Genuine and absolutely in love, that is what I would say if you asked me about Jodi and Bryce. These two are that couple that make you have one of those happy, yet dreamy sighs when you’re around them. They’re awesome together and so funny! She makes him laugh and he makes her giddy. Photographing best friends is an amazing experience and Gruene was the perfect backdrop for their engagement portraits. Congratulations Jodi and Bryce!

Ashton and Jason are a blast to be around. We had so much fun spending an afternoon joking around with them and shooting their engagement portraits. The way they talk, play, and share the same passions is truly inspiring to see in a couple. We began at the beautiful Vista at Seward Hill, then followed with a few shots at the greenbelt and in downtown Austin. These two are big Dallas Cowboy’s fans and we can’t wait to see the awesomeness that will be their March 2013 wedding!

It was a gorgeous Sunday and we had a great time with Nicole and Tom, shooting their engagement portraits at the capitol.  Tom is a good friend and former co-worker. His adoration of Nicole has always been obvious by the way he spoke of her, and after spending an afternoon with them it is plain to see just how in tune they are with one another. The way they interact, the way they look at each other, they way they joke, all speak volumes about their love and relationship. We wish them so much happiness and can’t wait to hear about the finalized wedding plans! Congratulations!

Fun, adventurous, loving, youthful, energetic, stylish…all words I would use to describe Natalie and Drew. There is something about their personalities and love that is so very alive with happiness and an energy that is infectious! I think anyone who knows them would agree. I left my evening with them feeling overwhelmed with just how special they are together. Their sweet daughter Edie makes it all complete, one sweet family full of love. It is hard to explain, but really these two are a breath of fresh air with their genuinely good hearted and honest qualities. Thanks for a great evening Natalie & Drew! We are beyond excited for their wedding this Saturday!

Ellen & Tom have an ease to their interactions that was really striking in the best possible way. Shooting their engagements was so enjoyable, first because they are an incredibly fun & sweet pair, but also because their love for one another is so very easy to feel. Each embrace, each glance, and each hand grasp was so natural…as it should be.

They met a few short years ago while at college in Indiana, where Ellen grew up, where Tom was born, and where they will marry in the near future. They called me on a Saturday and I shot these engagements the following Tuesday, so I didn’t get the opportunity to get to know them much before we started shooting but before the end of the session I felt like I was in the company of good friends. We began at the Cathedral of Junk before hitting up a few other Austin hot spots and ending in front of Chez Nous, where they shared dinner after he proposed. Congratulations Ellen & Tom! I wish you the best this life has to offer!

Thanks for an awesome Valentine’s afternoon you two!

You never know when or where you’ll meet your other half, but for Emily & Kerstan it came easy. They met years ago at a conference while they were both in school. Their love story continues today and if you spend even five minutes with them you’ll see why. They have a natural and playful love that brings a smile to my heart.  Couples like Emily & Kerstan make each shot special. Their March wedding is just around the corner and we are so excited to document them join their lives in front of their loved ones. The included their pup Hans & creative props. Enjoy!

Congratulations Emily & Kerstan! See you very soon!!

Brian & Kari are a sweet duo. We loved spending an afternoon with them & had the pleasure of meeting their sweet pups as well! These two have a connection that was obvious from the start. Brian and Kari met through mutual friends while living and working in Texas, but amazingly they attended the same college and grew up only 15 minutes apart from one another in Michigan. Meant to be is an understatement here people!

Big hugs to you Kari & Brian! You two make an amazing couple and we can’t wait for your July wedding!

I’ve known Lisa since kindergarten & she has always been the sweetest, sassy, beautiful person she is today. Greg & Lisa met at work and their love story continues today to be celebrated at their January 2012 wedding! We are so very excited for them both. They have a natural way of interacting with one another and being around them is to witness pure happiness. They fit one another perfectly and we just adore them. Congratulations you two! We can’t wait for all the love & adventure your future promises!

Erik & Sarah are such a happy pair! We had a lot of fun getting to know them during their engagement session. They have an amazing chemistry. We are very excited for their May 2012 wedding! We started the session in South Austin, where we walked around and grabbed a few images here and there before heading downtown. Erik has a way of making Sarah smile that is incredibly heartwarming and we really enjoyed our time with them. Congratulations of your engagement Erik & Sarah!
