Creating timeless images that are cherished for years to come. Serving Cypress, Tx and Katy, Tx and surrounding areas but available for travel

So you want to know about me? I shoot people for a living! I love photography and taking part in making memories! The smiles, the joy, the tears, everything that turns that "snapshot" into a treasured memory. I'm also Dylan and Alicia's dad, and being a father means everything to me. My children are my joy and give me focus. I am a Christian and my faith guides me as I serve others with the gift God has given me. I'm a nerd, cartoon watcher, music lover, and deep thinker. I am a local Houston Wedding Photographer that believes in offering quality, excellent service, and a personality to fit any occasion. You deserve someone that will help make your special event the memory you expect it to be. My tagline is "your life, your memories, your way". That comes from my belief in the importance of photography to my clients. "Your life" - I have been fortunate to capture several life events of repeat clients and it really brings me joy when they trust those life events - engagement, wedding, maternity, birth, family photos, graduations, etc. "Your memories" - Giving my clients quality photography that they can look back on years later

"Your way" - While I am the one with the experience, the images are yours and not my "artistic vision". As a Houston wedding photographers, I want you as my client to be comfortable during the photo session and once the images are delivered, I want you satisfied. There are a lot of wedding photographers that mask their lack of experience by using too much Photoshop on the images and you no longer look like "you". It's my job to make you look beautiful, without making you look fake. I have been a Houston wedding photographer for over 15 years (which means that you can rest easy on your wedding day because you have someone that can take care of you) and I can honestly say that each one has been different. Yes, there is emotion, there is beauty, and there is fun, but the personalities of each couple make each wedding a very unique experience and I am honored to be a part of each one. I am available to offer coverage for:

Wedding photography (Houston Metro area wedding photography and destination weddings)
Bridal sessions
Engagement sessions
and any other event that you would require photographic coverage for. We have packages starting at $1500 and can forward our complete package information to you, so please let us know what you have set aside for wedding photography and we can better design something to meet your needs. Please don't base a day as important as your wedding day on price, give us the opportunity to serve you. Even though I am a Houston photographer, I am available to travel to any destination you need to cover your event. I LOVE to travel!!! Click on any of the albums to view examples of the quality I can provide you. I look forward to serving you.

Tuesday Wedding Tip: Plan Your Bridal Portrait Location

Your bridal portrait session is more than just a chance to photograph the dress before the wedding—it’s an opportunity to create something completely different from your wedding-day portraits.

One of the first decisions is where to have your session.

A university campus, historic hotel, garden, wedding venue or another location with interesting architecture can each create an entirely different look and feel. Think about the style of your gown, the season, the surroundings you love and the overall look you want your portraits to have.

But there’s another important detail couples sometimes discover too late:

Not every beautiful location is free to use for professional photography.

Some locations require advance reservations, photography permits or session fees. Others may restrict where or when photography is allowed. Your photographer can help you research those requirements, but any location fees are generally separate from the photography session itself.

And if you're considering your wedding venue for bridal portraits, ask whether portrait-session access is included with your venue rental. Some venues offer engagement or bridal portrait sessions as part of their wedding packages.

Tuesday Tip: Choose your bridal portrait location early enough to check availability, photography policies and any required fees—especially if you have a particular location in mind.

The right setting should complement you and your gown, while giving you photographs that add something different to the story of your wedding.

Tuesday Tip - INDOOR OR OUTDOOR CEREMONY?
Think beyond the weather.

When choosing your ceremony location, think about what happens immediately after you say “I do.”

These two weddings were both photographed at The Springs Cypress, but their timelines worked very differently.

🌿 Outdoor ceremony: The reception space could be completely set and ready indoors while the ceremony was taking place. Afterward, guests enjoyed a shorter cocktail hour before moving inside for the reception.

🏛️ Indoor ceremony: Guests had the comfort and predictability of an indoor space, but after the ceremony they moved outside for cocktail hour while the venue team transformed the room from ceremony to reception.

Neither choice is wrong — but each creates a different wedding-day flow.

Tuesday Tip: When touring a venue, don't just ask “Where can we have the ceremony?” Ask:

“If we have the ceremony here, what happens to our guests afterward, and how long does the room transition normally take?”

That one question can tell you a lot about how your wedding day will actually feel.

A First Look at The Peach Orchard

I recently had the opportunity to photograph a wedding at The Peach Orchard in The Woodlands/Spring area, and this is a venue I’m looking forward to photographing again.

From the tree-lined grounds and bridge to the elegant reception space, chandeliers and architectural details, there are plenty of opportunities here for beautiful wedding and bridal portraits.

These are just a few behind-the-scenes images I captured while at the venue. I can’t share the professional wedding gallery just yet, but I’m looking forward to showing you more when I can.

One thing I especially appreciate as a photographer is a venue that gives us a variety of looks without having to leave the property. That means more time photographing the couple and less time traveling between locations on the wedding day.

The Peach Orchard is definitely one I’ll be keeping on my radar.

Tuesday Wedding Tip — That Beautiful Photo Location May Require a Fee

You found the perfect engagement or bridal portrait location on Pinterest, Instagram, or Google. The architecture is beautiful, the grounds are perfect, and you immediately think, “I want my photos there!”

Before adding it to your plans, there is one more thing to check: Does the location require permission, a reservation, or a photography fee?

Many popular venues, historic buildings, gardens, museums, hotels, and other private properties charge a fee for professional photography—even when you're only there for an engagement session or bridal portraits and not holding your wedding there.

That location fee is normally separate from what you pay your photographer. It pays the property for access to the location; your photography fee pays your photographer for the session and the finished images.

Before falling in love with a location, check:

Whether professional photography is permitted
Whether reservations are required
What the location fee includes
How much time you're allowed
Whether there are restrictions on lighting, equipment, changing clothes, or which areas can be used

These engagement portraits were photographed inside Houston's beautiful Julia Ideson Library—a perfect example of how choosing the right setting can make your session unique.

A little planning ahead can mean the difference between arriving ready to create beautiful photographs and arriving to discover you can't shoot there at all.

Your photographer can often help with the process, but it's always better to discuss your desired location before the session is scheduled.

TEXAS WEDDING TIP: Have a cold-weather plan — even when Texas says you shouldn't need one. ❄️

Texas winters can be unpredictable. A December wedding might give you a beautiful 70-degree afternoon...or temperatures in the 30s with plenty of wind.

This wedding near Conroe was a great example of planning for the unexpected.

The ceremony was held comfortably indoors, while the reception took place outside on the church grounds. With cold temperatures and wind that day, the couple had already taken steps to make the outdoor celebration work — décor and table linens were secured, guests came prepared with coats, gloves and hand warmers, and a fire pit gave everyone a warm place to gather.

And one of my favorite touches?

A make-your-own s'mores station. 🔥

Instead of letting the cold ruin the reception, they incorporated it into the experience — and the guests loved it.

One thing I would add for an outdoor winter reception: patio heaters around the seating areas. A fire pit is wonderful, but several heaters allow guests to stay comfortable at their tables instead of everyone needing to gather around one heat source.

When you're planning an outdoor Texas wedding, don't plan only for what the weather usually does.

Plan for what it could do.

Your guests — and your wedding timeline — will thank you.

💍 Wedding Tip Tuesday

One of the biggest mistakes I see isn't choosing the wrong venue...

It's forgetting how hot a Texas summer can be.

This beautiful July wedding at Circle of Seven Ranch was absolutely gorgeous, but by the time guests arrived, many were already reaching for their fans.

The couple planned well, and everyone had a wonderful time, but it reminded me of something I tell every couple planning an outdoor ceremony:

Don't just plan for beautiful weather. Plan for comfortable guests.

A few simple things can make a huge difference:

✔ Consider a later ceremony time if possible.
✔ Offer bottled water before guests are seated.
✔ Provide hand fans or shaded seating while guests wait.
✔ Keep the ceremony efficient during the hottest part of the day.
✔ Ask your venue about backup options if temperatures become extreme.

Your guests will remember how your wedding made them feel just as much as how it looked.

Beautiful photos and comfortable guests make for an unforgettable day.

Simple. Elegant. Timeless.

Some wedding venues don't need elaborate décor because the space itself becomes part of the story.

Venue 311 in Plantersville, Texas offers a bright ceremony space with beautiful natural light, a warm reception hall, and thoughtful details that create an inviting atmosphere for family and friends.

Congratulations again to this wonderful couple! Thank you for trusting me to document such an important day in your lives. Wishing you both a lifetime filled with love, laughter, and countless new memories together.

If you're planning your wedding and looking for a venue that blends rustic charm with modern elegance, Venue 311 is definitely worth adding to your list.

Fireworks over Towne Lake never get old.

There is something timeless about a summer night in Cypress, Texas — families gathered along the water, reflections across the lake, and fireworks lighting up the sky above The Boardwalk at Towne Lake.

Scenes like this are a reminder that some moments are worth slowing down for, whether it is a wedding day, a family celebration, or a Fourth of July evening close to home.

Happy Independence Day from In a Lifetime Photography.
