Planning a wedding is already a big deal, but for Betty, it was deeply personal. As an Ethiopian bride in Houston, she wanted her big day to be more than just beautiful—she wanted it to reflect her heritage, her story, and most of all, she wanted to look and feel her absolute best.
But like many brides, Betty had some very real concerns.
“I was so worried I wouldn’t like how I looked in the photos. I don’t know how to pose, and I didn’t want to feel awkward. But from the moment I met JKPhotography, I knew I was in the right hands.”

The Wedding Day Experience
Betty’s wedding was rich in tradition—colorful outfits, meaningful ceremonies, and family moments that carried generations of love. We were there early, capturing her dress, shoes, jewelry, and all the little details she worked so hard on.
Her wedding was held at The Spari in The Woodlands, a beautiful venue that paired perfectly with her vision. The indoor space was elegant and gave us the perfect lighting to capture portraits that felt timeless.
During portraits, she quickly forgot about her worries. We laughed, we posed, we even danced a little. Betty glowed with confidence.
Betty’s Final Thoughts
“When I saw my wedding gallery, I actually cried. I looked beautiful. I felt powerful. These weren’t just pictures—they were memories I’ll treasure forever.”
