Oh, HOTNESS is about the only way to describe this couple. I just fell in love with them from the moment they started interacting during this session. Taylor & Keaton selected some fun urban walls and a more city cool style for their locations and I LOVE it! It was great to get to check out some of my favorite local spots just down the street from my studio. After some steamy romantics and some general silliness (these girl cracks me up!) we met up with Keaton’s kiddos at Trinity Park for a mini family shoot. When a couple is getting married with kids it is so important to include them in all the festivities, even engagement photos. Can’t wait for the wedding next year at The Piazza! It is going to rock!

We first met Judy and Shawn at a local wedding show and from that meeting I just loved their personalities and their wedding theme – peacock with a little bit of Irish charm. Why Irish charm? Because they are getting married on the luckiest day of the year, St. Patty’s Day! We met up on a very blustery day for some fun by the Avanti Fountain in Dallas and then hit some of my favorite walls in Deep Ellum. Judy and Shawn came armed with a variety of fun props with my favorite being a massive peacock tail…ok, we didn’t parade around down town with peacock feathers on our behinds but we used a few feathers from Judy’s friend’s peacock costume. You had to see it to understand and OH how I wish I had the foresight to get a picture of me lugging it around. We had a good time laughing and Judy had some great ideas for pictures and I was happy to oblige. Best part of the session was Shawn REALLY wanting photos by orange doors, I love when groom’s have opinions and express them. See you guys in a few short months!
We really had one action packed day and for the second part of Sarah & Brian’s engagement shoot in Tucson we hit up some elevation. It was interesting to drive up the mountain and to see the changes from dessert to evergreen forest. Up in top of mount Lemon we rode the ski lift, took in the views and took some photos of course. As a Texas girl I have to say it was cool to have a different environment to shoot in and even better that two could be found so close. At Brian’s request we also ran into a skating rink really quck for some photos, his smooth talking got us in for free and no charge on skate rental for the last 10 minutes they were open. After a rare storm the sunset was to die for so our last adventure took us out into the dessert. The sky was filled with pinks and oranges.
