Celia + Dustin: Austin Engagement Photography

Hey, remember when it was sunny in Austin? I think Celia and Dustin got one of the last sunny days we have had!

I traveled down to Driftwood, where these two call home and had a delightful morning with Celia and Dustin. We laughed the whole time. Dustin was a little quiet during our initial meeting (as lots of grooms are), but wow did I find a playmate during our session! He is one big kid.I also got to spend an afternoon with Celia during her Bridal Portrait just a few days later. The more time I spend with these two, the more I love them.

I can’t wait to shoot this wedding at Vista West Ranch (one of my favs). It’s just a few weeks away!

Enjoy!

Stephanie + Paul: Austin Engagement Photography

Wow, was it cold the morning we did this session. Like, crazy-most-Texans-would-not-be-caught-dead-outside cold. However, the lovely Stephanie and Paul had come in from Houston, so we made a fun winter session out of it!

Stephanie and Paul and are an awesome combo of smarts, silliness and smiles. Despite the frigid temps, I had a blast hanging out with them and then almost getting kicked out of a bookstore {more on that below}. People, let me remind you the power of the phrase ‘But this is their engagement session.’ It is usually followed by ‘OK, then do whatever you want.’ Hooray for love!

Thanks so much for being such superstars you guys! I can’t wait for the wedding.

Stephanie and Paul love books and hanging out at bookstores (as do I!) . In fact, when we were finished with the shoot, I left them at the store. They may still be there for all I know! Hope you guys had fun at my favorite Austin bookstore! Thanks again!

Angelle + John: Austin Engagement Photography

I met Angelle and John on a slightly windy, overcast day. Sometimes this weather can really work with you in terms of setting the mood. Angelle and I had worked for a long time to get this session on the calendar and I’m so glad we did. Her and John and so laid back and showed up looking stylish!We did a little mix of urban and natural and had a great time. These two are just pleasant to be around and I felt like I was with old friends the whole time.

They were married in a small ceremony in New Orleans just a few weeks ago and I will tell you now I am so jealous I did not get to come shoot. I know you only had 12 people at the wedding, but New Orleans! I loved hearing about all the details. Congratulations you guys and I hope that you and the dogs are doing great!

Joey + Ryan : Engaged

I am not a morning person by nature. However, I LOVE morning photo shoots. There is a unique crispness to morning light that you don’t get at sunset. It’s not better, but it is different. When scheduling is difficult, I encourage you to think about a morning session and you too can have gorgeous morning light like Ryan and Joey did!

Ryan and Joey are smart as in S-M-A-R-T! Ryan is a air force surgeon and Joey is completing her residency in Obstetrics. Lots of brain power here. Lots of  love and sweet smiles too. Thanks for a great morning you guys!

We happened upon my neighbors at the East Side Show Room doing some sprucing this fine morning and because they are awesome, they let us shoot inside! With no one else there! Ahhh! So great.

Leslie + Ryan: Engaged

I wouldn’t mind if all sessions started with a trip to buy candy. The lovely Leslie and Ryan met me at Big Top on South Congress for a little sweet tooth break before we headed out to shoot. I love Big Top – so many colors! Leslie and Ryan have a very sweet way with each other. Neither of them are loud and crazy, but they are not shy and retiring either. They fall into that ‘just right and just right for each’ other category.  It was a great evening for me.

Make sure you see all these photos. You are going to want the awesome green dress that Leslie is wearing later on. I love that color in photos and it is flattering on lots of skin tones. It goes on my ‘most definitely approved for engagement sessions’ list.

I know this one is a little soft, but there is something I just love about it. It looks like a fashion ad to me.

The day had started out overcast, but just at the right moment, the sun peeked out and we were able to get our sunset pictures. I love this light so much.

Nicole + Tyson: Gruene Hall Engagement Session

I love this engagement session!

Mostly, because I adore Nicole and Tyson. I met them at the bridal show last September and after I gave them some information and it was stashed into a bag, Tyson leaned over and told me ‘That’s the good bag’. First of all – I made the good bag! Second of all, what a smart way to work the bridal show. Anyhoo, this was another one of the ‘so, so hot’ engagement sessions. We were excited because it was 99 degrees instead of 104, but it was hot none the less.

We had a lovely evening strolling around downtown Gruene. Nicole and Tyson did a wonderful job of choosing locations that are important to them as a couple. They spend a lot of time in Gruene together and also enjoy a little shuffleboard, as you will see below.They are also the nicest, most fun people to be around. I enjoyed my time with them quite a bit.

I can’t wait for your wedding! Not much longer to go!

Chalene + Ethan: Austin Engagement Photography

Oh wow, I really, really like these two. They have mad chemistry, are stylish and incredibly fun. They just rolled with my non stop babble and silly jokes.

I am so fortunate that I am getting to know them and will photograph their wedding. It’s all through serendipity, but I couldn’t be happier!

Thanks so much for such a lovely evening you two!
