I’ve been photographing proposals for a long time, and it’s probably my favorite thing that I do. 99% of the time, I’d say that my client’s priorities are in the right place. In my opinion, that means… What do I consider to be bad priorities? Welllllll…..Trying to impress other people, caring more about the decorations […]

That is…until Meghan & Anthony’s elopement this summer! I don’t know what took so long, but THANK YOU to M&A for choosing me. I literally know this venue like the […]

#MarryMeMonday🥂 This is why I tell people to 𝒕𝒂𝒌𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒊𝒓 𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆 after a proposal. This isn’t a photo session. Your proposal is bigger than the photos. Talk, enjoy the moment, and truly ignore me. Some of the best candid photos are taken in the moments afterward, so there’s no need to rush into taking “posed” […]

#MarryMeMonday🥂 Braxton proposed to Sarah at the Japanese Garden bridge at Zilker Botanical Garden in downtown Austin. 💍 These photos are a good example of how the garden looks like in the Winter/ early Spring. It looks so good! Braxton & Sarah’s sweaters also made their photos feel extra cozy. I loved watching Sarah’s surprised reaction. […]

Natalie & Jesse!!!! I feel like this is not enough exclamation points. What a fun engagement photo session. 🤩 They kept me on my toes…dancing, spinning, and dipping the whole time. I always tell couples that movement is the key to taking authentic, personality-filled engagement photos. They had NO problem with this. We took their […]
