Hermann Park Engagement Portraits

Trey & Cassandra’s Early Morning Hermann Park & Rice University Engagement Portraits

Tristan and I met Trey and Cassandra in one of the Hermann Park parking lots for their early morning engagement portraits. Tristan was bribed with donuts if he helped me with the engagement portraits.

We started the morning just inside Rice University where the oak trees canopied the driveway. We were hoping for sun-rays through the trees, but unfortunately it ended up being a mostly overcast day. I made Trey and Cassandra play a few funny games for their portraits which brought out some amazing laughs and smiles.

Cassandra had on these adorable earrings that said “I do.” I had to make sure I got several shots with them.

There was a lot of construction at the park, so we wondered the long way to the reflection pond. Tristan helped drag the wagon that had purses, lights and a blanket. On several occasions, I made the couple test their balance on the train tracks.

I was just absolutely amazed at how the photos turned out. You would think Trey and Cassandra were seasoned models. See the photos below!

 

Vincent & Melanie’s Hermann Park Engagement Photos

Vincent and Melanie chose to have their engagement photos out around the Hermann park area. They brought their furbaby, Rolley along for the ride. The day was beautiful and Rollie was so adorable with his bow tie!

I took their engagement portraits around the reflection pond at Hermann Park then we went into the Japanese garden to take a couple of shots there. We ended the engagement portrait session around the back side of the park wondering under the amazing canopies of trees and man-made hills.

Vincent and Melanie were super cute. I loved how much fun they had and all of the amazing laughs!

I love taking engagement portraits with furbabies!

 

Ben & Savannah’s Houston Engagement Photos

Ben & Savannah’s winter engagement photos around the Houston Museum District.

I met high school sweethearts Ben & Savannah at the McGovern Centennial Gardens on a gorgeous “winter” day in Houston. After taking some photos in the roses, we headed to the tall grass structure inside the garden (I honestly don’t know what it’s called). Neither of us had ever been to the top of it. We took some photos going up and down, then we were shooed out of the garden because it was closing.

The sun was so gorgeous as it set behind the old oak trees around the museum district. We decided to walk the diameter of the garden. There were lots of smiles, giggles and always some goofing off.

Ben & Savannah have been together for nearly 10-years and plan on getting married later this year on their family’s property. Congratulations on your engagement and your upcoming wedding! I know it will be amazing!!

 

Houston Japanese Garden Engagement Portraits

Shawn & Tyler’s engagement portraits inside the Japanese Garden in Houston, TX.

Just before Thanksgiving Shawn, Tyler and I took a stroll through the Japanese garden in Hermann park. This garden is one of my FAVORITE places in Houston. I remember visiting once on a week day and running into a sweet older gentleman who was feeding the squirrels. He told me on the week day (not sure how they know what day of week it is) the squirrel are very tame and will climb up your leg to get treats you’re offering them.

The weather was perfect for their engagement portraits, which was a pleasant alternative to their originally rainy & muddy engagement session we had to reschedule. Golden rays of sunshine peeked through the tall trees casting a warm glow in all of the photos.
