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.

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!

Colleen + David: Engaged

Colleen & David!

I spent a glorious afternoon shooting all over town with these two. These two are ‘Austin meets London’, with Colleen, a native Austinite and David hailing from London. It’s always a little tricky for me in engagement sessions where it’s my first time meeting a couple, especially when I’m not shooting their wedding, but I instantly felt at ease with these guys. They are fun and easy to chat with, plus they are a great fit for each other. That always comes through on camera.

Thanks Colleen & David (plus the lovely Becky Brock for bringing us together)

Sarah + Eric {and Brock} : Engaged

Lovely Sarah + Eric!

We met on a windy and slightly overcast day for their engagement shoot, but boy do I love a cloudy, moody day! It gives such a nice look to photos. Plus, they brought their doggy, Brick, who is adorable and helped me create one of my favorite engagement images to date! (You’ll know it when you see it below).

Big thanks to Sarah and Eric who are a joy! I can’t wait to photograph your wedding!!

Jennifer & Justin: Engaged

Jennifer and Justin booked me from afar while they were living in Florida. They always knew they’d be coming back to live in Austin and have their wedding here, but in the meantime were planning their wedding long distance (which I know allllll about – I did that myself). We had chatted on the phone, but I’m sure they were wondering what they’d gotten themselves in to.

They are awesome and JUST my type of client. I am even more excited about their March wedding now that I’ve met and spent some quality time with them. They even trespassed with me! Clients that will break the law with you are really the best kind.

Can’t wait for the wedding! See you guys soon!

Stephanie & Jesse

Stephanie and Jesse are cute! They have just relocated to our fair city from North Dakota! Hello climate change.  I really enjoyed my time with them. They are adorable and very natural posers. They have a natural ability to know how to sit and stand together.

As I have lived in the south the majority of my life, I was the incredulous one who kept asking “Really? That cold? And so you would go outside and everything? Amazing!” They are happy to be here and I’ll say that we’re better off for having them. I can’t wait to hear all about your wedding this summer!

Also, in case any of you are wondering, I would TOTALLY travel to North Dakota. Haven’t made it there yet.

 

 You all know I love an almost kiss.
