I love getting to spend time with my couples before their wedding – the best way to do that is by getting to “practice” and get to know each other through an engagement session! That’s why it’s the very first thing we schedule after couples book! Part of that process is choosing *the best* of the best Austin engagement photo locations to shoot at – one that reflects the couple, who they are, what they like to do.

If you’re from Central, then you know that Austin is the crowning jewel for engagement photos. There is so much variety in terms of architecture, nature and overall feel. There are everything from iconic Austin landmarks to hidden gems within Austin’s countless neighborhoods.  Even with the number of times I’ve spent walking around the city, I love that there is always more to discover. My hope is that this blog post helps ATX couples choose their perfect spot – you’ll find photos from engagement session locations I’ve shot sessions at and LOVE!
