Hazel West Photography

Hello, and welcome to our blog! We, Gisele and Kristin, are Texas wedding and portrait photographers based in Houston. After our initial meeting all the way back in kindergarten, we have been inseparable since. We discovered photography together in high school yearbook, and we continued to pursue it throughout college and after, eventually realizing that our onetime hobby had blossomed into a career. We consider it a privilege to capture the moments, events, loved ones, and memories in people’s lives, as we know that the photographs we give you will tell invaluable stories to your family for years to come. From weddings, to babies, to family portraits, and pets, we love what we do - and you can see that in our work!

      We are members of Professional Photographers of America, which you can find at www.ppa.com.  We use the highest quality professional equipment, and our style is modern, simple, beautiful, and timeless. The secret to our work is our own practiced blend of photojournalism, art, and a way with people. Contact us today at info@hazelwestphotography.com, and thanks for checking out our site!

Rayla and Andrew – the Wedding!

Here’s a preview of Rayla and Andrew’s wedding at Ashelynn Manor – what a fun night this was! We truly enjoyed photographing such a happy group of people, and it was hard to narrow these down to just a few for the blog post. The wedding party was made up of expert jumpers, as you can see, and Andrew had cleverly given all his groomsmen airsoft guns to provide for pre-wedding activities – as I said, this was a fun-loving bunch! Thanks again to Rayla, Andrew, and your lovely families. Enjoy!

Lisa and Andrew – the Wedding!

Lisa and Andrew are such an adorable couple, and we had a blast at their wedding. We couldn’t get enough of all the wonderful purple and orange details and flowers, as you can tell! These two decided to see each other before the wedding, which we just love because it’s such a great time for photos. Their wedding took place at the Houston Museum of Natural Science, and we definitely fit some dinosaur and gemstone shots into our schedule. Several other things we love about Lisa, Andrew, and their wedding: the adorable notecard guest sign-in, the Rockets cake, and the monogrammed cupcakes – pure photography joy! Once again, the beautiful florals were designed by Laura with SCF Events, who is so talented. Lisa and Andrew, thank you so much for allowing us to be part of your wedding day – enjoy!

A Huge Thank You!

Thank you, Hazel West brides and grooms! Gisele and I are already so lucky to be able to spend our days doing what we love, photographing weddings, but we’ve also been blessed with an incredible and kind group of people to photograph. We are thrilled to announce that Hazel West has been rated by local brides and voted The Knot Best of Weddings 2010 Pick! We’ll soon have the Knot banner on the blog and website. This surely makes our day… and to make yours a little more delightful, here’s a gorgeous bouquet from Lisa and Andrew’s recent wedding. The incredibly talented Laura from SCF Events designed these… have a beautiful day!
