Houston Wedding Photography – Agave Real:
Surrounded by features straight from nature, Agave Real captures the essence of a hidden treasure and tells a story with each corner turned. In one direction you’ll find natural stone walkways leading up to beautifully handcrafted doors. Take a stroll in a different direction to come upon a lovely cabana overlooking a pool described by the creators as “lagoon style”. LaToya + Darrius were among the first couples to get married at the newly established Agave Real, part of the Agave Estates family, and we could not have been more thrilled to capture some of the first images of this venue. We had so many great images to choose from, and with a couple as perfectly paired as LaToya + Darrius, it was hard to narrow down our selection. Let us know what you think of LaToya + Darrius’ wedding at Agave Real, located in Katy, with your comments below.

Houston Wedding Venue Review – Las Velas:
Deltra + Allan’s wedding at Las Velas was almost the event that never was. With visions of a small, quick Vegas chapel wedding playing in their minds, Deltra + Allan had a choice to make. Not having their friends and families involved, especially Allan’s family who would be coming all the way from Kenya, simply wasn’t an option. So Deltra + Allan set out to plan their fairy tale wedding at Las Velas right here in Houston. The overall feel of the day was to be romantic and dramatic, but not over the top. And nothing illustrated this theme better than Deltra’s wedding dress from David’s Bridal. With hand beading and lace details that were sophisticated yet subtle, Deltra’s dress was the definition of romance. To complete her timeless look, a birdcage veil adorned with feathers and ribbon was placed in Deltra’s hair along with a set of pearls fastened around her neck. With its natural vibe, Deltra + Allan’s candlelit ceremony at Las Velas provided just enough “wow” to intrigue guests and transport them away to the majestic drama of the Mediterranean. As you wander the halls, staircases and courtyards of Las Velas, you can’t help but be inspired as we were when capturing formals of the newlywed couple. After a few quick photos, Deltra + Allan joined their guests as Jose with LG Entertainment set the tone for dancing and socializing among the cascading, twinkling lights high above the dance floor of Las Velas. The lights overhead were not the only thing twinkling at Las Velas that night. The cake provided by Who Made the Cake was decorated with rhinestones that sparkled and dazzled guests as it was being cut by the happy couple. Before the reception came to a close, Deltra + Allan honored Allan’s Kenyan heritage by performing a tradition welcoming Deltra into the family. Deltra was presented and dressed with handmade jewelry by family members. The ritual was a very touching and moving custom for all who witnessed. Wanting to be more involved with their guest and not wanting to be the first to leave the event, Deltra + Allan saw their guests off and soon began their happily ever after as husband and wife. Let us know what you think of their fairy tale wedding at Las Velas with your comments below! How will your happily ever after begin?

Houston Wedding Venue Review – The Petroleum Club of Houston:
Located on the 43rd and 44th floors of the ExxonMobil building in Downtown Houston, the Petroleum Club offers world-class chefs, quality service and first-class accommodations all surrounded by the city’s breathtaking skyline. The glass-lined rooms of the Petroleum Club allow for natural lighting during the day that is exceptional to work with and the evening sunset provides a stunning backdrop that adds to the classic and romantic atmosphere. Imagine the reactions from your guests as the sun begins to fade and the twinkle of lights from the office buildings among Houston set the tone for dancing long into the night. Having been located on Bell Street since the early 1960′s, the Petroleum Club has been a long-standing Houston treasure and we always look forward to photographing at this amazing venue.
Laura + Daniel – St. Laurence Catholic Church & Sweetwater Country Club

Houston Wedding Photography – St. Laurence Catholic Church & Sweetwater Country Club:
This week’s “Wedding of the Week” features images from St. Laurence Catholich Church and Sweetwater Country Club. Check them out below!
When it came time for Laura and Daniel to unite, Laura knew she wanted to keep her wedding day traditional. But having a traditional wedding doesn’t mean your special day has to look and feel like all the other weddings you see in the bridal magazines. With personal and unique touches added, Laura and Daniel’s day was anything other than cookie-cutter.
And this all started with amazing images captured of her wedding dress. While searching Ventura’s vast selection of wedding gowns, Laura came across her flower-adorned dress, designed by Mori Lee, that was a perfect fit for her and complemented her personal style. Evoke was sure to photograph the special elements of this dress for the bride to treasure long after the gown has been tucked away into the far ends of her closet. To complete the look, Laura added a garter belt and veil, both handmade by her mother, to the day’s ensemble.
Part of the classic wedding day traditions that the bride included during the pre-ceremony moments was having her mother place a sixpence in her left shoe for good luck. And with bouquet in hand from Suzanne’s Flowers in Sugar Land, it was now time for Laura to walk down the aisle of St. Laurence Catholic Church to the alter where Daniel waited beneath the beautiful stained glass windows. These stained glass windows at St. Laurence Catholic Church are always a favorite detail for our photographers to capture as they provide great backgrounds for our album designs and not only help to tell the story of the wedding day, but tell a story within themselves. After a traditional full mass ceremony, the bride and groom were now husband and wife and were quickly making their way to the elegantly decorated reception at Sweetwater Country Club.
Jennifer from Sweetwater Country Club assisted the happy couple in transforming the ballroom into a fun and luxurious event for their guests, who danced the night away to music provided by JM Productions. After a little dancing, dinner was soon completed with a slice of delicous cake from Cake Affairs & Culinary Creations. Based on how great the photographs of the cake look, we can only imagine the wonderful taste of the sweet treat!
And finally, the bouquet and garter toss brought the afternoon at Sweetwater Country Club to a close as the bride and groom made their way through the bubble exit and in to the awaiting car.
Be sure to leave your comments below and let us know what you think of these amazing images from St. Laurence Catholic Church and Sweetwater Country Club!
