Destination Wedding Photographer

Destination Wedding Photographer

Being a destination wedding photographer in Houston, I have the opportunities to go to a lot of places. This time, it is Tulum, Mexico. The wedding of Christine and Nick’s was one that was beautiful like so many girls’ dreams. Luckily, I had the chance to witness and document their wedding as a photographer. I arrived at Dreams Resort in a stormy night but fortunately, the next morning was very gorgeous. The beach and the sky could not get anymore blue – what a destination wedding photographer’s dream!

The whole wedding was beautiful! I couldn’t stop admiring how pretty the light, the cake and the candles were. Christine did a fantastic job in planning and decorating the wedding. Even though the wedding ceremony was moved from the beach to the indoor hall, it was nothing but perfect. Looking back at the photos, a destination wedding photographer like me couldn’t be more emotional. I saw smiles, laughters, and even tears here and there. But honestly, I think the air and the breeze at Tulum made everyone looked so happy and excited overall. And the dance floor was packed most of the time and wine was continuously served. After all, Christine and Nick were the happiest couple of the night. And I could do nothing but click my camera as fast as I could and wish them the very best for their future together.

I was so lucky to be Christine and Nick’s wedding photographer. It was a wedding to remember! I cannot wait to see the next place being a destination wedding photographer takes me to!

 

Unforgettable Daddy/Daughter Moments | Missouri City Wedding Photography

Unforgettable Daddy/Daughter Moments – Jessi Marri Photography – Missouri City Wedding Photography

Every wedding holds something special. There will always be different details, elements, and moments at each wedding that you go to. And that is one of my favorite things about weddings – that no two are alike! Being Taylor and Juan’s Missouri City wedding photography company was an absolute honor. We captured their beautiful day at Heaven on Earth in Missouri City where every detail came together perfectly. From hair and makeup, dresses and suits, smiles and kisses captured – everything about their day was absolutely amazing.

One of my favorite moments to capture are the ones between the bride and her father. Whether that be a first look, the daddy/daughter dance, or other moments that happen throughout the day. When a bride does a first look with her dad, it is a completely different level of emotional! It’s such a special moment between the two as he sees his little girl for the first time before she walks down the aisle. The first time Taylor’s dad saw her, emotions filled the room! You could see how much he loved his daughter and that he was so proud of her. Capturing their first look and their daddy/daughter dance are special moments they will be able to cherish as they look back on that special day.

If you’re currently planning your wedding and thinking about including something different, maybe you’ve been considering a first look of some sort, consider doing a first look with your dad. I can promise you that it is something that you won’t regret. You will get that special moment with your dad before walking down the aisle and have images that you will cherish forever!

You’ve probably seen them around. They’ve become more and more popular over the last few years as they’ve popped up at weddings and birthday parties. And we absolutely LOVE it!

We are very proud of our photo booth Houston. It was built by us from the ground up, excitement applied in every inch of it as we watched it come together. By building the photo booth ourselves, it gave us something special to incorporate into what we offer for weddings. Of course, that also makes it incredibly unique! We can customize what the prints say, we bring unlimited props, offer unlimited prints, and we let you pick your backdrop! (Want some sparkle? We got you!) The photo booth also has some special features available upon request.

Every event we have brought our photo booth Houston to, everyone absolutely loves it! During our time there, we have people that are lining up to get their turn to pick out their props, crowd in with their friends to get that silly photo that they can hold on to forever. We love to bring our photo booth to life at events and create another element of fun for a couple at their wedding or family members at a birthday party!

Timeless Crystal Ballroom Houston Wedding

Crystal Ballroom Houston – Jessi Marri Photography

On a gorgeous summer day in Houston, Texas, a couple completely ready to begin their lives together said “I do” with their loved ones in attendance. All of the hard work and preparation after their emotional mountain top engagement was finally coming to a close as they got ready to vow their lives to one another. Their special day took place at the historic Crystal Ballroom in the Houston’s Rice Hotel. Every detail came together perfectly. From the dresses, suits, hair and makeup, floral arrangements… Let’s just say that the Crystal Ballroom Houston looked like a fairytale come to life!

Their perfect day…

With makeup done and a smile that could light up a room (which it did) Lee Ann was ready to walk down the aisle to her future.

When Lee Ann met Ryan at the altar, you could see the love and adoration they have for eachother. Their love filled up the whole ballroom, that’s for sure! Their vows were sweet poetry to each other’s ears just for one another. You could tell that in that moment, this is what they’ve been waiting for!

After their ceremony, we had some of the most perfect lighting for portraits! (A photographer’s favorite.) We went downstairs and walked around Texas St getting some great moments of the two of them together, in that moment, eyes focused on just each other. Not to mention, we had a total blast and filled the streets of Downtown Houston with laughter.

The rest of the night went off without a hitch. Dancing all night long, a painter came and painted their event, and great music, laughter, and hugs flooded the room on July 9th.

Some favorite images are featured here today. Take a look and enjoy the memories along side them!

Lee Ann and Ryan,
We are so thankful for you two. Thank you for trusting us with capturing your special day. Lots of love and well wishes to you both on this new journey.

Little G Farm Engagement

Little G Farm Engagement – Jessi Marri Photography

This couple featured today has so much love for one another. It’s something that can be seen through their smiles and kisses shared in the photos. It was such a joy to capture this time in their lives at the precious Little G Farm. Little G Farm is located on the south side of Houston and it was the perfect spot for this engagement session.

Location:

The Little G Farm is one of the best spots around for photo shoots. With 4 acres of open field, a pond, and gorgeous oak trees, this location made this Little G Farm engagement session one to remember! All of the different elements at this farm called for something different in every photo! (And as a photographer, that’s something I love!)

The Couple:

We were truly able to highlight this couple during their Little G Farm engagement session. With the different elements that the location offered to the sunset perfect pictures, this beautiful couple and I really enjoyed our time together at the farm, capturing the true, unyielding love that they share.

Tips:

Photographing any type of session at the Little G Farm can be quite fun and adventurous. They welcome families, engagements, commercial photography, and even video shoots to come out and use their property! Some tips I’d like to share would be to definitely make sure to utilize as many elements on the property as possible. If you are doing a family session, go above and beyond and use some of the animals that they have. If you’re going for an engagement session, definitely utilize sunset to get some great romantic photos that really show off the couple!

Make sure that you stop by their website (littlegfarm.com). There you can find out their pricing and get in touch with them! It was such a great experience there!

 

Summer of Love | Newborn Photography Houston Special

Summer of Love | Newborn Photography Houston

When a baby is brought into the world, those first minutes are always the most exhilarating. All the time spent planning, dreaming, waiting, for this very moment when they are in your arms. They still don’t know where they are, but they know they’re home. Not home, as in inside a house or some place with four walls. But home, as in within your caring and loving embrace. As time passes, and they grow into a child, then a teen, then an adult, there will be so many different experiences, growths, and changes in life that the first week can be easily forgotten. This is where we come in with newborn photography Houston.

The Beginning of a New Love

This is how, early on, we learned why newborn photography is more than just a cute pic. Its the day when your child finally meets the world for their first time ever, utter their first sound, and meet the ones who have loved them since the day they were just a thought, and will love them until the day after forever. When you look back on these photos, you’ll remember when you held them in your hands, that first glance, their warmth in your arms, the beauty of what you created, and the memories that you and your child have created since then.

And This is Why We Push for Newborn Photography Houston

Because we know we are able to capture these emotions, package them in a container known as a photo, and give them to you so that, one day, you can open it up and re-experience those emotions as if it was the first time. We know how much these moments mean, because we know how much they meant to our parents, and we know how much they’ll mean to us when we have children.

Let’s Start Putting These Memories Together!

So, all summer long, save $50 with our Summer of Love special when you book a newborn session with Two Hearts Studios and Jessi Marri Photography. We also have packages that includes photo session for their first year of birth, and more! If you want to more information on the best methods of newborn photography, Houston, you can check out our Challenges of Infant Photography blog post.

If you want to book, have any questions or just want to say hi, call us at 832-329-3042 or email us at jessi@jessimarriphotography.com!

Las Vegas Wedding – Destination Wedding Photography

Las Vegas Wedding – Destination Wedding Photography – Jessi Marri Photography

I recently packed up all of my camera gear, hopped on a plane, and traveled to Las Vegas to photograph a very special Las Vegas wedding. It was the wedding of a childhood friend, which are the photos that are featured here today, but that isn’t the only reason it was so special to me. This wedding was also special because I absolutely love to travel! It’s always a great feeling when you get the opportunity to step out of the element that you’re used to and get to a place that you don’t get to go very often and do your favorite thing – and my favorite thing is to photograph weddings!

I am happy to say that I have multiple destination weddings under my belt. It not only includes this Las Vegas wedding, but I have been everywhere from places in the U.S., to Mexico, and Thailand! How cool is that?

I truly believe that when you’re in the process of planning a destination wedding that hiring the right photographer is on the top of the list of important priorities. Don’t you want to look back at all of the beauty that your wedding day was? Don’t you want to find someone that you just click with and you know they are going to provide you with everything that you’re looking for? The beauty of your wedding is captured throughout the whole day with me right there with you! From getting ready, going outside and taking photos in the beautiful scenery, capturing every detail – especially the love between the bride and groom!
I love traveling around the globe to capture weddings – and yours can be the next one! I would love to hear from you. Visit my Facebook page and give me a call. Let’s see how Jessi Marri Photography can best service your destination wedding needs!

 

Engagement Photography Houston

Engagement Photography Houston – Jessi Marri Photography

Telling the story of my couples is one of my favorite things at a photographer. I enjoy walking alongside my happy couple throughout their relationship. From the day they get engaged, capturing their love during an engagement session, to telling the story of their wedding day – it is important to me to continuously create an engagement photography Houston session that captures the couple not only in their element, but just who they are – their love, hugs, smiles, and even their styles.

The couple in the session that’s on the blog today has to be one of my favorite sessions to date! The groom is a pilot and planes play an important role in their life. So, how cool is it that we were able to incorporate a plane into their engagement session? We were able to use this location, get creative, and have fun being in their element around planes! I am passionate about doing sessions like this for all of my couples! I desire to give everyone the top-notch, creative, low-stress experience that Jessi Marri Photography offers!

Do you want the story telling experience of Jessi Marri Photography? Do you desire to experience an engagement photography session that’s low-stress, fun, and creative?

The Graham’s Pecan Springs Wedding

The Graham’s Pecan Springs Wedding – Jessi Marri Photography

On a perfect Spring day in March, family and friends came from all over to celebrate the union on Brandon and Jenny. The atmosphere during the whole day was absolutely amazing and it went by smoothly, just what this amazing couple deserved for their big day!

When it came time or these Aggies to see each other for the first time, you could see the emotion written all over their faces. This had to have been one of the best first looks I’ve witnessed because you could see the love and beauty that was soon to come together as husband and wife.

Throughout the ceremony, you could see the love and how proud their bridal party, fellow Aggies, family, and friends were of this couple. You could tell just how truly happy they were to be there to witness such a special moment for this couple.

When you walked into the reception, it was as if all of the decor and pieces in there were meant to be there and it all just came together so perfectly, exactly what this couple pictured for their wedding day!

Besides this Pecan Springs wedding being on a perfect Spring day, the day was a blast! There was tons of dancing and laughter that filled the rest of the night with so much joy!

Brandon and Jenny,
Thank you again for trusting me with capturing your wedding day! I had so much fun and it was an honor to play a part in your big day! I look forward to working with y’all in the future!
