Menil Collection engagement portraits

Brad & Jenny’s engagement photos at the Menil Collection grounds

I have lived almost my entire life here in Houston and I have never, until recently, even known about the gorgeous Menil collection grounds. Jenny suggested the location for their engagement photos. There was so much to see in the area. I’m also a sucker for old oak trees, especially ones who’s branches touch the ground.

At the end of this week, Brad and Jenny will marry. Happy wedding week to this amazing couple!

Downtown Houston Engagement Photos

November 30, 2021

Preston & Olivia’s Downtown Houston Engagement Portraits.

The streets were calm as people made their way to and from the city. I met Preston & Olivia near what I thought was an apartment complex nestled inside the city, but was actually a hip looking office building.

After I got in trouble for climbing a cute spiral staircase, we took a couple of photos on the only spots we were allowed to stand on then made our way toward the large structure that housed the House of Blues, a dueling piano bar, blowing alley and so much more. There were so many great angles and murals all around us.

We were gifted with a breathtaking sunset as we ended our engagement portraits on top a parking garage. See the gorgeous engagement photos below.

Leighton & Heather’s Galveston Engagement Portraits

July 13, 2021

There is a unique place as your heading out to Galveston that I have wanted to stop at and take photos for a while now. I was so excited when Leighton and Heather agreed to be my guinea pigs. So, before heading to the beach, I met up with the couple at the marshes.

When we got to the beach, I found out that Leighton & Heather could dance. When I say dance, I mean intense quasi-acrobatic swing-dancing. They showed me their sweet, sweet dance moves (which I captured) then we walked down to the jetties, which I’ve been intrigued about for a while now. There, I got into some trouble with the lifeguard because I kept standing where I wasn’t supposed to stand, and I asked Leighton and Heather to stand where they weren’t supposed to… who knew there were so many rules around the jetties?
