If there’s anyone I’d wake up at sunrise for, it’d always be my couples! Antoinette and Lei were traveling in from Thailand to visit family, and thankfully, we were able to fit in a couples session the day before they left! I’ve never been more in love with the lighting that day - it was soft and dreamy, and there was something inherently romantic about a Texas summer morning. I loved the quiet sound of the creek and the birds chirping, which made the perfect backdrop to capture these frames for Lei and Antoinette. It was truly effortless with these two. They were incredibly sweet and gentle towards each other, and it was simply beautiful to capture. I hope as you scroll these frames that you’d also feel those warm, snuggly feelings. Cheers!

When Katharine and James suggested photographing at Adriatica Village for their engagement, I didn’t know I was in for a surprise. It was such a dream. This location was modeled after European villages, with cobblestone streets, a lovely view of the water, and that quaint small town feeling. There’s no denial that it was such a scenic view topped with a gorgeous sunset and a slight breeze. One of my favorite moments was especially when they wanted to incorporate a nod to how they met, through Coffee Meets Bagel! I just couldn’t stop laughing because it was too cute! All that’s to say, Katharine and James were the perfect couple to work with, and running around, chasing the sunset with them is something I won’t ever forget. It’s practically what I live for.

It couldn’t have been more fun photographing Christina and Danny’s engagement session. They were recently engaged when Danny flew in to Austin to propose to Christina. Their summer session took place at Lady Bird Lake because the couple wanted their photos to reflect Austin’s natural yet urban styles, the city where their story began. Despite it being a ridiculously hot day (thank you, Texas), we were blessed with such gorgeous lighting. Everything just fell into place, and I appreciated seeing Christina and Danny ease into their session more comfortably and naturally. I loved their quirks, giddiness, sarcasm, and everything in between. It was fun to simply capture them and let the sunset guide us.

What a beautiful day. From start to finish, I could tell how much Diana and Matt love and are loved by their community and families. It was a day full of celebration, and I could tell that they planned their wedding exactly how they would want it. The spring air was crisp and bright, and I fell absolutely in love with the new Fairmont Hotel in Austin. Matt and Diana are both very relaxed people, and it really came through during their wedding. It was full of laughter, happy tears, and joyous worship. Even the little details were incredibly meaningful and special! Fun fact - Diana’s wedding dress was designed by one of her bridesmaids! Overall, it was a perfect day, reflective of Diana’s spunky sweet spirit, Matt’s calm steady nature, and everything in between. Cheers!

Chase & Vicky traveled all the way from Houston to have their photos done at their wedding venue! It was a beautiful quiet afternoon, full of gorgeous light, and I had such a fun time capturing photos and getting to know them better. So excited for their wedding this fall at this exact location!

P.S. Isn’t Vicky’s red dress just drop dead gorgeous?
