Shelby's Bridals at the Courtyard on St. James

JEREMY... DON'T PEEK!!!

Steve and I shot Shelby's Bridals on Sunday afternoon at the Courtyard on St. James near the Houston Galleria and it couldn't have come out better. We started off shooting some inside stuff, then moved to this fantastic balcony and ended up with several stunning shots of Shelby and her gorgeous dress. 

Shelby is such an awesome girl and if the wedding is anything like the bridal session, then we are in for a rockin time. Thanks to Shelby for letting us post a few before her June wedding. We'll be back at this spot again to kick it at her reception in a little more than a month.  

Take a look.























































Security guards and a sandy dog

Kristin and David got engaged at the water wall near the Galleria so they thought that would be a great place to start their engagement shoot. Unfortunately, Dan and I tend to attract law enforcement when we shoot engagement photos (click the link for an example). So sure enough, as soon as we started shooting, we were asked to leave by a security guard. Despite the fact that half the people at the place were taking photos, the security guard explained that because we were using "professional" cameras that our photography was against the rules. Apparently size does matter. :)

So we headed to the warehouse district where we got some urban style photos.





Until we were asked to leave by a security guard.


So we headed to the lawless frontier of Surfside beach.


We brought along their dog Duke who loves to give wet willies.


The surfers thought we were a little nuts for splashing around in the waves but I'll take the inquisitive stare of a surfer over getting chased off by Joe Law every time.



Can't wait for the wedding guys, thanks for being such good sports!
