I had so much fun capturing Ashley and Christian’s modern downtown Austin engagement photos on South Congress (which, if you’ve been following along, may be a space that looks familiar from our own engagement session)!

I shoot downtown regularly, and I have to say, this was one of my favorite sessions to date – A + C were reflected and just looking to have fun! They embraced the chaos of being in downtown Austin, and what resulted was nothing short of magic!

Christian and Ashley met towards the end of their time in undergrad at Duke University. They were in the same graduating class, but didn’t become friends until they both spent the summer between junior and senior year in Durham, NC. Ironically, they’d both been involved with planning live concerts on campus, as they both love live music, but their paths had somehow never crossed before then. Their friendship turned into dating towards the very end of senior year, when they realized we didn’t want to stop spending time together, and they dated long distance for the first 3 years after college.

Christian proposed during a last minute trip to Colorado, and now I can’t wait to capture their wedding at the brand new space at The Arlo in January 2023!

I met this lovely couple through their amazing planner Kierstin of Lovely Day Events, and I couldn’t have captured such beauty without the help of Lux Beauty and Bridal for hair and makeup, along with Caleigh of Chillann Styling for outfit styling.
