A Tiffany & Co. Inspired Enchanted Cypress Ballroom Wedding

The room was full, but the air was calm. Family and friends were busy preparing themselves around the room as Laura sat calmly, passing the time. Soon, she would be joined with the man that had been a part of her life since they were just teenagers.


A few floors above Laura, Damond and the guys were getting suited up.


Once hair and makeup were completed, Laura headed over to the Enchanted Cypress Ballroom to complete her transformation from fiancée to bride.








After all the preparation, the time had come to take that walk down the aisle.



After Laura & Damond's beautiful ceremony, we were able to sneak away for a few portraits. I've been told that I'm a bit of a shoe fanatic, but what can I say? My brides and grooms put a lot of thought into every detail of their day and I want to ensure that they have memories of it all.




When I walked into Enchanted Cypress Ballroom's reception space, I was absolutely blown away. The Tiffany & Co. inspired touches around the room were stunning and provided a beautiful backdrop for Laura & Damond's celebration.








It was a lovely night shared with family and friends. And once the dancing started, it did not stop until the guests made their way into the night.








Laura & Damond, thank you for allowing me to witness your beautiful day. May God bless you with many years of life, love and happiness together. Live in Love!

Texas-Sized Love {Laura & Damond's Houston Engagement}

I had the pleasure of meeting Laura for the first time over drinks & appetizers at Papasito's. We had an easy conversation about her family, her travels and her wedding plans. It was almost like catching up with an old friend.

Even though our initial date for Laura & Damond's engagement session got rescheduled due to rain, we had a blast. Damond tried to tell me he wasn't to into taking photos, but by the end of the session, he was the one coming up with shot ideas! Nice work, Damond!








It was a typical HOT Houston day, so we decided to stop for some frozen yogurt before heading back to the house for a quick outfit change.



Both Laura & Damond are huge Texans fans, so it was only appropriate that they wanted to wear their jerseys for a portion of their session. Such a cute idea.







Stay tuned for coverage of their beautiful Tiffany & Co. inspired Houston wedding, coming soon!

Live in Love,
