Stephanie & Mike tied the knot this past Saturday at St. Paul’s United Methodist and celebrated at The Houstonian Hotel. It really was a fantastic day.  Everything was so well planned and all-around beautiful. We had a great time!  Enjoy the faves….

A couple of the highlights for me were the father/daughter dance & the hunt for the garter!  They made it so fun to watch!

We did the usual ‘ashley k’ thang and headed into the hotel for a few of my favorites from the day…

Check it out… an awesome ‘ashley k’ style portrait turned hilarious…

Mike decided to give her a ‘look’ and the rest… well, see for yourself!  Classic images…

Kristen & Bryan in old Richmond town.

We met up in a little town called Richmond.  Not only was Kristen born and raised around these parts, but her family history goes back a few generations here.  I was just thrilled to finally have an excuse to try out the stomping grounds of my fellow Houston photogs. It definitely made for a good time! There were several that I loved…

The little church where her parents were married & where Kristen & Bryan will perform a ‘mini’ ceremony before they head to Briscoe on their wedding day this July.  Kristen also attended preschool here!

You just can’t find this kind of character in the big city… I love small towns.

And it wouldn’t be a session in Richmond if we didn’t hit the RR tracks…

Kristen is probably gonna hate me… but this picture was SO funny.  We thought we’d take advantage of the passing train and try to get some shots in front of it, but half the time Kristen had this look on her face… it was almost too much for her to handle!  Funny…

But we still got one or two…

Love the next two…

I just can’t say enough great things about Lauren & the fantastic family she’s already got & about to get herself into!  We have had so much fun together and still have a fabulous wedding to look forward to in March!  I met Curtis and Lauren at his parent’s ranch in Hempstead for their engagement session.  Here are a few that made the top of my list…
