"It's an engagement, not a crime."

"Then let them see. It's an engagement, not a crime."
Vicomte Raoul de Chagny
One of my favorite lines from Phantom of the Opera, and I just have to use the quote here, as Phantom is one of Brittany's all time favorite movies! This first shot shows off her lovely engagement ring, and you Phantom fans will catch the tribute in the black-ribboned red rose!


Last week, we spent a fun afternoon downtown with Brittany and Alex who will be getting married this December. They are both big movie buffs, and since their first date was at a movie theatre, Brittany wanted some photos taken at a movie theatre. Their first date was not at this particular theatre, but she was looking for an old-fashioned style movie theatre and came across the charming River Oaks Theatre.


From there, we drove down to Tranquility Park for some more traditional (and non-traditional, as you will see) engagement photos.


Okay, so for the non-traditional, since they are movie buffs, I begged them to add some props and let me do a little tribute to Indiana Jones. These two were so much fun to work with!

Wow -- the drama -- what a gorgeous couple!!!















In addition to being movie fans, they LOVE football, BUT there is a twist . . .

She is a Cowboys fan, and he LOVES the Texans, how will this relationship survive football season?













Christmas in July? Not exactly, but their December Wedding will be Christmas themed, and so just for fun, we added the Santa Hats to celebrate the fact that they will be husband and wife by Christmas of 2009!!!

July . . . Houston . . . Afternoon humidity . . . Fur Hats . . .

Yes, I know. I owe these two big time! Thank you both for being so agreeable to my non-traditional ideas, we enjoyed our afteroon with y'all even if it was hot and muggy!

I just got my Save the Date, Brittany, it's beautiful! We are looking forward to your Christmas Wedding!

Best Wishes and . . . Merry Christmas in July!!!
