San Marcos, Texas Engagement Session


Oh, these two. This session. When Kathryn contacted me about taking her engagement photos with Curtis, I knew I had to say yes! Kathryn & Curtis used to play for a band that I previously photographed, and I had an absolute blast working with them. I knew their engagement session would be no different!

Kathryn & Curtis wanted to have their engagement photos taken at the spot where Curtis first asked her on a date (she said no at first, but it all worked out eventually!) - Rio Vista Park in San Marcos, Texas. I was so excited to capture a good old-fashioned San Marcos love story on the river. There's truly nothing better!

I met up with Kathryn & Curtis first thing in the morning, and because Kathryn is a barista, she brought me my favorite drink, a vanilla matcha latte. My clients are just the best! I love to incorporate a lot of movement and prompts into my couples' sessions - I find that creating a safe space to play and be silly helps create my signature joyful and authentic style of photography. Posing tends to come naturally once everyone is relaxed and having fun during our session, so I prioritize this movement and silliness particularly at the beginning of my sessions to help everyone warm up and feel more comfortable in front of my lens!

Naturally, because this is a San Marcos, Texas engagement session - we had to get our feet in the actual river! Being in the river first thing in the morning on an overcast day was nothing short of magical, and I think you can really feel that magic in the final photos.

Of course, no San Marcos, Texas engagement session on the river is complete without a little splash fight! There was simply no other way we could have ended this sweet session. I love working with clients that aren't afraid to get a little messy and who crave authenticity over perfection. The best part is that when we shoot for that silliness and authenticity, the photos become perfectly YOU! And that's what I'm all about. :)
