Colors of Love – Nick & Emily Engagement Pictures

After a crazy day of taking almost 1000 pictures, I send Emily a preview of the pictures to come… her response?

“That one will be pimp to have in our house, it’s like art but we are in it.”

I don’t think that there is more of a compliement that someone could give me then her simple words.
This brings a whole new challenge. I always want to do well, especially for such an awesome couple, but the bar has just been raised and I’m the competitve type that doesn’t like to disappoint.

Nick & Emily turned an afternoon in Austin into moments that will last forever…

As Nick & Emily walk into the restaurant you can just feel a wind of energy. Nerves are high as they know that I am going to capture every angle of both of them, as they hold each other’s hands their strength increases. I suggest drinks and they concur.

As we all finish the first round of mimosa’s it becomes obvious that the energy was not the nerves, it’s the love between them. This is the best/worst part of being a photographer. I get to share a moment in their life and they let me in… You realize how lonely life can be seeing in front of you why the word couple is used. Two people are no longer individuals, they are together in their journey and I am honored to be apart of it.

Time to put them to work.

1st location, 6 rooms, 2 wardrobe changes, 14 great shots.
I work them hard and they push back. We roll all around our beautiful city and they start dreaming of pizza.
Our last shot was at Lucky Lounge, a bar downtown.

Perfect. I need a beer.
