    Intimate First Landing Wedding | Tereza and Ivan

      Intimate First Landing Wedding Tereza and Ivan There is relaxed weddings and there is Tereza and Ivan’s wedding. As soon as I arrived to their room, I felt the atmosphere. They were getting ready in the same room, their two beautiful children were playing around, and Popsicles were offered. I mean, what else can I ask for? Their wedding was full of color, all the Purple, Pinks and Fuchsia you can dream of. It looked perfectly with the beach scene and the waterfront from the Lesner Inn. Tereza met Ivan seven years ago while working. She cut his hair and from there struck romance. From El Salvador and Honduras…

    Fun Oceanaire Resort Wedding | Heather and Ryan

    Super Fun Oceanaire Resort Wedding Heather and Ryan     There is no dull wedding at the Oceanaire. In fact, every single wedding has being a fun Oceanaire Resort Wedding. Take it, it could be that I get to photograph their most fun couples. When I think about my ideal couple, I think about couples like Heather and Ryan. They are fun, magnets for each other, loving people who love their tribe, prepared and ready to have the time of their lives on their wedding day. When I ask a couple how they’d describe themselves and they reply “a hot mess”, I know I found my couple. It is said…

    Oceanaire Resort Wedding | Angie and Dave | Purple and Blue

    Oceanaire Resort Wedding Angie and Dave I love Angie and Dave and can tell you these two have the recipe for a successful and forever marriage. They know how to laugh with each other, romantic and fun. Their wedding at the beautiful Oceanaire Resort seemed like it was going to be a “wash out”. It poured, not rained, poured most of the day. It even rained on us while taking formals (evidence below) and right before the ceremony. However, the rain stopped right before the party was about to start and we rocked the night away.  Now, you may think you are seeing double but no, Dave has a twin…

    Oceanaire Resort Wedding | Akira and Alton | Tropical Glam Paradise

    Oceanaire Resort Wedding Akira and Alton  | A Tropical Glam Paradise Akira and Alton’s Oceanaire Resort Wedding was a tropical lover’s dream and if you love bling, you are in heaven. From the palm leaves to the pineapples, the feeling of summer was in the air. You must take a closer look to the little pineapples Akira got for her bouquet. They were the perfect accent to her wedding. Akira and Alton met with a bump. Alton bumped into her not once but twice. They exchanged numbers and had a long distance relationship for a while. I love how Akira acknowledges how tough a long distance relationship can be but…

    Sandbridge Wedding | Karen and Fred

    Sandbridge Wedding | Karen & Fred A Sandbridge Wedding. We all get married with the goal of forever but sometimes that doesn’t quite work out. I believe that during that time, life teaches us lessons to shape us into the new person we will be. It seems those times we have failed but in reality is just a way for life to make us into one who is perfect for someone else. We become then one with maturity and appreciation for what is to come, we understand the the struggles and victories that come with saying “I do” and we gain the power of not giving up. This life experience…

    The Attic at Waterman’s Wedding | Hillary + Matt | An Elegant affair

    The Attic At Waterman’s Wedding Hillary and Matt’s The Attic at Watermans Wedding was full of laughter, love and dance. Most of the time I struggle with what to write about a couple, not because of them but because I am a horrible blogger. They tell me a little about themselves and then I word it in my own weird ways. However, when I asked Hillary and Matt to tell me their love story, their answered is one for the books and one I will steal for this blog post! Their love story: A handsome New Englander moved to Texas and somehow found a blonde haired, blue eyed jewel (his…
