There’s something truly wonderful about seeing someone you love in love! I was over the moon when my cousin, Katie, asked me to shoot an engagement session for her and her fiance, Max. It’s been a privilege to watch their love story blossom from meeting and falling in love while in college at University of Florida, through living in separate states as they began their careers, and now as they make their first (super cute!) home together in Austin, TX. Their families are both from Pensacola and they’ve made so many memories there together, so it was only fitting that while they were home this summer, Max proposed on an afternoon walk along the beach. For their engagement session they wanted to incorporate some of the great outdoors and cityscapes that are the essence of the Austin vibe. They love running and biking around Lady Bird Lake together, so that was our first stop. It was great to incorporate water for these beach lovers. Our next spot was in East Sixth, which is filled with stunning wall murals and lots of creative energy. I feel so blessed to have captured these two love birds in their fun, exciting new city as they start this new chapter of life together! Congrats, Katie & Max!!
