Ashelynn Manor Wedding Photography: Lindsay and Lonnie

Joanna — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 13:14:58 +0000

A beautiful woman was joined in matrimony with a sweet, gentle man on a sunny Friday evening. Lindsay was glowing all day, but her eyes sparkled when she saw Lonnie. Everything ran smoothly as the girls fluttered around the rooms at Ashelynn Manor helping Lindsay get ready. I felt so happy for them.

I loved Lindsay and Lonnie and their families. They made me feel so welcome.

I loved the detail in Lindsay’s bouquet. Imagine That!, wrapped a piece of her grandmother’s wedding veil around the bouquet.

The gorgeous bride.

A look at the cutest flower girl ever.

Meet Lonnie.

My view.

I’m going to post this one from the guys instead of the PG-13 photo they decided to pull for my assistant. Poor girl.

Husband and wife, you may kiss your bride!

The sunlight after the ceremony was marvelous.

These were some nicely designed cakes. Photos by Michaelle. Cakes by Lisa Barcelona, (281) 370-9425.

Thank you so much for trusting me with your day. I had a wonderful time capturing all the details and the love.

This post is long over due, but thanks to Christa and Roy for being so patient with me.

Their wedding was on a freezing cold day in March but that didn’t stop them from having the wedding of their dreams. Surrounded by friends and family, Christa and Roy were united in holy matrimony at Christ the King Catholic Church followed by a beautiful reception.

Here are a few of my favorites.

Have a great weekend!

Dream Bouquet decor at Hotel Zaza Wedding

Joanna — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 14:16:12 +0000

One of the great things of being a photographer is photographing all the details that brides spend so much time planning for their wedding. You may already have an idea in mind, but if you don’t you can talk with your florist and come up with some wonderful ideas.

I was able to photograph these wedding details at Hotel Zaza with beautiful centerpieces by the wonderful Rebekah Graves of Dream Bouquet.

For more information in Dream Bouquet visit their website or give them a call at 713.383.6900.

The Wedding Album

Joanna — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 14:00:19 +0000

After the cake is cut, the last dance is done and you return from your honeymoon the one thing you are most excited about is getting your wedding photos. To relive the day from beginning to end. From the getting ready details to the reception details. Your wedding album is your first family heirloom. The album you will show at family reunions and the album your children will flip through a million times.

At JTG STUDIO, everything is done in house. I meet with you for your initial consultation, you book the date. I photograph your engagement and bridal session. The wedding day goes by smoothly as you are working it for the camera. After all the other sessions, you feel so relaxed it’s as if I’m just a good friend with a really nice camera. While you are away on your honeymoon, I sort through all the photos and narrow them down to an average of 400-600 pictures. The wedding album is designed in house as well. I create an album that will stand the test of time, without flourishes and stamps that will date your album. You will receive an elegant, clean crisp design telling the story of your wedding day.

My favorite part (after taking the photos) is seeing the bride and groom flip through the album and just falling in love all over again, laughing and reminiscing on how wonderful their day was.

Here are some photos of a recent album. It is an 11×14 album, with a cocoa leather cover and a champagne accent strap.

The 8×6 cover photo is made out of metal.

Want more information on how you can have JTG STUDIO shoot your wedding, Contact Me.

Do you see some foreshadowing?

Incase you are wondering, here is Sory and Oscar’s album design.

Photobooth at weddings has been a trend for a while now and it has caught up in the Houston market. We have started offering this service to our brides and the response has been great.

My style of shooting weddings is more photojournalistic and candid. The photobooth at your wedding reception allows for a more posed shots, things get a little crazy. This is a good opportunity for guest to take a photo with different props. Guest can get creative when it comes to the booth. Instead of going table per table and getting shots of guest, they can step into the photobooth. This allows me to capture the candid moments on the dance floor, while my assistant is capturing the posed photographs of the guest who wouldn’t be in the photographs because they are not in the action. A win, win situation!!

Contact me if you are interested in having a photobooth at your reception.

Here are a few photos from Sory and Oscar’s photobooth at their November wedding. To view their wedding photos click here and here.

Augusta Pines Wedding Photography: Joel and Adriane

Joanna — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 19:05:13 +0000

After a beautiful ceremony at St. Anthony of Padua in the Woodlands, the bride and groom and their guest celebrated at Augusta Pines Country Club. Their centerpieces were very original. Coordinating with the wedding colors, the 3 tier presents adorned each table. How about that for a diy!

Augusta Pines Country Club
18 Augusta Pines Drive
Spring, Tx 77389
(281) 290-1958

Here are some photos from their reception. To see the first part of their wedding, click here.

I love the motion in this entrance shot by my assistant Gil. Pure, simple romance captured.

Their cakes were done by Lindy’s Country Cupboard Cakes. (281) 353-2670?

Here are the centerpieces I was talking about earlier.

Just before we lost all the light, Adriane and Joel snuck out for some photos around the club. Love these two shots.

Then the dancing started…all night long.

And then you know what they say if you catch the bouquet, right?! You get engaged and that’s exactly what happened to Miss Kelly.

And for the grand exit, the couple was showered with snowflakes. Perfect for their winter wedding.

Thank you Adriane and Joel for a wonderful time and for trusting me with your memories. Hugs!

The Woodlands Wedding Photography: Joel and Adriane

Joanna — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 14:48:10 +0000

Surrounded by their loving families and friends, Joel and Adriane were united in matrimony at St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Church in the Woodlands. The day started with hair preparation for the bride and her beautiful bridesmaids. They finished her make up on time and carefully slipped on her dress. Adriane was glowing, you couldn’t erase her smile.

Here are my favorites from their wedding day.

A relaxed portrait of the bride. Flowers by The Blooming Idea.

I love this simple and laid back shot of the girls having a great time before the ceremony.

Now meet the groom, Joel.

And his groomsmen!

The next two images were taken by my assistant, Gil. Both shots are very photojournalistic.

Right after the ceremony we captured some fun and intimate moments between the newlyweds.

I played around with the post processing and gave it an antique look. Love the result.
