Allison + Curtis / South Austin Engagement Session / Austin Engagement Photographer by Melanie Grizzel

I thought it seemed only appropriate since we will be photographing Allison and Curtis' wedding on Sunday that I should post their engagement photographs today. These guys were both power players in DC government. How cool! Note: Allison's gorgeous bridals will go up next Tuesday. I can hardly wait to show them off!  Right after the wedding they are headed to the Windy City for Northwestern and graduate school.

They came in to Austin for a quick weekend last fall. We concentrated on South Austin locations and Zilker Park. It was a perfect fall (really winter, but fall feeling) day.  Sunday night Vintage Villas will be bursting at the seems with good times in honor of these two folks. Congratulations to them. I'm so thrilled to be a part of your wedding day.

Keeli -N- Kevin / Zilker Park and Auditorium Shores Engagement Session / Austin Engagement Photographer by Melanie Grizzel

As a photographer in Austin, I shoot a lot of the same locations.  Our clients see work of their friends and family online and already have a good idea of where they want to shoot. It's my job to perceive it differently each time, give each client something new; it makes their images better when I'm challenged and inspired. Some elements can make a difference.  Sunlight, time of day, time of year and other weather factors all come together to make it into each couple's engagement photos. Keeli -N- Kevin chose Auditorium shores and Zilker Park for their engagement session, and in their case, the wind really added to the entire experience.  It was no picnic for Keeli's long beautiful hair, but she eased into her session little bit by little bit.  After a brief moment of trying to fix her hair each time it blew, we got some really terrific candid and windy hair moments which I think adds character and charm to their images. I love shots like that, the ones where concern and nervousness has slipped away and what's left is the love they share. The moments they enjoy and the experience they have with each other and with me.

I'm excited for their wedding in July: Riviera Maya, Mexico. A beautful wedding with their nearest and dearest on Sunday night and a romantic after session at sunset on Monday. We'll be having some fun.
