Eleina and Paul Wyatt Wedding at Christ Church Cathedral and The Crystal Ballroom at the Rice

by Steve Lee· November 12, 2016· in Crystal Ballroom, Eventology, Misora Bridal· 0 comments
We started the day with Eleina at Christ Church Cathedral, where she put on her beautiful dress from Misora Bridal. The cool, overcast day was perfect to get lots of photos of the bridesmaid and groomsmen outside. The church does not allow photography during the ceremony, but we were able get some candid shots of Eleina and her dad (with the amazing planner, Kelly from Eventology,  just behind them) as she was getting ready to enter the church. After the ceremony, we were able to recreate parts of the wedding, including a fun dip kiss. And speaking of dip kisses, if there were an award to the best dip kissing clients, they would win hands down! The reception was just few streets away at the Crystal Ballroom at the Rice Hotel.

The same Forbe​’s article to publish that statistic, goes on to say that couples who meet online are happier and more likely to stay married. After capturing Michael and Sara’s special day, I would say they are definitely going to be happy together for a very long time. The pre-wedding shoot at La Colombe D’or included photos of the dress and Sara getting ready with her family and friends. One of my favorite captures was of Sara helping one of her flowers girls get ready. Once the bride was dressed, we went outside for the first look. I always love this moment when the couple see each other for the first time on their wedding day, and can share their emotions and love privately. The couple then boarded the shuttle and we headed to the St. Theresa Catholic Church for the ceremony. I had seen this church many times because it’s behind one of my daughter’s favorite playgrounds, but never had shot a wedding there before. The ladies at the church were very kind and told me that they preferred that we don’t use a lot of flash, but […]
