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!

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!

Ashley and Travis – the Wedding!

We’ve really enjoyed photographing Ashley and Travis over the past few months – their engagement session was beautiful, and so was Ashley’s bridal session. Their wedding day was no different. The ceremony was held at TCU’s timeless Robert Carr chapel, and all of Ashley’s colors and flowers were festive, rich, and beautiful. The weather was perfect as well! The reception continued at Trinity Terrace, and they had such an original idea for the exit – all of the guests released balloons as they scurried into the limo! Ashley and Travis are such a sweet couple and we were delighted to photograph their day for them – take a look!

A Brother and Sister Session

I’ve known Pam and Steven since I was young. We attended the same school, Pam and Steven both took piano lessons from my mom, and Pam and I were in ballet together – fluffy tutus, those were the days! I was so delighted when their mom (the sweetest lady in the world) called to book this session. Spending time with Pam reminded me of many well-spent hours in high school, experimenting with beauty trends rather than being in class. Pam and Steven made this so enjoyable, and we had a lot of fun with all the beautiful light at the Menil Collection.  Many thanks to you two and to your absolutely wonderful mother – enjoy!
