Tara’s Bridals – Downtown Richmond

Posted on May 15, 2012

I was so excited when Tara chose the image on the left as her gallery wrap to display at the wedding!

From Tara-

Who was with you when you found your dress?
My Best Friend Ashley

Did you know exactly what you were looking for in a wedding dress?
Yes, I had actually looked a ton online and through tons of magazines, when I found my dress on Maggie Sottero’s website. The dress was called Poppy and it was perfect!

How many dresses/locations had you tried before you finally found the perfect dress?
I had looked at 4 other dress shops in Houston with my mom and my other best friend, Taryn, when Ash came in town to hit up my last hope for Houston – Weddings by Debbie. Beauitful shop that really made you feel welcome and special. I was picking out dresses to try on off the rack and came across one in an odd but beautiful light gold color… Nicole, the sales rep, said that I could order it in diamond white if I liked it on–sure enough it just happened to be the Maggie Sottero Poppy dress I had found online! :)

What do you love about your dress and how does it make you feel?
I didn’t want to take it off! I literally tried it on 6 times that day, after each other dress I would try on. I came back multiple times to try it on: when my parents came in town, when I came to look at accessories, to show my mother-in-law… any excuse to come back and wear it again. Thank God the ladies at Weddings by Debbie are so understanding!!! It had everything I wanted but didn’t look outrageous. It was the perfect dress for my outdoor/garden ceremony on Lake Travis! Soft & Romantic with an touch of vintage, slimming and perfect for my body type (short & curvy), but most of all the lacey trim–loved the trim!

I can’t wait to show you the images from their wedding in Austin!

Joy and Michael’s Engagement Session – Museum District

Posted on May 2, 2012

Joy and Michael live in New York but are having their wedding here in Houston. They were in town for a visit so we were able to meet up and shoot their engagement photos in the museum district. These guys are a great couple! Make sure to read their love story at the end of the post and check out their videos too! I especially love the one of Joy as a little girl singing her heart out!

Q. Where did you meet?
A. In Miami while vacationing over spring break. Little did we know that we each went to Emory University!

Q. What was your first impression of him?
A. Sweet and funny. He held my hand as we crossed the street!

Q. What was your first impression of her?
A. There’s no chance this girl is single… but if she is I’m going to get her and never let her go.

Q. What did you do for your first date?
A. Went for tapas at Eclipse d’Luna in Atlanta and shared a pitcher of sangria.

Q. When did you know he was the one?
A. After we spent my entire sorority formal weekend together, he dropped me off but didn’t want to let me go. Before I even grabbed my bags, he asked me what my plans for the night were and asked me out for dinner. I knew he enjoyed hanging out with me as much as I did with him, and from there, we each booked flights to visit each other in our hometowns that summer – just weeks later. He came to meet my family in Houston – his first trip to Texas – and I went to NY, where his mother claimed she knew I was “the one” during that visit.

Q. When did you know she was the one?
A. Joy has this cute/perky side to her that I can’t resist. It was evident even in her early years…..

Q. How did he pop the question?
A. At a beautiful vineyard in the Hamptons. As we walked from the gazebo to the tasting room, he told me he hadn’t yet told my parents and that I could now call to tell them the good news. As I was dialing their number, my whole family – parents and brother from Houston and sister, brother-in-law and niece from San Francisco – and his parents and siblings surprised me!  We then had a full weekend in the Hamptons, followed by a pool party with our best friends the next day. It was perfect!

Q. What do you love the most about him?
A. His sincerity, generosity, and passion for the things he loves. I could sit with him all day in our apartment and be perfectly happy!

Q. What do you love the most about her?
A. She is the most loyal, trustworthy person I have ever met in my entire life.

Q. Does he have any funny quirks?
A. Yes, I think we each definitely have our silly moments!

Q. Does she have any funny quirks?
A. First off, she has the caffeine tolerance of a 3 year old after 1 skittle. When she becomes a bit “excited” she performs dances that are funny and unique to who Joy is. Her brother knows what I mean.

Q. What is the biggest challenge you’ve faced together?
A. Probably our two year long distance relationship while Joy was still at college and Michael had graduated and moved to NYC – 5 months of which Joy was abroad in Spain.

Q. What’s the secret to your happy relationship?
A. Our understanding of one another. We love to travel together and go to romantic dinners!

Q. Is there anything else you would like to share?  :)
A. This video shows how emotional Joy was when her family surprised her right after we got engaged!

Lacie’s Bridals – Hotel Zaza & Hermann Park

Posted on May 1, 2012

Now that Lacie and PJ’s wedding is over, I’m glad I’m able to finally show you Lacie’s bridal portraits. We started her shoot at Hotel ZaZa where we got some great indoor shots. Then we moved to Hermann Park where we were able to capture some great moments at sunset with that beautiful golden light that makes you swoon!

From Lacie:

The day that I found my wedding dress, I was with my mom and my wedding planner. I had just flown in from visiting my future in-laws in Kansas, and was eager to try on some dresses!! All I knew going into my first dress appointment was that I was leaning towards mermaid cuts. I had no idea of the types of fabrics or necklines that I liked, or whether I wanted a train or not. I probably tried on about 8 dresses before I tried on my dress at that first store, of course I didn’t know at the time that that was my dress. When I put it on, I immediately felt sexy. I fell in love with the sweetheart neckline, and the shimmery iridescent quality of the fabric. It also did wonders for my figure, and the belt that we paired with it was gorgeous. I spent a long time in that dress before I took it off, and tried on one more that would also end up being a final contender. It was easy for me to leave the store and continue looking because I wanted to see all of my options before I chose my dress. Over the course of the next week, we went to 4 more wedding dress shops, and I found only 1 more dress that was a competitor. I had narrowed it down to 3 possible dresses, and I was having a very hard time deciding until I realized something: I was comparing all the other dresses to the one I had fallen in love with at the first store.

I’ve never been a big believer of the whole “you’ll know when you put it on” wedding dress mantra that everyone seems to adhere to. Interestingly enough, when I tried on the dress that would inevitably be the one I chose, I had an immediate feeling that can only be described as ‘wow’. Looking back on the whole experience has made me realize that that ‘wow’ feeling was indeed the same famous feeling that most brides get when they find ‘the one’. The funny thing is that the people who were intricately involved in helping me find my dress apparently knew the whole time that that was going to be the dress that I chose. I guess I was really hard-set on not being another girl who “knew when I put it on”, but make no mistake…..I totally knew when I put that dress on that it was the one.

Steve Bozeman : Hey! I was with you and Emily and your Mom in spirit! Looking at pictures of all the dresses and was so thrilled when you chose "the one.". It was my favorite, but I didn't want to influence your choice. Bottom line with me was always that this was about you! Nice thing is that you would look stunning in a paper sack!!! Love you!! Bozie

Robyn : Lacie was the most beautiful bride I have ever seen! Yes, the dress was AMAZING, the flowers were gorgeous, the whole wedding was spectacular!!! Although, what made the wedding the best weeding, was being in the presence of true love! LaCie and PJ, I wish you many happy years together!!! With all my Love, Robyn

Jakke Röntynen : Hi Adam, You have very lovely photos on your blog! Best regards Jakke from Sweden

Karin : I love these! Lacie looks gorgeous. The shot with the boots is my favorite!

Obinna Azubuko : You were a beautiful bride! I had a great time at the wedding. Oh and the pic with the boots are my fav too


Meet Hannah, The New “Brains of the Operation”

Posted on April 13, 2012

Hi everyone! Nice to meet you. I’m Hannah Bunker, Adam’s new studio manager. Actually I think the official job title is The Brains of the Operation, which is always fun to tell people when they ask what I do. But you can call me Rocket, or Bananameister, or Awesomesauce, or you can just stick with The Brain…that’s cool too. I’ve taken over for Courtney and those are definitely some big shoes to fill! That girl is awesome!

Adam and I decided it would be a nice touch for you all to get to know me a little bit and because I appreciate a grand entrance I decided to hi-jack an entire blog post just to talk about ME. Muahahaha! We agreed to meet up and do a little blog interview in order to help you get to know me better. But I was quick to observe, it’s a little hard to pin Adam down. Maybe he can interview me once he’s done editing pictures, or back from a shoot, or finished eating his sandwich, or drinking his fancy coffee.

Until then, it looks like I’ll have to take matters into my own hands and interview myself, pretending to be Adam. Just imagine that it’s really him conducting the interview.

The interview begins…NOW!

Adam: Hi Hannah, you’re looking lovely today. Did you get a haircut? I notice those kinds of things because I’m cool like that.

Hannah: Thanks, Adam. And yes I did just get a hair cut but it was only a trim.

Adam: That’s what I thought. Are you a natural red-head? It’s so lovely.

Hannah: Yes I am.

Adam: They say that most red-heads are hot-headed. But you probably don’t have a temper, right? Because you’re the nicest person I know.

Hannah: No, I don’t have a temper at all.

Adam: If I were going to buy you a present for absolutely no reason at all what could I buy you?

Hannah: Oh, let’s see…anything with an Apple on it or anything that can take pictures.

Adam: Hold on just a second, let me just jot that down on my ipad. I want to remember that come Christmas time.

*The REAL Adam takes over*

Real Adam: Okay, I’m here. I decided to put down my camera once I saw “Buy Hannah an iPad 3″ on my task list. :) Seriously, I’m excited to have you here, Hannah! First off let’s start with telling everyone how we know each other.

Hannah: Well, you and my husband go way back…all the way back to taking road trips to Waco and belting out the Moulin Rouge soundtrack. Every time he and I sing the Elephant Medley, he’s not thinking about me. He’s thinking about you, buddy. haha! Did I say too much? ;) But yeah, you and Aaron have been friends for a long time and then I joined the picture about six years ago and we’ve all been friends ever since.

Real Adam: What are you most excited about doing in your new position?

Hannah: Working with all of your awesome clients during a very special time in their lives! I remember how excited I was to plan my wedding and I’m glad to be able to share their excitement with them as they are planning theirs.

Real Adam: What is advice you have to offer couples in regards to their wedding day?

Hannah: Make a conscious effort to absorb every little detail because the day truly does fly by. There’s all this preparation and then the day is over in the blink of an eye and you’re left thinking, “All that planning for this?” It’s crazy! The day could end up being a blur, so I always tell people to focus on absorbing the moment instead of looking forward to the next, take mental snapshots, and remember that at the end of the day what matters is that you and your spouse are married!

Real Adam: If you could do one thing from your wedding over again, what would it be?

Hannah: My husband, Aaron, and I have talked about this a million times! No joke, this is not just because I work for you because I have been saying this since our wedding day; I wish we would have hired a high-quality, creative photographer! Of course we would have hired you but you were in the wedding. It’s really not cliche when they say, you get what you pay for; We didn’t pay very much and we got mediocre photos from photographers who didn’t even know our names when they showed up to start taking pictures. I wish we wouldn’t have skimped on the photography budget because in hind-sight I realize that’s one of the most important details. Choosing a photographer is a big decision because they are the one in charge of telling the story from your special day and creating memories that you’ll look back on in the years to come. In the end you have your spouse, your marriage, and your pictures. So pick a great spouse and pick a great photographer.

Real Adam: What are a few things that really move you and inspire you?

Hannah: Creativity! I’m a creative person and love taking on creative projects! I love telling stories. I’m very passionate about writing and about photography and insanely passionate about telling stories using those two mediums.

Real Adam: If you could be on any TV show what would it be?

Hannah: That’s a dead tie between SNL and 30 Rock. I have a serious talent crush on Tina Fey and I’m a little obsessed with SNL and sketch comedy humor, so I can’t choose between those two.

Real Adam: What is your guilty pleasure?

Hannah: Blogging, eating out and trying new restaurants, fancy coffee, thrifting, and antiques.

Real Adam: Would you rather be a ninja or a pirate?

Hannah: A pirate. So I can intimidate people with my eye patch.

For all my amazing clients (and clients-to-be) — look forward to meeting Hannah! In the meantime you can drop her a line at thebrain@nyholt.com and say hi!
