So…my name is Stephanie, not Eden ;)

Eden Grey is just the name for my company. It was inspired by my first trip to Australia. It never occurred to me that people would think that was my name. Plus, I'm just not that cool!

I'm a major animal lover. We have two boxers. We had a full wolf pack up until two years ago when our older two boxers, Hans and Bear passed away. Now it's just Eva & Brixxton. I'm hoping to rescue another couple of babies soon, just trying to give the two younger babies their time together.

I *LOVE* traveling. I'm a foodie, but also love the way I feel when I'm carrying on a healthy lifestyle, but at the moment food is winning. I love beer. Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy. (I didn't come up with that).

Favorite places & things: Anthropologie (duh), coffee, anything sparkly, making people smile, laughing and making myself laugh (only child thing).

I'm not as interested in how he/she proposed as I am what your favorite things to do together are. I want to dig a little deeper and be able to really pull out your personalities in your pictures. I want you to see the images and say 'Wow-she totally gets us'.

So let's do this.

Megan & Lee | House Plantation ~ Hockley, Texas | Houston Wedding Photographer

Megan and Lee.

Two people who were brought together by chance as we all are. He thought he would never get married, that he would never find someone he deserved. She says he showed her how to love and be loved. These words were a part of their vows.

I shoot a given number of weddings each year, but when a couple decides to write their own vows, which isn’t often, it gets my attention. And for a moment, even though I have a job to do, even though I’m there as a vendor and not a guest, I stop and listen. I hear the words that come out of their mouths as tears roll down their cheeks and they experience the happiest and most emotional day of their lives. And I smile. Because I get to share this moment. I get to capture it, and preserve it.

Then I take it home, view all the images and put together a story for you all to see. I become emotionally attached and it gets so hard to narrow down the ones I want to show you. I want you to see every detail, special moment, mid laugh and stolen kiss.

I hope you fall in love as I do with these precious moments in time.
