Mr & Mrs. Penrod

Mr & Mrs. Penrod. Let’s get into this wedding day!

Victoria & Davis had their wedding at Butler’s Courtyard & had their ceremony at the church they attend every Sunday, which I loved & it made the wedding so much more intimate. After the ceremony we started all the photos afterwards at golden hour. After we went back to the venue the couple mingled with their guests, speeches were said, & they cut the cake. The evening flew by with all the dancing & the couple shared one last private dance on the dance floor & then exited in their getaway car. Take a little peek into their wedding day!

Weddings like these make me so beyond happy & appreciative to have couples like Victoria & Davis. Thank you so much for trusting in me & allowing me to be apart of your special day!

What songs you should add to your wedding playlist for Spring/Summer 2022!

Here's some of my favorite songs or songs I think you should add to your Spring/Summer Wedding Playlist! I love when weddings have older music at their reception, the mood is just something you have to experience! This is gonna be a big mix of new & old & classic songs.

But, I'm gonna share my top 10 songs you should consider adding to your wedding playlist! (In no particular order)

1. I Love You Baby by Emilee
2. At Last by Etta James
3. Stand By Me by Ben E. King
4. Kiss Me by Ed Sheeran
5. Love by Lana Del Rey
6. Somewhere Only We Know by Keane
7. The One by Kodaline
8. Amazing Juke Ross
9. Every Breath You Take by The Police
10. Can't Take My Eyes off You by Frankie Villi

Would you add any of these songs to your playlist? Maybe some of them are already on there! I have a ton more songs on the playlist I made, so go check out my Spotify playlist for more ideas! This blog post was super fun & I love hearing different music at weddings rather than the same stuff. I could make a whole list of songs to not play at your wedding.

Olivia & Ian's Engagement Session in Houston, Texas.

I had the best evening in Houston with these two last month. We really did have the best time on their engagement session. Olivia & Ian reached out to me right before the new year & booked their engagement session & wedding for 2022. In our initial call we talked about all the things wedding & the process. Olivia told me all about their vision for the engagement session & what she had planned. We planned all January to make their engagement session everything they wanted! We decided to go to Menil Collection in Houston, Texas and Rice University. Ian actually went to college at Rice University & played football there. We were praying for good weather, because we thought there was gonna be another winter freeze here in Houston, but we totally lucked out. There was a bit of some colder weather, but it was the best weather for our session.

We were at the Menil Collection to start the session & Olivia was just in love with the look of the buildings. So we started here & walked around the area, because it was just so perfect for photos. I was here around the same time as last year for photos with another client of mine & it just reminded me of how much I love this location.

Then after this session we went to Rice University. We walked all around the campus, because we took a stroll down to the James Turrell's "Twilight Epiphany" Skyspace & it was so stunning. If you have never been there I highly recommend, because it so pretty & such a cool idea to do on our own time. It light up the night & was such a beautiful night in Houston. I can’t wait to see these two in December for their wedding at The Farmhouse in Montgomery, Texas.
