There is so much love in Houston and luckily our city has some of the best photographers in the world capturing those emotions at just the right moment. Below you’ll find a collection of some of the most heart warming photos from in and around Houston captured by some of the city’s most talented photographers.

2017 was eventful to say the least! From eclipses, to hurricanes, to world series championships, to snow, Houston has seen high highs and low lows. We’ve been so encouraged by the camaraderie we have seen through it all, and if nothing else, we hope that portion carries forward with us into the new year. We have a big year coming up in 2018 and we are really excited to work with some amazing brides and grooms. Here’s to a prosperous year filled with Joy and Love!⠀ ⠀

One of our favorite things about this time of year? All of the LIGHTS! There’s something so magical about it. This was the first year we put up lights outside and it has been so fun to see the creativity of all of our new neighbors in decorating their homes! #glenbrookvalley #itschristmastime

1 year down and many more to go!! I wanted to take the time out to say Happy Anniversary to the one who still make me smile, the one who is always warm, kind, intelligent, hardworking. You have pushed me to become more than a better person. Last but not least I am beyond grateful to stand beside you throughout our adventures that we have experience and continue to experience and also to annoy you for the rest of our lives. Thank you for all that you do for us.

When we found out we were pregnant 🤰🏼 we were so nervous to tell this sweet couple! Their wedding date is a little before our baby girl’s expected arrival 🙈 Ekk! But thank God for incredible client’s like @gabitrebino & @kyle_matthew_mcclain 🙌🏻🙏🏻 They were so kind, so understanding & happy for us! Believe it or not, she actually had a dream on July 9th that I was pregnant and couldn’t shoot her wedding! We found out on July 10th! Is that crazy or what?!? 😜 Thankfully we have a big enough team that we will still get to serve these lovebirds come March but man what a blessing to have couples like them! Gabi & Kyle, we can’t wait for March! 😍💍👰🏼🤵🏼💕 Planning by our sweet friend @weddingsbyjessee | HMU by the lovely @sunkissedandmadeup #sunkissedandmadeup #cottonweddings #cottoncouplesinlove #houstonweddingphotographer #houstonengagementphotographer #houstonweddings #bridesofhouston #weddingsbyjessee

The Julia Ideson building has one of the amazing architectural backgrounds in the Downtown Houston area. Example of its potential is in this shot from Tito & Tina’s engagement session.
