These two met one night at a Country & Western dance club in Austin, and once he asked her to dance, sparks started flying right away! To really show off their connection, it was only appropriate that their engagement session take place out in the country. And when I say country… I mean serious, beautiful horses, long dirt road, grown over pastures, COUNTRY. We even had to break out the bug spray for this one! I left with a few bug bites, and a branch under my car from our off road adventure, but it was definitely worth it. Country perfection I tell you! The horses clearly mastered the art of photo bombing, and a little rabbit even wanted to participate in their session. Luckily, those are the only animals we came across out there in the middle of no where! These two claimed to be nervous in front of the camera, but did great once we got going. Especially when they started dancing in the middle of the long dirt road as the sun started setting, right before we finished up. When they started talking and giggling amongst themselves, you can definitely see those sparks! So flippin’ cute. It’s great to see how happy they make each other! They’ll have a while to perfect their moves for their first country dance as Mr and Mrs next May, and I’m definitely looking forward to it!!

A Yummy Engagement Session
Engagements, PetsI have been excited about posting this yummy engagement session since before the session even took place when I was back in Texas not too long ago! This is my sister-in-law, her groom-to-be, and their fur baby Raad. How cute is their little family!? I just love that they included Raad in their engagement photos, but let’s be real…that was to be expected. After all, HE was the one who asked her to marry he and his dad (on a note that was tied to his collar). ;-) Raad is even going to be in the wedding. Just as he should be! I’m so eager to see the three of them get married in November!! As odd as it may seem to some, I refer to their session as yummy for two reasons: 1.) Because the sun light and weather were just about perfection to take beautiful photos. Even for Texas standards! It’s the little things, and another great reason to get even more excited about their session. 2.) Because anyone knows these two, KNOWS they they know a thing or two about really good food. They just happen to be major foodies in Austin, and the Mr-to-be is even a chef at one of the most popular restaurants downtown! Anytime I need a great recommendation in Austin, they are the first people I contact. That leads me to another of the many reasons that I got so excited about their session… they chose to take the second half of their photos in front of the “Butter Half” mural in east Austin! There couldn’t possibly be a more perfect option for these two! We had so much fun during their session. You can tell from a few of the photos below that these two are super silly…lol. What I didn’t expect (or think about) was how great it would be to see how much they both really adored each other. It’s a great feeling to see your family happy in love! I had to include a few photos of her beautiful ring also! Butttt, unlike most couples the groom-to-be has an engagement ring also. A ‘MANgagement’ ring, as they called it. It’s their thing. Maybe it should be A thing…? Either way, I hope you enjoy looking at their photos at least half as much as I enjoyed taking them!
