I enjoyed attending Megan and Tom’s wedding on a luxurious yacht in Kemah, Texas. It was a truly magical day filled with love and joy. The couple exchanged their vows surrounded by the sparkling waters of the Gulf, and then we all headed to Brennan’s in Houston for their intimate reception. It was a beautiful…
I had the privilege of attending Virginia and Fischer’s beautiful wedding ceremony, which took place at their cozy home in Georgetown, South Carolina.

We had such a blast at The Retreat at Balcones Springs with Mia, Brett, and their fantastic family and friends! It was a long weekend filled with so many memorable moments, or what I like to call in-between moments. I loved hearing how Mia and Brett met at a hat shop on South Congress in…

Here are a few favorite clicks from Elise and Alexander’s engagement session a couple of weeks ago.

Here’s Hema and Patrick’s engagement session downtown from a couple of weeks ago. They’re getting married in Cape Town, South Africa!

My…

This image is from four beautiful days spent with Imran and Mehr in Houston. This image is my photo of the month. A pithi ceremony is a joyous, lively, and lighthearted occasion in which family members and friends bless the couple with good wishes. In modern times, the “dirty pithi” is a fun spin where the groom’s…
Sarah and Derek’s wedding was at the historic and ornate San Fernando Cathedral, and the wedding reception followed at The McNay Art Museum in San Antonio, Texas. Yes, it did rain. Hard. But not until the evening. And it’s good luck if it rains on your wedding day! I know it’s true as I read it…

As we come to the end of 2022, I reflect on the year, like most of us. So, I’m restarting a new series of images. This photograph is very dear to me. I’m always drawn to these two subjects: Fathers and their daughters. Because I’m a dad, too, I cannot believe my girls have grown…

Meredith and Jordan tied the knot at the South Congress Hotel in Austin. I adore this couple and the beautiful energy they exude. My goal when photographing a wedding is to tell a unique story, and each image should stand alone as a wonderful photograph. At least, that’s the goal:-). Special thanks to Jaycie Kreitzer…
