Sunshine Winters Photography

I was so happy when Summer called me and told me that she was getting married and she wanted me to be her photographer. We have worked with each other in the past and have remained friends. When I met with her and her fiance Bob, I asked them about the proposal. Well, it was suppose to happen in Napa but didn’t because of family obligations it ended up happening at La Carafe on of the oldest bars in downtown Houston. I was excited to go back to their spot and create some photos that would capture the romance they share with one another.

On the day of Alicia’s Bridal Session, mother nature was not exactly on our side to do any photos outside. So, we did her photos here in the studio. Her dress had a long train and so it worked so beautifully draped along the spiraling staircase. Alicia is a runner and wanted to do a pic like a run-away bride, but she promised me she would not be running on the wedding day.

I decided to help my boyfriend out with marketing his new bar The Lot on Washington. Football season is now here and he just installed a huge screen tv for the outside patio. It is really awesome. Its about 10ftx14ft. and it is super clear. So, I thought what a better way to get the guys attention to let them know The Lot is the place to be to watch your favorite teams is by taking some great photos of the hot bartenders that work there at The Lot. The girls loved the idea and this is what we got! Come check out the bar at 4214 Washington and look for the Big Red Sunshine in the sky. You will also find some of my travel photography illuminating the walls.

A mutal friend of ours introduced us to one another. Nidhu and Oneil had already been married for one year. Their parents arranged for them to marry in India. Since most of their friends and family here were unable to make it to the wedding they decided to have a big one year anniversary party at The Parador. They are meant for one another. They are so sweet to each other and they look like they belong together. They had a colorful and festive party with lots of dancing. The party lasted all night I heard. They took the after party to Reign Lounge and danced the night away.

I always hate to hear when brides walk away from their wedding day not happy about their photos. It’s really the only thing you have to look at to remember your big day. I know how important my job is and I do everything I can to make all my brides happy. Suhair was not happy with her photos that another photographer had taken and she had seen my photos and cards at Maison de Mode. She wanted photos that she was proud to hang on her walls and show off to her friends and family.

So, she called me and we made a date to take some photos. We decided to start with some studio shots first just because of the heat outside. I didn’t want her to melt to much. It was fun to be able to take some with her hubby too. We set out to one of my fav spots for bridals and because she was already married, we decided it would be fun to jump into the water and just play. She loved the last photo. Sometimes really great things come out of something gone wrong. I’m glad I was able to give them the photos they always wanted and will always cherish!
