So if anyone knows of a good place in kingwood, humble area please tell me about them. Also any help as to what would be or make a good picture will really help. I am new to all this and only done children in action so please help.

Also, if they don't mind traveling a little, the Woodlands has a lot of nice photo locations. (waterway and portofino center) Look it up on google maps and scout around with streetview and satellite maps.

Portofino...for engagement pictures? Really? I wouldnt do that there, way too many people around.

We did our engagements on the waterway and honestly im not that happy with the fact that I can see cars in the background.

Yep, I've seen bridals done there, and haven't done a shoot there personally, but if you frame it right and use the scenery and columns and stuff to your advantage, it can look really nice.

I did an e-session not long ago at the waterway and I love it. Seeing cars in the background? Were you around the river? The place I'm talking about drops down below street traffic and you just see greenery, water, and other structures, but no cars
Granted, there are a lot of different spots on the waterway, I guess you have to pick the right one...s

Yeah, he did it on the overpass above where you are talking about...why, Idk.

Didnt think about it at the time, was just wanting it to be over. I hate having my picture taken.

There is the old bridge at 59 and the river in Humble, but it depends on what they are looking for. Do they have a favorite hangout? Off in another direction, Baytown Nature Center comes to mind, some interesting places to shoot there.

OK, don't freak. There is a cemetery around Humble/Kingwood. There are several HUGE oak trees. Big oak trees make perfect backdrops. You won't ever know you were in a cemetery. Assuming you line the sot up right. Where's Ben. He knows which one I'm talking about.

Downtown: The stairs/waterfall/bayou between the Wortham Center and Hard Rock Cafe. That whole part of downtown is cool.

That would be Brookside, Hwy 59 @ Lauder Rd...Very peaceful setting with lots of very old, very large oak trees......Ben

Thanks Ben!

thank you everyone. Just to give you a idea of them. They are young couple. He a barber that sings and plays the guitar. She is a realtor agent. They love outdoors. They are doing a country theme wedding. Out doors and a old small white church out in the middle of nowhere-(Not actually in nowhere). Any other good places. I heard go to local parks where there is a gazebo.

What church? Where? I'm always on the lookout for small white churches in the middle of nowhere.

At the aforementioned Brookside Cemetery, there is the old stone chapel, only it's not white......Ben
