Wedding Photography at the Springs Angleton, Texas

Early fall (still summer-hot) wedding photography at The Springs Wedding Venue in Angleton.

Around the end of August, I headed out to Angleton to take photos at the stunning Springs wedding venue there. As a wedding photographer, I love getting the chance to visit interesting and completely unique venues. My mind is always whirring with the photography possibilities.

I loved how the wedding colors seemed to complement not only the bride and bridesmaids, but also the venue. There’s something so special about a delicate blue pallet for your wedding.

Check out my wedding photography from the Springs Angleton venue.

Wedding Photography at the Springs Event Venue in Cypress, TX

A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to take wedding photos at the Springs Event Venue at Cypress Texas.

The entrance to the wedding venue looks like something plucked out of a fairy tale story, with its long driveway that rounds around a circle of greenery and marble.

As you walk inside, the venue opens up to a double winding staircase and beyond that a gorgeous space with high ceilings, chandeliers and a large floor to ceiling window that faces the setting sun.

Aside from the amazing potential for wedding photography on the inside of the venue, the outside gardens are breathtaking. Their trailing sweet potatoes vines, fountains and swaying weeping willow branches transforms the space into a fairy tale wedding.

Bruce & Kayla’s White Oaks on the Bayou Spring Wedding

Bruce & Kala’s spring wedding at White Oaks on the Bayou marks my first wedding for the year, and boy did they knock it out the park!

It’s that time of year when the weather warms and the spring buds show. This is one of my favorite (and least favorite) times of the year. It’s my favorite time for weddings, but oh man does this season really like to mess with my allergies. 

Bruce & Kala’s spring wedding at White Oaks on the Bayou marks my first wedding for the year, and boy did they knock it out the park!

Kayla and her bridesmaids got ready in these adorable flower patterned silk robes that Kayla’s mom found in Taiwan. They opened some bubblie and had a blast getting ready at White oaks on the Bayou. What’s the best way to put on makeup? With a glass of champagne in your hand, that’s what!

The wedding was perfect! Bruce and Kayla married outside in front of a circlet of roses and pink carnations with the soft, warm breeze whispering through their hair. Birds chirped off in the distance and the little stream that runs past the property burbled quietly. 

After the sun dipped below the horizon, the fire pit was lit and guests migrated toward the flames to sit and chat or to make some delicious S’mores. The night ended in a sparkler exit and a final kiss from the happy couple.

Ben & Jen’s Flawless Farm Wedding

A country wedding for the ages

Hours before Ben & Jen were scheduled to stay their vows, omonus clouds darkened the sky with streaks of lightning that danced across the sky and thunder that jarred the ground beneath my feet. What a way for an outdoor, country wedding to start.

As I arrived at the farm, the rain had softened to a constant drizzle, which was an improvement from the torrential downpour. A pasture filled with sheep and two donkeys greeted me as I entered the property. According to the owner, donkeys are the perfect animal to keep coyotes away (you learn something new every day).

The couple was supposed to get married under a tree on the property, but had to shift to a location under  a covered patio because of the rain. miraculously, the rain completely stopped and the sun shone through the clouds right as the wedding started.

Marry Me by Train started on the speakers as Jennifer walked down the aisle arm in arm with her father. Her dress was simple, yet so elegant. Also, it had pockets y’all. Pockets!!

Ben & Jen said their vows under a handmade arch on the first official day of fall. Though the leaves were not turning orange and yellow (and no one expects they ever will) and thanks to the recent rain storm, the temperature was a comfortable 80-ish, it was a stunning fall wedding.

This was both Ben & Jen’s second marriage. They each have 2 children from a previous marriage and a son together. Jennifer’s beautiful girls stood as bridesmaids, their dusty rose lace dresses looked perfect with their simple straight hair. Ben’s boys were such handsome groomsmen in their sky blue button up shirts and navy bow ties.

The reception moved to the inside of the farm house where twinkle lights, votive’s and country chic decorations adjourned the tables and walls. The whole wedding was pulled together by “the village” friends and family decorated and cooked. One of Jennifer’s best friends did her makeup. Her other best friend supplied the stunning farm property and put her husband to work while she helped get Jennifer ready and Ben’s father officiated the wedding.

Trey & Dallis’s DIY Enchanted Backyard Wedding

An enchanting backyard wedding in Damon, Texas

Trey & Dallas said “I do” at sunset in Dallis’s fathers backyard. The enchanting property was a stones throw from the Brazos Bend Park. Old gnarled oak branches with their long fingers of Spanish moss hugged the property. As the sun set, it peeked through the forest behind the property like something out of a fairy tale.

Dallis’s family made the alter out of old power-line poles and draped them in the same blush cloth from Dallis’s wedding dress and a garland of ivy and pink and blue flowers. There weren’t any ring-bearers or flower-girls, but there was a puppy. Trey & Dallis’s husky puppy, Mars walked the aisle with Dakota, Dallis’s brother before the blushing bride made her entrance.

The couple wrote their own vows, which they read during the ceremony. It was so sweet, there wasn’t a dry eye by the end of it.

The happy couple danced and partied with their friends and family under the Texas night sky. There was corn hole and a ring-toss game as well as great music and dancing. Everything at the wedding was made by the wedding party. It was a complete DIY wedding. Check out some wedding photography highlights. Don’t forget to leave a message! You can also click this link – here – to view Dallis’s bridal portraits.

Dallis’s Backyard Bridal Session

Happy wedding day to Dallis & Trey!

The day has finally arrived.

Dallis came down for the weekend (a month ago) from Lafayette for her gorgeous dusk bridal session at her fathers home in Damon, Texas where she has now just tied the knot.

There is something so fun and natural about taking photos in the comfort of your home.

I had so much fun taking photos of Dallis (and her brother). Her family came in from Louisiana and parts of Houston to help out, and they were such a big help. I absolutely love it when friends and family get involved and help with posing and to make the subject smile.

One thing that made my jaw drop, her Grandmother and Aunt made her wedding dress. First off, it is an amazing dress in by itself with the baby pink color and that dip in the front and the back (which looked stunning on Dallis), but to hear that her Grandmother made it just blew my mind.

We took portraits around the backyard of her Fathers property, right were she and Trey just got married. I loved the old moss covered oak trees, the fallen tree wrapped in lights and who could forget about that swing! What an amazing place to take photos. What an amazing place to get married.

Summer Wedding Inspiration

It’s officially summer (in 2 days), and you know what that means.

Sweat stains, mosquito’s, and broken AC’s
Margaritas by the pool, fun at the beach and summer-time weddings!

Summer weddings in Houston can be a little tricky, but a lot of fun if you follow a few simple rules.

  1. Please, please, please do not have an outdoor wedding at high-noon in the middle of summer. Summer outdoor weddings in Houston can be really beautiful and tolerable closer to dusk, but stifling closer to noon.
  2. Be aware of your surroundings.
    1. AstroTurf traps heat. It could be 80 degrees in the shade, but 160 in the middle of the turf.
    2. Concrete reflects light & heat.
    3. Consider a wedding under ancient oak trees.
  3. Make sure you have a nearby facility with AC & cool drinks on hand.
  4. Offer fans or umbrellas to your guests for your ceremony (if you are having an outdoor wedding).
  5. Have a sunscreen & mosquito spray station.

Colors

Teal, pink, Lemon, Lime, violet

Fun vibrant colors are great for summer weddings. Make sure if you are going to have a darker color like violet to pare it with a brighter colors like lemon. You can find amazing color pallets on Pinterest by just searching “summer colors.”

 

Flowers

Succulents, sunflowers, daisy’s, baby’s breath, roses
