Website and Blog Update

I am going through a website revision as well as a busy couple of weeks of weddings, title events, & portrait sessions. Stay tuned for blog entries over the next week or so. There are several sessions I would like to add including a few weddings. Have a great week!

Correale Family

Sarah, Vicenzo, & their three year old son Garrett at Mercer this evening.

Mike & Sarah

Mike & Sarah were married on the 8th at First Baptist Church. They had a very cool reception at the Cadillac Bar.

Mike and Sarah are this month’s featured wedding on my website. Visit www.mhphouston.com.

This one is my favorite.

Because of the thunderstorm that interupted our bridal session, Sarah didn’t get to have a good photo of the back of her dress. I thought the stained glass was perfect for this.

The coolest groom’s cake ever! Go Stros!!

Andrea Bienski Bridal

I had the pleasure of photographing Andrea’s bridal on Friday. She was such a pleasure to work with. She is currently a med student at UT. Her bridal took place within the museum district. We had many great images, however these are a few of my favorites.
I am trying digital frames around my images & probably will frame my blog images from time to time.

Brian & Celia

This morning I photographed Brian & Celia’s engagement session on Galveston Island. I have never seen this many Man O War on the beach, ever! We were dodging them left & right. Brian & Celia where a great couple, & not afraid to get wet! I am happy to photograph their wedding in August in Port Arthur.

Valentine’s Cruise 2008

Rob & I got back on Sunday from our cruise to the Carribean. While most of the cruise was fun & partying in…it was also work. As many of you know, I have many clients that are Realtors. Rob builds custom homes and is President of Home Innovations. We were part of a group of 60 made up of Realtor and affilate industries. Rob for the second year in a row hosted a great cocktail hour themed with Pirates of the Carribbean. Our ports included Montego Bay, Grand Cayman, and Cozumel.

Formal Night

We were so happy that Rob & Sue were able to join us again this year. Rob grew up with Rob & Sue. They celebrated their wedding anniversary during the cruise on Valentine’s Day – 13 years!

Bloody Mary’s in the morning…

What a pretty sunset

Jamaica – Rose Hall Resort

An all you can drink and eat day at a nice resort on the island while our ship was at port. I was introduced to the “Dirty Banana” The guys loved this drink!

Grand Cayman

Scotter Crew

Burr Hole

Rum Point

Cozumel
Well…Cozumel has the tinest little jellyfish. Jellyfish that managed to snag me right in the eye! I know what you all are thinking and the answer is no! The stinging eventually went away later that evening. So needless to say, Mary didn’t really get to snorkel in Cozumel. After our little snorkel adventure and rum punch party on the catamaran, Rob & Sue and Rob & I took taxi’s to a beach where we rented jet skis. The water is so so blue, it’s crazy how blue it is in some areas!! Sorry, I was not about to take my camera with us on the jet ski, so you will just have to take my word for it. When we were leaving the beach, we saw an iguana in the parking lot. He was about 2.5 feet long. I got about 8 feet from it before his backside raise up and he slowly walked away.

Our final night at port and we are thinking about our next cruise.

Vino, who had been our waiter the whole week, danced for us this night and the two final nights. He was so polite and quite…we didn’t know he had it in him!

We met some great people that week. Terry & Nikki English (pictured on the left) , who are in real estate & development. They are also the owners of Twin Lakes, an event location located in Cleveland, TX. Mike & Pat Navarette (pictured in the middle). Pat is the Broker/Owner of Texas Sage Properties and Mike is a Manager with Halliburton Human Resources.
