Amanda & Sterling got married at The Magnolia Hotel located in downtown Houston, TX on August 30, 2014. This was the first wedding that Kim and I had the pleasure of shooting, after our wedding 2 weeks before! We had just got back from the Azores (Portugal), and we had a chance to catch up on a little sleep before their celebration. We arrived at The Magnolia Hotel about 2 hours before the ceremony for some getting ready photos, and bridal party shots. Upon arrival to the hotel, I realized that it was opening day for college football. The entire Magnolia Hotel was occupied with LSU and Wisconsin fans! They were literally everywhere. Being that the hotel is located right next to Reliant Stadium, it made for quite the atmosphere! It was good for laughs, but it did not handicap our ability to get some fantastic images of Amanda & Sterling’s wedding. Their ceremony and reception were being held on their own private floor, so the environment was private to their event. Amanda & Sterling were an absolute pleasure to work with. They are both outgoing, fun, and are a blast to photograph. When I looked around the room at their reception, it was very clear that they have a very strong network of friends and family. I loved working with them, and am very honored to have been a part of their wedding day. There are quite a few shots that stand out to me in this collection. My favorites include Amanda’s bridals in the hotel lobby (with LSU fans EVERYWHERE!), the rooftop photos (taken mid reception), and of course their daytime portraits on the streets of downtown Houston. I would like to give a shout out to my lovely wife Kim for helping me out with this one. Here are my favorite shots from Amanda & Sterling’s wedding. Enjoy!
