Monica and Neil are getting married in Dallas in August and they decided last minute to have some engagement photos made. I’m so glad they found me and that we were able to squeeze this in before their big day.

We started the session with the bride-to-be in a sari, and what adventures await when you step out of the confines of eastern fashion. Let me give Monica credit where it is due for wearing yard upon yard of heavily embroidered material with pleats tucked into her waist and some fabric draped over her shoulder, all in the Austin heat, while looking casually cool. I thought this location would work well for lifestyle photos and that we would sneak our way in for as many shots possible before being removed by the owner.

Next, we ventured over to Fado where the couple first met three years ago. Here’s where I captured some of my favorites from the session.

Then we headed over to this mural I’d been eying for quite some time. I was waiting for the right couple and Monica’s dress couldn’t have been any more perfect.

Congrats, again, Monica and Neil. I enjoyed spending the afternoon with you both!
