Rachel got ready for the big day with her bridesmaids at JW Marriott Downtown , while Michael and the boys got ready at home. The ceremony took place at the Co-Cathedral of the Sacred Heart where we caught some great photos of Rachel laughing as she walking down the aisle. After the ceremony, we headed down to the Houston Graffiti Building to get some creative portraits with the couple and the wedding party. The reception was at Crystal Ballroom, where Rachel and Michael went to their high school prom together 11 years ago! The ballroom looked amazing as always with flowers and linen by Blooming Gallery and cake by Who Made The Cake. After the introduction, the couple shared their first dance and then ate dinner catered by Sambuca Restaurant. The party continued with the cake cutting, toasts and parents dances. With JPL Entertainment providing the music, the guests danced all evening, including the New Orleans Second Line Parade! The night ended with the couple exiting with rose petals and driving back to JW Marriott Downtown in a classic VW Van.

Mona and Aamir Abdullah Wedding at the Houstonian Hotel

by Steve Lee· January 07, 2017· in Blooming Gallery, Houstonian Hotel, Winnie Couture· 0 comments

Mona and Aamir met in medical school and started dating in New York City during their residency. She describes their first date as the “best first date ever” and their love grew from that day. The wedding and reception was at the Houstonian Hotel in Houston and we were ecstatic that they chose us to capture it all. We had worked with Mona and her family for her sister’s wedding a few years ago, and they have remained one of our favorite clients since. After getting ready, Mona and Aamir braved the cold weather for their first look and some quick creative portraits outdoors. Following formal group photos in the lobby, the ceremony and reception took place in the Grand Ballroom. One of our favorite moments were Mona and her father dancing and the knife dance. The dancing never stopped all night as the couple celebrated their special day with their friends and family.

Leslie and Aaron’s wedding day started at the Hotel Zaza where Leslie and her bridesmaids got their hair and make-up done by one of the best in the industry, Nikki Bartlett and her team. I met up with Aaron and his groomsmen at St. Paul’s United Methodist Church, where his best man and mother helped by putting the final touches for the big day. I also met Angela Nix, the wedding planner, who was easy and a pleasure to work with all night. The ladies arrived at the church shortly after and Leslie put on her beautiful dress from Weddings by Debbie. The bridesmaids wore different style and color bridesmaid dresses, a trend that I really like. The ceremony was beautiful as St. Paul’s is one of the most iconic churches in Houston. After the ceremony, we headed to the Petroleum Club for the reception. The party started as the guests watched the amazing sunset from the 39th floor view. Damon from PRP Entertainment took over. He promised that this reception would be like no other and he was right! The guests danced non-stop all evening until Leslie and Aaron’s grand exit with flower petals. Leslie and Aaron, have a […]
