Why you shouldn’t disguise your proposal as a photo session

Filed in : LG Tips, Proposal

I specialize in proposal photography, and I’ve helped plan many types of proposals. I’ve heard many made-up backstories; fake galas, fake birthday parties, and fake casual strolls around the lake. If you want to surprise your partner with a proposal, you may need to lie to them a bit. It’s kind of weird, but it’s […]

Travis County Courthouse weddings have turned out to be some of the most fulfilling and fun parts of my job. Who would have guessed?

Horseshoe Bay Resort Marriage Proposal | Natalie & Max

Filed in : Proposal

#MarryMeMonday🥂 I just love Horseshoe Bay Resort. It has the vibe of a Caribbean hotel or a Colorado ski resort, but with a Texas hill country spin. It’s peaceful and remote in the best way. That morning, Max & Natalie woke up at the resort, went to breakfast, went jet skiing, and then had a […]

Cozy Winter Riverside Maternity Photos | Danielle & Nate

Filed in : Maternity

I met Danielle & Nate in the most random way! Not through the internet at all, but in person. Are we sure this is 2023?? A few months ago, I was standing outside of the Travis County Courthouse about to photograph an elopement, and Danielle & Nate walked out the door with a “we just […]

Duchman Winery Trattoria Lisina Proposal | Peter & Adrianna

Filed in : Proposal

#MarryMeMonday🥂 It’s always fun to photograph a marriage proposal that involves a big group of friends and family. It takes a bit more organization and planning, but for couples who want their people to be part of the experience, it’s well worth it. Peter & Adriana met during college in nursing school prerequisites classes. They […]

Villa Antonia Marriage Proposal | Daniel & Jennifer

Filed in : Proposal

It’s the first #MarryMeMonday🥂 of 2023! Daniel told Jennifer that he planned a photo session to celebrate their 5 year anniversary, which was on New Years Eve. This “fake photo session” tactic is one I’ve seen before, and I don’t always recommend doing this, because you have to do it juuuuuuust right in order to […]
