Mofei & Stephen

This weekend I photographed Mofei and Stephen for their wedding coming up on November 10th. Somehow, we managed to dodge the rain and have a good time in the process.

Jennifer and Rolando's Wedding

This weekend I was excited to get to assist Gloria and Meg from Stamper Photography at one of their weddings. Jennifer and Rolando were married in a beautiful outdoor ceremony at Hermann Park, followed by a wonderful reception downtown at the Majestic Metro.

Here are some of my favorite images that I captured from the wedding. I think you will quickly be able to see how Jennifer and Rolando are such a great couple!

Making sure that ring is on!

And they are married!

Time for some photos after the ceremony...

The Majestic Metro used to be an old movie theatre, so they always put the names of the couple on their marquee.

The "stars" are announced, greeted by all their family and friends!

Old Stockholm, Sweden

I've been so busy editing weddings lately I haven't been able to update my blog. However, I wanted to go back and re-visit a recent trip to Stockholm from Paul and Sylvia's wedding in April.

Lindsay and Warren's Wedding...

Here are a few images from Lindsay and Warren's fabulous wedding at the Petroleum Club in downtown Houston. Wedding planner Robert Shipman of Haute Soiree did a great job of putting everything together and making sure everyone had a wonderful time.

From the Arctic Circle to Las Vegas to....Ledbetter, Texas???

One of the best things about being a photographer is getting to travel all over the world. It's hard to believe just a few weeks ago I was photographing Paul and Sylvia's wedding ceremony in Jukkasjarvi, Sweden - about 200 miles north of the Arctic circle. Then, it was on to Las Vegas, and then, I find myself in Ledbetter, Texas on my way back from Austin. What's in Ledbetter? Well, nothing really. But I did spot this abandoned tow truck left in some weeds behind an antique store. Look at that tree growing up from beneath the truck. How old is that tree - 20 years maybe?

It's about as far from Vegas as is possible to get, I think!

This is my second time to post photos of an abandoned truck on my blog. I'm not sure why I like to take photos of abandoned trucks....

W.H.I.V.S.I.V.

This past weekend was one of the most fun I've ever had as I got to photograph a private party in Las Vegas! The city was even more wild than usual as this was the big Oscar de la Hoya/Floyd Mayweather fight weekend. Celebrities from all over the country were in town for the big boxing match.


Here is the view from the balcony of the exclusive House of Blues high atop Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino where just some of the activities occurred. Unfortunately, this is the only image I can show you because, as you know, What Happens in Vegas.....

Scotland, Sweden and Morocco Update

I have uploaded images from the wedding ceremony in Jukkasjarvi, Sweden onto my regular webite. (www.newhorizonweddingimagery.com) The ceremony was so unique, so different, that I hope everyone will visit my site to see the images. It was so much fun to experience such a wedding ceremony.

The entire chapel was made out of ice! The seats, windows, altar, everything! There was not even carpet on the ground.The ground was ice too! We all had to be very careful walking.

The temperature never gets anywhere close to above freezing for about 9 months of the year, even during the daytime, so there is no danger of the chapel melting. The season ends sometime in late April of each year, then begins again the following September when the temperature remains below freezing for the next 9 months.

I have not had time to upload the images from the reception in Morocco yet, or the images from Edinbourg Castle in Scotland. I hope you will enjoy the images from Sweden for now and I will have the others up as soon as possible. However, I have a lot of weddings to edit that I must complete first.

The Big European Wedding Adventure Begins!

I leave for the airport today to photograph Sylvia and Paul's amazing European wedding! We will be shooting Engagement photos at several Scottish castles, followed a couple of days later by a wedding ceremony in Kiruna, Sweden at an Ice Hotel. Then, a couple of days after the ceremony, the entire wedding party and guests will travel to Marrakech, Morocco for the magnificent reception at a villa on the Meditteranean.

Please visit my blog over the next 2 weeks as I will try to update the blog with a description of the events and possibly even some photos.

I will be back in Houston on April 12th, and I'm sure I will have tons of great photographs to share with everyone!
