Tracy Salon & Spa
Since being professionally trained, makeup and hair styling has been my profession of choice for nearly 20 years now, and I still love every job, be it a photo shoot or makeup for a bride on her wedding day. I have had the pleasure of doing print ads, film, and doing runway shows for famous designers. I have been a senior Makeup Artist for Miss Vietnam Global Beauty Pageant held yearly at The MGM Grand Las Vegas.
I am available for everything from bridal makeup, red carpet, runway, photo shoots, tv/film (HD), special occasions and even lessons for the "makeup challenged". I use the finest quality products and tools for every job, from traditional to airbrush makeup. Thank you, Tracy.

Adam Nyholt, Photographer
Hey. A little about me? I'm a wedding and portrait photographer in Houston, TX. I have this philosophy about photography. It should be relational. How can I take great portraits of my clients, and really show their personalities, if I barely know them? My goal is to develop relationships with my clients so that we are more friends than anything else. This way, when their wedding rolls around, they feel totally comfortable with me around, and I feel I know them well enough to truly capture who they are in the camera. I also have a philosophy that photography should be creative, natural and unobtrusive. I avoid using buzz words like "photo journalistic." I just want my work to be real. And maybe a little raw. Just people being themselves– captured artistically in an image. I have a you-should-get-everything-you-want-and-nothing-you-don't policy when it comes to pricing. My 5 packages serve as starting points for us to come up with a custom package based on your needs. If you want to learn more, give me a call or shoot me an email. You can swing by my studio downtown, look at some of my gorgeous wedding albums (which are included in every package), and most importantly, see if our personalities click. Custom packages start at $4500
Comfortably equipped around $7000
The whole enchilada for $10,000+

Who Made the Cake!
Our main goal is to please our brides. We specialize in custom-designed wedding cakes. We believe the choice of your wedding cake is almost as important as picking that very special wedding dress that reflects your personality. You can design your own cake, pick from one of our many display cakes or from a picture in our photo albums, or you are also welcome to bring in a photo that you might like us to duplicate.
Our artistic confections can be buttercream, fondant, or a combination of the two. They can be adorned with our special hand made sugar flowers or fresh flowers. Our elaborate cake designs are rich and delicious and we have a wide choice of flavors to choose from. Our bakery has been written up in the Houston Chronicle and named as one of Houston's top cake designers by Town and Country magazine, and has had several cakes featured in the Houston Metropolitan Wedding Pages. Who Made the Cake! has also received the "People's Choice Award" at the Domanie Carneros cake competition in San Francisco, beating out entries from major hotels, large bakeries and cake artists from throughout the country.
At Who Made the Cake!, we use only the highest quality ingredients to ensure moist, delicious cakes that taste as delectable as they look. We are dedicated to quality work, and that is why we limit the number of cakes we take per weekend.
For years, we have made party and wedding cakes for many of Houston's socialites – even for a president of the United States. We are able to serve your guests from two to one thousand. We also make individual cakes that can be eaten at the wedding or packed in elaborate boxes as favors.
