Having been a professional wedding photographer for over 10 years, I have heard some amazing stories about couples’ journeys to their big day. But I have to say Steph and Sam’s journey is one of the most remarkable stories I’ve ever heard. I won’t go into all the details, but it involves competing for an exclusive Japanese study abroad program, a love triangle, a 7 hour post-earthquake rescue mission, and a Harry Potter proposal! The latter of which was published by Cosmopolitan, The Telegraph UK and Houston Chronicle! And who do you hire to plan an extraordinary wedding to celebrate this extraordinary couple? You guessed it, Kat Creech Events. I was curious to see how Kat would bring the Harry Potter theme to her designs and as usual, she did not disappoint. The first thing I noticed was the aisle runner made up of pages from Harry Potter books. Then there was the Quidditch inspired guest card hoops and custom design crest for the couple. There were Harry Potter details everywhere including the programs, gift table, props for photobooth, and many more. But I have to say that the crowd favorite had to be Widget, the owl who flew down the […]

I was thrilled at the opportunity to shoot our first wedding at Moffitt Oaks in Tomball last weekend! I had already seen some of the amazing photos of the ranch-style property on the web site, when Jody and Sae asked me to shoot their wedding. Adding to the excitement was the anticipation that Jody and Sae’s special day was going to be brimming with beautiful details because they had so many great props and ideas at their engagement session. They did not disappoint. My favorite detail was the custom etched mug for each of the groomsmen, which contained a boutonniere and gift. It’s rare that we get to shoot 2 outdoor weddings in the hot, humid city of Houston, in 2 weeks (see Vu wedding blog here). However, the staff and crew of Steve Lee Photography and our partners at Avalee Films were treated to a perfectly pleasant and sunny outdoor ceremony. Oh, yeah, and I think the wedding couple and guests enjoyed it too. The ceremony took place lakeside in a beautiful outdoor setting with the fountain as the backdrop. But honestly, the stars of the show were the two perfectly behaved dogs, who strutted down the aisle in their […]

It was epic. But that’s the norm when we shoot a wedding with Kat Creech Events. The weather was perfect for an outdoor wedding ceremony and while the dinner was indoors, the dance floor and casino area were all outdoors. We don’t get to shoot too many outdoor receptions in Houston, but this was the perfect night. The unique outdoor areas of River Oaks Garden Club made a great background. So it turns out Chris, the groom, was the emotional one. He was teary eyed throughout the ceremony and a few more times during the reception. I love to see guys showing emotion. I remember getting tears in my eye as I saw my wife, Anid, walking down the aisle 11 years ago. It’s a moment that I’ll never forget. And I was able to get the perfect shot of Chris as Carrie was walking down the aisle (see images above). These are the kind of images that make me fulfilled and honored to be a wedding photographer. Oh, and did I mention this was a Kat Creech Events wedding? If there is one thing you can count on with Kat, there will be creative, beautiful and innovative designed elements […]
