Houston Senior Photographer: Paige

Last week, I got to spend the afternoon photographing Paige, a very down-to-earth senior at Ashelynn Manor. So down-to-earth that her entire session was done barefoot.

Here are a couple favorites. Thanks for waiting so patiently Paige.

Tad Akers Wedding Photography: Melinda and Caleb

When I think of Melinda and Caleb, I think of friends- genuine and just sweet as a button. Although there were a few bumps in the road during their planning, they were able to find a new venue that worked great for them. 

When I see Melinda and Caleb together, my heart just melts because I can see how in love they are with each other. :)

I am so appreciative to Melinda, Caleb and her mom Norma for just making me feel right at home with their wonderful family!!  Your next Norma!! :)

Here is a list of their incredible vendors:

Houston Engagement Photographer: Erica and Michael

They meet in high school, but it wasn’t until a college visit took Erica to Yale where Michael attended did they get back in contact.  

Last week I had an incredible time with Erica and Michael at their engagement session. Erica had planned out where she wanted to shoot so everything had significance to them as a couple. First kisses and dates are always fun to recreate. We started at her parent’s house, where they sealed it with a kiss on their second date.

They are planning a June wedding at the incredible Magnolia Hotel in Downtown Houston. I’m excited!!

[W] News #27

Spring Break was wonderful and even though I didn’t really relax I had a wonderful time.

As you saw the photos below, I attended my cousin’s wedding in Guadalajara and then on the Wedrocker’s workshop. I only made it to day two, but it was worth it.  I would recommend it. Wedrockers 103 coming soon I hope.

My two weddings for the month have happened. I will blog about Caleb and Melinda’s soon.

I had a freakin’ amazing time with them and their incredibly fun bridal party.
