Pinballz Arcade + Mueller Lake Park Engagement Photos | Emma & Andrew

Filed in : Engagement

Recreating one of your first dates is a good photo idea. Especially if that date was at Pinballz. 👾🕹️ This location is so different from most places I shoot, and it was such a nice change! Flashing neons lights, games to interact with, and tons of COLOR made Emma & Andrew’s session so creative.⚡️🌈 The […]

Hill Country Engagement Photos | Jordan & Taylor + Their Dogs

Filed in : Engagement

Imagine getting dressed up, walking through fields at sunset, dancing on a dock, listening to country music, and playing with dogs. A totally normal Monday night, right? 😜 We had the best time at Jordan & Taylor’s engagement photo session! We explored one of my favorite parks, and they were so so good at embracing […]

Laguna Gloria + Mount Bonnell Engagement Photos | Natasha & Ben

Filed in : Engagement

Getting to work with couples from the moment they get engaged is such a highlight of my job! Proposal photos are so fun, because they’re truly candid. Engagement photo sessions allow us to slow down, do some extra planning (that includes the person who got proposed to!), and make the photos our main focus. Ben […]

Austin Engagement Photos at Sekrit Theater + South Congress Ave | Alicia & Ethan

Filed in : Engagement

How in the world have I not shared Alicia & Ethan’s engagement photos yet?? That’s a testament to how insanely busy my Spring was. But IT’S TIME. Sekrit Theater + South Congress… What a great combo. 😄 They brought their adorable pug (and their pug wrangle/sister), which made their photos even more fun. I’m also […]

Eek! I have some really fun SoCo engagement photos to share today. I first met Dalied & Gabriel when he proposed in January at The Sekrit Theater.

Courthouse + Hotel Ella Engagement Photos | Ale & Zack

Ahhhh! I just finished editing Ale & Zack’s engagement photos and need to share them right now. We rescheduled their session twice because of below freezing winter storms.

After a couple of emails and one phone call with Faith, I already knew we were a perfect bride/photographer fit! She told me about her fiancé Jared and their plans for an intimate wedding at a riverside house in Sequin. They want to have a fun, low-stress wedding surrounded by their favorite people. Their ideal […]

Meanwhile Brewing + Courthouse Engagement Photos | Bree & Terrence

Filed in : Engagement

The best engagement photos include some type of activity that feels natural and fun. Doing something in your photos automatically makes them more interesting and personal. Bree & Terrence wanted to start their session at Meanwhile Brewing, one of their favorites (and mine!) in Austin. These photos feel like they were taken during a real […]

Romantic Post-Wedding Photos | Annalin & Spencer

Filed in : Elopement, Engagement

There is no “correct” way to get married. I love when couples throw the rules out of the window and create their own wedding experience. Annalin & Spencer did just that! A month earlier, they got married at the courthouse and had an after party with friends at GameOn ATX. I haven’t been there, but […]
