Sarah + Jordan | Engaged part one

Man, 2010 got incredibly busy incredibly quickly! For the last half of the year I was working on school getting ready to graduate, move, and finish planning my own wedding! It was insane, to say the least. One of the best things to happen in 2010, though, was the engagement of one of my very best friends (and one of my amazing bridesmaids) Sarah to her long time boyfriend, Jordan. At the celebratory dinner for their big occasion, we started talking engagement photos! I was beyond excited and happy to be able to give them awesome engagement photos! Here are some from our first session this past week!

Maggie + Jimmy : Engaged

I met Maggie and Jimmy a while back this year to talk about hiring me to shoot their wedding. If my memory serves me correctly, it was...OH! WAIT! I have it written in my calendar! It was the 18th of July 2009! (Thanks, iCal!)
Anyway, I got such a great vibe and energy the minute we met! They are so fun, sweet, laid back, relaxed, and so totally in love!!

Their wedding is not until June 2010, and I wanted to work and see them before that, so we scheduled an engagement session right before I went on holiday! When I asked if Maggie had any suggestions for a location, she asked if the Capitol here in Austin would be alright. Want to know why? Because that's where they had their second date!!! How sweet is that?! It's such a great date idea, too, because let me tell you: the Capitol is BEAUTIFUL! I was so excited for this session!!!
























Maggie and Jimmy, I had such a blast with you two on this session! I know I said it during the shoot, but I totally cannot wait for your wedding! Thank you for everything!!!

Soon, I'll post a few pictures from my first Christmas with James as an engaged couple (and first Christmas we have ever gotten to spend together)!!

If I don't see anyone/post before it, Happy New Year, everyone!!!

Nate and Emily Engagement Photos!

First thing: this couple is so amazingly fun(ny), sweet, and so in love that it's just so great to work with them! They contacted me through a mutual friend and hired me to photograph their wedding this September. When we first met, I learned that both of them went to my current university (Texas State), and Emily was going to graduate May of this year. Well, she's done that, and now it's 150% overhaul on wedding plans! This girl is so smart! She's doing basically everything DIY! I love that - I mean, newlyweds are NOT immune to this economy, and she knows that!So, this past Saturday we ventured to our university (as alumni and a current student) to take their engagement photos! I had such a blast, and I'm very happy with the results of the photos!Second thing: The photos! Here are some examples!

Emily and Nate: I am so extremely excited for your wedding! Thank you again for including me in this process and on this very special occasion! Hope you like the photos, and I'll see you soon to give them to you!
