St George Orthodox Christian Church and Alden Hotel Houston Wedding Photography – Johanna + Jimmy

serendipity — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 15:56:07 +0000

Johanna and Jimmy don’t need any introductions. By now, their wedding pictures should be all over Texas in bookstores, newsstands, and grocery stores. Basically, anywhere that carries The Knot Texas Magazine. The wedding was so amazing, and it wouldn’t happen without some of the Houston’s prestigious vendors including Alden Hotel, Darryl and Co, Plants n Petals, The Perfect Face, International DJ Sounds, Cakes by Gina, and etc. So many of them wanted their wedding images for their portfolio. We are very lucky to be a part of this incredible day and able to capture all the wonderful moments on “film”!

The wedding preparation started in the morning at the bride’s home. What a gorgeous Amsale gown!

A sweet moment of the girls and mom help fixing the bridal gown.

Mom can’t believe how beautiful Johanna looks!

Amazing setup with lounge area in the back.

First dance. Johanna couldn’t help but take a peek at the chandeliers Darryl & Co. put together!

Northwest Forest and Kim Son Wedding Photography – Thuy + John

serendipity — Mon, 14 Jun 2010 23:34:04 +0000

If you haven’t met Thuy and John, you can check out their engagement pictures HERE. Thuy and John had an outdoor ceremony at the beautiful Northwest Forest Conference Center and restaurant reception at the ever so popular Kim Son Restaurant. This is the first time we worked and met with T-Square Production and absolutely loved them! If you want super creative video on your wedding day, they are it!! At the end of this post you can check out a highlight video they put together.

Thuy’s Vietnamese, John’s Korean. Thuy had to change 3 times throughout the day!

Thuy had to take a little nap before getting ready, I think they went out partying until really late the night before. Who knew getting married was such hard work

That is a perfect groom’s cake for John…because he owns a hamburger restaurant!

Sweet first dance!

Fung’s Kitchen Houston Vietnamese Wedding Photography – Doan + Andy

serendipity — Wed, 26 May 2010 16:26:38 +0000

Doan and Andy are both architects; they know a thing or two about designing. We thought for sure they were going to pull off an creative and fun wedding. After shooting Doan and Andy’s engagement session and gotten to know them a little better, we knew they were not going to disappoint us They actually made a hilarious movie to show their wedding guest how they met and fell in love with each other. The link is at the end of this blog, don’t forget to check it out! Enjoy!

After the tea ceremony, we head over to Fung’s Kitchen for the reception. It’s one of the most popular reception venues for Vietnamese weddings.

If you watch the video (link at the end of this post) you will know the story behind this cake.

During Vietnamese wedding reception, the bride and groom always walk the tables to collect their gift money. Sometimes they have to play silly games to earn it

A surprise performance by their fun, crazy friends!

First dance!

Doan is super flexible from all her martial art practices!

This is a great game for the reception. It always gets the crowd going!

Here is the movie Doan and Andy put together. It’s awesome!!!
