Houston Wedding Photographer – Jen and Jonathan – Part One

A couple of weeks ago I posted a sneak peek of a wedding I covered on October 23, 2010. Jennifer and Jonathan got married on a gorgeous Saturday afternoon at an amazing location: Cole’s Country in Cypress, TX.

Cole’s Country is kind of a unique place, as it’s a large-ish ranch type place, but they have everything you need for a beautiful wedding. They even have a few Texas Longhorns (The Bovine variety, not the Scholastic type) grazing in the field. You can see these things in pictures, but it’s not until you see one in person that you realize how vast their horns really are. They don’t call them Texas Longhorns for nothing.

I’m posting this wedding in two parts. I seem to be doing that a lot lately. I guess there are so many photos that I really like, I can’t choose which ones to cut out. I know Jen and Jonathan are excited to see them, and guys, this is really just a small portion of the great shots we got. Jen also likes Black and White photos, and Vintage styled photos, so quite a few of these are in that form. But several have such bright and vibrant colors, I just had to leave them as-is.

Jen and Jonathan opted to have a ‘First Look’ session before the wedding. I LOVE when couples do this and take the time to see each other, calm down and soak in the gravity of the day before it flies by in a blur. You can read more about what’s involved in a First Look session HERE in an earlier Blog post.

The way Jen wanted to do it was to have a couple of shots of them holding hands on opposite sides of the tree, then turn around to see each other for the first time on their wedding day. And this is what happened… The Bridesmaids were great and liked the “Batter up” idea 🙂
They were a hoot!
The guys were just “Cool Hand Luke” all the way.

I hope you enjoyed part one! Look out for part two soon.
