Timeless Hotel Ella Engagement Photos | Ashley & Brian

Ashley and Brian’s engagement session at Hotel Ella in downtown Austin was every bit as stylish and joyful as their love story. Nestled in the heart of the city, Hotel Ella is the perfect blend of historic charm and modern elegance—an ideal backdrop for couples who want photos that feel both timeless and true to them.

These two first met on a dating app and quickly discovered that what started as a casual connection was the real thing. Four years later, Brian proposed at a beautiful spot in the Houston Arboretum, surrounded by nature and quiet romance—setting the stage for the next chapter of their love story.

As they look ahead to their wedding this November at the Four Seasons Austin, planned by the incredible team at Eclipse Events, their engagement photos serve as a joyful reflection of the journey they’ve shared so far.

Why Hotel Ella Was the Perfect Choice

Hotel Ella is a dream setting for engagement photos. Its stately columns, wraparound porches, and manicured lawns provide a touch of Southern sophistication, while the interiors bring in chic, contemporary vibes. For Ashley and Brian, the venue offered exactly what they wanted: a mix of architectural beauty and intimate spaces that let their personalities shine.

We explored both the exterior and tucked-away corners of the property, giving their gallery plenty of variety—romantic portraits under the veranda, editorial-inspired shots in front of the grand columns, and natural candids that captured their laughter and connection.
