Miso soup. Skinny mirrors. And towels straight from the dryer. Faux leather. Gelato. And mineral powder in light ivory. These are the things I’m thankful for.
But mostly? I’m thankful for a merciful God in constant pursuit of my heart. And for the Grace that is Jesus. I’m grateful for a husband who is cleaning the house as I type, without prompting. He is the greatest companion I’ll never deserve. I’m thankful for a family who lets me call nearly every day of my life. Three weeks will quickly reunite us! I’m thankful for a job that lets me live my passion. To create art.. I’m beyond grateful for my blogging community. And I’m both honored and completely humbled by my clients. All thanks belongs to them, for letting me in on their lives. And for inviting me to be part of their stories…
On this Thanksgiving, I’m especially thankful for Kata and Drew and the way their love is so easily captured because it’s so readily on display. I’m also thankful I finally learned that it’s “Kate-Uh,” and not “Catta.” But mostly? I’m thankful that “We’re totally camera shy” really meant “We’re total rock stars and we will BLOW. YOU. AWAY. with our fierceness.” Word. We spent Tuesday afternoon shooting it up at Houston City Hall, and it was GAH-mazing.
K & D: For a lack of other words, thank you! I had a blast shooting with you guys and sweet, BIG Henry. Can’t wait for February! XOXO!!.jpg "Kata & Drew_Houston Wedding Photographer_01")

I’m pretty positive Kata has to be some sort of fashion-guru. I mean, f’real.Ahh!! Drew looking studly. And Kata looking GORGEOUS. I love this shot. :)There’s something about this image that makes me so happy inside. The warm and fuzzy kind of happy.Aaand BAM. Good Lawd, let me wake up and have Kata’s legs.LOOOVE.Kata, you are breathtaking. No. Matter. What.I just loved watching Drew admire his girl. :)Isn’t she some sort of European supermodel or something?This moment? It was as real as they come. I’m so thankful for the honor it is to capture real love in this way.And I leave you with a couple more of Henry, downtown Houston’s favorite dog.

The Parador Wedding: Kata & Drew | Alyse French Photography | Houston-Based Wedding and Lifestyle Photographer - […] Kata and Drew‘s wedding was one I’ll remember always. Yes, because of the images. Yes, because of the cuh-razy dance party it became. But mostly because of how it made me feel to be a part of it. There is power and joy in choosing to love. In choosing to honor. In choosing to celebrate. And in the words of Kata’s father, “There’s a big difference between happiness and joy. And today? We feel joy.” Nothing could’ve been more true. […]
