Nina’s Bridals – Hermann Park – Houston, Texas

Last month, Nina contacted me to shoot her bridal session here in Houston.  She was having a destination wedding in Mexico a few weeks later, but wanted to capture some beautifully unique photos here in Houston first.  Bright and early on a Saturday morning, we headed down to Hermann Park for her bridal photo shoot.

Just a tid bit about the way I shoot, I always try to get the standard posed photos (the classic ones that mom always likes and expects) out of the way quickly at the start of our sessions…

… they’re beautiful and simple…

… but I have to get them out of the way at the start, or I start getting so quirky and having so much fun, I’ll totally forget about them otherwise.

This one (and every single photo that follows)?  Not what momma expected. 

Pink toenails = soooo adorable!

Nina had these adorable wooden fans that she was giving as gifts to the guest at her wedding.  Such a cute prop!

By the way, I love it when clients bring personal items to a shoot.  It makes their photographs even more unique and special!

That orange blob in the back = a homeless guy still sleeping in an orange hunting jacket. (It was after 11 am at this point.)

By the way, HUGE props to Nina’s mom and sis for assisting me through the entire shoot.  Here, they were holding up a large diffuser, helping to soften and diffuse the sunlight.

LOVE this!  Nina’s so hott!  And the awesome sun flare through the wisteria makes everything a little better.

Yet another one of my favorites…

You might think I’m pulling your leg, but these two are ALL Nina.  I asked her to stand under the wisteria, and then she started spinning all on her own.  She’s a total natural!

Thanks Nina – my super-fun senorita!  I had a great time!
