Austin Engagement Photography: Joanna & Jesse

Sneak peeks with the newly engaged couple, Joanna & Jesse! This adorable couple meet on a blind date in Austin back in 2011 and have been together for about 5 years. Jesse proposed on their 5th anniversary at Mt. Bonnell in Austin, Texas. They love to travel internationally and will be having a destination wedding in Belize. These two were so fun to work with and are really sweet. We went to various locations and did a few outfit changes, so we got a variety of photos to pick from. These are some of my favorites! Email me for more information on booking an engagement session ;)

Austin Engagement Photography: AJ & Rachel

Sneak peek images from my photo session with my friends, AJ & Rachel. AJ decided to pop the question to his long time girlfriend, Rachel at the beautiful Mt. Bonnell in Austin, Texas on Saturday. He set up a whole day of pampering for her and then suprised her at the top of Mt. Bonnell with their two dogs and a beautiful ring, of course! These two will be tying the knot in North Carolina later this year. I'm so glad they asked me to capture their proposal ;)
