Krystal and Ray's Sunny Outdoor Wedding at Marmion Park

I first met Krystal and Ray about a year ago. We met at a wine bar called 13 Celsius in downtown Houston, drank wine and made big plans to do all of their wedding photos. We even planned out this cute engagement session. They are a sincerely happy couple with whom I thoroughly enjoyed working with.

Their wedding day came before we knew it. Everyone was setting up and getting dressed, family was everywhere in the hotel... and then the rain came. This was to be an outdoor event, so we were all bummed to see the sky open up with rain! Somehow we got lucky and the rain cleared out, and it turned into a perfectly sunny afternoon.  Perfect for a little outdoor wedding.

Below are a few of the highlights from their day. Enjoy!

Michelle & Gilbert Houston Heights Wedding

I know I say this a lot, but I don't know how I get so lucky as to have such down-to-earth clients. I am truly thankful for it. Michelle and Gilbert were no exception. Their wedding was a sparkly affair that took place in a grand ball room! The bride also had henna done on her hands and feet. Great for pictures! 

What was also great about this romantic event is that ended with a soul train! Yes ma'am! These people had some impressive dance moves that I'm proud to of caught (see the last few photos). I feel like these don't happen very often, at least at the weddings I shoot, because it generally takes several very determined and coordinated folks to get it rolling. The best soul train I saw at a wedding ended with someone's grandma log-rolling down the runway with the groom. Good times.

Houston Height Wedding - Maria-Elisa & Chris

This relaxed and intimate wedding took place at the historical Heights Firehouse, which I was super excited about! It has an abundance of natural light, which of course makes my job easier, and is in general, a cool setting. They were a happy, easy family to work with, and the bride (Maria-Elisa) kept me laughing throughout the night. Thanks guys! Call me when you renew those vows!
