Cameron & Bethany’s Winter Houston Oaks Wedding Photography

Christmas day arrived and I was watching the weather for Cameron & Bethany’s wedding that Saturday. The forecast went from 30% chance of rain to 60 % chance of rain within a day. I got the call from Cameron & Bethany’s wedding coordinator, Alissa Faircloth, that they were moving the wedding to a covered pavilion within the property because of the forecast. I was biting my fingernails and praying to any and all gods (God, Gaia, Mother Earth, The wedding gods) for a dry wedding day. Finally, on the Friday before their wedding the forecast changed to a 20% chance of rain.

I stepped onto the chilly Houston Oaks Gun club property thankful for an overcast day instead of a rainy one. Bethany and her friends and family were in the cottage getting ready. Spirits were high and the cottage was full of laughter and anticipation.

Cameron and Bethany wanted to do a first look before their wedding, and it couldn’t have been more magical. Cameron waited by a lake as Bethany was carted via golf-cart to the location for the first look. Of coarse, there was an entourage of friends and family who hid in the background. Everyone wanted to see Cameron’s reaction. It was well worth the wait, because Cameron nearly melted as he turned to view his bride in her dress for the first time. After, the entire wedding party moved to the Houston Oaks main property to take group photos.

One Thousand years by the Piano Guys bloomed over the speakers as the blushing bride walked down the isle escorted by both her mother and father. The couple chose to make a unity braid at their ceremony to show their commitment to both God and each-other.

It was a beautiful ceremony which ended in laughter, tears and lots and lots of dancing. The entire wedding party wore holes in their shoes as they danced the night away, thanks to they DJ’s at PRP Entertainment.
