Houston, TX Wedding – Whitney and Gene’s Summer Wedding at The Dunlavy

Whitney and Gene’s sophisticated, yet simple summer wedding was a day full of cheerful family and friends, delicious foods and constantly flowing drinks,  a seriously picturesque backdrop, and two playful, yet sincere lives becoming one family!

We started off our day with Gene at Hotel Icon.  After a few drinks and lots appreciation expressed over the painting Whitney bought her hubby-to-be, it was time for Gene to suit up!

Whitney was all smiles the ENTIRE day.  ALL.DAY.LONG.  Not a hint of stress, but rather happily savoring every moment!  And her mood was contagious!

After lots of hugs and a few photos with her family, it was time to get married!!!!  And their venue, The Dunlavy, was absolutely perfect!

And of course Bella Luna Bridal & Occasions had the evening prepared and the party already started without a catch!

One of the things I admired the most about these two, was their ability to laugh at any moment!  Watching them beam with happiness, then the next moment joke around, its like they were made for each other!
