least one for a “save the date” card.

These two were a lot of fun.  Brian is very outgoing - which I think he definitely proved to me when he told me the story of how they met.

So, here are some pictures for you to enjoy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I am SO looking forward to your wedding!  I am so convinced that it will be a blast!
