Bridal Portraits, Iconic Movie Moments, and a Courthouse Ceremony
This wedding at Brennan’s of Houston was such a fun combination of elegance, great food, and plenty of personality. We started with bridal preparations before heading into bride and groom portraits around the restaurant. The staircase and that incredible chandelier gave us some seriously gorgeous portraits. We also had to make a stop at the bar for a few photos by the iconic photograph of Shirley MacLaine and Jack Nicholson, from a scene filmed at Brennan’s for the 1983 movie Terms of Endearment. For movie lovers, it was such a fun little piece of Houston history to include in their wedding photos. From there, we headed to the courtyard for the ceremony. And these two definitely did not take themselves too seriously! Their ceremony was filled with laughter, jokes, and plenty of personality, making it feel perfectly them.
Nighttime Portraits and a Dinner to Remember
After the ceremony, we took some nighttime portraits in the courtyard. The evening light and atmosphere made for some beautiful romantic photos before everyone settled in for dinner. The private dining room was the perfect setting for an intimate celebration with family and friends. There was incredible food, signature cocktails, music, and even a fun photo booth that kept everyone entertained. And then came the grand finale: Brennan’s famous Bananas Foster! Watching the dessert being prepared with fire and sparklers was a show all on its own. It was definitely one of those moments that made everyone reach for their phones and cameras.
