And perfect it was for Angelica & Matt as they were married at The Houstonian.  I loved being there to capture their “first look” – such a special moment!  The color combinations with the bridesmaid dresses and flowers was SO cheerful, vibrant, and ideal for a Spring wedding.  Their first dance was a choreographed dance routine – talk about a fun-loving couple who loves to have a good time!  It was a wonderful celebration of love and happiness for both the newlyweds and the guests.  I wish Angelica & Matt all the best as they start their new life together! :)

Perfect Spring weather and a beautiful couple in love – what more could a photographer ask for?

*Names & pictures of the couple were removed at their request for privacy reasons.

Born last October, Ivana is the daughter of our good friends Adriana and Ricardo.  She was such a good baby during the shoot and is just as cute as can be!  We took the photos at their apartment so I could really capture the new family in their element. The nursery was so pretty and had so many DIY elements all designed by Adriana.

We’re so happy for our sweet friends and their little bundle of joy!

On Friday, 2/10/12 at  Tiny Boxwoods, she thought it was just another night but little did she know, Memo had some secrets up his sleeve!  When they arrived, she requested a table inside because of the chilly weather and the hostess lead them to the “next available table” – the gazebo!  This is where a table was all set up for just the two of them.  On the table was a special ring-box cake designed and made by the chef of Tiny Boxwoods.  The cake was adorned with the phrase “Will you marry me?”.  As soon as she saw the cake, she knew what was happening and was immediately ecstatic and in shock! Memo brought out the ring, got on one knee, and asked her to marry him.  She said yes!

In addition to the already romantic room, Memo also had a violinist from Divisi strings serenading them.  They indulged in delicious appetizers for dinner and and just when Manu thought the surprise was complete, both of their families showed up to celebrate this momentous occasion!

It was such a magical evening – congratulations to the happy couple…and Happy Valentine’s Day! <3
