alison and andy’s wedding – houston, tx

Tags: Houston, TX, wedding
posted in Weddings

Like many couples, Alison and Andy met while going to school, not high school like Zack and Kelly, (did they even get married? we missed the reunion special years after the show ended), but while attending Rice University.  Their love grew over long nights, books, labs, and equations, so they know what the ups and downs feel like, where true love rises above the stressful times.  Being the simple, laid back couple that they are, they wanted their special day to be equally as un-complicated, selecting only the most essential elements of a wedding to make it simply elegant yet trouble-free.

Ceremony and Reception: The Parador
Catering and rentals (tables, chairs, etc.):  Behind the Bash
Table linens: Distinctive Details
Flowers: John Friedman Flowers
DJ: Cactus Entertainment
Cakes: World Catering

jenny and young’s wedding – jacksonville, fl

Tags: FL, Jacksonville, wedding
posted in Weddings

Usually, traveling home to Jacksonville gives me (Mike) those never-long-enough moments to spend with family and friends. Much like the Ocean’s 11 gang syncing up their watches prior to their grand heist executions, I often plan the concentration of my travels back to my hometown to coincide with the warmer months. It’s when the beach is blanketed with playful youths and young-at-heart adults taking on the waves like they’re the next Kelly Slater or giving their best impression of Maverick and Iceman at the volleyball nets (rolled up jeans need not apply).

A recent visit proved to  be even more refreshing than my typical warm weathered visits to Florida’s northeast coast, as we were given the opportunity to photograph Young and Jenny’s wedding in the historical Riverside area of Jacksonville.  A simple Korean wedding with yellow infused floral arrangements and attire undoubtedly complemented the sunny weather on this perfect day. Check out the photos below and feel free to give us some feedback! We’re all ears.

Church: Korean Presbyterian Church of Jacksonville
Reception & Catering: University Club
Flowers: Aloha Blossoms
Music & Entertainment: George Torres
Wedding Attire: Wedding Line

melissa and marc – toronto, canada, eh

Tags: canada, toronto
posted in Engagements

They’re proud Canadians, eh. More specifically, they represent the T-Dot (Toronto, for us yankees).  Born and raised in T-Dot’s suburbs, Melissa and Marc were actually kicking snow on each other and playing flirtatious game of tag  in grade school, only to see Melissa move to the US, before their “Winnie-Cooper and Kevin Arnold” relationship could truly bloom.  Years later, they found each other again, found love and will always have the T-Dot. engagements  melissa and marc   toronto, canada, eh icon razz
