Every photograph on this page is a wedding we planned and designed. No styled shoots, no stock, no work borrowed from a previous employer. The venues are named, the photographers are credited, and the details are the ones the couples actually chose.
A country chic wedding built around a ballroom that could take scale without losing warmth.
The ceremony was in the chapel, with the altar decorated around the cross and the bride’s train arranged along the aisle for the portraits. The groom wore a custom chocolate brown tuxedo, which sounds like a risk on paper and was the best decision in the room.
The reception ran on farm tables with crystal candelabras and white floral centrepieces, over a custom dance floor carrying the couple’s monogram. The exit was fireworks, and the couple left in a classic Cadillac.
Photographed at both the Bryan and College Station sides of the venue.
Two weddings’ worth of design ideas in one property, and the source of several details we are still asked about.
A whimsical floral bridge in pastel colours ran over the wooden farm tables, which is the sort of installation that reads as excessive in a plan and as inevitable in the room. The place settings used gold rim chargers with watercolour napkins, wax seal place cards and chiffon runners. Pastel centrepieces with candles carried down the length of the tables.
The dance floor was custom and colourful, and the first dance dip photographed on it is one of our favourite images from any wedding we have done. Later in the evening the couple poured a champagne tower in front of their guests.
White and blush roses with baby’s breath used generously rather than sparingly, which softened a reception space that can otherwise read hard.
The flat lay from this wedding pairs the invitation suite, illustrated with the venue itself, against the florals. Illustrated stationery is one of the few details that costs relatively little and shows up in almost every photograph a couple keeps.
Two moments from this venue sit in the gallery.
The first is the bride with her bridesmaids, all of them looking at her dress rather than at the camera, which is the kind of photograph you cannot direct.
The second is a Vietnamese couple sharing their first dance with sparklers lighting the background. Sparkler entrances and dances are harder to run than they look. They need the venue’s permission, a fire safety plan, someone briefed to light them in sequence and a photographer who knows the exposure in advance. When the coordination is right you get this. When it is not you get smoke and a fire alarm.
Black and white, done properly.
A geometric dance floor anchored the reception, with crystal vases on the tables and a multicultural couple and wedding party photographed on the floor itself. A monochrome palette is unforgiving because there is nothing for the eye to forgive. Every line has to be right.
A softer, warmer palette on a property with the outdoor space to support it.
Tall pastel floral centrepieces on the reception tables, purple accents against gold flatware, and a luxury table setting built to be looked at closely. Outside, the couple were photographed next to an emerald green cake surrounded by colourful flowers, against the treeline.
Coloured cakes come and go as a trend. This one worked because the colour was chosen against the actual garden it would be photographed in.
A Chinese bride and a Spanish groom, and a seating chart designed as a wall of books.Seating charts are usually the last thing anybody thinks about and the first thing every guest reads. Building it around something the couple genuinely care about turns a functional sign into a piece of the design, and it gives arriving guests something to talk about in the first two minutes, which is the awkwardest part of any wedding.
A fusion wedding for a South Asian bride and a Korean groom, held by the water and surrounded by fire red and magenta florals.
Fusion weddings are the most demanding work we do and this one is a good example of why the colour decisions matter. Two families with different traditions around what a wedding should look like, and a palette strong enough to belong to both rather than splitting the difference into something that belonged to neither.
A few things recur across this portfolio because they work harder than their cost suggests.
Custom dance floors
They appear in weddings at Sandlewood Manor, Sans Souci Ballroom and The Weinberg at Wixon Valley, in monogram, geometric and full colour. The floor is the largest single surface a guest sees and it usually belongs to somebody else's design. Taking it over changes the whole room, and it is cheaper than most couples assume.
Stationery that matches the venue
The Peach Orchard invitation suite was illustrated with the venue itself. Paper is one of the few things a guest holds in their hands, keeps, and photographs, and it sets the expectation for the day weeks before anyone arrives.
Place settings designed to be looked at closely
Gold rim chargers, watercolour napkins, wax seals, chiffon runners. Guests spend more time looking at eighteen inches of table than at anything else in the room.
Something to read on arrival
The book wall seating chart at The Bell Tower did a real job. The first two minutes of a wedding are the most awkward part of the evening for a guest, and giving them something to look at solves it.
One decisive colour
The emerald cake in Cypress, the fire red and magenta florals in Corpus Christi, the chocolate brown tuxedo in Bryan. Rooms that photograph well usually have one confident decision in them rather than five careful ones.
A few honest notes about this page.
The photography is by professionals we worked alongside, credited in full below. We did not shoot it and we do not claim it.
Design credit is shared. A wedding is built by a team, and the florists, rental companies, bakers, stationers and venues in these photographs did the physical work of making the design real. Our role is the direction, the sourcing, the coordination and the running of the day.
What you will not find here are styled shoots. A lot of planner portfolios are filled with them, and there is nothing wrong with a styled shoot except that nobody was getting married, no guest list existed, nothing had to survive a real schedule, and the budget was shared between five vendors who all wanted the images. Real weddings are harder and they photograph differently.

If something here is close to what you are picturing, or usefully far from it, that is a good place to start a conversation.
