This is a really special blog post for me. This is my very good friend Melanie and her man Gabe. Melanie and I have been friends for about a year. She is that kind of friend that God sends your way when he knows you need one. My friendship with Melanie has been a true blessing over the past year. I was so honored when she decided to hire us to document their wedding. I am so, so, so excited about it and know it’s going to be a gorgeous event, because clearly these two have GOOD taste. 😉
When you are trying to schedule a photo session outdoors during the winter in Texas you know you are going to have some issues. We had to reshedule Mel & Gabe’s engagement shoot 3 times because of weather and wouldn’t you know it the threat of rain was pretty serious on this day too, but we decided to go for it and I’m SO glad we did. The light was soft and pretty and beautiful!
We started out at The Winspear Opera House reflecting pool for some dressy, modern shots and then headed to my top secret woodsy location for some cuddly, cozy casual shots. I love both looks, but my favorite part of the shoot was at the end with the sound of water rolling by in the creek. It was relaxing and cozy and they looked like a Ralph Lauren ad. LOVE! Dressy, Modern + Cozy, Casual Engagement session= Mission Accomplished.
