Straight from the middle-of-the-night keystrokes of Aric himself, Aric’s newsletters are full of thoughts and real world examples about photography and the business of photography from the point of view of Aric. No matter what the subject matter, there’s always a photographic tip or a new resource for you to discover. Aric’s newsletters are free [...]

So, I had a consultation in the studio the other day, and I heard a story told from my guest.  I’ve heard it before.  Basically it was the horror story of the client never getting their wedding album, or what ever product they had ordered from their photographer. They are of course telling me this [...]

Last night I photographed a reception at one of the most exotic and beautiful locations in Houston.  The Gem Exhibit at The Museum of Natural Science.  Absolutely amazing! Red carpet covers the floors.  Black ceilings.  Dark wood walls.  Wait staff everywhere with fantastic food and drinks.  Glass cases cover the walls containing the most beautiful [...]

The Bella Terrazza, The Tuscan Villa of Garden Oaks, and The Chef’s Table were all wedding and event facilities owned by Titus Inc.  While we are not sure of all the alleged details, as we have not verified the facts , we do know that these three facilities were recently closed overnight and over 100 couple’s weddings [...]

View Our Wedding Portfolio It’s 1:45 am on Sunday, and I am just getting in from my wedding.

Most churches in Houston are very strict with the photographers photographing weddings during the service. Normally, the same rules apply to every wedding. I am not allowed to use a flash, nor am I allowed to advance further down the aisle than the furthest occupied pew. I wear rubber soled shoes, so that I’m not [...]

When I have time to watch TV, one of my favorite shows to watch is a British automotive show called Top Gear. I have to record it because I never have the time to watch it when it’s actually on. Top Gear is smart and fast, and it’s all about cars. Cool cars. Guy stuff. [...]

Mariam and Waddah were a fabulous couple to serve! Everyone was so stress free and the party was fabulous! I really love the couples that hire me and then just set me loose without any restrictions. I was free to create! As an additional bonus Waddah’s mother and sister were able to fly in from [...]

The Gonzales / Dockal Wedding It was a hot and humid one in Houston… but it didn’t stop my couple from having a fantastic time! Here are a few of my favorite images so far. Church: Holy Rosary 3600 Milm Houston, Tx Reception: The Houston Club Aric C. Hoek – The Master of Shadows Solaris [...]

The Yentzen Wedding Last weekend we shot two weddings, and as promised here are the images. I say we, because as you may or may not know there are now two full time photographers here to serve our clients. So, from now on I am going to try and separate my blog entries into two [...]

Normally the images I like to display online are dramatic and moody. But today I will be giving you a bit more fun. There is still some drama at the brides house, and at the church during the ceremony, but mostly the entire day of shooting was one long party. Enjoy. Aric C. Hoek – [...]

I have found the secret to the ultimate good time at a reception. All you need to do is add some Marines and an open bar! Last Saturday we had a good amount of Lieutenants at the wedding and reception. The ongoing punch line was “Lieutenant Dan”. Turns out, this more than pleasant couple will [...]

Every so often I take an image and I just know that it is going to be good. I took this last Saturday, and all weekend I have been chomping at the bit to get to work on it. Without a doubt I will be adding this to my website. Normally, when a bride is [...]

The more weddings I am asked to record, the more variety I see, and this weekend was no exception. In fact, the wedding had already taken place, and I was involved with photographing the reception only, so there will be no ceremony shots in this entry. But what does make this a unique entry is [...]

I had a great time Sunday at their wedding. Their wedding was held at The Courtyard on St James Place, and went off without a hitch. Hope was dropped off in a horse and carriage. Trumpets were sounding. Aric C. Hoek The Master of Shadows Houston Wedding Photographer Want to receive notification of updates to [...]

It seems as of late I have been shooting nothing but bridal portraits, and I can’t put those up in fear of the fiancé seeing the images before the wedding. Here are a few from last Saturdays wedding at The Parador. The wedding coordinator for this event was Schwarts and Woodward. Aric C. Hoek The [...]
