Gabe & Katy’s White Oaks on the Bayou Wedding Photography

On a warm spring day, Gabe and Katy got married under swaying chiffon as the Texas sun was setting. It was such a romantic and magical wedding to photograph. The birds were chirping, there was a slight breeze and the sun was setting perfectly behind the happy couple.

One of my favorite wedding photography moments is the first-looks. I love the raw emotion that I capture during first-looks, and Katy had two! One with her Father and one with Gabe. The moments were so special to capture.

Some of my favorite parts of their wedding were taking photos of the joyful couple on the swing after the sun had set and seeing all of the sweet, sweet dance moves. So many guests were really cutting rugs that night.

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
