Azuka and Charles Engagement

2009-07-07T20:32:00.009-05:00

I met Azuka and Charles and we instantly hit it off. They have a very unique chemistry between each other and it shows in their photos. Azuka loves to laugh and her laugh is very contagious. We decided to do something unique by going to the very exquisite Hotel Zaza. Their wedding is in October and I cant wait to shoot that. Also wish I could share Azuka's bridal photos already but will have to wait till after their wedding.

Teresa and Bryan

2009-04-07T12:22:00.004-05:00

There is a touching story behind Teresa and Bryan's wedding celebration. They were originally victims of Tuscany bankruptcy which meant all the preparation for their original wedding was disrupted due to their wedding location filing for bankruptcy. They chose the beautiful Vargos garden as their new wedding location but mother nature had another plan per say. It rained heavily that day so the beautiful setting you see in the first picture was no more. The wedding was moved inside but it was still very beautiful nevertheless.
Most people would have been very sad due to the rain but Teresa accepted it and was one of the most fun loving brides i have shot.

There is a more interactive slide show of the wedding day that you can look at by going to www.rhphotoarts.com/teresaandbryan.

Beautiful peacok at location.

Teresa and her beautiful mom!

Shoot at the Ranch

2009-03-16T17:46:00.002-05:00

I had the great pleasure of meeting Andrea and Curtis for the first time for their engagement session. They were a referral from an old client Elizabeth. The Ranch was spectacular, there is something very artsy about this spot. It was fun shooting them, they had mentioned that they barely took photos and probably had about 7 since they started dating. Judging from the pictures, it seemed like that wasnt quite true because they were simply very comfortable and easy to shoot. Cant wait till the wedding!

Love the back shot in the open field.

Engagement at the Red Rock Canyon

2009-03-07T11:14:00.002-06:00

So it was my birthday the weekend of February 21st, so i decided to go to Las Vegas to celebrate. I have always wanted to do an engagement session outside of Houston so I decided to ask Folabi and Malaika if they were interested in coming to celebrate with me and also to get a chance to do their Engagement session out at the Red Rock Canyon in Las Vegas. He agreed and the result were some of the most beautiful photos I have taken.

Bridal Extravaganza Show

2009-01-12T17:25:00.002-06:00

This was the first time doing the bridal show and absolutely had no idea what to expect. We set out to get the regular booth which ended up not being wide enough for all the traffic that stopped by. The show was great. The first day was crazy. Lots and lots of brides showed up. The main attraction for our show was the 3d photo image that we displayed. The photo in the frame will change as observers walked beside it. Everyone was crazy about that which was cool because we had to stand out one way or another knowing there were a lot of photographers at the show.

A big thank you to all the brides and people that stopped by to say hello or pick up a card. Hope that you guys had fun as well.

Here is pic of our small setup

Titi and Folarin.. Downtown Houston

2008-12-17T15:51:00.003-06:00

After brainstorming with the couple on what location to do the engagement session we finally decided on using a Downtown Hotel. Couldnt have been a better choice because the hotel had a great rooftop as well.

Found a great overhead source of light for this pose. The focus was
to make everything else around them dark but their faces.

The beautiful Downtown Houston.

One of my favs. Looks like they are walking into a Giant Kingdom with huge vases. lol
