Bridal Portrait

4.26.10 Maegan's Bridal session by Melanie Grizzel

We shot Maegan's Bridal quite a long while ago and I was in love with the results since them.
She was looking for something a little film noir. So we did a lot of research to find the right imagery to make it come across well. Here was out idea board. I think our results were outstanding, and man does she wear that dress? What a beauty!
Their wedding was this weekend and as always we are a couple of weddings away still so we'll have something to post soon.
So in the mean time, a little to whet your whistle.
plus a note about our location!! This is Hacienda del Lago.  Just look at this place?! The place is amazing and picturesque but they also have the greatest staff I've had the pleasure of working with. For this particular shoot we were running later than we planned,  trying to get all of these awesome shots in and Tom the owner handed us a key and let us stay as long as we needed. You see?! the best staff in 4 counties. I'm a big fan. Thank you guys.
As always you can see more on facebook
Thanks for looking.

Samantha + Scott Married! by Melanie Grizzel

Can you believe it!?
Sam is our bride from the crazy Bachelorette Party you'll be able to see more of on Off Beat Bride in a week or 2. The wedding was so perfect, exactly the way they imagined it. They married in beautiful St. Mary's Catholic Church in Brenham, Tx,  followed by an afternoon reception at Brenham's country club. Instead of a first dance, our couple competed in their first DDR dance off, they provided a Blue Bell ice cream bar, and hand-made assorted sushi out of candy for their favors. S+S started making origami cranes for their decor.  Along the way they read somewhere that 100o folded birds represents good luck. They bought paper and enlisted their friends to help them reach their goal, they considered this to be a collective good luck charm from their friends and family for their new marriage. We had such a blast with them. I hope they renew their vows next year!

10-3-09 Nancy's Bridal by Melanie Grizzel

Nancy's mom is suffering from cancer and we wanted to make sure that we got many, many pictures of her at the wedding but in her advanced stage she gets very tired now and we were concerned that she might not be up for it on Nancy's wedding day, today.
Nancy opted to include her mom in her bridal session and here are the images from Hacienda del Lago,  in Asutin, Tx.
 Guess what!! the Polka Dot Bride also picked up this story and ran it on her blog. If ou haven't seen it alreayd you must, must must see it. It's an important tool in any wedding planning arsenal.
