Craig Davis :: studio563

Hmmmmmm words that come to mind are….elegant, chic, thoughtful, romantic, candles, satin, timeless love and relaxed.

Laura and Chad are a very thoughtful couple, but do not necessarily enjoy being in the spotlight. Over the years Craig and I have come to the conclusion that no one is ever just “kind” or “thoughtful” unless it is intentional and at some point it becomes who they are. This is Laura and Chad. They come from families very similar to Craig’s in the sense that they maintain deep meaningful relationships. So naturally it became a large event even though that is not really their personality. Laura said ” I am so grateful that so many people came to celebrate our marriage.”

The amazing Mandy Millen with Every Little Detail Weddings and Events was the coordinator of this event. For those brides who teeter on hiring a coordinator, they are essentially the Coach of the team or Director of the play. It is really hard to enjoy your wedding, and for some planning one,  if you are in charge of handling all of the stress. She is on our short list of favs to work with in the Houston area.

The ceremony and reception were at The Crystal Ballroom at The Rice. Beautiful!

 

Her dress was gorgeous!!! It is a Lazaro and she purchased it from Weddings By Debbie. They always have an extrodinary  selection.

If you would like to see her Bridal Portraits Click HERE . Absolutely outstanding and so far has been heavily commented on in the wedding industry.

They had many of those “special” moments that brides and families long for and that can only really happen when the couple is relaxed. This one is no exception. This is Laura’s grandmother who she is extremely close to….a simple bracelet is no longer simple when it is from someone you adore.

This is their “first” look …….ooooooo the anticipation.

Then on to signing the ketubah. For those individuals who do not know this is the signing of the marriage agreement and is very important in a Jewish ceremony. In short it is an agreement that outlines the responsibilities and rights of the groom in relation to the bride. In an age where people don’t always take responsibility I love and respect this part of a Jewish wedding!!!!

Darryl & Co. Darryl & Co. Darryl & Co. What can we say?? You always aim to please and go beyond our expectations. Susie’s Cakes did a phenomenal job as well. They really are a top notch bakery!

Laura and Chad took lessons for their first dance and did an amazing job!!!! Ballroom dancing is much harder than it looks and they made it look easy (especially in a wedding dress).

And for my favorite part the romance…….

 

Hope you enjoyed this entry. I can honestly say this blog post does not do this wedding justice and I would need to post about 30 more images so  you could experience every piece of this wonderful event we had the pleasure to be a part of.
