Cindy and Everett graciously traveled to Austin for their engagement portraits, and I couldn't have had a better time with them. Their love story is so unique, and their bright spirit was utterly infectious. It almost felt like we laughed throughout the whole shoot. Everett always knew how to make Cindy giggle, and all the sweet moments in between were just adorable and endearing. One thing I absolutely appreciated was how much trust they had in me and was always open to anything. They made my job way too easy, and it only makes me more excited to photograph their wedding in September.
Oh gosh, where do I even begin? I am still head over heels in love with these frames. Not only did my dream come true to photograph at Laguna Gloria, but more importantly, I got to see these two sweethearts again. If you guys remember, Joseph proposed to Sean back in June, but they drove down to Austin for their engagement session (it was also Sean's brithday!), and I cannot be more thankful for their adventurous and willing spirits. From start to finish, they stayed troupers as we battled the Texas heat and mosquitoes. I also can't rave enough about how fortunate we were that day because the lighting was gorgeous as the sun was setting, and everything that we thought to be a challenge turned out perfectly.
It was a special treat to spend this extended time with Joseph and Sean. I could sense that both were a bit nervous when we started, but over time, I loved watching them relax with each other. At times, it almost felt like they forgot I was photographing them! Joseph's humor always made Sean erupt into laughter, and it was adorable seeing them pause between moments to make silly faces and talk to each other. That's what I love most about engagement sessions and what I want every couple to experience when I photograph them. It just brings me so much joy to witness the progression of a couple's growth as they share about their future dreams and prepare themselves for a new season. I have so much excitement for Sean and Joseph, and I can't wait to photograph their wedding next May.
