Something Blue

Houston Wedding Trends – Something Blue:
Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue. We all know this traditional rhyme, some even adding in the final line, “a sixpence in your shoe”. But what exactly does it all mean? Representing good luck in a marriage if all charms are carried down the aisle by the bride, this Old English phrase has been observed time and time again at so many weddings over the years. Our favorite line of the phrase and the most fun to capture in photographs? Something blue! We’ve gathered up a few of our favorite images to share of this tranquil color. From the simple and most delicate of details, to the boldest, deepest shade of blue, we’re sure you’ll find something to inspire your walk down the aisle! Let us know what you plan to carry as your something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue with your comments below.

Shanna + Jason – Historic Houston Heights

Houston Portrait Photography – Historic Houston Heights:

Hermann Park? Yeah, we’ve been there. Sam Houston Park? Been there, too. Discovery Green? Check! Never satisfied with the same ol’thing, we are constantly on the hunt for new and exciting locations to not only display our artistry but also places that will allow you as a couple to be yourself and show off your unique personalities. On a suggestion from Shanna + Jason, we ventured over to the Historic Houston Heights, located in northwest Houston, for their photo session. 19th Street in the Heights is known for its various shops that dot the pavement up and down the busy road. So how do we turn this traffic-filled location into a private set, allowing us to focus on Shanna + Jason? We take the sidewalk less traveled of course! Stepping off the main road and into a nearby alleyway, we were able to capture fun, playful images of Shanna + Jason that truly showed off their creative style. Let us know what you think of Shanna + Jason’s engagement session in the Historic Houston Heights with your comments below!
