Sandra + Andrew: Austin Engagement Photographer

Posted in Engagement

Sandra and Andrew are a travelling couple.

Sandra is from Mexico, Andrew is from Miami, Sandra currently lives in D.C. and Andrew currently lives in Colorado. Dizzy yet? They met as graduate students at UT, and, as many people do, fell in love with Austin, so they will be having their wedding here in the fall at the always gorgeous Four Seasons. They both flew in for their engagement session as were rewarded with an ah-mazing day. They are super natural with each other in front of the camera and their edit was insane. SO many photos to choose from!

Something fun we did a few weeks after the session (when the two of them were back in town) was a little photo preview party at my studio. Andrew’s parents were also in town, so we made a time of it with champagne and treats. If any of you are ever interested in something like this, please let me know. It was SO fun for me to see people’s reactions to their photos and I think it made the experience a little more special.

Thanks so much Sandra and Andrew! I am so happy we got to spend this time getting to know each other. I can’t wait to see how the plans come together this fall! Shannon Cunningham is an Austin, Texas wedding and portrait photographer.

Allison + Ace: Austin Engagement Photographer

Posted in Engagement

We all knew the summer heat was coming – we had it good for a while there didn’t we? Unfortunately, Allison and Ace shceduled their session for that first, really hot, steamy day this summer. But because they are troupers, we got some fantastic shots anyway. These two are Austinites, but are getting married in Mexico next year.

Thanks so much you two! It was great getting to know you and laughing for a few hours on a hot summer evening!!

Kristin + Nik: Austin Engagement Photographer

Posted in Engagement

When you see a certain flower that is in this part of Texas for a very specific time period, you will know how behind I am in blogging.

My slow blogging does not mean I love these two any less though. Kristin and Nik and I had a great time during their engagement session. We battled traffic on South Congress during first Thursday, wind, the threat of rain – pretty much a full plate of drama as far as shoots go. It didn’t matter how weird the circumstance, though, these two were calm and trusted in me. They are so lovely together. I think you’ll agree.

I can’t wait for your fall wedding! Thanks to Barbara of Barbara’s Brides for bringing us together. (Aren’t we all dreaming of fall this time of year?)

Michelle + Angus: Austin Engagement Photography

Posted in Engagement

Michelle and Angus met while working at the Capitol and started dating at a work party at The Four Seasons (That’s the short version. The longer version is super cute, but it’s not mine to tell).

I shoot at the Capitol Building and the Four Seasons quite a bit, but it was extra special at this shoot because both of those places had special meaning to Michelle and Angus. I HIGHLY encourage you to think about a special place for part of your engagement session. It doesn’t have to be anything grand or extravagant. The bus stop you both waited at, a bench at a park, in front of the Alamo Drafthouse or bar where you first met. Anything that has meaning to you as a couple will make a meaningful photograph. You’ll be able to tell your grandkids your lovestory and have a photo of you looking beautiful in your special place.

Moving along…I love Michelle and Angus. They are so sophisticated and stylish – check out those gold shoes and sweet boots!

We braved a windy morning and had a great time. Congrats you two and thank you!Wind is one of my biggest challenges when shooting, but sometimes it is so romantic. Love this one. Shannon Cunningham is an Austin, Texas Wedding and Portrait photographer.

Alex + Ethan: Austin Engagement Photographer

Posted in Engagement

Alex and Ethan are cool and love coffee. I can’t not love a couple that wants to get a latte in the middle of a session.

These two fab people are getting married in Mexico, but wanted some fun Austin city flavor for their engagement session. I love this session because I feel like we got a more cosmopolitan view of our city. I think it matches the two of them to a ‘T’.

Thanks for getting up early with me!
