  • Current news……

    Hi Everyone! I've been neglecting the blog these past weeks because things are so hectic around here! May is my biggest wedding month to date with 5 on deck, throw in some portrait sessions in there and I'm up to my eyeballs in nothing but sweet images. You should see a steady stream of bloggy goodness here soon, though. I still have a few weekends open this fall, but are booking for 2011. So inquire at mail@tresorphotography.com to get your date.


    Trésor Photography was named Best of Knot 2010 by Houston Brides and received a Brides Choice Award from Wedding Wire. Thank you sooo much. I love what I do everyday and it seems brides have seen my enthusiasm in my work. Check out the Best of List on newsstands today.


     

Rina + Barrie : Soon to be Married {Houston Wedding Photography}

05.21.10

Rina is a beauty – tall, leggy, with a great smile and the brains to boot. (getting her law degree – good luck on finals!) Of course the young brit Barrie fell in love with Rina back in England where they met. So naturally he followed her to good ‘ol Texas.  We went around the warehouse district in downtown for some great images of these two lovebirds.

Naturally, as a photographer you always want to find something that speaks to their relationship – and because Barrie is so far from home, I decided to show him the Black Labrador Pub.

It’s a little Londontown with all the ivy. I loved it!

And of course, just so he could show the guys back home – we had to get some skyline shots in.

We do have some beautiful buildings in downtown Houston I must say.

Rina and Barrie are making it official over the Memorial Day Weekend and I can’t wait for

all the color, culture, laughter and love at your ceremonies! The Plaza Downtown will be a sight to see!

Julie Edwards - The first and third really show their contentment. The phone booth shot is so unexpected in Texas! Fun!

Audrie + Chris: Engaged {Wedding Photographer in Houston}

05.06.10

There are many talented Houston wedding photographers that most times the decision to book one over the other comes down to personality. After all this time shooting weddings, I’ve begun to notice a pattern. I’ve noticed that most of my couples are very down to earth, a little shy, yet humorous and very much have built their relationships on the foundation of being best friends.

Audrie and Chris are no exception. They’ve known each other since middle school – but not until high school did they unite their hearts. They’ve grown up together quite literally, through the trials and tribulations of college and now as they succeed in their careers.

We started in the Heights but the sun was still a little bright, so we headed into the Canino Farmers Market to get some colorful sights and sounds. Who knew fruits and veggies could be so sexy.

After a quick change, we then left to the park that overlooks the bayou and I-10 and our Houston skyline.

Sunday afternoons are synonymous with laundry, being in pj’s and enjoying the comfort and warmth of your couch. And it was there – after a delicious spaghetti dinner that Chris made that he proposed. He asked her after washing the dishes if there was anything missing. Audie’s sweet tooth quipped, “mmm, dessert!”. Instead Chris got down on one knee in front of the couch and asked her to be his wife. Audrie says it was perfect, simple and genuine just like they are.

Congratulations Audrie and Chris – on finding love and friendship. Can’t wait to see you both happy and full of family and love in November at the Courtyard on St. James.

Michelle + Andy : Engaged {Houston Engagement Photography}

03.22.10

Michelle and Andy are wonderful people that enjoy a good wine. They’re pretty patient too – but more on that later.

For their engagement session they suggested we go to la Carafe – it’s a special place for them – and I immediately knew why.  La Carafe is Houston’s oldest bar – and probably haunted too! It has the best textures and characters and it is certainly a gem. I love how by just using the available light (which there wasn’t much of)  – I was able to create soft, moody and romantic images of Michelle and Andy.

 

For our next location – we headed towards Hermann Park. Apparently, with the onset of spring-like weather, everyone else thought it would be a good idea to go that day too. Michelle and Andy have a ton of luck on their side, and found parking almost immediately. I had no such luck and after what seemed like eternity, I finally caught up with them under Sam Houston. Thanks for waiting it out guys! Hope it was worth it!

See you at Haak Winery this Fall!

Deyanira + Javier : Short and Sweet

02.20.10

The sister my parents never gave me and overall best friend… Deyanira. Or Nira, as we call her. It’s really a full circle moment seeing her so happy and in love … and married. I can’t wait to see you in the next chapter of our lives.

Nira and Javier had a sweet civil ceremony on a weekday evening right before dusk. It was short on details, but long on emotion and love. About 30 of their nearest and dearest gathered in Judge Yeoman’s chambers (a legend in the Cy-Fair area) to watch his comedic skits as he married our friends.

Congrats to the Garza’s!

Carolyn & John {Houston Engagement Photography}

02.10.10

It was a cloudy foggy day in December. But we forged ahead. See clouds are actually nice for photography – they diffuse the light and create a soft glow. Nothing though, can diffuse the love between Carolyn and John, that’s for sure. We met at CityCentre on an early  Sunday afternoon – John was pretty chill coming with his own coffee to get going. I’ll try not to hold it against him that there was no coffee for me…. ha!

These last images were done at the new and fabulous Hotel Sorella. Hotel Sorella is a great option for modern luxury in West Houston. They are also becoming a quickly sought after venue location for weddings.

Carolyn and John, at first didn’t want an engagement session – but I suggested that we also bring along their girls. A wedding joins not only the couple – but families as well. Why not showcase the joy the children bring into relationships?

I can’t wait to witness their wedding ceremony at Christ the Redeemer Church come May. Wishing you guys nothing but the best for both of you and the girls!

Carolyn - The photographs were absolutely perfect!!! You were so accomodating in our hectic schedule and so amazing- especially when dealing with an unpredictable, impatient 2 year old. I recommend you to everyone!!!

Heather James - I love the hallways shots. That might be the coolest wallpaper I have EVER seen. You rocked it Michaelle!
