Joel and I had a blast photographing Lauren and John’s wedding today. Here are a few photos to hold you over until the rest are done!

Sara and Ashkan are such a great couple and were great sports about being photographed in the rain. We had a wonderful time and got some awesome Engagement Portraits at Hermann Park and near Downtown Houston! Be sure to read the Q&A below to learn more about them! It rained just long enough to get these shots! I love the hearts!

I’ve recently added Engagement Guestbooks to my product list. I love them because 1. It’s a great conversation starter for your guests at your wedding, 2. it’s a wonderful way to showcase your engagement session and your guests signatures and 3. you have the album as a keep sake for years to come and you can display it along side your wedding album. Here is one engagement album I printed. I use Lilia and Justin’s engagement session. Here is one cover option and a few of the pages to showcase the different page designs I used. Leave me a comment and let me know what you think! A few pages are covered completely with an image. I wouldn’t sign on these pages. Other pages have white space for guests to sign on. Some pages have a sheer background for guests to sign on.

Joel and I had an amazing time photographing Sara and Ashkan’s engagement session in Hermann Park in Houston, TX yesterday. We got some amazing photos even in the rain. Enjoy!

When Lilia and Justin had the idea to go to Minute Maid Park and get some portraits in front of the Houston skyline we were super excited. I have to say I am not much of a baseball fan but I got a HUGE kick out of walking around Minute Maid Park with no one else there. My favorite places to shoot at the park  the dug outs and home plate. Be sure to checkout what they put up on the scoreboard, it’s so cute! Lilia and Justin loved it because they love baseball and the Astros. Being able to walk where they play was awesome. The second part of the shoot was downtown on a rooftop. I have been living here in Houston all of my life and I have NEVER seen a better view of the Houston skyline. This was an amazing experience and we got some amazing portraits. Which ones are your favorite? Leave a comment and let me know!!

We had an amazing time shooting with Lilia and Justin at Minute Maid Park and downtown Houston! They had the most wonderful location ideas for their engagement session and the pictures are unbelievable!  Here is a sneak peek, we can’t wait to share the rest soon!

This last week Joel and I visited my sister, brother in law and two nephews in Dallas to celebrate Max’s 2nd and Gabe’s 1st birthdays. They are growing up SO fast! They in the “babbling” phase and will repeat a little of what you say. Max can sometimes put a few words together and Gabe mostly makes funny baby noises. We could only stay one day but they are so cute that I had to take some pictures before we left. It was really great seeing everyone and I can’t wait to see them again soon! Here’s Max! And Gabe! Bed head. Sitting in the toy box like he owns the place. They are TOO cute! I just can’t get enough! “Scrunchy face!” Lady killer face! I couldn’t resist the eyelashes shot. GOOOOOOOAAALLLLL!!!! Take one bite, put it on the table, take one bite, put it on the table… Joel’s brother Ira was in town for Guard drill and dropped by to say “Hi”. Piano lessons. Bed time, good night.

Cullen Sculpture Garden at the Museum of Fine Arts Houston is another place I love to shoot bridal portraits. I really like the simple and modern look of the art in the sculpture garden. This portrait includes part of the sculpture “Houston Triptych” by Ellsworth Kelly. There is a beautiful simplicity to this photo which makes it one of my favorites. There are several elements of design that I really like about this photo including shape, pattern, and texture. To have a central subject composition that is visually interesting requires good use of symmetry and balance. In this case everything in the frame is vertically symmetrical except the sculpture piece and the placement of Kimberly’s arms and head. The sculpture lends a lot of weight to the left side of the frame but is not distracting because it is featureless. Her bent arm mimics the triangular shape of the sculpture and helps to visually connect her to the artwork. The rounded part of the sculpture and the round train of the dress similarly help connect her to the sculpture. There is a lot of different textures in the portrait and I love how the hard and angular metal and stone of the sculpture garden contrasts with the soft gentle quality of Kimberly’s back and dress. I also love the tonal contrast in this photo. It reminds me of when I shot with  Ilford HP5 plus 400 high contrast black and white film in my college darkroom class. The strong contrasts of both shades and textures creates some tension in the piece but I think the mood is really nicely controlled by Kimberly’s confident and elegant stance. We have so much fun shooting bridal portraits! When else do you get to walk around the city in a bridal gown looking like a princess? Tell me what you think in the comments below.

Joel and I photographed Shelly and Zach’s Engagement Session this past weekend. I hope you enjoy this sneak peek and I can’t wait to show you the rest of the photos!!

My mom has made jewelry for years now and has recently started to make wedding jewelry. I’m super excited to share some of her most recent work that I had the opportunity to photograph! Enjoy! The necklace below can be worn with the ear rings photographed with it or the ones to the right.

Here is Anna and James’ full engagement session. Again, it was so much fun capturing their wonderful personalities and their love. They really know how to make each other laugh and that did awesome in front of the camera! I can’t wait for their wedding day!! I hope you enjoy the photos.

Joel and I took a trip with Heather and EJ to Huntsville State Park a few weeks ago. We wanted to go camping with them since we photographed their engagement session and wedding. I love going to Huntsville because one of my favorite things to do is canoe and they rent them there during the summer months. Heather and EJ rented a canoe for the day and Joel and I rented one over night. Canoeing is always so peaceful and my favorite part about it at this park is being able to canoe through the Lilly Pads. They were huge, some being the size of car tires. I really want to take a photo of a frog sitting on a Lilly pad, like in a cartoon. That would be so cute! While making our way through the Lilly pads there were these tiny bugs that would glide along the surface of the water like they were on glass. Also, plenty of colorful butterflies and lots of bright iridescent blue and green dragonflies which were so magical. The dragonflies would land right next to you and just look at you before darting away. The weather was nice but after canoeing for a few hours we were pretty hot and to cool off we took a dip in the lake. They have a designated area you can swim in and there are to many people there to get eaten by alligators (hopefully). While swimming we saw rain clouds in the distance so we left the swimming area and we got back to camp just in time to cover our tents and fire wood before the rain. I didn’t mind the rain for 2 reasons: it didn’t last long and it kept us nice and cool. Since Joel and I got our canoe over night we just had to take it out on the water after dark. The moon was out so we could see just enough to get around. It was such a beautiful cool night (because of the rain earlier that day) with the moon and all the stars out on the peaceful lake. Until… we noticed the pair of bright orange eyes protruding just above the water in the path to get back to our campsite! As we got closer the orange eyes quietly swam away. We got out of the canoe as fast as possible and got a safe [...]

1. I’m a little afraid of the dark, especially when I’m alone. 2. I get cold easily. 68°F is sweater weather. 3. I love to listen to loud music and sing in my car. 4. I drive fast. Especially when listening to loud music. 5. I like maraschino cherries WAY more than I should. Way, way more than I should. 6. I like to go camping but I don’t like bugs. That is when Off is my best friend. 7. I have a strange fascination with twins. I don’t know if I would want to have twins though. My sister has two (non twin) boys and that is hard enough. 8. I think it would be awesome to meet conjoined twins someday. 9. I talk to the TV sometimes and yell at the TV sometimes. “NO DON’T GO DOWN THAT HALLWAY, THE ZOMBIES ARE THERE!” 10. I eat weird gluten free snacks with Joel, like toasted corn tortillas and peanut butter. It might not sound good but it is. 11. I didn’t get a Pinterest account until a few weeks ago and now I’m addicted. It’s the best site EVER!

Rice University is a great place to take Bridal Portraits because the architecture on the campus is very classical and elegant which makes me think of grand European castles. That makes it one of my favorite places to shoot. The columns in this hall at Rice University create great leading lines. The right side columns here lead your eye right to Cassandra’s face. The texture and repeating pattern of the brickwork and columns lend a lot of interest to the background. I also love the contrast of textures between the hard angled bricks and Cassandra’s soft flowing dress. The long receding hallway gives depth and perspective to the otherwise two dimensional medium. I placed Cassandra in front of the dark section of the closest pillar because I knew the light would softly illuminate her dress and face making her stand out from the background. Look at the light on Cassandra’s face. The far side of her face is illuminated and the close side is in shadow. In photography this is called “short lighting” it is very flattering and slimming which makes it one of my favorite lighting techniques to use on women. I loved the light in this hallway on the day of he session because it was overcast making everything evenly lit. The recessed hallway with one side open created the perfect conditions for the kind of soft directional light that is so flattering for bridal portraits. The overall light is a nice balance between the lit sides of the hall and the darker ceiling and floor. I try to be very deliberate with my bridal portraits, so I placed the dress very perfectly for that polished look. The white bouquet serves two purposes. One, to compliment her dress where a dark bouquet would have been to distracting from her face. Two, to have something for Cassandra to do with her hands. This is one of my favorite portraits and I can’t wait to create more beautiful art for you. What do you like about this bridal portrait?

Joel and I had a wonderful time taking photographs Anna and James yesterday. I love each of their personalities because they are sweet, fun and very energetic! View their full engagement session here!

The jet engines were roaring and the body scanners were humming at Houston’s busy Bush Intercontinental airport as we embarked on our trip to Philadelphia, PA. This was the first time Joel and I had flown together (only road trips before) and we could hardly wait to see what the city of brotherly love had in store for us. As for why we were going to Philly, see the post about my brother Chris and Michelle’s engagement session. (Congratulations again Chris and Michelle!) The flight up there was smooth and uneventful, unlike the ride back but I will get to that later. When we arrived it was warm and sunny which over the next few days turned to rainy and gloomy and then finally cool and refreshing. June in Houston is often the first two but never the last one, so it was a nice change of pace. We arrived a day before the rest of my family so that first day there we got to go exploring! It was my first time on a train and a subway. Suburban Station under downtown Philly was huge, it was four or five stories of underground train platforms, gift shops and restaurants. We got the chance to take a tour of Independence Hall and when we walked in I felt like I was taking a trip back in time. It was really cool to be in the room that the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence were signed. We were there with a bunch of 4th graders but they seemed to enjoy it and we all learned a lot. They were pretty smart kids. We wanted to see the Liberty Bell until we saw the long line of people. We didn’t feel like standing in line for an hour so we just looked at the bell through the window. Next time we go we will get there nice and early so we can see it and skip the lines. This is one of the first Supreme Court buildings that is located next to Independence Hall. While in Philly I HAD to have a authentic Philly cheese steak sandwich. Michelle was nice enough to drive through downtown Philadelphia on the way to the airport. She showed us around a bit more and we stopped at a street cart to get a Cheese Steak. The best ones come from the street carts because they [...]

Angela and Lubin are such a sweet, loving and fun couple and I was very grateful to be part of their wedding day. They put a lot of thought into their wedding jewelry. Their wedding rings were three intertwined bands that rolled around each other, the three bands representing the holy trinity. Lubin’s cufflinks were Angela’s grandfather’s and I thought that was an awesome personal touch. They had their wedding at The Tremont House in Galveston, TX. They had the ceremony on the roof. Angela said that her grandmother was the first one to get married on the Tremont rooftop and that because the Tremont house was changing their policy that her and Lubin would probably be the last couple to get married up there. I love how their ceremony was small and intimate with just their close family and friends. Enjoy the photos!

My older brother Chris recently got engaged to his girlfriend  Michelle. Her family threw an engagement party so Joel and I flew up to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to celebrate with them. We had never been there before and we were excited to see the historical part of the city, go on trains/subways and eat authentic Philly Cheese Steaks (Joel can’t eat wheat, so he wasn’t able to have one.) When we arrived in Philadelphia Michelle drove by the Ben Franklin Bridge and I knew I wanted to shoot portraits there at night because I loved how the bridge was lit up. While in town Michelle gave us a tour and we took a few portraits of her and Chris. I love the skylines of different cities and I had to get a portrait of them in front of the Philadelphia skyline. That night we got together and went to the Ben Franklin Bridge to do an engagement session.The night air was much chiller then in Houston. The low for the night was 58 degrees which was a very nice change from sweltering Houston. After going to the Ben Franklin Bridge we stopped by Penn Treaty Park to shoot more portraits. I was really happy to be able to capture these memories for my brother and Michelle. I hope you enjoy their engagement portraits.  

I know you want emotional photos of you and your fiance when you first see each other on your wedding day. I love capturing those moments! Take a few minutes and watch my video to find out how to get better emotional portraits of you and your groom together!

In this video I show you how to light paint, the equipment and settings I use and give a couple of demonstrations. I show you how I made these photos: Try it out and tell me what you think!

Haley Hughes and her team from En Vogue Events invited me to attend this event. They did a wonderful job on putting everything together. I got to meet a lot of wonderful people and had a blast working with Haley, Stacey, April, Alexis and Trinette from En Vogue Events. I hope you enjoy the photos!

I’m really excited to announce that I made a YouTube channel! Here are my 3 reasons why… 1. I’m a very visual learner and sometimes find it easier to learn by watching then to learn by reading. 2. I feel that education is very important and I want to educate as many people as I can. 3. Photographers I learn from give back to the industry and I would not be where I am today without them. I want to give you solid information and would love to answer any questions that you have.

I saw this on Youtube and it’s awesome and thought I would share.

I saw this video because one of my friends shared it on Facebook. It reminded me to live my life to the fullest, to take risks and to enjoy every day I have. When I’m at the end of my life I want to know I did everything I could to make it count. What are you going to do to make it count? I LOVE the video even though it doesn’t have a very good preview photo.

Joel and I went to the music festival portion of South by Southwest aka SXSW or simply “South by” (sxsw.com) in Austin, TX and we had an awesome time! We visited my cousins who showed me around town and got us into VIP areas. Shout out to Keegan and Quinn! During SX the whole city is a big party and downtown is especially crazy. I don’t remember everywhere we went but a few of the venues were: Mohawk (912 Red River Street, Austin, TX, mohawkaustin.com) Chuggin’ Monkey (219 East 6th Street, Austin, TX, thechugginmonkey.com) where we saw Culture Cry Wolf and friends (www.culturecrywolf.com) from Minneapolis who sounded great and really knew how to work the crowd. Also a few other random bars and clubs in downtown that I can’t remember the names of. It was crazy but a lot of fun and I can’t wait until next year! The Aftermath!

Why have we not visited the zoo in so long? I think the last time was in elementary school and I forgot how awesome it is!  This week we visited the Houston Zoo and were able to see so many exotic or endangered animals. It is so sad that many of these animals are threatened in the wild and soon might not be found in the wild at all. It made me a little better that they educate people about all the different animals. Who else wants to rent some 800mm lenses, get some plane tickets and see them in their natural habitats while we still can? Anyway, on to the pictures! Let me know your favorite one.

I’m excited to share my new wedding album with you! This is a 12×12 black 100% leather book that has your full wedding story. KISS is the company I used to print it and they were wonderful! They kept me updated every step of the process and the book turned out beautifully. I’m currently working on an album from their engagement session as well.

When I walked into the Chateau Cocomar I felt like I was transported to a castle in France. Its just simply amazing! We went to their first open house and were able to see the facility and meet a lot of vendors that were there. The Chateau Cocomar is still under renovation (to be open in August 2012 in Houston, TX) so we only took a few shots of the facility. There were some beautiful arrangements of flowers and furniture and samples of deserts. Also there was a quick bridal fashion show and dresses on display. The tables and chairs setups were by Elegant Beginnings. The floral arrangements on the tables were by Special Arrangements floral design by Lori Holley. Every one of thees chocolates I tried were absolutely delicious! They were by araya artisan chocolate. The bridal gowns were from Misora Bridal Boutique. I loved the texture of the skirt on the dress! The furniture at the fashion show was by RE Event Solutions. The floral arrangements at the RE Event Solutions booth and the bouquets used in the fashion show were by Keisha’s Kreations Fine Floral and Event Decor. We had a wonderful time seeing the facility and all the vendors. Can’t wait to do some more shooting!

We attended an open house at Chateau Polonez in Houston, TX and it was really breathtaking! We got to see what the venue looks like set up for a wedding with tables, candles and floral arrangements. There was even a live band, David Caceres who was awesome! We met the owner Anya and some of the ladies that work there, Kasia and Basia who were all super sweet and welcoming. Anya made all the wonderful flower arrangements herself. We tested the lighting after dark and got some beautiful photos with and without flash so when we shoot a wedding here we already have some great lighting ideas. It was raining all evening so we only took a few pictures of the exterior. We really enjoyed visiting and can’t wait to visit again!

On the travel channel we saw a restaurant from Connecticut that steams their cheeseburgers. It looked really good so we decided take a stab at it. We thought it turned out pretty well so we’d like to share it with you. Ingredients: Ground beef or turkey – We used 93/7 ground turkey. Cheese – We used sharp cheddar. Buns – Ashley used plain buns and Joel used gluten free bread. Greens – We used Romaine lettuce and Roma tomatoes. (Romaine and Roma, it’s cute I just noticed that.) Olive oil – This assures nothing sticks to the pan. Condiments – Ours is spicy mustard and ketchup. (Insert nice buns joke here.) Gluten free bread. That’s one big olive! Now lets get started! Slice everything up. This is only about a tablespoon of oil to make sure nothing sticks or burns. We might try steaming them in trays next time. Looks kind of gross. This is when you can add your secret seasonings but we wanted to keep it simple on our first try. Make patties slightly larger than the bun because they shrink when they cook. We used about 5oz. (uncooked) each patty so a 20oz. package made 4 burgers. Put on medium heat and cover so the steam cooks them. We like glass tops so we can see what’s happening. After a few minutes it is looking pretty steamed.  Do not squish them down because it will squeeze out all the delicious juices and taste dry. We flipped them to brown slightly on both sides, probably not required. They were thoroughly cooked after only a few minutes. We toasted the bread and buns. Mmmm, cheesy. All done! Now for the best part… eating. They were super juicy and delicious! We just put a little mustard and ketchup on the side but great side dishes would be potatoes or steamed veggies. If you try this recipe let us know how you liked it!!

This is a wedding I second shot and I’m so glad I did because it was fantastic! I got the opportunity to work with Valerie from Belle at the Ball again and I was so excited because she is just a pleasure to work with! Before the ceremony we went to Discovery Green because Laura and Darrylle decided to do a first look. They were so happy to see each other they both started to cry which I thought was sweet and made amazing photos! After the first look we walked around the park and got some wonderful portraits of them and did their family formals. The ceremony was held at Annunciation Catholic Church in Houston, TX. This church is a Gothic European style church and it is absolutely breathtaking when you walk inside!! The reception was at the Parador and everything Laura and Valerie put together was beautiful! I just loved the ambiance of the facility.

Canvas Gallery Wraps are a modern and beautiful way to display your photographs in your home. Each Gallery wrap comes with a UV coating to prevent fading and they are ready to hang. Here is an example of one that I have. I would love to show you this art piece in person! The photo wrap around the edges and it’s 1.5 inches deep.

Joel and I went to Imaging USA, the huge national photography convention. In short Imaging was a totally insane whirlwind of education and products. It didn’t help that I had a cold the entire time but with the help of dayquil, coffee, adrenalin and determination I had a wonderful time. Most of each day consisted of classes taught by some of the best photographers from around the world. Four hour-and-a-half classes everyday, can anyone say “information overload”? I learned so much amazing information, I hardly know where to start. We only have photos from the Expo because photography and video were prohibited during the classes. The expo had every photography product and service you could imagine. Everywhere you looked there was information on products and classes going on at several booths at once. It was a great experience and I can’t wait until next year when it’s in Atlanta, GA because I love peaches. I was ecstatic when I got to meet Jerry Ghionis! He’s famous to us wedding photographers because he is AWESOME!! We took a class from him and loved every minute of it!! This little girl was the cutest thing EVER!! Here’s one for us Canon shooters! Seeing these guys reminded me of one of my favorite state parks in Texas, Brazos Bend.

2011 was a great year that went by quickly. It was filled with ups, downs, nerves and beautiful love stories. I had a wonderful year and I would not change anything about it. I love being a wedding photographer because it allows me to live my dreams, have hope and and allows me to challenge myself to try new things. I have the best clients ever and without their support I would be nothing. Thank you for believing in my ability to capture the most important day of your life! Here are some of my favorite wedding photographs from 2011. Leave a comment and tell me which is your favorite. Enjoy!                         

I’m really excited and I’m counting down the days to Jan. 14, 2012. That is the day Joel, our friend Angelica and I get together for our road trip to New Orleans, LA for Imaging USA.  At this point you are probably wondering what I’m talking about. Imaging USA is huge national photographic convention, expo and exhibition. It’s a great place to network with photography vendors and other photographers. The thing I’m most excited about is being able to continue my education. Photographer come from all over the world to share their experiences. They offer so many classes its overwhelming! I want to focus on classes that teach about business and photo technique, and by the end of imaging I want to be on information overload! I can’t wait!  

The second day we hiked the west side of the park which is the total opposite of the busy East side. Mystic canyon is total solitude with long stretches of silence broken only by the occasional bird chirping or bee buzzing in the distance. Which was relaxing but somewhat eerie. Take a look at our first day at Lost Maples. We took the opportunity to take a few pictures of each other. It had rained just enough that morning to have intricate patterns of raindrops on the leaves and spider webs, I couldn’t resist taking a few pictures! These ponds were absolutely gorgeous! Like a Monet watercolor right in front of my eyes! The whole park was simply wonderful! I can’t wait to visit again and explore more of the park and see what other photo opportunities I can find.

Walking through Lost Maples State Natural Area is like walking thought a beautiful watercolor. It claims to be the only place in Texas with a large population of Maple trees. For someone like me that is used to the mild winters of Houston, fall and winter seem like the lost seasons and I find the drastic change just amazing. In the 2 days we were there we hiked almost all the trails in the entire park. The variety is astounding with each section different flora, different scenery and different moods. The Maple Trail on the East side of the park is probably the most popular trail with many people walking their dogs and taking photos of the fall colors. On every trail I felt like a kid in a candy store. It was breathtaking everywhere I looked and a photograph could be made around every turn. After hours of hiking our first day the sun was getting low and we were tired and hungry and ready to get back to the campsite to get some rest and hot grub. We were so tired of trail mix and granola bars that we immediately fired up the trusty little camp stove and prepared the old staple of beans and rice for dinner. Due to a drought and subsequent burn ban we had to forgo the campfire so we crawled into the tent and due to exhaustion immediately crashed out. I woke up to the sound of people talking and kids playing. I rolled over and asked Joel if he was awake and if he would like to go take photos of the stars. I didn’t have any timekeeping devices on but knew it had to be before 10 pm because that’s when quiet time starts. I kissed Joel on the cheek to help him get up, grabbed our camera equipment and headed towards the trails to photograph the stars. It was really dark and pretty chilly. At least I thought it was chilly, I’m not a big fan of the cold. Joel and I held hands as we walked down the trail in the moonless darkness. We were not using flashlights because our eyes were adjusted and we could just barely see by starlight. We set up a tripod, remote and camera and got some amazing star photos. Joel jokingly said that next time we needed to bring a fisheye lens for [...]

See their Engagement Session portraits here.

I can’t tell you how much fun we had on this engagement session! Heather and EJ were totally adorable during the entire shoot and were naturals in front of the camera! They had the idea of shooting at Kemah Boardwalk and the beach in Galveston, TX. They chose those two locations because their second date was at Kemah Boardwalk (read about their first date in the survey below) and they are self described beach bums. Both these locations were perfect to show off who they really are. After the session I sent them a survey to find out more about each of them and their relationship. You can read the survey and view the slideshow at the bottom of the post.  Or view the Engagement slide show in its own window here. Leave a comment to tell me what you think. Thanks! Their wedding was on 11/11/11; take a look at their sneak peek here.   Here is a little more about Heather and EJ. Where did you meet? We met through Match.com. EJ “winked” at me through the website, and I “winked” back. From there, we exchanged emails and talked on the phone and webcam for about a month before we finally met in person. What was your first impression of him? I have two first impressions on EJ: the first was his profile on Match and the second was the first time I met him in person. One of the main things I remember from his profile was a picture he’d taken of himself using his webcam on his laptop. He had a goofy grin on his face, and he put a border around it. The border was pink and it made the shape of a heart around his face. I thought to myself, “This guy definitely doesn’t take himself seriously,” which made me laugh. The first time I met EJ in person, he looked like he was going golfing, but we were going to the movies. I appreciated that he put the effort into looking nice for our date though. He also shaved his face right before our date and managed to cut himself pretty badly on his cheek. So, he had a huge band-aid too. Luckily, he wore a t-shirt, shorts, and Converse shoes on our second date, and I was sold. What was your first impression of her? When I walked up to meet her [...]

I love living in Houston, TX because there is a lot to do here. We have some of the best entertainment from great restaurants that serve almost every kind of food to great venues with cool local music.  I also believe we have some of the best museums in thousands of miles. (Some would say that I’m being bias.) Now I know the Smithsonian will top just about everything else but Google says that is about 1,400 miles away.One of my favorite museums that we have here in Houston is The Houston Museum of Natural Science. I’ve been going there since I was in elementary school and I never get sick of it. Angela and Lubin had the idea of going to the Butterfly Center at the Museum of Natural Science which I thought was an awesome idea! It was nice to go back to this exhibit because I haven’t been there in forever. We got to see some beautiful butterflies and got some awesome portraits for them. After that we went across the street to the amphitheater in Hermann Park and got photos of them dancing on the stage.   I hope you enjoy! Check out Angela’s Bridal Portrait Session here!
