This was the most special Mattie’s Austin engagement session!! I had the absolute pleasure of capturing these sweet moments between these beautiful, wonderful people in Austin, Texas! Andria & Nick are getting married in April and I can’t contain my excitement! I get to be both a bridesmaid and their photographer, and I couldn’t feel more honored! I met Andria through the corporate job I had right out of college. I’m sure I will be repeating this story a lot throughout posting her wedding content (eek!! I can’t wait!!) but it’s just so special to me!
We would always eat lunch together at a park near our office and dream of what life looked like next. She said, “I think I might want to move to Austin Texas” and I said “I think I want to start photographing weddings”. So, as you can imagine, me photographing her wedding in Austin Texas couldn’t be more special! I always like to tell people we quit our jobs (where we were coworkers. In a very small office) on the same day (for dramatic effect), but it might have been one day apart. Still! I get so proud thinking of the younger versions of ourselves who came up with these bold ideas and immediately made them happen.A few weeks later, she was in Austin and I was launching myself into the wedding industry!
I had the absolute best time taking their engagement photos at Mattie’s in Austin! We grabbed brunch there first (of course!) which was delicious, then roamed the grounds capturing sweet moments between them wherever I found good lighting. Which was everywhere! Mattie’s is so stunning! If you know me, you know I love a good live oak tree. I got started in photography when I lived in Charleston, South Carolina. The live oak trees and gorgeous architecture there really sparked my love for taking photos!
The light through the trees captured on film will always be my favorite! I shot a mix of 120 and 35mm film on Kodak, developed by Photovision Prints for their Mattie’s Austin engagement session! I couldn’t be more obsessed with these, and I can’t wait to be back in Austin for their wedding weekend in a few weeks!
