Bianca and Marcos had an amazing wedding at Southwest School of Art with a #DiaDeLosGonzales theme. Red roses, halloween treats, pumpkins, and twisted branches set the scene for the haunted nuptials. Rene Esparza of Texas Wedding Ministers offered their beautiful love story during the ceremony. Anne Marie's Catering put together a decadent dinner scene with amazing food and drink and Lumen Events ensured the party stayed fresh all night long. Congratulations to Bianca and Marcos! It was our pleasure to capture this amazing night for you.  Hear their love story and see their romantic wedding day in the wedding film captured by Aria Productions!

I was just thinking to myself the other day, I have a lot of greens in my work.  If I walk into a store and see a random product in green, my tendency is to buy it because it is GREEN.  I'm also very particular about how I choose to edit my greens in my work.  I've noticed that many publications use wedding photos with very muted greens, more mint or sage than how I really see them.  I love bold greens to punch through.  Green means life, love, happiness to me.  This color truely makes my heart sing!  So I'm excited to hear the color Greenery has been selected as the 2017 Pantone Color of the Year!!!

Do you know what this means?  It means I will be in heaven when I get to shoot green wedding details, and choose emerald maternity gowns, and shoot emerald engagement rings and wrap my newborns in greenery inspired mohair knits!  2017 is going to be a beautiful year!

Working with Ellen and Johan the passed year has been such a dream.  They are such an extraordinary couple, always open to new things, food, travel and building their lives together in Houston, Texas.  I enjoyed photographing their engagement session, and I knew this would be a beautiful wedding.  Ellen and her bridesmaids got ready at The Menger Hotel.  It was a relaxed morning made all the better by the mother of the bride, Martha who had planned everything so perfectly including making sure there was plenty of delicious food to snack on and keep the energy up.  

The couple were married by their home parish priests at Our Lady of Grace Catholic Church in San Antonio, Texas.  After their beautiful catholic ceremony they joined their guests at The Witte Museum for a delicious dinner and a fun night of entertainment by Lumen Events.  It was a perfect evening before Ellen and Johan escaped for their Italian honeymoon.  See a few highlights from their wedding below and leave them some love in the comments.
