Hey there! My name is Diana and I’m here to switch things up a bit. I’m a PVP bride (that’s me in all of these amazing photos!) and I’m here to give you the perspective of what it’s like having an engagement session with Paige…aka the best decision EVER. My fiancé, Marco, and I had *TWO-PART* engagement session with Paige that started in our home with our loving pups, and finished on a retro boat on Townlake in the heart of Austin.

I knew Paige was the perfect person to execute my dream engagement session. As a photographer myself, I have an appreciation for all of the hard work and dedication that a photographer puts into their work. Paige went absolutely above and beyond my expectations and created the most beautifully curated gallery for my fiancé and I. She had so many great ideas and tips to get the perfect shot!

Our morning started off with one of Paige’s favorite stylists, Kaleigh with Chillann Styling, came over for an in-home styling session to help us pick out the best outfits possible! She brought over a whole rack of hand selected outfits she picked out for us. Having professional styling included in our engagement session package was really such a special, unique, and luxurious experience.

Having photos in our new home was super important to us. It’s where we spend most of our time and we’re so proud of the space we were able to build with each other. Oh, and most importantly, we were able to include our dogs here! Paige was so amazing with our dogs and really took the time to make sure we felt comfortable and relaxed. My fiancé, who usually isn’t a fan of getting his picture taken, mentioned how comfortable and easy the photos were.

Part two of our engagement session took place on a retro boat on Townlake! Paige didn’t even hesitate on agreeing to photograph this wild idea of mine- HA! We got a boat for ourselves and a boat for Paige and her husband (who so kindly offered to drive her boat!). If you’re interested in doing something like this, I highly recommend renting two boats in order to get the perfect shot mid-water with the city behind.

I’m so grateful for Paige’s creativity, enthusiasm, and kindness during this process. She made this special moment in our lives SO memorable. On top of that, I’m thankful to all of the vendors who collaborated with us in order to pull off the most epic and memorable engagement experience. Luna Beauty Bridal did my hair and makeup, Kinsey with Truth and Blooms created the most beautiful arrangement for the back of our boat, Retro Boats provided the cutest little blue boat for us, and Kaleigh with Chillann Styling provided and in-home styling session to fit us for our amazing looks!

We’ll be getting married in October of 2023 at the LBJ Wildflower Center, planned by LBV Design House, and we are THRILLED to have the opportunity to work with Paige again!
