“Wow Ziem! These look incredible and could not have turned out more perfect! You did such an amazing job and we are so grateful. We will be in contact with you for wedding day photos soon 🙂 ”

I had the great pleasure of doing Michelle and Will’s downtown engagement portrait session last weekend. We met a little over a month ago {just days before Will would propose} at a function where I was commissioned by her {super cool} dad. Engagement sessions are my absolute favorite – nothing like capturing the story of two people in love. Such was the case with Michelle and Will – they are so laid back and easy going, fun to be around and should I just state the obvious- too hot for Texas?! The heat that day was too unbearable for May, I tell you, but they were all smiles and laughs, albeit sweaty smiles and laughs, rocking it out the entire session all the while keeping it fabulous. And I couldn’t help but notice how natural they were together, and in front of my camera. I guess history helps- Will’s Mom was Michelle’s 8th grade teacher so they have known each other for quite some time. I could go on about this fantastic couple but let’s get on with the photos.

Michelle and Will, I hope you all enjoy the photos as much as I enjoyed creating the memories {and of course spending time with your family at Fortune Restaurant}. Look forward to working with you again soon. Here are a few of my favorite images. You can see more by clicking on the slideshow below.
