Melissa Botard Bridals

We took Melissa's bridal portraits at the elegant Rice University. I must admit it's quickly becoming one of my favorite spots for bridal pics in Houston. Only because I am a succor for arches and it's amazing corridors lined with them! The evening light warmed up the stone and brick, and in some places the cool colors of the shade added an interesting contrast. Light is amazing!!! Melissa is very photogenic, so shooting her photos were just a matter of placing her where we wanted. She looked beautiful in her all lace wedding gown and wore it with grace. Enjoy some of my favorite bridal pics and watch for the wedding pictures!

Time to Party: Melissa & Justin's Wedding

And what a party it was! Melissa and Justin threw a wonderful wedding for their family, friends and guests during their May wedding. I love that they're always laughing and having a good time and their faces show it all! We really enjoyed ourselves and had a great time shooting the wedding day events with Melissa & Justin. These two really know how to party!!!

Melissa + Matthew

I would like to say they were high school sweethearts . . . but Melissa and Matthew's budding romance didn't begin until their college years. I'll just pretend the first glances somewhere in the halls of the high school sparked an interest that grew into the love they have today! : )

They decided to have their engagement photos taken in Galveston, close to their hometown. I love all the shots on the beach and beneath the pier--it totally fits their personality. We're excited for your June wedding!!!
