Austin Engagement Photography: Jessica & Chris

I hope everyone had a wonderful Turkey day and survived black Friday if they went out! My family and I did the traditional dinner and finished the night with my brother’s delicious cinnamon bread pudding and Trivial Pursuit.

A couple weeks ago I got to shoot Jessica and Chris’ engagement session- we went to the very spot he proposed (in the first couple pictures). Both are graduates of UT so we had to show that Longhorn pride… by jumping over hurdles! There’s something really cool about seeing an entire track field with bleachers almost entirely empty, so we took advantage of the situation.

Huntsville State Park Wedding Photography: Yara & Victor

This past Saturday I, once again, left Austin to photograph Yara and Victor’s wedding. I really love being able to travel as much as I do- don’t get me wrong, I love my Austin weddings, but seeing new places is really fun to me. I had never been to Huntsville State Park before and it was gorgeous! Right on the edge of a beautiful lake surrounded by tall trees of various sorts. I have to mention that this wedding was all ‘do-it-yourself’ and I would never had known if I wasn’t around during the prep. Yara and her team did an amazing job cooking delicious Mexican food (major props to whom ever made the horchata!), decorating the tables and ceremony room with bundles of wheat, pine cones and pumpkins. The most stylish fall themed DIY decorations and attire I have ever seen! Here are some of my faves!

Props to: the Florist- Conroe Blossom Shop


and of course… the slideshow!!

Sarah & Christian’s Engagement Photos in Wimberley

I love finding new and interesting locations for Engagement Session’s! Sarah and Christian originally wanted to shoot in Austin with the city skyline in the background but things didn’t work out as planned. Instead we went to a Private Ranch in Wimberley owned by one of their friends, it was simply amazing! It was foggy and a little rainy on that particular day but that didn’t stop us, we actually embraced it! There were soooo many awesome backdrops for the shoot. I had a great time hanging out and getting to know Sarah & Christian before their big Wedding day next October. I know their wedding is going to be amazing. Here are some of my favorite images… Hope you enjoy.
