When your couple asks if you will help them make a “Save The Date” video while we do our engagement session, my answer will always be YES! It was nothing short of being EPIC!

Your engagement session does not have to be a field at golden hour.
It can be a library with soaring ceilings and stained glass light. A hotel bar with low light and rich interiors. A museum. An architectural landmark. A city street at dusk. Any place that has atmosphere, character, and a feeling that already belongs to you as a couple.
Location is not just a backdrop. It is the entire tone of your gallery.
The Armstrong Browning Library in Waco is one of those places that does something to a camera — and to a couple — that a generic outdoor location simply cannot replicate. The architecture. The moody, cinematic quality of the light. The feeling of being somewhere that means something.
This is the kind of session I love creating most. Not just pretty. Not just posed. But a gallery that feels like a place, a mood, a story. Something that is entirely and completely yours.
If you want an engagement session that goes beyond the expected — let’s talk.

ONE MORE MONTH!!! 😍💍🤍
-
I truly can’t believe it! The last 13 months (since our engagement) have FLOWN BY! With only 30 days to go until our wedding day, we still have A LOT to do!
-
We leave for Chicago tomorrow for our very last wedding planning trip!! We’ll be getting our marriage license (!!!) and doing a venue walk-through with all of our vendors (catering, floral design team, photography, videography, etc.)
-
Still have to write my vows, solidify wedding weekend outfits & accessories, and have one more dress fitting upon our return to LA at the end of the month! Wish us luck!!

sneak peeks loading… ⏳✨
and somehow these are just the beginning 😭
rachel & dylan’s sunset session at knox was one of those sessions where everything just clicked —
the light, the movement, the way they couldn’t stop smiling at each other 🥹
this is your reminder that your engagement photos don’t need to feel stiff or awkward
the best ones come from:
running, laughing, leaning in, and just being fully in it together 🤍
aka… the stuff that feels small in the moment
but ends up meaning everything later
save this for your future session ✨
because this is exactly the kind of energy you want to bring

Here’s a quick summary ⤵️
🔵 Communicate Clearly with the Couple - try to guide and direct them as best as possible to bring the vision to life
🔵 Bring a Good Selection of Lenses - capture varied perspectives by using different lenses and focal lengths
🔵 Keep an Eye Out for Framing and Composition - use natural elements, architectural details, or the environment
🔵 Capture Genuine Moments - try to showcase the couple’s emotions and personalities
🔵 Don’t Overlook Scheduling - harness “golden hour” for soft, flattering light
