Houston Wedding Photography : Love Lee Glimpses

May 14, 2010 // bridals / engagements / photography / weddings

I left Texas on Sunday and headed west to California with my family. I got a chance to attend a really great workshop (The Style Lab) and take the family to our first trip to Disneyland. I wanted to post some sneak peeks of what I've been up to since before I left for California! As you can see, with all the sneak peeks I've been posting, I got a lot of blogging to catch up on!

So here you go...a wedding, an engagement, a bridal session, and a sneak peek image from the workshop!

Here's a picture that Edmond took of Madeline and I at Disneyland. We were riding the carousel at Fantasyland.

Will you come to my Love Lee party?

May 6, 2010 // weddings

So if you aren't doing anything on Wednesday, May 26, between the hours of 6PM and 9PM, I would absolutely, totally, completely, and utterly be delighted if you would join me, along with the ladies of TwoBeWed, Casa de Camera and Studio B Images, for our open house party! Everyone is welcome :)

It was almost three years ago that I joined with TwoBeWed. I loved the idea of having a comfortable and peaceful environment, totally dedicated to weddings, where I could meet with my clients. The best part, we're like a little family at our new house. We're this great community of women, running our own businesses, taking care of our families, and still making time to enjoy life :) It was sad to leave our old location, but as soon as I saw our new place, I knew we were home! It's our little house in the city and we'd LOVE for you to drop by :)

The past week Madeline has been going through her first cold and cough. It's so hard to watch your baby when she's feeling miserable. At her age, you can't give her any medicine (although with all the medicine recalls I don't know if I'd want to anyway). All you can do is keep baby comfortable and just ride it out. Here she is, staring up at me. When she looks at me like this, I always want to sweep her up into my arms and hug her, kiss her cheeks, and smell her face!

Love Lee Glimpses

May 3, 2010 // boudoir / bridals / engagements / families / weddings

I don't think that there's really one wedding season in Houston. Sometimes the whole year feels like one big wedding season. I'll say that it's definitely spring wedding season and summer's season is just around the corner! I've been super busy and for those of you who take the time to follow my blog, first I'd like to say, "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Second, instead of posting an entire event right now (because it's about 3AM and I just finished working on some stuff) I thought I'd put together a handful of sneak peeks.

The past month or two, I've had something of everything on my calendar lately - weddings, babies, boudoir, bridals. Here's just a sprinkling of some Love Lee Photography. Enjoy :)

There's a Filipino tradition (at least in my Filipino family) to have a roasted pig at extra special family occasions. Madeline's baptism counted as one of them. My brothers and I all have pictures just like this one from when we were babies. I wish I had them with me so I could post them! Here's Maddy's first "lechon" picture for our family collection.

A Love Lee Wedding: Lisa and Ben

April 26, 2010 // weddings

There are a ton of reasons I love Lisa and Ben. Not only did they have a Midsummer Night's Dream themed wedding, not only is Lisa now my facebook friend, not only is Ben a huge Astros fan like me, not only did their guests do the entire Thriller dance correctly at the reception, but also, Lisa and Ben made me cry. Not in a bad way. They made me cry when they emailed me the nicest note. I can say that I have shot nearly a hundred weddings now and every single time I show people their images, I'm still freaked out and nervous. It's my interpretation of one of the most important days of their lives and I want to get it right. Lisa and Ben's note just made me think to myself how unbelievable it is sometimes that I get to do what I love for a living. Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Taylor for trusting me.

These were taken at one of my favorite gelato places. My favorite flavors are pistachio almond and banana cream pie. And now, Maddy likes banana cream pie gelato ;) Even though the image of Maddy and I is out of focus (which I know wasn't intentional because I handed my camera to my 12 year old cousin) I loved it as soon as I saw it. There I am, holding my baby girl while she laughs and all you can see in focus is her hand on my shoulder. I hope she'll grow up knowing that she'll always have it. My shoulder for support, for crying, for resting, for laughing, for anything...

Lisa Taylor:

Oh my gosh! Now you're going to make me cry - Lovefest! :D Thanks so much, Margaret, for everything! My mom got one of the photobooks and she carries it with her, showing it off to everyone. you're famous in Burleson, Texas! Seriously, though, it's amazing work, and we love it!

A Love Lee Wedding: Roslyn and Donny

March 19, 2010 // weddings

Roslyn and Donny were married in a sweet and intimate ceremony at Roslyn's family church. Before they said "I do," they decided to see each other first. I love first looks. You can't ever fake or pose or create the type of emotion you get when two people see each other for the first time on their wedding day. Roslyn and Donny planned ahead to see each other at the River Oaks Garden Club. It was the perfect setting on a perfect day.

I remember Donny telling me that he knew Roslyn was getting closer because the "click-click" of my camera kept getting faster as she approached. When she tapped him on the shoulder and he turned around, it would not have mattered if I were there. It didn't matter that the wedding party was watching from a distance with huge smiles. Seeing Donny break into tears as he gazed upon his beautiful wife-to-be let everyone watching know that all these two needed, and all they would ever need, were each other. The love I saw at that moment was remarkable.

Today my baby girl is 8 months old. She's growing up so fast! As I was feeding her this morning, she had it in her mind that she was going to feed herself today. I didn't want to fight with her so I let her try. This is what happens when I let her have her way.
