Austin Engagement Photographs :: Heather and Rob

Wow, I had a great afternoon in Austin having fun and laughing a lot with Heather and Rob. We started their engagement session at the site of their first date, the fabulous Blue Star Cafeteria. A huge thank you to Nathan and everyone at Blue Star for being so accommodating. We ended the day perched high above Austin at Mt. Bonnell with a stunning sunset.

I’d be remiss if I didn’t give a shout-out to Heather’s wedding planner, Cortney Zieky of BZ Events for always being on top of the details! Brides, if you don’t have a wedding planner, please stop what you’re doing and hire an experienced planner NOW. You won’t regret it and your other vendors will love you for it!

Heather and Rob, I can’t wait for your November wedding!

I love this shot, probably my favorite. I just love the pink wall at the Blue Star, yayness!

I love it when couples can have fun and be themselves.

Sunset brings such pretty colored light.

Ok, let me explain. Rob is a huge Star Wars fan and he brought along a fun prop as a bit of a joke, but since I’m a total Sci-Fi geek I loved it. I think Heather’s expression explains her feelings, but she was a great sport!

San Antonio Engagement Session :: Kristin and Cody

I met up with this pair of cuties at the new Pearl Brewery area in San Antonio. When we set the location for Kristin and Cody’s engagement session I didn’t know Cody works for one of the companies involved with the construction of Pearl Brewery. So, in additional to a fun afternoon of photographs Cody filled me in on some of the cool sustainability practices used in the construction.

A few of my favorite shots…

Congratulations Kristin & Cody!!

Austin Portrait Session :: Beth and Patrick

I have a soft spot for the state of Kentucky and every year with the first tease of cool weather in Texas I especially miss those crisp KY mornings when the Sugar Maple trees are ablaze with fall color.

A beautiful afternoon in Austin with Beth and Patrick, both KY natives, was the perfect dose of Kentucky for me. Beth, your accent makes me smile!

My favorite. I love the sun peeking in.

Another great one from the fields.

Austin Engagement Session :: Karen and Wade

I’m always a little nervous when the first time I meet a couple in person is at a portrait session. Building a rapport before a session helps me learn about the couple and helps them have a comfort level with me and the camera. My worries were quickly put to rest when I met Karen and Wade on a gorgeous fall day in Austin, TX. I could not have asked for a more relaxed, laid-back couple. Although Karen admits to not being very into the wedding planning these two are so personable and easy going I’m certain their Charleston, SC wedding will be fabulous.

My favorite! I love the texture of the door especially in b&w.

I really like the graffiti on the lower right corner.

I think they were hoping I was joking when I asked them to sit inside a large concrete culvert that we stumbled upon. This was shot through a hole in the side of the culvert.

Same set of doors from the first photo but in color. Still just as awesome.
