Stephie & Patrick’s Wedding at The Junior League of Houston

This wedding at The Junior League in Houston was so beautiful! It is such a classic venue and it was perfect for Stephie and Patrick’ s wedding day! Throughout the entire wedding this couple was incredibly in the moment which I loved! That made a big impact on their gallery! One of my favorite parts of the wedding day was their reception! They did it non-traditionally by having it be a cocktail style with a buffet of amazing food. No assigned tables nor formal sit down for dinner. It was very cool and had the best vibes. There was a live artist outside too!

Getting Ready with Stephie

The day started with Stephie getting ready at St. Regis Houston with her bridesmaids! They had the cutest matching sets! She then read a card from Patrick that was so sweet! I captured photos as Stephie slipped into her dress, which gave such a classic vibe.

Ceremony at Saint Anne Houston

The ceremony at Saint Anne Houston was so beautiful! There’s just something about getting married in a beautiful church like this one that makes everything more special.

The Wedding Party

Stephie and Patrick they had a lot of fun with their wedding party! I loved the colors of the bridesmaid dresses. One of Stephie’s bridesmaids is actually one of my brides as well! After the portraits, there was a party bus that took them to and from the venues which we all loved!

Stephie & Patrick’s Portraits at The Junior League of Houston

I just loved Stephie and Patrick’s outdoor bridal portraits against the backdrop of St. Annes in Houston. Stephie’s veil definitely stood out and complimented her dress perfectly. Capturing photos in both the classic church architecture and the outdoor lighting gave a good contrast!

The Reception at The Junior League of Houston

My favorite part of the entire day was the reception because of the non-traditional vibe it had! The cocktail style reception was a hit and the blue decor throughout the wedding was so beautiful. Once the dance floor opened the reception got so lively! They cut their cake and continued the night dancing until it was time for their grand exit! Their guests threw petals at them and exited with the cutest umbrellas.
