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.

Bethany’s Rainy indoor Bridal Portraits at the Houston Oaks Gun Club

Congratulations to Cameron & Bethany on their wedding! I am so excited that I can now share Bethany’s bridal portraits.

It was a cold and rainy Sunday when we ventured out to take Bethany’s bridal portraits at the Houston Oaks Gun Club, but the weather did not dampen Bethany’s mood. I loved all of Bethany’s details, they are so happy and bubbly just like Bethany’s personality. The beautiful bride was all smiles the entire evening, even with the weather. We even ventured out into the rain to take a few photos under an umbrella.

Comeback next Tuesday to see photos from their wedding day.

 

Fall Wedding Inspiration

It’s almost fall, which means Oktoberfest beers… I mean my favorite color pallet is almost here!! I am obsessed with the color orange, so much so that my wedding ring has a Mexican Fire Opal in the center, my childhood bedroom is one part macaroni color one part mango and all of my sneakers are orange.

The weather will start cooling down and outdoor weddings will finally be bearable. We will start loosing the sun sooner sadly. That is the biggest thing I miss is longer days. Kids will be back in school, so your wedding guest list might be smaller than it would be during the summer.

 

Colors

orange, persimmon, peach, canary, cranberry, brown, indigo, beige.

Light warm colors with darker undertones seem to be the current trend. I recently saw a stunning image posted on Equally Wed that was a combination of a persimmon orange, peach and canary with grey and beige. It looked stunning.

 

Flowers

Sunflowers, calla lilies, chrysanthemums, Orchids, cranberries, greenery like ferns

Seriously though, I am digging the all sunflower bouquet look. It is so fun and sassy while still being on point with the fall theme.
