Let me tell you, this was the longest engagement session ever, I am officially dubbing it ‘the marathon’ session. It included a dinner break! And, this shoot was a kick off to one hectic week of shooting 5 sessions in six days. (A mistake I won’t make again because the editing back log is killing me!) But, these two were so much fun to photograph and we had one hell of an adventure together.

Heather and David wanted to grab a few quintessential ‘Austin’ photographs around South Congress with bright colors, so this is where we started out session, praying that the rain would hold off.

Then we headed out to Dripping Springs to the Duchman Family Winery and Damian Mondola’s restaurant Trattoria Lisina. If you haven’t made a trip out there, GO now! Its gorgeous, the winery has a great tasting room and the Damion’s restaurant is amazing! (he is a part of the Carrabba family and has Mondola’s Italian Markets in case you are trying to make the connection.)

These two love each other, look after each other and truly are best friends. I can’t wait to see them get hitched next year!

Then these two treated me to the most amazing pizza ever…yummo! We sat out on the patio, waiting for the sun to go down and the twinkly festive lights to shine. So we could get one last shot of the night.

Big hugs you two! Looking forward to your wedding.

Oh my god, this shoot just sings to my soul! You will see why soon…

Robin and Andrew are two very down to earth wonderful people that I am so happy to have met. They are both architects whom have experienced amazing adventures around the world together. I am seriously jealous of these two! I think Chris and I are going to have to start planning some more adventures of our own soon…

They both had studied architecture school at A&M, but lost touch after graduation and didn’t even realize they were both living in Austin until one day, they randomly bumped into each other crossing the street at 6th and Lamar headed to a concert at Waterloo Records. So this is where our shoot begins!

 

Their engagement story is un-friggin believable! And (apart from my own on the Charles Bridge….love you babe!) is one of my favs. Andrew had been designing  the perfect engagement ring with a local jeweler that used stones and platinum from both of their families for about six months hoping it would be ready before they departed on their latest adventure to Africa. Unfortunately, it wasn’t quite ready yet and he would have to wait until they came back to pop the question. After a four day back packing trip through Malolotja Nature Reserve, on top of a mountain peak at sunset, Andrew couldn’t let the moment pass by. To quote their wedding website  ‘Andrew asked Robin to marry him and spend a lifetime of adventures together. Her response was a resounding, "of course!" He proposed with a woven silver and giraffe tail hair ring made by a local silver-smith.’ And when they returned home, she was given her engagement ‘bling’ I mean ring.

Robin got the best of both worlds! Good job Andrew!!!

While I would have love to revisit the mountain top in Africa with them for an engagement shoot, we settled on a little Austin adventure to some of its great native environments nearby.

Seriously, this is one good looking couple! 

And this is where my heart starts to melt and I let out a big sigh…oh how of love these next images. I can’t even express how much they make me feel the love between this couple…

 

Love you guys! I had the best time on this shoot. Can’t wait till the wedding in a few weeks! Big hugs!

I am so excited to be photographing Melissa and Mathew’s wedding…this couple is awesome, they are relaxed, easy going and love to laugh! We first went to Town Lake and then hit up some great spots on South Congress for their engagement shoot a few Saturdays ago.

Even a shirtless old fella jogging doesn’t kill their little love fest!
