Historic and gorgeous...it’s always a joy to photograph couples at the iconic @thedriskill Hotel located in downtown Austin since the 1800s! If you’re in Austin, it’s a must for delicious food and drinks and the 1886 Cafe & Bakery is one of my favorite brunch spots! 🥃💍 #driskillweddings #driskillhotel #thedriskill #thedriskillwedding #thedriskillhotel

Wedding Inspiration, Wedding couples, Detail photos, engagement sessions, photos of me working or something else?⠀ 3) What's your favorite pizza topping? 🍕⠀ me? Pizza 1: pepperoni, sausage and pineapple!⠀ Pizza 2: prosciutto, sautéed onions, mushrooms, goat cheese and a balsamic vinegar reduction. You know. Fancy pizza. 📷 photo of me by my AZ girl: @denisesaucedo

Classic beauty. Some of my favorite moments on a wedding day are right after a bride gets dressed and we take a few quiet minutes for “bridal” photos before heading out. I love seeing what dress and details each of “my” brides chooses and the back on this @allurebridals gown was simply stunning! @jessicaepresnall you are beautiful inside and out! 💕👰🏻 Dress: @allurebridals Planner: @barbarasbrides Venue: @thedriskill @kristinprindle

I love supporting local business and have been obsessed with @summermooncoffee since moving back home to Austin 5 years ago. Only problem with quality, local goodness is I refuse to drink Starbucks anymore. Especially a PSL. If you find yourself in Austin, do me a favor and try Summermoon! Their Autumnmoon will put the PSL to shame. Do you have a local business you LOVe supporting in your town? Tag them below and share it with us! ☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️ Fun fact, one of Summermoon’s co-owners Amanda and I graduated from Dripping Springs HS together! 🐅

💍You're engaged!?!?! I love engagement sessions and include them in all of my wedding quotes for several reason:⠀ 1) We get to know each other's personalities! Are you a serious couple? Are you giggly? Are you silly? Are you super romantic? Are you a mix of those? Also, we'll find out if you think I'm funny! The answer of course is yes.⠀ 2) Getting in front of a camera can often be intimidating. I know I get shy in front of a lens and it's my job! We work out the awkwardness, I promise.⠀ 3) Inside jokes. I'm all about them. Don't put it past me to save them for your wedding day to make you smile and put you at ease if I see you tensing up or getting anxious! ⠀ 4) You get to capture the happiest season of your life! Having a fiancée is a FUN thing and should be celebrated...wedding planning can get overwhelming and exhausting and engagement photos should be FUN and exciting! 🙌🏻 5) Make it a DATE NIGHT! Get all dolled up and end our session with a romantic night out just the two of you - with one rule: no wedding talk. Trust me on this one.⠀ ⠀ **For my out of town brides, we usually schedule your session the same day you come in town to do a hair & makeup trial or have other vendor appointments (cake tasting anyone!?) ⠀ ***If you or your fiancee get SUPER nervous, i always recommend a shot of whisky or even a glass of celebratory champagne before we get started! Works wonders. Promise.🥂 #engagementphotos #engagedandinspired #engagedinaustin #austinbride #austinbrides #planningmywedding
