Diana & Carlos

Diana and Carlos were married at the UH Chapel and held their reception at the beautiful Petroleum Club, on the 43rd floor of the Exxon-Mobil building downtown. Diana and the girls got ready at the funky-posh Hotel Zaza, where we headed down to the lounge for some WOW pre-wedding-bridals in Diana's delicate and perfect Melissa Sweet gown. Deep reds being a theme for the day (in the vibrant florals), we happened upon a plush red couch that worked very well with the color scheme.

After the ceremony, we were able to get some nice shots among the rows of arches down the sides of the chapel (three cheers for sunlight!), and then the bride and groom headed to the limo through a festive tunnel of periwinkle-blue streamers waved by the wedding guests.

For the reception, guests arrived to find their place-cards mounted atop wine corks, and "oooh'd and awww'd" when they saw Diana & Carlos' new monogram displayed prominently on the dance floor, via spotlight and gobo. The view from all around the room was of the Houston skyline-- through floor-to-ceiling windows. Luckily, the guests were treated to a dinner of several courses, and I had plenty of time to take some long-exposure shots of the beautiful scenery!

Many thanks to Kelly of Eventology Weddings, who coordinated the wedding.
