One of our favorite things to do is Styled Shoots!!! What is a styled shoot you may ask? It is where we team with a group of vendors to create an extraordinary event for something simple yet fabulous like an engagement, a proposal, bridals and more! Here we combined a proposal and engagement shoot with a local Hot Air Balloon Festival and what we got was Gorgeous! We owe a huge thank you to Lottie with Couture Events for organizing this and to Rita with Rent My Dust for loaning us props. Both girls also spent their day creating and setting up this amazing photo shoot and we really could not recommend each of them enough! Lottie is a brilliant wedding and event planner who defines the very essences of the word Creative! Rita owns pretty much the coolest store we have ever encountered. She rents ‘her dust’ to those of us who can’t distinguish a treasure from trash until she makes it beautiful for us. She provided many of the props shown here like the chicken coop acting as our table, the antique radio on the table and more. She can make your event a one of a kind with little to no effort on your behalf!












Below are the rest of the vendors who really stepped up to the plate and got the details in tact to create this Hot Air Balloon Proposal & Engagement Photo Shoot!

When we think back on our weddings we photograph we like to give the wedding a theme and without a doubt the theme to this wedding was Dance Party! This crew knew how to dance and how to have fun. More on this to come! Anyhow, this was yet another fabulous wedding by Rachel Events! Kick back and enjoy this beautiful courthouse wedding followed by the dance party reception.

Aren’t these personalized glass charms awesome! Great job Pam!


The bride also had the bridesmaid’s all sign her shoes before she walked down the aisle.


Seeing that a large group of these gentlemen are lawyers, not only was a courthouse wedding appropriate, this shot in particular was a must! Yes, they set themselves up in the appropriate spots. Looks convincing huh?!

Um, is this couple not the cutest ever! Lauren and Zach are such a perfect match! We met up with these two at their adorable town home downtown Houston to set off to take their engagement photos. We ran around Sunset Blvd in Rice Village for a bit enjoying the gorgeous weather before heading to Hermann Park just outside downtown Houston to take advantage of the beautiful skyline.









Isn’t there little town home so cute? I want one! They also have the coolest backyard with the lights strung and a backyard double swing. So so so cute!
