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.

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!

Your Go-To Houston Wedding Photographer

Jessi Marri Photography

The last 6+ years as a Houston wedding photographer has been such an amazing adventure. I’ve not only worked at beautiful wedding venues, I’ve also worked with great vendors in this industry. Of course, my favorite thing is that I’ve worked with and have made memories with amazing couples!

“What Is Your Favorite Thing About Being A Houston Wedding Photographer?”

My favorite thing about being a wedding photographer in Houston is the portrait session with the bride and the groom. I love the time I get to spend with them, creating beautiful images of the two of them together. These are the photos that will be printed and displayed in their home. And that’s something that’s just so special to me. This is the time that the couple and myself get some time separate from the bridal party and the hustle and bustle of it all and create those unique images. It’s one of the most special times I have as a wedding photographer.

This is also a really great time because you, as the couple, get to step away for a few minutes and just soak up the time with just each other, before all of the dancing and eating begins!

The Life Of A Houston Engagement Photographer – Jessi Marri Photography

The Life Of A Houston Engagement Photographer
And Why I Love What I Do

Jessi Marri Photography

The life of a Houston engagement photographer… Where do I begin? When I say that I love what I do, it’s true. I’m truly passionate about wedding photography and giving my clients the best service around. I’m sure that I speak for the majority of photographers when I say that we view love a little differently than everyone else. Not only do we view it through a lens, but we experience different couples… different people… almost every week vow their lives to one another. Each couple completely different from the last. And I love that about my job.

Today, I’m happy to answer a few questions about the life of a Houston engagement photographer and why I love what I do!

“Why Engagement And Wedding Photography?”

When I did my first wedding about 10 years ago in Tampa, I knew this was the life for me. I stepped forward into this industry and never looked back! I love weddings and I love LOVE! For me, there is nothing better than spending time with couples with my camera in hand documenting their love!

“Do You Photograph Proposals?”

Great question! Taking care of proposals is another one of my favorite things as a Houston engagement photographer! This is such an important moment in your life and you don’t want to miss out on having it properly documented! If you’re planning on popping the question soon, get in touch today! You can see more information about proposal photography here.

6 Unique Engagement Photos Houston That Will Inspire You – Jessi Marri Photography

Don’t Be Discouraged! Let These Engagement Photos Inspire You!

Engagement Photos Houston
Jessi Marri Photography

During my years as a wedding photographer, I have worked with some incredible couples. Couples that have served our country, to couples that want to show off what they love during their engagement session. As one of your go-to photographers for engagement photos Houston, I want to share with you 6 photos from over the last couple years that will inspire you during your engagement. And with that, share some thoughtful tips on what could help you as you prepare to take your engagement photos.

Be Yourself!

I know, I know… I probably sound like your parent, but this is one of the most important things to keep in mind for your engagement photos Houston! As you can see in each photo featured here today, each image is unique and truly shows them off as a couple. From their styles, to locations, to what may be incorporated in the photos. (How cute is the baseball save the date?!) Each couple in these images remained true to themselves during their engagement photos.

Be Comfortable!

Your photographer will more than likely recommend that you bring a few outfit choices for your engagement photos Houston. This is the chance for you to wear your favorite outfits! There’s probably a dress in your closet you’ve been itching to wear. Maybe you’ve been eyeing a new pair of cute sandals for a while. Either way, you want to make sure that you and your fiancé are comfortable in whatever you choose to wear. You will be doing different poses and probably walking around, so make sure you don’t have to adjust your dress all the time or that you’re not wearing something you’re going to sweat bullets in! You can see more about this topic on my FAQ page!

Include Something Meaningful

Do you have a special piece of jewelry that you’ll be wearing at your wedding? (Like a grandmothers necklace.) Do either of you serve in the military and want to include something from your uniform? Maybe your truck is your favorite thing besides your fiancé? Either way, let your photographer know that you have special things that you want to include in your session! (These are great ideas for wedding photography, as well!)

Why I Love Spring Engagement Pictures Houston – Jessi Marri Photography

Why I Love Spring Engagement Pictures

Engagement Pictures Houston
Jessi Marri Photography

In our beautiful world and all of the seasons that it offers us year round, there’s something so special about Springtime. The flowers are blooming, the sun seems to be shining a little bit brighter and a little bit longer. And the colors all around are inspiring to photographer like me. Today is the perfect day to share with everyone why I love Spring engagement pictures Houston.

The Newness Springtime Offers

We’ve just left Winter. While although Winter has beauty of it’s own, so does Spring. With the sun shining a little longer during the day and with the trees and flowers blooming, it opens us up to something we didn’t know we were missing during the Wintertime. I recommend taking full advantage of taking your engagement pictures Houston in the Spring. The weather is warm enough to wear your favorite sundress. (You know the one!) And you can even incorporate your favorite wedges or sandals. Your fiancé can still wear a suit or that sweater you love on him so much, and he won’t be sweating up a storm. It’s the perfect happy-medium.

Perfect Evening Pictures

I know that it can be difficult to schedule your engagement pictures Houston around your work schedule. The good thing about Springtime is that since the sun is hanging out with us a little bit longer in the evening, it gives you the perfect opportunity to meet with your photographer after work and get those beautiful golden hour images! (You know, the dreamy ones all over your Pinterest boards!) Also, talk about the perfect way to wind down after a work day… You get to get all dolled up and spend time kissing your fiancé. How fun is that?

Flexibility With Locations 

Do you have a location that you’re just dreaming to use for your engagement pictures? Maybe it’s by the water or with some blue bonnets? Well, with Springtime arriving at our doorstop, we now have the availability to use locations such as those. Blue bonnets aren’t always around and it may be freezing by the water. Now, that’s something you can do!

Meeting With Jessi

Are you interested in Jessi Marri Photography for your Springtime engagement pictures Houston? Get in touch today and let’s schedule a consultation at my studio! I look forward to hearing about your upcoming wedding! Stop by my pricing page to see what my packages look like and everything I offer.

It’s not every day that you get all dolled up and go do a photo shoot. So, why not take full advantage of it? Your engagement session gives you the opportunity to show off your style as a couple. Since most photographers give you the option of multiple outfits, this gives you the chance to wear some of your favorite outfits. You can see that in the engagement session featured today. They coordinated their outfits very well. Plus, it’s always fun get dressed up and spend time with your fiancé! Like I said, take full advantage of it!

2.) Get To Know Your Engagement Photographer Houston

Since your engagement photographer will probably be the same photographer as your wedding photographer, or at least that’s what most photographers will recommend, this gives all of you the opportunity to get comfortable with one another. This allows you, the couple, to see how the photographer will work with you on your wedding day. It also gives us as the photographers to get to know you as a couple. We will learn what makes you laugh and, if you are uncomfortable in front of the camera, get the chance to shake those camera jitters off before your wedding!

3.) Photos To Display At Your Wedding!

This is probably one of our favorite things as photographers… Seeing our work on display! We work incredibly hard for our couples and want to deliverer nothing short of incredible imagery. You get the chance to print your photos from your engagement photographer Houston and have them on display in places at your wedding! Such as your cake table, your gift table, or maybe smaller prints on the tables for your guests to see. And after the wedding, you can hang them up in your home! How great is that?
