Brennan’s of Houston Wedding: Christina & Hart

Christina and Hart’s wedding was the fourth time I’ve worked with the bride… Having been a bridesmaid in one of our weddings, and a guest at two, Christina couldn’t help but leave an indelible impression as a total sweetheart. When she got engaged to HER sweetheart and headed our way? I was all, “YES, PLEASE!” Fast forward eight months, and we found ourselves in June. Christina made her way down the aisle, and Hart’s smile told the whole room just how much he loved her – and how long he’s waited for her these seven years…

C&H – Thank you for trusting us to capture such an amazing day! We felt nothing but completely welcomed and appreciated by your wedding party, your sweet families, and all of your guests. We’re grateful for the opportunity to work with people like you… People with such genuine hearts, giant senses of humor, and an innate ability to be complete naturals in front of the camera :) We hope you enjoy these faves from your big day! XOXO!!

(1) Christina’s a smarty. She let all her girls pick out any gray dress they wanted – and they went together beautifully! (2) See our past bride Kata doing C’s makeup? Loved seeing you, lady!! And (3) this MOB is one of the nicest women on the planet. Love this sweet moment captured as she read a card from her daughter…

I about died when I saw Christina’s Enzoani gown. And flowers by Bergner & Johnson were the perfect match!

Hart was looking dapper in his gingham bow tie, as he awaited the first look at Grace Bible Church

Shooting portraits prior to the ceremony is my FAVORITE thing in the world :) This is why…

Christina – how can you be so cute/drop-dead-gorgeous/buff all at the same time?!

The one of the right makes me smile like none other.

These boys were troopers wearing black in that heat!

And this group of girls completely stole my heart. Which wasn’t hard considering I’ve worked with at least four of them in previous weddings :) LOVE being passed around by such sweet and wonderful people!

And of course, they had to show off their TOMS.

After having a little fun with the whole gang, it was time to get MARRIED!!

He looked at her like this the entire time… Smitten.

A gorgeous ceremony was celebrated by all :)

Back at Brennan’s, we were able to shoot quite a few more portraits. I was in Heaven!

MANY thanks to the reception staff for being so incredible and letting us sneak into various rooms like this one!

Oh, I feel like a proud momma. I think I love these two…

The ballroom was decked out with peonies and dusty miller. My kind of details!

Then the party got started :) With help from one of the best bands in town, Doppelganger.

Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Donahue! Leave them love!!
