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.

Houston Wedding Venue Review – Las Velas:
Formerly known as Paraiso Maravilla, Las Velas (which translates to “the candles”) is taking the romantic atmosphere to a completely different level. Las Velas is elegant, unique and absolutely beautiful.The huge windows in the front of Las Velas allow for beautiful natural light which always helps make great photos! Photographers can appreciate every square foot of this venue because it is beauty, everywhere you turn. The Mediterranean look of Las Velas with the gorgeous wrought iron, intricate archways and stone is one of a kind! The tall ceiling and beautiful foliage growing inside makes it feel like you have left Houston and are in Latin America in a romantic getaway. Las Velas is simply gorgeous… for sure!

Houston Wedding Venue Review – The San Luis:
When you think of the San Luis you think Luxurios, Spacious, Waterfront…CHECK. If you have ever dreamed of a water front wedding (indoors or out, your choice) the San Luis is one of the best in Galveston Texas. The Outdoor Gazebo of the San Luis is a great location and is a very short walk to the beach. We like to take the wedding party to the beach to have some fun with some different stuff.This also goes for those of you that get married indoors, in one of the Spectacular Ballrooms at the San Luis. We encourage you to schedule some time to do these photos….you will not be sad you did! We love to try new, unique photos….and the San Luis a great place to do so!! The San Luis is an outstanding choice for a wedding venue in Galveston Texas.

Houston Wedding Venue Review – Star Fleet Yachts:
When you think of Star Fleet Yachts, you think, “Ok how many people can say I got married on a Yacht?” Now that is awesome! Almost as cool as being out on Star Fleet Yacht, a beautiful day on the water, look around and realize WOW! I am at work!! Ok, I know it’s not about us, but Star Fleet Yachts is a cool place to work!!! As a photographer it is such a unique venue and lends itself to some cool ideas. Of course there is Natural Light everywhere (which any photographer can appreciate) and many places on the beautiful Star Fleet Yachts to take pictures of a Newlywed couple. Your family and guests will love the part of the cruise where they get to throw beads to the Patrons on the Kemah boardwalk. It makes for some great photos too!

Houston Wedding Venue Review – Hotel Zaza:
If you are looking for a swanky, stylish venue…..Hotel Zaza is the place. Hotel Zaza is located in one of Houston’s Hot Spots, The Museum district. The Decor of Hotel Zaza provides a number of places to take some truly unique photos. Swanky describes it best. How cool is it have the bride sit in a chic Zebra Chair and photograph the groom sitting at a Grand Piano? It is also fun to take the Bridal Party and couple in the streets outside of Hotel Zaza for some cool urban photos. The creative decor at Hotel Zaza can really make a photographer feel even more creative. The ideas are endless. You can really set yourself apart and show off your style with Hotel Zaza as you Venue Choice, another of Houston’s Greats! Man….it really is a Good thing to be getting married in Houston. Such great venues here!!

Houston Wedding Venue Review – Hotel Galvez:
Hotel Galvez is an outstanding choice for a waterfront venue in Galveston Texas. The Historic Hotel has charm and a sophisticated style. The beautiful architecture, natural light and ocean view are just a few of the positives that we normally can only wish for individually. At Hotel Galvez, we get all three?….. We’ll take it. You will have the choice of tying the knot in the Gazebo outside Hotel Galvez or in one of the magnificent ballrooms. Either way you are only steps from the ocean. AND…. since we are so close to the ocean, we would like to take the wedding party to the beach to have some fun taking photos! Oh and of course we wouldn’t pass up the opportunity to take some beach photos outside the Hotel Galvez of the newlywed couple! Hotel Galvez is a great Venue choice!

The Admiral is a spectacular place for photos! Oh yea, and your wedding. The Admiral has floor to ceiling windows that provide a wonderful view of Clear Lake. Photographers get excited about having this much Natural Light!! Simply Beautiful. The gorgeous wood beams and cathedral ceilings at the Admiral create the elegance that most couples desire when choosing a wedding venue. It is the perfect solution to wanting to get married by a water view and having an elegant place for your guests to celebrate your marriage with you! We like to take a few minutes and take the Bride and Groom out on the deck for some sunset over water photos if we get the chance. The Admiral is a definite Thumbs up from us!

Houston Wedding Venue Review – The Houstonian:
The Houstonian Hotel has 4 magnificent ballrooms to choose from and they are all awesome if you want our opinion! You have the option of having the ceremony indoors or outdoors at the Houstonian. The Houstonian Hotel is tucked away in a tranquil, wooded area and is absolutely beautiful! If you are looking for a sophisticated venue for your wedding celebration, the Houstonian is certainly a great choice! The wood moldings, wall coverings and elegant light fixtures make photos beautiful and interesting at the Houstonian. It is great as photographers to have so much detail and multiple options for backdrops; especially a Grand Fireplace like the one in the Lobby of the Houstonian! Evoke has had the pleasure of working here many, many times and are thrilled to..every time.

The Crystal Ballroom at Rice Hotel is located in one of Houston’s most historic buildings, the original site of the Capitol of the Republic of Texas. What a Gorgeous Venue! It is filled with crystal chandeliers, excellent murals and has 35 foot ceilings! The outdoor terrace at the Crystal Ballroom is a great place for some unique photo opportunities. The restoration done to this building is detail oriented and created a spectacular venue! Photographers have so many options at the Crystal Ballroom at Rice Hotel for some elegant wedding portraits. We will also try to drag you out to the Terrace to do some cool stuff with skyscrapers in the background. The Crystal Ballroom at Rice Hotel is a nice venue choice..EVOKE digs it!!!

Houston Wedding Venue Review – Villa Rinata:
Villa Rinata is a Mediterranean style venue that is, without a doubt, a great place for Weddings and Bridal sessions if you ask any photographer! Villa Rinata has such a romantic feel and is a great location to get some unique images. We love the wrought iron and carved stone that is found throughout the building. The large windows at Villa Rinata provide excellent natural light that any professional photographer can appreciate. There is such an intimate feel at Villa Rinata! Every inch of this place makes a great background, indoors and out! The option for an indoor or outdoor ceremony at Villa Rinata is awesome! Also, the chef here is amazing! Oops, should we know that? Ok we have over heard guests saying it many times. We have photographed hundreds of weddings at Villa Rinata and are excited to come back every time we get the chance!

Houston Wedding Venue Review – The Parador:
The Parador is a Historic building located in Houston’s Museum District and is a true work of Art! As artists we appreciate the Architecture and Design of the Parador’s unique Octagonal shape. This Mediterranean Style, historic building is a great place for Engagement, Bridal and Wedding photos. The two quaint outdoor gardens at the Parador are great for backgrounds and as Photographers, we love it! The gorgeous archways and uniqueness of the Parador is very much appreciated by us! Couples and their families can appreciate the privacy of having the Parador all to themselves for the evening. Whether you have an outdoor ceremony or choose to stay indoors at the Parador, your wedding will truly stand out. After all how many people can say they were married in an Octagon shaped, historic building? The Parador is the only one we know of and we are anxious to work here every time!

Houston Wedding Venue Review – Rockefeller Hall:
Rockefeller Hall is such a unique Venue! It is a famous Historic Building with hand carved ceilings and Cathedral Windows. The upper level of Rockefeller Hall looks down on the dance floor and is a cool aerial view for your guests (and a cool angle for the photographer). Guests can also watch the ceremony from above, what a unique perspective Rockefeller Hall offers! It is such an intimate setting and is truly one of a kind. It is really cool to have an entire building dedicated to your Wedding Celebration. We like to go outside of Rockefeller Hall and get some cool, urban style shots (if that is something that you like) too. The Salon area where the Bride and her girls get ready at Rockefeller Hall is spacious and great for photos as well.

Houston Wedding Venue Review – The Courtyard at St. James:
The Courtyard at St. James is an Old New Orleans style, simple yet elegant venue. The Wrought Iron gates and perfect landscaping at the Courtyard at St. James make a great setting for photos! The problem is not that we can’t find a place to take a photo, the problem is there are endless places and how long can we drag you around the location before you start getting sick of us! The Large beautiful windows, chandeliers and gorgeous French doors at the Courtyard at St. James are just a few of the reasons we (and lots of couples) say that the Courtyard is a great choice!

Houston Wedding Venue Review – Briscoe Manor:
When we hear the name, Briscoe Manor, we automatically think, “Welcome to Texas!!” Briscoe Manor is the perfect mixture of Texas and Elegance! The property has a Rustic Charm that cannot be duplicated. A photographer could get lost on the many acres of incredible landscape at Briscoe Manor. At some point you may have to stop us because we could photograph for days out here! Briscoe Manor has endless possibilities for backgrounds from the lake, the outdoor gazebo, the limestone chapel and much more! Engagement, Bridal and Wedding photos at Briscoe Manor allow for many opportunities to get a lot of unique and creative images. Would you like a photo with a Longhorn in the background? No problem. How about a photo with the two of you sitting in Rocking Chairs near a gorgeous lake? Briscoe Manor’s got it. We would say that the designers of Briscoe Manor get a big “Yee Haw” from us!

Houston Wedding Venue Review – Ashton Gardens:
Ashton Gardens is a great venue! As photographers it is always a relief to go to a Venue that is as gorgeous as Ashton Gardens! The glass enclosed chapel of Ashton Gardens is tucked away in a private Forest Area and is one of EVOKE’s favorite places to photograph! It is always nice to photograph at a venue that has many nice options for backgrounds like Ashton Gardens does. The suites that the Bride and Groom get ready in are really nice and believe it or not, this is not always the case. It’s nice to do getting ready shots at Ashton Gardens and not have to worry about avoiding some ugly wall. There are many options for the Bride and Grooms formal pictures, inside and out of Ashton Gardens. Definite Bonus! As if the beauty of Ashton Gardens is not enough, the staff makes it very easy for us to do what we do and this only makes the experience for couples that much better. EVOKE gives Ashton Gardens a definite Thumbs up!
