Would you like to contact Aric about photographing your wedding?H

As your wedding photographer, I will see all of the vendors you have chosen for your wedding. Or at least, I will see the products they have created to help make your event more personable and unique. For instance, I will see your wedding cake, but I may not see the individual who made the cake. Vendors like Videographers, DJs and Bands are different though, as these individuals need to be present, so I get to experience them as professionals and I experience their products as well.

Over the years, I have kept track of who I work well with, and who I would want to have at my own wedding. I’m already married by the way.

Please fill out the form below if you are in need of any of the following services.  I would not be referring the individuals below if I didn’t feel they weren’t the most professional and qualified individuals in their field in the Houston area.

I can’t begin to count how many weddings I have photographed.  I can tell you though that many of those couple go onto start families of their own, and a few contact me when they would like a family portrait created.  Many of these sessions are schedules around Thanksgiving and the holidays, so needless to say this is a busy time for my company.  However, I have recently been making sure to make time for the creation of my own family portrait.

Below is the Hoek 2011 family portrait with my very beautiful wife Toni, and my six year old twins Gavin and Katie.  And yes, I was running back and forth from the camera to get into the portrait.  :)

At each family session, if time allows, I work hard to create additional portraits of the the parents and the kids.  Below you can see I focused on creating individual portraits of my children.

Contact us today to have your own family portrait created.  We’ll discuss clothing and location.  We’ll digitally retouch the portrait for you and print a beautiful set of portraits to hang on your wall.  We’ll even make framing suggestions for you, and then we’ll personally deliver and hang your framed artwork.

Leave a comment below.  We would love to know your thoughts.

(Leave a comment below.  Which family portrait is your favorite?)

Recently we photographed The Green Family at one of my favorite locations, which really worked out well as the family had requested to have a bridge in the finished portrait.  Once the session was completed, we digitally enhanced the final selections to ensure we would deliver the finest quality possible.

Three separate light sources were used to create the first family portrait listed below.

The portraits were sealed with a protectant coating, stripped and melded to an artisan canvas giving the artwork the feel of a painting.  We then mounted the portrait on a hard backing to combat the Houston humidity.

Framing options were then provided, and as a final step of customer service, my assistant Angelica and I traveled to the Green residence to install the artwork in their home.
