Junior League of Houston Bridal Portraits :: Stephanie

wendi — Fri, 10 Jun 2011 15:08:42 +0000

We dedicate today to the lovely Stephanie! Remember when I got to be the photographer-in-disguise to capture her surprise proposal? Stephanie and I had more fun than should be allowed shooting her bridal portraits. There was dancing to music that didn’t exist and jumping fences in a wedding gown. Really! We started at the lovely Junior League of Houston then Stephanie pulled on some killer kicks (a gift from her grandad!) and we headed to the country.

Stephanie rocking out to the music that wasn’t there. You go girl!

This last image is my favorite!

Austin Bridal Portraits :: Heather

Heather is the epitome of a classic beauty and she has this big warm smile that immediately draws you in. It has been such a pleasure getting to know Heather, Rob and their families and I can’t wait to show you their rehearsal dinner and wedding. Before we dive into her bridal portraits you might want to take a peek back at Heather and her sweetie Rob at their engagement session.

I’d like to give a special thank you to Leslie Gandy at Dress Shop and Kenny Hilbig for the awesome locations for our photo session.

Houston Bridal Portraits :: The 1940 Air Terminal Museum

Jessica: A petite bundle of efficiency. Overflowing with sweetness and joy. Stunningly beautiful. For her bridal shoot I wanted something uncluttered and simple, yet elegant. The 1940 Air Terminal Museum in Houston was the perfect complement to Jessica’s dress and her personality.

Can we all agree that Jessica is a natural in front of the camera? Oh my! And last, but surely not least, we are jump-up-and-down honored that Janie at The Bride’s Cafe featured the lovely Jessica.

The photo on the right is my favorite. There’s something about the white space and Jessica’s laugh. Love it!

And a final take in the the Houston Museum district for a bit of outdoors.

Jessica, It was a pleasure!

Cirlce H Lodge Bridal Portraits :: Candis

I’m so excited to finally share Candis’ bridal portraits with you. Remember her and Jason’s fun engagement session? For her bridal session, it was a gorgeous Hill Country day at Circle H Lodge on Inks Lake and Candis was a vision . . . and perfectly Candis! The dress, the flowers, the fun feather in her hair were a perfect reflection of Candis’s fun, easy-going nature.

San Antonio Bridal Portraits :: Katrice

Today we’re featuring the fabulous Katrice. She and Michael were married in early January at The Club at Sonterra in San Antonio. Now that they’ve tied the knot, I can show you Katrice’s bridal session, also done at The Club at Sonterra.

I love fun light. That said I can’t decide which of the next two I like better.

Hill Country Bridals :: Hannah at Circle H Lodge

I am so excited about this portrait session that I’ve been holding off on blogging it until we had this shiny new blog with bigger images. Hannah was a natural in front of the camera and she really had fun playing-up her Texas-chic style. Circle H Lodge at Inks Lake offered the perfect Hill Country backdrop.

I should mention this was a “Mrs.” session done after Hannah’s wedding and I can’t recommend it enough! Everything is so much more relaxed! Most of our brides have their bridals done before the wedding so they can have a canvas gallery wrap or framed print at their reception and I love that great southern tradition, but I’m so excited about the possibilities of a Mrs. session that I’m encouraging all my brides to consider adding it to their package.

To all our 2010 brides, I give you permission to pull on your boots (or whatever suits your fancy), don that fantastically bold jewelry and have a little fun with that dress just like Hannah.

San Antonio Bridal Portraits :: Southwest School of Art and Craft

Ashley is a trooper! Braving 95+ degrees for her bridal portraits is my idea of determination. And she looked fabulous the whole time. Our photo shoot was at the at the beautiful and very welcoming Southwest School of Art and Craft in downtown San Antonio. Ashley and her mom were just as much fun as they were at our first meeting. I knew the wedding would be a blast and it was, but more about that in another post. So, wWithout further ado here are some of my favorites from the day.

Mom fixing Ashley’s veil. Such fun personalities.

I love this black and white. In technical photography jargon — it’s just kinda cool.

Love the glow of the sun in this photo.

This is really my favorite — the blue chairs peeking out and that fabulous smile.

Fun photos from Ashley and Daniel’s wedding coming soon.

Congrats,

Wendi
