From the moment I first met Jennifer and Brian I knew they were going to be laid back and an absolute blast to work with.  They didn’t disappoint!

Their engagement session was a lot of fun and their wedding continued that trend.  The girls got ready in a very relaxed envrionment listening to music on their iPhone.  The church (St. Anne’s Catholic Church on Westheimer) had a great classic feel and the reception venue (The Houstonian) - well, what can you say about one of the best venues in Houston?

So, with that out of the way, let’s jump right into the images and let them tell the story.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

How’s that for a party?  This was some of the best dancing I’ve ever seen - with everyone having a great time.  So, Jennifer and Brian, I wish you two the very best.

I had the pleasure of helping my good friend Humza Yasin with this wedding a short while ago.  It was one of several (the rest are coming up soon…be on the lookout for them) I was priviledged to work with him on. 

Over the last few years, Humza and I have become very good friends and we try to help each other out whenever possible.  Needless to say, when he asked if I’d help him at this wedding, I jumped at the opportunity.  Boy, was I ever glad.

Chrishna and Vic had an amazing wedding.  They went all out to make sure that their wedding was a memorable one…including beautiful dancers at the reception, acrobats, and an incredible bar, and an elevated platform for DJ Yogi to spin his tunes and keep the crowd moving all night.

So, with no further words, here are some photos.  We’ll start with the Friday event which took place at the Intercontinental Hotel by the Galleria.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On Saturday, the ceremony took place at the Hilton Americas in downtown where it was kicked off with a “hot” baraat!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After the baraat, it was time for the ceremony.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Of course, what better “getaway car” than a Ferrari?

 

 

Then, on to the party everyone was anticipating.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So, Chrishna and Vic - I wish you two the very best.  It was a spectacular wedding!

Heidi and Brandon got married at the beautiful Barcelo La Jolla de Mismaloya resort in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico and I was thrilled to be there to document it.  They have been absolutely wonderful to work with - starting from our very first face-to-face meeting at Stephanie and Derek’s wedding, continuing through the fun engagement session, and their wedding.

So, let me share some of my favorite photographs from their wedding events.  There are a lot as it was really difficult to narrow it down further.  First, let’s start with the beautiful resort.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The festivities kicked off with the rehearsal followed by a “hot” cocktail hour.  While it was warm, there is nothing better than sipping cold drinks under the tropical sun by the beach….until sunset!  Ahhhh…

 

 

 

The next day was the wedding.  Heidi came prepared with the right luggage tags…

 

…and then the girls proceeded to get ready.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And after a toast and finishing up, it was time for the ceremony which was held with the Pacific Ocean serving as the backdrop.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then…well, you guessed it - on to the party.  Let me tell you, this was a GREAT party!  It started off with a cocktail hour with mariachis playing.

 

 

 

 

Then on to the great steak and lobster dinner…which was out of this world.  Oh, yeah, the lobster bisque was pretty darn good too!  But first, a sunset portrait.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

All the dancing was briefly interrupted to cut the cake - which was beautifully decorated with flowers.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Heidi, Brandon, I wish you two the very best of everything.  Thank you - and your family and friends - for having me along on your beautiful wedding in Puerto Vallarta.  You chose a great location for what turned out to be a fun time!

I recently had the pleasure of helping my friend Janet Grey at a wedding.  I say pleasure because the couple was amazing and the reception venue - the Sugar Creek Country Club (http://www.sugarcreekcctexas.com/) - is one of my favorite venues to work at.  Zoe and her staff do such a wonderful job, and it was no different this time.

Anyway, here are some images from the day.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thank you guys…and best wishes!

Here’s another wedding that I had the pleasure of helping my good friend Humza Yasin at a while back.  You may recall some of Malisha and Bhavesh’s engagement photos I had shared last year when Humza came down to Houston to shoot them.  It was a blast - and my first chance to work with him.  As luck would have it, the wedding I had scheduled on their wedding date cancelled so I was able to share on their amazing day.  And AMAZING it was.

The wedding was in San Antonio and it was beautifully decorated by the fine folk at Mandap Creations.  Anyway, here are some of my images.  For the rest, visit Humza’s site where he’s got the “really good stuff” - LOL.

So…enough talking.  Here are the images.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now, on to the reception.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I had a great time working with Malisha, Bhavesh, and their family and friends.  They were an amazing couple who had a wonderful wedding day.  I wish them the very best.

Oh, it was great to see them you guys at Karishma and Samir’s wedding this past week!
