Newly engaged couple taking photos in front of Austin Power building in Seaholm.

Hold on to your hats, folks, because I'm about to spill the beans on one of the sweetest and cutest couples I recently had the pleasure of photographing – the dynamic duo, Becky and Arturo! These lovebirds decided to immortalize their engagement bliss in the Seaholm area of Austin, Texas, a place that holds the key to many of their heartwarming memories.


Now, let me set the scene for you. It was a chilly day in January, but Becky, always the fashionista, came prepared in a long-sleeve black velvet dress that could make anyone's jaw drop. The Tristana long sleeve asymmetric velvet dress by Veronica Beard, to be precise. Picture this: a silk-kissed velvet dress that not only makes a smoldering statement but also features side-ruching that slants the hemline and flaunts some leg. Va-va-voom, am I right?


These two lovebirds first crossed paths in the magical world of Bumble. After what Becky fondly refers to as "an eternity," Arturo finally summoned the courage to ask her out. And oh boy, what a date it turned out to be! May 1, 2021, marked the beginning of their epic love story at Bar Peached in downtown Austin. The night took an unexpected turn when Becky accidentally danced on Arturo's toes. To smooth things over, she pulled a fast one on the waiter, claiming it was Arturo's birthday. Free dessert alert! Arturo, being the good sport he is, knew right then that this was going to be one heck of a ride with Becky.


Their first date turned into a four-hour extravaganza, and Becky, the queen of multitasking, couldn't resist sneaking off to the bathroom for some strategic updates to her best friend. Little did she know that Arturo was ready for more. In fact, he agreed without missing a beat. Now, that's what I call a trooper! Becky knew Arturo was a keeper when he not only held her hand but also adhered to the sidewalk rule, positioning himself between her and the road like a real-life superhero.


So there you have it – a love story that started with a toe-tapping mishap and a fake birthday celebration. But hey, isn't that the beauty of love? It's unexpected, a bit quirky, and always ready for a good laugh. Becky and Arturo, you're a match made in Bumble heaven, and I'm thrilled to have captured the magic of your engagement. Here's to many more toe-tapping adventures and sidewalk rule-following moments! Cheers!
