Houston Wedding Photographer - Photographics » Foundry United Methodist Church http://www.photosforu.com/blog Highlights of the memories I've had the honor of making Wed, 24 Feb 2010 16:19:55 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 Some of Houston’s Wedding Venues http://www.photosforu.com/blog/2008/10/07/some-of-houstons-wedding-venues/ http://www.photosforu.com/blog/2008/10/07/some-of-houstons-wedding-venues/#comments Tue, 07 Oct 2008 14:36:33 +0000 Photographics http://www.photosforu.com/blog/2008/10/07/some-of-houstons-wedding-venues/ As a wedding photographer in the Houston area, I have been very fortunate to photograph some very beautiful weddings recently at some very nice venues.  Some of the Churches, Reception halls, and Hotel Ballrooms have been very nicely decorated and really set the tone for the wedding.  Most of the places have the “standard features” – Dance floor, room for the buffet tables or full kitchen to allow for service by caterers, room for the DJ and his equipment or the live band, and plenty of room for your guests.  You can either get the facility to decorate or you can get your own decorator.  Catering options are the same – you can use the staff at the venue, or in some cases, bring in your own caterer and servers.  this post is rather long and has quite a few more images than I normally post, so I hope you find something useful.

Here are some of the places I’ve shot:

Renaissance Houston Hotel Greenway Plaza

Ashton Gardens


Houston National Golf Club

St Edward Catholic Church

Brady’s Landing

Tuscany Villa

A. D. Bruce Religion Center (on the campus of the University of Houston)

Sweetwater Country Club

Foundry United Methodist Church

The Pavilion on Gessner

Paraiso Maravilla

Hotel Galvez on Galveston Island

OK, I know I keep saying that as a wedding photographer in the Houston area, I love working with couples that LOVE….Love each other and love having a good time.  Well Diana and Joseph were one of those couples!  I had the pleasure of meeting Diana at the Bridal Extravaganza Show in January 2008 and had the honor of shooting her Bridal session – which turned out GREAT! (I’ll post those soon)

The wedding ceremony was held at the Foundry United Methodist Church in Northwest Houston and the reception was held at the Pavillion on Gessner.  They both attended Prairie View A&M University where he was a member of the Band Fraternity Kappa Kappa Psi (and a tuba player – a man after my own heart!)

The Church was absolutely beautiful!
