Houston Formal Engagement Session

Session Date: March 28, 2010

Stalkers, Quyen and Tony tied the knot last weekend and had an incredible party - but even before all that - I met up with them for their formal portrait session around Houston. Who knew that day I would run into a big meadow of bluebonnets...in HOUSTON no less.

Stalkers, meet Quyen and Tony - and my meadow of bluebonnets! (This is my favorite image from their session!!!)

Quyen and Tony - Pink Posh Houston Bridal and Groom Portraits

We started the shoot around downtown and couldn't resist shooting in this eclectic little area with a purple jeweled piano!

They are absolutely adorable with each other! :)

Quyen ended up using this image for her sign-in! LOVE!

So, during the shoot...there was a lot of debate whether or not to "pick" the bluebonnet and the legality of it. Stalkers, I wanted to tell you that we looked up the law and it is totally on the up and up for you to pick bluebonnets - you just can't trespass on people's property when you are doing it!

Look at this GLORIOUS field of blues. It didn't last very long. When I came back two weeks later...all of this was gone!

Love. Love. Love.

Tam + Tony : Engaged Friday, April 23, 2010 |

Austin Engagement Portrait Session
Session Date: March 26, 2010

Stalkers, I have to admit one of the perks of my job are all the new people I to meet. And the best part of that - are when our couples also become our friends. Well, we are fortunate enough for this to be the case with Tam and Tony right off the bat...and it all started with a little game of bowling! Stalkers, if you don't already know - I used to want to be a professional bowler...so to find people who share the same enthusiasm - (and if you guys know me...I'm always on the lookout for another GIRL bowler) - well, it's a friendship made in bowling heaven. :) So, while the shoot started out that day around our neighborhood up in the Greater Austin area, it ended over pizza and bowling.

Stalkers, meet Tam and Tony! :)

This is an abandoned restaurant I've scoped out at the side of the freeway. :)

I heart this!

Because we didn't want to deal with the traffic to downtown...we stayed up North for the entire session. So I took them back to my oh-so-favorite places that I knew would have lots and lots of textures and gorgeous light.

L<3ve!!!>

Stalkers, meet my favorite image from the session. We were rushing to finish up this part of the shoot so that we could head out to bowling!

But, I'm glad we didn't skip it over entirely. I love this part of their shoot the best!

I heart!

Rusha + Jay : Engaged Wednesday, April 14, 2010 |

Austin Engagement Session
Session Date: March 21, 2010

Rusha is one of THOSE girls. Yes, a true to form Pink Posh stalker. She has been reading and following the blog since, well since Joyce&Shaun's wedding from September 2006. That's a LONG TIME to be stalking. But I love it though. So, when Rusha contacted me for a consult...she didn't quite have her wedding date pinpointed yet...but she knew she wanted us to be there at the wedding...so over sushi one night, we got to talking and meeting with Rusha and Jay, and we hit it off! Stalkers, it doesn't get any better than this. :) Well, their wedding is finally coming up in just a couple of months and Rusha and Jay headed out to Austin for their engagement session on one of the windiest day of the year. :)

Stalkers, meet the lovely couple Rusha and Jay. :) We started their session at the Capitol. Jay went to school in Austin, so we made sure to hit all the "Austin hotspots!"

Love this one!!!

Ya'll know we had to go here??

Thats right, the Austin postcard wall. :)

And the best cupcake place in the entire world...unfortunately, they ran out of my favorite when we got there. Too slow Mariae, too slow! :(

Stalkers, THIS is hands down my favorite shot from their entire shoot. Rusha and Jay were soooo awesome! This is parking lot gravel! Not the most comfortable spot in town. They almost got ran over by a truck who was backing out...but Thurst was able to save them in time! :)

Stalkers, ya'll do know we can't get away from the UT Stadium right?

...or the UT Tower. I thought I would give a different viewpoint of the Tower with this shot!

Rusha and Jay, I can't wait to hang with you guys in Chicago in a few weeks!!!!

Verenice and Brandon : Married Sunday, April 4, 2010 |

Austin Wedding Photography
Wedding Date: March 13, 2010
Wedding Photographers: Mariae* and Thurston*
Ceremony and Venue: The Oasis at Lake Travis
Wedding Coordinator: Beth Simpson for the Oasis
Wedding Cake: Verenice Lopez (The BRIDE!)

Stalkers, these pics of Verenice and Brandon at their amazing wedding at the Oasis are long overdue!!! It was our first week in a couple of weeks, so Thurst and I definitely were sore after the wedding ended...and with all that dancing and the amazing mariachi, who can blame us right? :)

Stalkers, meet Verenice and Brandon. This was actually shot a week after their wedding during their "Day After" session!

The Oasis had all these little stars all over the venue!

The ceremony site.

While Verenice's mom and bridesmaids were helping her get dressed...I caught Verenice dancing a little bit with the flowergirl! :)

The gorgeous bride. :)

Verenice and her girls. :)

The Boys!

I love love shooting at the Oasis. The colors are soooo yum out there. :)

Verenice and Brandon got married just right before sunset...

A bit of the sunset during the ceremony. :)

Mariachis!!

Pink and Platinum and Whites and Blacks. No wonder I love this wedding so much! (It's Pink Posh's colors after all!)

Stalkers, so when I first saw the cake, I commented to Verenice that I absolutely adored it. She told me she made it herself! And in disbelief, I told her....the black and white one. She told me, YES! And then I repeated, the black and white one...outside on the bar? Verenice, you are amazing and talented to boot!! Love. Love. Love!

The dance floor at the beginning of the night! Imagine how the end of the night would've had looked like. :oP

Their first dance. :)

Then I sneaked the couple out for some late night portraits. I think this is probably one of my favorite time during the wedding. :)

We found this LOVE sign just hanging around!!!! Absolutely perfect!

The sparklers exit! Stalkers, I'mma tell you guys something that Thurst is probably not going to be tooo happy about. I think one of the guests might have put the sparklers a little too close to him. After the wedding, he asked me if I thought his hair smelled like smoke...and although I didn't see any bald spots...a part of his hair did smell like it got caught on fire. Just part of the hazards of the job!
