3 Reasons Why You Should Invest In Houston Wedding Photography

Investing In Houston Wedding Photography

You have probably heard about the many different reasons why you need a wedding photographer present on your big day. With all of the important moments that happen throughout such a joyous day, it’s important to have a professional photographer there. Specializing in Houston wedding photography for a number of years, I’ve captured weddings all over this great city. Houston wedding photography has brought so much joy to the couples I’ve worked with all around the city like the weddings featured here today!

And so today I’m going to share with you, from a wedding photographers prospective, why it’s important to invest in Houston wedding photography.

1.) Every special moment.

Each moment that takes place at your wedding is something that will be captured by your wedding photographer. Everything from getting ready, reading letters, walking down the aisle, and dancing with your friends and family.

The memories created on your wedding day are some of the most important you’ll carry with you throughout your life. Investing in amazing Houston wedding photography will help with that.

2.) Details.

There is so much planning that goes into your wedding day. That’s something that we take into major consideration. One of our favorite things to photograph on any wedding day are the beautiful details, big and small, that everyone worked so hard to put together. It’s important to remember what your wedding day looked like. Yes, trends and times change, but looking back on the details that your day held will be something that you will always cherish.

3.) Remembering who was there.

One of the things we do as wedding photographers is photograph each guest in attendance. Whether that be dancing, smiling at the camera, or hugging the bride and groom, it’s important for us to help you remember each person in attendance at your wedding. As we go through life, we loose touch with some friends. Sometimes we experience the passing of a loved one. How special is it that Houston wedding photography exists for reasons such as that? It’s an honor to have the chance to photograph all of your loved ones that are there so you can remember how you felt dancing with them or giving them a hug.

Even if you’re in the need for destination wedding photography, these are still things that we can help you with! We would love the opportunity to connect with you about your wedding photography needs!

Why Houston Bridal Photography Is So Vital To Your Wedding!

Why Houston Bridal Photography Is So Vital For You Before Your Big Day!

Throughout the years, I have taken pictures of many happy couples and happy brides. However, there is one thing that I find that many brides regret not getting – bridal portraits! Houston bridal photography is something that many people overlook and see as unnecessary, but that could not be further from the truth. No, it’s not putting on the veil, walking down the aisle, Or “The Kiss,” it’s something entirely of it’s own. It’s a chance to showcase your beauty, and it also lets you get more out of your wedding day.

Enjoy More Of Your Wedding

On your wedding day there is so much to do in such a finite amount of time. We as photographers will be there for you to make your day run as smooth as possible. Of courses there’s is always time to get bridals during your big day, but it just helps to do them ahead of time. We understand that you want to celebrate your special day and get the best pictures possible. By setting up a bridal session, you are getting the whole experience with your wedding photographer – which is something you won’t regret! Hiring a Houston bridal photographer will also allow you to free up some of your time on your wedding day.

Get The Most Out Of Your Photos And Your Wedding Photographer 

Doing a bridal session can be a big advantage to your wedding day. It allows your photographer more freedom to capture the perfect picture. Also, it lets your photographer get to know more about you, and help you become more comfortable with being in front of the camera. A lot like an engagement session, a bridal session will also get you more comfortable in front of a camera so that way you will feel much more natural on your wedding day.

Location, Location, Location… 

Have you ever stopped somewhere and thought “this would be the best place to take pictures.” If you have, then I can not stress enough how much you should have a bridal session. Say your venue is very formal, but you want to take bridals in a tall field of grass during a sunset. Or if you want a more urban look for your bridal photos, you could take them downtown near a giant water fountain or with the skyline. The amount of ideas are limitless.

Getting Ready For Your Destination Wedding Photography

Destination Wedding Photography & How To Best Prepare

A lot of preparation goes into planning for destination wedding photography. Sure, it sounds like that may be a difficult task, but it really isn’t! It is actually one of the best parts about being destination wedding photographers. As I share with you some beautiful photos from Katelyn and Tom’s wedding at the Dreams Punta Cana Resort & Spa, you will walk away with great information on preparing for your destination wedding photography!

1.) Decisions, decisions…

One of the really important decisions you will come across when planning your destination wedding will be your photographer. Do you hire the resort photographer? Do you bring one along with you? Ultimately, that is up to you! But just know, it isn’t the best idea to have both there photographing your wedding. It’s best to stick with just one company so there is consistency all around!

2.) Scheduling!

Even at a destination wedding, there will be a timeline. And with that, it’s necessary to go over your wedding schedule with your photographer in advance. This helps everyone out and ensures that the day will run smoothly!

3.) More than just one session!

You’re probably thinking, “wait, we get more photos than just the ones from our wedding day?!” That’s right! This is one of my favorite things about being a destination wedding photographer! I always make sure to tell my couples to prepare themselves to put their wedding attire back on and do one more session within the 48-hours following their wedding!

You’re traveling to a unique place for your wedding, the most important time in your life, why not get all of the photos that you can?

Did you know that destination wedding photography isn’t as expensive as you may think? Get in touch with us today and let’s chat about your upcoming destination wedding!

Reasons Why You Need A Houston Proposal Photographer To Capture This Special Moment!

Russell reached out to us to inquire about taking photos of the special moment that’s featured here on today’s blog. And we couldn’t help but jump on board with his plan! He planned their proposal to take place at the Water Wall in Houston. There, he dropped to one knee to ask the love of his life for her hand in marriage. It was even more special when she said “yes!” and the tears began to flow. Their proposal reminds us that this is why we love what we do. As a Houston proposal photographer, it was such an honor to be there to make images of this special moment that they will forever cherish!

Today, we’re going to share with you 3 reasons why you need a Houston proposal photographer if you’re planning on popping the question!

1.) Telling the story

As photographers, it’s always so great for us to be able to tell the story a proposal! We followed this lovely couple and made sure to be in the area when it came time for Russell to ask the most important question he’ll ever ask! That’s when we make ourselves known that we’ve been there with them this whole time! It’s so wonderful that they’ll have every moment leading up to their proposal, during their proposal, and after, to look back on for a lifetime.

2.) The real, raw reactions

Being there in the moment someone gets engaged is unlike anything else we experience as Houston proposal photographers.

The True Investment Of Houston Engagement Photography

Making The Investment In Houston Engagement Photography

As a Houston wedding photographer, I get the special opportunity of helping couples create and cherish memories throughout the whole wedding planning process. There’s something special about finding your wedding photographer. You have finally found the person that you trust will best document your special day. While looking for your photographer, make sure that you’re considering all of your photography options! Your photographer can do a lot for you… One of those things being Houston engagement photography!

Engagement photography is such an important thing to consider when looking for your photographer. Here are a few reasons why Houston engagement photography is something that you will want to invest in.

Does Your Photographer Offer Both Engagement And Wedding Services?

Most wedding photographers also offer engagement sessions. It’s pretty common, to be honest. It comes in a majority of wedding photo packages. It gives you and your photographer the chance to meet again after your consultation, or for the first time if you hired them over the phone, and see how they work before the wedding day.

Shake Off The Camera Jitters!

For most, being in front of the camera isn’t something that happens everyday. So, you may be thinking about photography before and during your wedding and possibly get nervous. No need to worry! Hiring a team of professionals will definitely set you up for success and make you feel incredibly comfortable. Investing in Houston engagement photography is a great chance for you to get comfortable in front of the camera before your wedding day comes around!

Showcase Your Best Outfits!

We all have those outfits that make us feel like a million bucks. This is the perfect opportunity for you get all fancy, spend the day with your fiancé, and take some beautiful pictures that you can share with friends and family and use for Save The Dates! Just like the engagement session featured today… This beautiful couple now has a wide variety of engagement photos to do everything listed above. Maybe event make albums or print for them their wedding display!

Your Wedding Portraits With Your Wedding Photographers Houston

The Important Things To Consider When Planning For Your Wedding Portraits With Your Wedding Photographers Houston

There are a lot of things to consider when you’re planning your wedding. With the many weddings I have photographed, I’ve worked with many different and unique timelines. And if there’s one important piece of advice I can give to every couple planning their wedding, it’s this – listen to your wedding photographers Houston about the timing they will need for your wedding portraits.

Today, I want to inform and encourage you about why this is so important.

Each couple is special. We don’t want to miss a thing.

As wedding photographers, we try not to ask for too much. We really just want to make your wedding day run as smoothly as it possibly can while capturing each moment in a creative way. We are storytellers. It is our passion to live that out and not miss a thing during your wedding day. With the connection we make with each couple we work with, the importance of each wedding we photograph, and the uniqueness that each couple holds, we desire to capture just that – your love, your story, your special day, and those special moments of just the two of you, before or after the ceremony. As you can see in Crystal and Richard’s wedding portraits featured here today, we had time on our side to get such an amazing variety of photos for them to cherish and display in their home!

Whether you’re doing a first look or not, time for your portraits IS possible.

Trust your wedding photographer.

Your wedding photographers Houston are one of the most important investments you’ll be making for your wedding… These are people that you want to trust to perfectly photograph your day. When you’re meeting for a consultation, which I highly recommend doing, and going over any timeline details, that’s when we go over the amount of time needed to do portraits of just the two of you – whether you’re doing a first look or not.

These are the wedding portraits that you will be displaying throughout your home for the years to come. It’s very important to have a nice variety of images to choose from.

You don’t want to rush on your wedding day!

No one wants to rush, or feel rushed, on their most special day! That’s why it’s so important to plan for the perfect amount of time to photograph those special images of just you two. When looking at your timeline and going over it with your wedding photographers Houston, the allotted time may seem like a lot, or maybe not enough, but like stated previously, trust your wedding photographer. They know what they are doing and it’s important to them to help make this day more amazing than it already is!

Rushing around on such an important day isn’t any good for anyone involved. Your photographer wants to stick to your timeline as much as possible! Having this planned out in advance is important for everyone – bride and groom, planners, DJ’s, and everyone who is excited to greet you and show their support!

The Importance Of Getting Ready Images | Austin Wedding Photographer

Why Getting Ready Images At Each Wedding Are Important | Austin Wedding Photographer

I’ve captured weddings all over the world as a destination wedding photographer. And one thing remains the same at each one I’ve photographed… There is importance in spending time with the couple separately to ensure that each detail is being photographed before they make their way down the aisle. Being an Austin wedding photographer, I experienced the importance of that again recently during the wedding featured here today.

Here are a few reasons why it’s so important for you to make sure your wedding photographer gets these moments.

1.) Memories with those closest to you.

The moments before your wedding begins are usually the most intimate ones. You’re spending time with your family and your closest friends as you get ready to say your “I do’s” to the love of your life. Not only do these images help tell the story of your wedding day, but they are a reminder of the time you spent having fun, and getting ready with your favorite people all around you.

2.) Details, details, details…

As you can see in some of the images featured here from Caroline and Bobby’s Austin wedding, being there before the ceremony began ensured that my team and I had plenty of time to get all the important details around the venue. This includes the details of what the couple will be wearing! So, getting those ring shots, the dresses on the hangers, and the sweet moments of the bride getting in her gown, are just timeless images to help you remember the amazing details of the wedding day.

3.) Remembering how you felt.

As an Austin wedding photographer, it’s important to me that I photograph the intimate moments and how everyone feels. There’s nothing like capturing a reaction of a bride reading a letter from her groom. Or the moment she does a first look with her dad. Having those memories in photographs is truly a treasure worth holding on to.

While looking for a destination wedding photographer, keep Jessi Marri Photography in mind! With experience and my bags ready to go, you can trust that I will be there every step of the way!

League City Carpet Cleaning With Spotless Flooring

League City Carpet Cleaning

Sometimes I see other small businesses and in my mind I compare them to how we operate as a photography business. We as professionals must know our equipment and our trade very well and that’s across the board with every trade. There are skills that we must spend years developing into. We must also develop an eye for certain things and that’s a huge part of what separates the professionals who excel from those who just don’t.

A few weeks ago we were pre-planning at a venue that needed carpet cleaning in League City and was happy to see the inspector on site just because I’m always curious. He was from a small veteran owned business but from the looks of it, and the amount of knowledge he had, I first thought he was from a franchise company. We needed to have our house cleaned at the time so I spent a few minutes with the inspector talking to him.

He pointed out multiple things that I never would have noticed, other than the floor was dirty. Interestingly this floor care guy told me so much that he saw in the floor that I thought he was there to solve a mystery. I tell ya, he could have worked with Scooby-Doo and done well. But this is what I was originally talking about, having an eye for things as a professional. He explained how unusual track marks find their way all over the carpeted areas, explained how to prevent those from happening in the future, and knew exactly how to clean them.

As I took interest in what he was doing and spent a few minutes listening along with the venue manager we both learned a few things. The floor guy spoke about ways to prevent the floors from getting to a point of no return and really it was common sense, but once again, not something any would really think about. Curious George I am, I listened and started to gain a respect for this well-educated professional.

And it was eye opening to think that there are professionals for each little service industry, just like us photographers, who master their art over years of experience. If you’re interested in getting to know my new friend Daniel and his business, check out his League City carpet cleaning company. You can visit his website here.

A Day In The Life Of A Houston Wedding Photographer – Jessi Marri Photography – Best Houston Wedding Photographer

A Day In The Life Of A Houston Wedding Photographer

Jessi Marri Photography – Best Houston Wedding Photographer

Being the best Houston wedding photographer, there are a lot of things that go in to preparing for a wedding. Today, not only am I sharing beautiful images from Jennifer and Adrian’s wedding that took place at The Dunlavy, but I’m sharing a little about the day in the life of a Houston wedding photographer.

1.) We double and triple check our gear.

As a wedding photographer, I bring a lot of camera equipment with me. With that, I’m sure I can speak for every photographer that we double check and triple check our bags to make sure we have absolutely everything we need for your special day! A day or so before, we are checking cards, charging batteries, cleaning lenses, etc. Doing everything we can to make sure our gear is ready to go! We want to ensure that in transitional parts of the day, everything on our end is going to run smoothly.

2.) Details and getting ready.

Each wedding, details, and the moments they hold, all vary from one another. No wedding day is exactly the same. That’s what makes our job so great! Although, yes, we know what shots we need to get, images will vary from wedding to wedding. One of our favorite things besides taking photos of the couples by themselves is the beginning of the day when everyone is getting ready and when we can get the details, such as your venue before everyone gets there, up close photos of the dresses, and center pieces!

3.) Our excitement is real!

Yes, it’s true! I love my job as the best Houston wedding photographer! After working with our couples for a good amount of time before the wedding, when the day comes around, we are thrilled to see, work with, and create beautiful images for our couples!

We want to make sure that you are taken care of on your wedding day! Keep Jessi Marri Photography in mind for all of your Houston wedding photography needs!
