Rainy Day Photos – Houston Wedding Photography

Megan and Drew were married in April of 2010.  This was an unusual wedding for me in that I was shooting for another photographer that had double booked his day.  Which means…I had not met either Megan or Drew but only exchanged a few emails prior to their wedding and spoke with Megan on the phone.  Also out of the ordinary was the drive to Galveston – keeping in mind that I live in Spring,  just about at the Tomball city line, and the fact that i get EXTREMELY nervous just worrying about being to weddings on time in Houston, this drive really had me on edge because of the long distance.  As I have lived in Houston my whole life, as everyone knows…construction, construction, construction, it’s just a question of which freeway and for how long.  This was no exception, but that came at the end.

I have to say, Megan and Drew are fantastic – they welcomed me in to their day as though they had known me for a very long time, which really puts someone at ease stepping in for someone else.  So…let’s talk about the photos..

the flowers were awesome!  they chose a nautical theme for their wedding, with reds, whites, and blues. 

The wedding took place outside in Galveston at the Old Victoria Inn (historic i believe).  The afternoon sun promised to be a killer but there was plenty of breeze around so it felt pretty good.

I’m one of those people that believe all brides are beautiful – and Megan certainly is that…
A little tricky to get photos from here…when they are there…but it worked out great with a longer lens, there are plenty of closeups for the important parts…like the kiss..below..

The Happy Mr. and Mrs. come around for their carriage ride (to sneak back for formals).  The carriage ride eventually took them to their reception venue in the Galveston Strand District.

We were able to get some photos inside of this beautiful old Inn before we left for party time.
and yes…anytime i am behind the camera…whether i instigate it or someone else does..there is always SILLINESS (is that how that’s spelled?)
 So, Megan and Drew were awesome, thank you guys!   I sat with Megan’s dad during dinner, he was great to talk to.  There was a nephew there as well, cute kid!  and he was fascinated by my laptop and camera.  The contracted photographer came about an hour before their wedding was over and took over photographing the festivities and I began the drive home.  and yes…as promised…construction on I45 Northbound at League City.  Yes, the entire freeway was completely shut down.  and No..there were no signs on the southbound side to alert you that if you happened to be going back the other way…you were ^%$#@%^^!  So..Yes…Photographers Take Note..  Always gas up completely before a wedding, as you never know what lays on the road ahead of you. 

As always, comments are welcome on the blog – trying to get an image voting system working, but so far…no luck.
