It was a warm Sunday morning in Texas. We headed out to Brackenridge Park late morning to create some beautiful images, and try to sneak past the rising heat before it got the better of us.
Gorgeous couple above? Meet Briahna and Josh <3
They're just recently engaged from a surprise engagement on Memorial Day where Josh and his brother employed a brilliant idea of having "Family Holiday Portraits" done as a way to have the whole family gathered, looking sharp, and to have a professional photographer hiding in plain sight to capture the event when he popped the question! Very sneaky and a great idea!! Two thumbs up on that one, Josh!
Here are a few sneak peaks of what we captured from our Photo Shoot on Sunday. We absolutely adore the way their blue outfits look against the grey metal of the bridge in this one above <3 I'm not gonna lie.... a "blue steel" reference might have slipped out of my mouth as we set up the shot... for all you Zoolander fans out there, lol.
Just beautiful, you guys look great!
They may look just incredibly cool, and Briahna, you're totally stunning in this one, but believe me, this couple loves to laugh!
AND NOW....... for a little behind the scenes for ya!

Some before and after action! We shoot in the camera very intentionally with a mixture of natural and artificial light to be able to achieve our signature look in the final edit.
Right side: Strait out of the camera with natural and artificial light. Left side: Massaged with love as the final custom edit comes to life!
Alright! That's all for now, folks! After all, this was just supposed to be a peak.
As always, thanks for stopping by and reading!
And Briahna and Josh, we wish you happy wedding planning over the next few months!

Top 5 Tips to make you look fab in your Engagement Photos:
1. Try Bright Colors.
While you may not want to go overboard and do ALL brights, a few pops of bright color will liven up almost any neutral palette, and add extra flare to even the most simple wardrobe. Have fun! Try bringing in one or two pops of color and building the outfit around it - Like a bright solid dress or skirt for the ladies, or a bright solid shirt for the guys, and then add matching accessories and layers!
2. Say NO to BUSY PATTERNS and LOGOS
Do try to stay away from busy patterns and words on clothing. Subtle patterns work well, but anything with words or a design that's too bold will stick out like a soar thumb and become distracting in the finished product.
3. DO TRY - SUBTLE PATTERNS and SOLID COLORS
Subtle patterns and Solid colors work great!! For those of you who don't want to have to think too hard about what outfits you want to wear, this is your safest (and easiest) bet!
4. Please NO Matchy- Matchy!
Try not to match each other exactly. For example: Both wearing blue jeans, and white shirts. We've all seen it... And most of us have been apart of it at one point in our lives or another..but please! Try to steer clear of this one as much as possible or risk dated looking photos and that dreaded JCPenny Portrait look!
Rather than that, try to pick a palette of colors that go well together and stay within those handful of colors. When having several colors to choose from rather than just 1 or 2, it sure does make shopping or looking through the closet a lot easier!
AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST....
5. Get Comfy!!!!
Another DO! - DO Wear clothes that you are comfortable in and that make you feel great! If you're constantly feeling like you have to "suck it in", or like you keep having to adjusting your wardrobe, that's probably not the outfit you want to break in that day. Your discomfort in your "foreign" attire will make you fidget and won't come across well in your photos. So pick something that makes you feel fab! And those tried and true wardrobe picks you've always loved!
Hope these 5 tips gave you a little inspiration! Now get out there and be your fabulous selves!
As always,
Thanks for reading! <3
