Sarah met Elaine & I back in 2006 at the Ballunar Festival at NASA when we were there for an Assignment:Houston Flickr meetup. Since then, we have all followed each other on Twitter, and we were so excited to learn there when Sarah & Jose got engaged in Japan — and even more excited when she contacted us (through Twitter!) to be their wedding photographers!
This is just a sneak peek of the fabulousness that was Sarah & Jose’s wedding. It was so full of details, and I loved, loved, loved that she picked a color scheme from one of my favorite stores, Paper Source, to craft their invitations, programs, favors, and so much more! Everything tied together so well – and matched the Pool blue sash on her dress, her sister’s bridesmaid dress, and Jose & his brother’s ties even! LOVE!
The Magnolia Ballroom in downtown Houston, Texas was the *perfect* setting for their wedding – it was so stunning! Everything ran so smoothly too thanks to Cidnie’s direction – I just love the venue, and she makes it even better! DJ Tera and MC Wayne kept the party going, got everyone out on the dance floor, and made the whole reception a ton of fun! We’re wrapping up the photographs right now, but I couldn’t wait to share some of the ones that we showed at the slideshow there at the wedding!
Oh goodness, sometimes I just love the surprises I find when we go through the photos later – I knew I was getting reflections in the mirror of Sarah’s mother, and I just loved this look of joy reflected on her face right after the kiss!
They even carried the theme colors through on the cake, and Sarah made the cake toppers! Aren’t they precious? I just adore them!

These photos turned out absolutely gorgeous!!! I’m starved now for something sweet after looking at the cake! O;)
What a beautiful venue. Great photos.
I love the Magnolia Ballroom! I would have chosen it for my wedding but it was unfortunately too small.
Great shots Christine and I agree what an amazing looking venue
I love how the blue sash of her dress is paralleled by the blue ribbon on the ceiling! 🙂
Ahhhh! I love them!! You have just quadrupled my anticipation for seeing the whole set. 🙂 Thank you so much — needless to say, you and Elaine did an awesome job and it was great having both of you there.
Yay, yay, yay! It is so much fun to see all the details together on the wedding day after following along as Sarah made all her decisions and blogged about it. I love the wide angle shot from the back (shocked you are I know!) with the chandelier. A wonderful sense of space. So many happy, happy smiles.
These previews are great! I can’t wait to see them all. 🙂
Sarah & Jose make a great couple. I love the venue they choose and shown beautifully in your wide angle shot showing the ceiling and chandeliers.

What amazing photographs! Sarah and Jose are one of my most favoritist (that is now a word) couples ever. I love how you were able to capture their personalities- Jose’s thoughtful and gentle demeanor and Sarah’s enthusiasm and happy heart.
Really, really well done.
