In May of last year I got to photograph Amy and Ben's beautiful wedding at Tallwood Baptist Church, followed by a gorgeous reception at Lakeside Country Club. Amy and Ben are both so kind and were such a pleasure to work with. Here are some of my favorites from their special day.

Thanks, Amy and Ben, for asking me to be a part of y'all's big day!

Stephanie and James' Wedding

Stephanie and James were a joy to work with, and I was so excited when they asked me to be their photographer. Stephanie's mother, Susie, is one of the best florists in Houston, and I often photograph her beautiful work. I knew the club was going to look incredible for her daughter's special day, and it certainly did! Stephanie and James' ceremony was held at. St. Luke's United Methodist Church, followed by a very fun reception at the Houston Country Club. But the party didn't stop there. Everyone headed over to the Hilton on Post Oak to celebrate until the wee morning hours. As you can see by the photos, everyone was having the time of their lives!

Thanks, Stephanie and James, for a great time working together, and for asking me to capture y'all's day.

Alafair and Bruce were so much fun to work with! They had a beautiful wedding at St. John's the Divine, followed by a reception at the Houston Country Club. The guys began the morning shooting clays at George Bush Park, which was a fun break from the normal pre-ceremony photos.

Here are some of my favorites from a wonderful wedding day. Thank you Alafair and Bruce for asking me to be your wedding photographer!

I had the pleasure of working with Katherine for her wedding, and I cannot find enough wonderful things to say about her and her husband, Michael. They're both such fun, kind and genuine people, and they're true encouragers...they're those kind of people that after you've hung out with them, you just feel great!

Here are some of my favorites from Katherine's bridal portrait session at the River Oaks Garden Club Forum. I'll be posting photos from their wedding soon.

Sally and Mac's Engagement Portraits

Chris Bailey — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 23:11:03 +0000

Here is an engagement portrait session from this past summer with my good friends Sally and Mac, who got married this past July in Biloxi, Mississippi. We had a blast together, and perfect weather for our shoot at Washington on the Brazos (the birthplace of Texas), outside of Houston.

Also, congratulations to two other great friends, Christine and Nate, who are getting married today. I will not be photographing this one, just enjoying it! But I did get to take Christine's bridal portraits in late December, and I cannot wait to post them. We did a session at Enchanted Rock outside of Fredricksburg, Texas. Photos will be up on the blog soon!

Here are some of my favorites from Sally and Mac's engagement shoot.

Conspirare- New York

Chris Bailey — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 22:53:16 +0000

Last February I had an amazing opportunity through fellow photographer Karen Sacher, to work with a chroal ensemble called Conspirare, lead by Craig Johnson. The group had traveled to New York to preform around the city, and Karen and I followed them for a couple days, taking photos of their performances and rehearsals. I also did some portraits of Craig.

Listening to their group was extraordinary and deeply inspirational! Craig is a very kind person, and is so passionate about what he does. I loved watching him work and orchestrate the group with such love and intensity. It was a gift for me to witness an artist so connected to and passionate about his work and craft. I look back at this trip last February with such fond memories. Anytime your in New York creating work, it is wonderful, but to accompany Craig and his group, it was an experience I'll never forget.

Please visit their website, www.conspirare.org, to read about their group and mission, and to see a listing of their upcoming shows in Austin, Texas.

Yellowstone Academy-Brown Event

Chris Bailey — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 21:27:52 +0000

Over the coming weeks, this blog is going to blow up with TONS of overdue posts. We're going to get caught up finally, and I've got a plan to keep us on track and current throughout 2012. But for the next couple of weeks, we'll be looking back in time...

Like WAY back for this one! But I just love so many of the details from the shoot, and I certainly love every chance I get to feature Yellowstone Academy and everything they do. This event was hosted and made possible by Jill Brown of Brown. She has a fabulous store near River Oaks, and hosted a silent auction event for Yellowstone Academy in...I'm embarrassed to say this because I'm just now posting these photos...November of 2010...

Nevertheless, it was a wonderful event to support the children of Yellowstone!

Here are some of my favorite shots of the night. Thank you to Brown for hosting such a beautiful and wonderful party, and for supporting the children of Yellowstone Academy.
