Austin Sekrit Theater + Mueller Lake Park Engagement Photos | Natalie & Jesse

Filed in : Engagement

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 […]

Jordan & Gwen! I called them a power couple, and it’s true. They’re both business owners, and they exude confidence and style.

What a fun engagement session! Megan & James brought their adorable dog Boston, and we explored one of my favorite parks. He made the session super fun, and Megan & James weren’t half bad either 😜.

Zilker Botanical Garden + South Congress Engagement Photos | Candice & Jamal

Filed in : Engagement

Candice & Jamal’s engagement session was too good! We took their photos at the Zilker Botanical Garden and on South Congress Aveneue. This combination of locations was great, and it’s hard to believe that they’re not very far apart. The blend of nature and city gave them a little bit of everything. Candice wore three […]

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 […]

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 […]
